My little boy started off as quite cautious going to Lisa’s, as he is always nervous of new people. However soon enough he was trotting in happily, saying hello to scout the dog and excited to play in the garden or go and see the chickens. He grew in confidence, physical stamina (lots of walking!) and personal skills. Zips, buttons, opening his own crisp packets, road safety, “Lisa taught me how” became something I started to hear a lot! He adored baking with Lisa and still talks about it nearly a year since leaving for school. There were plenty of opportunities for him to get out in the woods and explore, and one of his favourite things, going to play groups in the church and the old peoples homes to see the “grannies and grandpas” Lisa’s home is a warm and happy place, and I believe she was a big part in not only preparation for school, but in the lovely little boy he is today. Thank you Lisa. We miss you!
