Testimonials

'I find your resources absolutely fantastic. We have used them a lot during the lockdown period, more than anything to enhance what we are given from school.'

- Sarah

'I really do value your resources, I wouldn't be surviving home schooling without them. I love the daily resources email. It’s so helpful to have activities to do each day directly in my inbox (no searching required!) and some specific help for me as a parent. Keep ‘em coming!’

- Rowena, West Sussex

Thank you so very much for all the help your site is giving myself to aid my daughter's education at home. Truly, it makes her day enjoyable, structured and continuous.

- Julie, Northamptonshire

'ABSOLUTELY amazing site. Very grateful. Having 2 weeks off over the Easter holiday and just doing the emailed sheets but back on it week commencing the 20th. It's worth spending these 2 weeks just getting familiar with the site and building up your resources. I'll use it so much when they are back at school as well.'

- George, Cheltenham
