“The wonderful Mrs Collins taught my eldest two children (who are now 10 and 8) when they were in early years. We have never forgotten her firm yet fun, caring and approachable manner. She would stand at the door and welcome them in the morning with a smile, commenting on their lovely coat or new shoes to make them feel special and secure. When I needed to chat she was friendly, approachable, helpful and sympathetic. Just really felt she cared and had the children and parents best interests at heart. Not forgetting to mention her high quality teaching and planning. On her last day I cried, and I rarely cry. She was, and still is, dearly missed at our school. 

We are really looking forward to spending time with Mrs Collins again at Wonder of Why.”

"I’ve known Mrs Collins for 7 years after her having taught both my children. 

My eldest daughter had a love for learning already and when she entered early years she excelled even more with Mrs Collins guidance. She left early years exceeding for her age and continues push herself and enjoys her creativity and work. 

When my son joined early years he had no interest in learning, I had tried at home to no prevail. 

Mrs Collins captured his imagination and he began to show interest in learning. The excitement, enthusiasm and fun way of learning really captured him. This was Definitely the start of his love of learning. He now thrives in all areas of school and has a genuine love for school and learning. We also believe this gave him drive to excel at sports and tasks he sets his mind too. 

I’m really excited about taking our 3rd child through Wonder Of Why and her beginning her learning journey."
