The children all had a fab time, they couldn’t wait to tell everyone about it when they got back to nursery.
Our first trip to the Dungeons was a success and the pupils thoroughly enjoyed their experience. It really was excellent!
We had a wonderful day on Friday and your staff team couldn’t have been more helpful. All went the extra mile to ensure we had a great day!
