'Gemma came to work  for a day with our Year Two Foundation Stage students. The feedback was excellent, the students were very enthusiastic and have already discussed the impact her session has had on their practice back in their settings. Her session was very practical as we requested, she shared many good practical ideas and brought some lovely resources and musical instruments - it was just what we needed! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gemma and we hope to use her again in Lancashire for workshops and further sessions on our degree course.'
