How exciting for little ones who will be starting school for the very first time, what a lovely journey they all have ahead of them.

Of course we're going to miss them dreadfully, but now it's time to pop on those backpacks, buffer those new shoes and tidy up the hair and wave goodbye to them as they embark on their first year of school!
