Five year old Polly Drury says: “I love to read with my older friend, Susan.”

Anne Walton said: “It’s lovely that one of the children sits with me and says she likes me and another one shouted hello across the street the other morning. It makes me feel so good! I’ve even been invited to sports day at the school.”
