| Dear Ariette, Grace, Oonagh, Maggie and everybody; Thank you ever so much for your great support/education/second home for Jasper!! We have only lived one year in Bahrain but because of Little Gems and your fantastic staff you all made a happy boy of Jasper. He loved going to school and as parents we are really happy and proud of course! We are going off to Dubai, but we wish you all the best and success with Little Gems, and keep on going with your highly qualified level of education to all the lovely kids! |

| To Christine. Fraser has been extremely happy at Little Gems. Thank you for all the time, effort and patience. He is always singing the rhymes he sings at school and recently loves to count everything! The topics and projects have really interested him and I am amazed the amount of material he has bought home. |

| Just to say a huge thank you to you all during Aaron's 3 years and Aidan's 18 months at Little Gems. We can't believe Aaron's about to start 'big' school and of course Aidan will be going to a new nursery in England for his last year. They'll settle well as they're both bright and confident boys which is indicative of their time spent with all the teachers, assistants and helpers at your nursery. There are too many to mention and we wouldn't want to miss anyone out, but Aaron & Aidan will miss you all and be talking about you for a long time to come such is the great impact you've had on their lives. Little Gems is a great nursery and we really can't thank you enough. Huge thanks |

| "Dear Miss Maggie. Little Gems is such a perfect name for the school. Not only do I as a parent think of my Selma as being just that (even though she can be a little rough around the edges!); but I truly find that you are one too. It makes me happy to see the joy Selma feels when she is going to school and to Miss Maggie. Thank you for being so caring and loving and for making Selma feel so special. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful beginning of school for her. I am grateful that you are holding a special place in her little heart. |

| "To all at Little Gems. Thank you so much for making this last year a happy one for Rebecca - I cannot praise the teachers enough for all the warmth, care & 'open-armed' approach they have shown. It is a fantastic school and hopefully little Graham will also get to experience it!" |

| " 'A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart'. In just such a way have you reached out to Alex since he started attending your school. We are quite sure that the time he has spent at your school will still have a great effect on his life for some time to come. We have seen him grow up and expand his knowledge at Little Gems, thanks to your help and understanding. Unfortunately the time has come for us to say goodbye. We shall truly miss you and can only pray that Alex will once again be part of such a caring and fun filled environment like yours. Thanks so much for the happiness you've bought us and the friends that our little Alex has made at school. Kind regards." |
