| Dear Ms Christine; words cannot express how happy we are for our precious angel Armani to have you as her teacher. In the short while that she has been under your wing at Little Gems we have noticed her confidence grow and her 'strong personality' being channelled purposefully - and for that we thank you sincerely. In the short while that she has been under your care we have noticed her transition from a toddler to an independent child and you've done an excellent job, and for that we appreciate you sincerely. Most importantly, Ms Christine, being expats in a land foreign to us, you have been a 'constant figure' to Armani and as such, have become equivelent to a member of our small family on this island. For the love and affection you have given Armani you will always hold a special place in our hearts, eternally. |

| Thank you so much for teaching Callum whilst at Little Gems. He has really enjoyed it, mixing with others his age as he has always been at home and we were anxious about his start. He comes home and says he's been painting, colouring and cutting with so much enthusiasm and excitement, we have been so pleased. Ms Maggie, Cheryl and team you are a real credit to Little Gems. Thanks once again, |

| Dear Nicky, on behalf of Colin and myself I would like to thank you and your team for giving Lilly such a wonderful start to her schooling life. She has blossomed during her time in Sapphire Class and never ceases to amaze us with the snippets she comes out with. One of my favourites was "Miss Nicky says Lobster is delicious!" I know that she will miss you enormously - she is always talking about you and I have to confess I have used you as bargaining power on more than one occasion! We feel very privileged that she was fortunate enough to be in your class and just hope that she is as lucky next year at St Christopher's. It has been a pleasure knowing you and I do hope you have a well deserved summer break. Thank you once again. With our very best wishes, |

| 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. |

| The Groblers, added July 2006 |
| " '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." |
