Feedback we received from parents: 

• “We had such an amazing break and managed to go to away together which we would not have done if not for KEF. No words are enough to thank you all!” 

• “He’s a boy of few words but he’s been walking round with his link book ever since we’ve been home. I think that speaks volumes!”  

• “He came home a different child; he has been more calm and so happy!! The environment is a place where he flourishes and thrives, and we literally see it! We are so grateful for KEF!”
