” Ollie has been to Ignite for the first time today and came home a very happy boy bursting with stories about his fun day. Ollie can get quite anxious with new situations and I have always struggled to get him to go to holiday clubs in the past. He was nervous about going this morning but James with brilliant with him. He took the time to show him around and introduced him to another boy his age who had been the previous day which really put Ollie at ease and he settled quickly. He is asking when he can go again he enjoyed it that much! Thank you Ignite. ”
