Al you were such a wonderful person and are so, so missed. You were friendly and welcoming and always wanted to go that extra mile, especially for the children you worked with. From setting up the nurture group to seeking out ways to help the children academically, you had their best interests at heart and would fight for them and I loved you for that. Thank you for your words of comfort when I had Sophie and when we lost Mark’s dad. I always felt better after being in your company and I know others did too. Hannah, Nick and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Heaven gained another angel and Springside will never be the same without her x

Alison, I used to love working with you at Springside. We made such a great time… mainly because you organised me every day! Your personality shone through in everything you did and you always made my day brighter. You were always there for me through the good days but there extra in the bad days. You are one of the most passionate, caring people I ever met and I miss you lots. Look after Isla for me, no prosecco until she’s 18! Xxx
