Incredible Eggs is committed to providing a valuable and meaningful learning experience – and only the best will cock-a-doodle-do!
We are delighted to have been working with best-selling children’s and teacher’s author Molly Potter to further build on this key area of our service. Many teachers will already be familiar with Mollys fantastic educational resources, with so many well-loved books and book series to her name. Molly has even created a fabulous new resource pack specifically created for care home residents, with something for everyone!
