“Busy Things is one of the best loved resources in our school. It helps support the education of our younger children and is an old friend to those higher up the school. All the tools are easy to use and require very little teaching time before the children are fully engaged in the lesson. A superb piece of software – it just works 😊!”
Mrs O, St. Faith’s School, Cambridge
