I really love it and don’t see any other support learning tool out there that has the functionality , engaging content and accessibility and learning potential that Natterhub has. The pitch for all ages is right and the space to explore within it is fantastic for all ages and abilities. The children have loved it and ultimately that is the biggest compliment .
