The most exciting event for the pair will be Louis' fourth birthday, and we're sure his parents will pull out all of the stops to make sure that the youngster has a memorable one.

Louis was probably welcomed by the sight of his favourite toy or a picture from home when he arrived at Willcocks, a gesture for all new children to help them make a smooth transition from home to school.
