"I learn everything from making a bottle and changing a nappy, to how to safeguard a child. I go to placement at a primary school; it’s amazing the bond you build with the children and how much they develop in such little time."
Soraya Lawrence
"I like that you get to study around like-minded individuals and tutors that treat you like an adult. You get the support and guidance that you need and the facilities to help you train to be what you want to be."
Phoebe Hartshorne
"The course is structured really well and the lessons are fun and easy to understand, and you are able to go at your own pace. Placement is amazing, you gain a lot of experience and hands on learning. The course gives you so many opportunities."
