What Our Students Say

I love how open and honest and supportive everyone is. I appreciate the tutor giving strong and clear instruction for the written work and the skills practice. Also that the work set is marked quickly, so I know where I stand.

Georgina

I found a safe space to be myself, I feel comfortable with my classmates and tutor, this is my third year and I don’t remember one day that I wouldn’t have wanted to come to the class. The environment, classmates, tutor, study and exercises (all together) facilitated (and still are facilitating) my personal growth, a better understanding of myself and acceptance. This journey made me flourish. It is helping me to fulfill my purpose, keeping my life balanced, connected with reality and people.

Maria

“The benefit of the creative stuff is just learning different activities that you could do with the children when you’re in the setting or learning what activities they actually like to do, or they prefer to do, that’ll actually help them with their development. You can even use [the kitchen] as different activities to do with the children, so, like making buns with them.”

Katie

“The facilities like the kitchen are so great because you get to learn about what nutrition children need, and you can make at home yourselves to look after the children or even in the nursery making different things for lunch and snack time”

Niamh

Really like my tutor, I find them to be direct, warm, professional and knowledgeable. They are helpful in asking me if I need any additional support. I find their turnaround with homework very efficient and their feedback is clear and helpful.
