• ‘Thank you so much for a very motivating and inspiring day’.
• ‘Very interesting, lots of ‘food’ for thought and practical ideas’
• Fantastic and one of the most enjoyable courses I have been to (Worth giving up my whole sunny Saturday for) I think it should be delivered to all settings and should be compulsory for all to attend….especially if they are working with 2 year olds! Thankyou for fitting me into the course….even though it was full. I am truly grateful’.
