“All the information shared was most useful, couldn't be better. Claudia and Jen are excellent trainers, best I have had in my 20 years’ experience in early years”

“Lots of ideas to implement to further better our current practice especially in line with new changes from September. It has made me feel there is some areas to improve but a good reflective tool for us to think what we are currently doing”.
