I did a baby, child & adult first aid course with Claire on 28 February and it was such a brilliant course cause she is so good at explaining everything so well from start to finish, and the practical side felt so real at times it really puts you in that situation. I’m very happy with it, and be lovely to have her again. Plus Claire is a mum herself, and has so many stories, real stories to share.
Well worth it!!

It was an excellent course which was good value for money and Gail is very personable and did a great job in delivering at the right level. I just wanted to thank you for the excellent training that you gave us at Meadowbrook Montessori School. I feel that I have taken a bite from the elephant. Just wanted to say how fantastic the course was yesterday. You have such a lovely manner & an invaluable source of knowledge & experience that reached us all as parents. Thank you.
