• The course has been invaluable. I have learned so much which i now use in my day to day life, my whole family has benefitted from this course and will for years to come.
• Transferable skills! – it works and it will again.....
• I felt it has given me the opportunity for reflexion, I have had the time that I needed to think about my children, value them and my family
• I have learned that my children are loving, playful and fun to be with, they are wonderful and lovely – things aren’t that bad!
