[The thing I liked best was…] That’s its a safe space for parents. I learnt about new books and remembered the things my dad played with me. I built confidence to read books to my baby and I love the pouch I made with songs so I can have a routine singing children’s songs and rhymes with him.

I just want to say how lovely my tutor, Lucie, is and how welcome she made me feel. She’s had amazing ideas for me to use at home with my two children. I really hope she’s back for more courses in the new year. I’ll sign up straight away!

My tutor creates an environment of trust, helps us build confidence as human beings and parents, makes you feel you can do it.

The family learning team are such a valuable resource to the parents in York and the childcare staff are fantastic and deserve recognition. The creche team have gone above and beyond to forge a relationship with my daughter who has additional needs and allowed her to feel comfortable in their care. Their patience and compassion to the children in their care is phenomenal.

[The best thing about the course] was that reading a book with my children has become interesting. I love the spinner challenge and story cube that Sally introduced us to.

I would love to express my positive feedback after Kerry’s classes at York learning. She always makes sure everyone is engaged in the class and treated fair. Not only does she run interesting and full of knowledge classes but additionally cares a lot outside of them, asking us how we are all doing in our private life. She is a very valuable person to the York Learning community.

It was very hands on which worked well when trying to put skills into practice. The Nature ABC idea was a brilliant idea to build on after the course.

To have someone who is so knowledgeable and experienced instructing the course was incredible. I gained so much knowledge that I’m sharing and using with my family

The course is exceptionally interactive and also informative because you get to learn from each member of the class.

Kerry has been a fantastic tutor, sharing really relevant information in an accessible way. She’s been so supportive and welcoming, I’d sign up for more courses that she tutors on!

The tutor Sally is such an asset to the team, she is warm and welcoming to everyone. Sally always goes the extra mile and her knowledge and passion for learning whilst inspiring parents to achieve more is phenomenal. Anita, who delivered the online safety session was very knowledgeable and made the session less daunting due to how she delivered the session.
