“If you have a student moving to secondary school I would highly recommend your child attending this course. My daughter was so genuinely frightened of starting a new school, without her friends but this course has been invaluable to her. She was well prepared for what the first few weeks threw at her. She settled much easier than I had ever dreamt of and is happy heading out in the mornings.”

“Hi Melissa thanks for helping xxxxxx fit in secondary school. Your course was a great help. Gave him confidence he hadn’t got before meeting you. There was small issues but would have been major ones only for you “

“Melissa I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for xx. She was so nervous about going to secondary before doing your course. She bounced into school on the first morning. It helped that she made a good friend on the course who was going to the same school. Thank you so much and I would have no problem in recommending this course to any parent. Well worth the investment.”
