Thanks to the great team at Swift. I know exactly where to go if I need support not just with the course but also personal concerns!

Apprentice

The staff have been really helpful, I have learnt a lot about the children's behaviours now that I've had experience having them for such a long period of time and how to react in situations. I have really enjoyed bonding with the children and helping them with their learning.
