“I would recommend FVC as I felt each step of the way there was always support in place to help you - you never felt like you were alone. The course I studied was amazing. I enjoyed learning all about children’s development and ways that I, as a practitioner, can support children in their development and would recommend this to people with a passion in childcare.”
