I thoroughly enjoyed my time at freckles. Jo and everyone in the freckles team were so friendly and made me feel so welcome. The modules covered were informative and delivered in a fun and interactive way. I have finished the course full of confidence and positivity about the opportunities I will now be able to access thanks to freckles!

The Freckles course is exactly what I needed to feel ready to look after children. I was so worried about what to take, what to do if a child gets hurt or ill but the confidence that Jo and the team has instilled in me is simply amazing. I’m so proud of myself and I thank Jo for that primarily. I also have to mention what a great opportunity to meet like minded people. I have made some lovely friends this week!

“I’m not the most confident person but Jo and the Freckles course really pushed me out of my comfort zone and encouraged me to change my mindset. I found myself wanting to make the most of every opportunity and volunteering to take part even if I didn’t know what I was doing! Everyone on the course is so honest and helpful - and because they have so much experience you can ask them anything (day or night!). I’m so excited and now really confident to start my nannying role - I’m ready to show up!”

“I think if you are someone who wants experience, who loves children, who wants to know about children, umming and arring about doing the course or anything I would say 100% do it. I can confidently hand on heart say that this course has been incredible and I feel like a completely different person for the best. I feel like I can accomplish anything in life now positively and cannot wait for the future! Thank you so much Jo and the rest of the Freckles team, you are all amazing and I cannot thank you all enough.”

“As someone who is at a point in their life where everything is up in the air and uncertain, this course was exactly what I needed to confirm that a career change is necessary. Every element of the course is perfectly planned and each tutor leaves you feeling confident and knowledgeable. The Freckles team were beautifully caring and took such good care of us for the week - there was never a point where I felt down or alone. Jo's passion and experience shines through every single aspect of this course and inspires all with her infectious enthusiasm and energy. Thank you so much for everything, you've done more for me than I can ever tell you!”

“When I first heard about Freckles through my Head of Sixth Form, it immediately caught my eye as something a bit different in the best possible way! If you love families and working with children, but aren’t even sure you’d like to be a nanny, then this is such a fab course to do. It’s also a bit like a retreat for you, as the house and surroundings are gorgeous and the food, PT sessions and yoga are such great additions. The Freckles team are so lovely to work with and it feels like a family by the time you reach the end! Just go for it and you won’t regret it :)”

“Absolutely loved the course!! All modules were fun, super useful with practical resources to come away with and everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Well worth going for anyone considering nannying!”

IZZY B - JUNE 2021

“This course is a definite YES to anyone considering nannying. I have learnt so much and met some amazing people. Jo is so accommodating and lovely and made me feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment I pulled up to Glebe House. The setting is amazing and allows you to really relax and focus on each day of learning. It has really boosted my confidence going forward from writing my CV and cover letter to be a sole charge nanny. The course has set me up for my future nannying career and I couldn’t recommend it more!”
