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!

Charlie M - May/June 2023

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!

Maddie - Feb 2023

“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!”

ASHLEIGH M - FEB 2022

“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.”

KATIE D - FEBRUARY 2022

“I absolutely loved my time in Freckles course and truly believe that everyone was so lovely and have made friends for life. Jo was so inspirational and so easy to talk to and all of her experiences was so amazing. I would 100% recommended this course to anyone that is considering coming.”

MADDIE S-T - OCTOBER 2022

“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!”

EMMA R - JULY 2021

“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 :)”

JANE W - JUNE 2021

“So friendly and homely, whilst I also learnt so many new things, making me feel so much more confident with babies and children. All of the teachers were incredible and so relaxed and knowledgable; so much fun!”

EMILIA L - SEPTEMBER 2020

“It makes you feel prepared and confident to go into most childcare situations even if you’re not necessarily planning on being a nanny!”

TILDA H - JULY 2021

“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!”

The team at Freckles were always friendly, helpful and enjoyable to be around. The lessons were engaging and I could not recommend this course more, even if you aren't 100% sure you want to be a nanny or work in the industry I would still suggest taking the course as you will come away learning many good life skills and a fun experience that you'll never forget. 

Bobbi - Nov 2023

Definitely give Jo or Lucy a ring if you’re considering the course. They’re so helpful and reassuring. The course was so much fun and a great way to get booked onto a ski season or a way to become more confident in starting your nannying journey. So many added extras which just made the week truly amazing!

Rosie - Nove 2023

“This course was amazing and so inspiring! Jo and the other teachers are all so knowledgeable, and will teach you so much in a fun and relax environment so you feel ready and experienced enough to go off and nanny. They're are all welcoming and friendly and took such good care of us all week! The course was informative and was a valuable learning experience, my favourite part was meeting 4 week old baby Isla! Jo also provided us with a Kaya Nanny Companion book, which is the ultimate book of nannying knowledge and has the answer to everything!!”

TALLULAH Y - OCTOBER 2022

“I have learned to become more confident around new people and also around the basics which is going to make me be the best Nanny I can be coming from a Nursery setting which is more different to Nannying than I originally thought.”

JASMINE F - FEBRUARY 2022

“So informative! It really helped my confidence with childcare especially with babies! I cant wait to test out what I know!”

ALINA S - JULY 2021

“This course has been amazing and out lived my expectations. The company was amazing and we where treated so well. I feel like I have come out of this course with a whole new lease of confidence when working with kids and a whole new view how to not only look after kids but also myself. Thank you for such an amazing week.”

ISSY V-E - JUNE 2021

“Hello! I’m Sophia. I’m 18 years old, on my gap year and I went on the Junior Nanny Course in December. The Freckles course was amazing! I decided to go on the course as I was already a part time babysitter looking after a lovely 3 year old boy and I really wanted to gain the skills and confidence to become a full time nanny. The course is packed with learning, activities, making friends and having lots of fun. It has really helped me gain the confidence I needed to become a full time nanny. I am now a full time nanny for the family, caring for all 3 children. I’m helping with homeschooling during lockdown and also taking them out and about. I now feel comfortable in all situations I am put in with the family I work for. It was such a great experience as I learnt so many good life lessons!”

SOPHIA K - DECEMBER 2020

“I was greeted by the lovely Jo, who made me feel at home. Then joined by lovely girls, who were super kind and friendly. We learnt some easy and delicious recipes, as well as tools to help children with their emotional health, which covered necessary subjects I would have never thought of mentioning. The improvements to my CV and cover letter were exceptional, giving me confidence to apply to many nannying jobs. I had my first experience holding a baby and got understanding of how to look after them. Everyone is leaving with a paediatric first aid certificate as well as an enhanced understanding on child care. This course has been amazing in not only building my understanding in child care but confidence to go for things I previously thought might be out of my reach. So much thanks is to be given to Jo and her wonderful team.”

CHARLOTTE M - OCTOBER 2021

We learnt everything you need to know to get you started in your nannying career. So much more to learn, but this course is the ultimate foundation. For anyone thinking about it, DO IT!”

HOLLY W - NOVEMBER 2021

SOPHIE B - NOVEMBER 2021

“The Freckles course was honestly one of the best things I’ve done this year, I am so happy I came. I have meet some lovely people that I am sure will be friends for life. Every single day was something completely new and different, and all equally as interesting and fun as the last! Jo and her team did everything to make us feel so comfortable and happy, every last detail was thought about, whether that be delicious home cooked food, or our beautiful welcome packages. I am coming away from the course so much more confident looking after children, and in my myself. I loved the Freckles course and I will rave about my experience whatever I end up doing or going! I couldn’t recommend the course to anyone more, whatever level of experience you have!”

You learn so much, the teachers and trainers were so friendly and informative. I would 100% say to do this course, you will love it. Jo and Becca made the evenings so much fun from the after eight challenge, to long evening walks and the meals were delicious! Have fun! x”

CESCA W - JUNE 2021
