The course was enlightening, it touched points and gave clarity about a lot of things. It made me more confident about taking starting solids sessions for my community. Also, the Trainer was amazing, content delivery was great and she did let us ask a lot of questions and answered patiently.

Super cool course & friendly environment to enjoy while gaining useful knowledge

– Anna J.

The course was great, as a nursery nurse caring for babies I had knowledge on weaning but feel more confident in supporting babies and their parents throughout this process, I have deepens my knowledge on what I may be able to expect a baby to eat (consistency etc) at each age and stage of their development.

– Leah M.

I think the course was short.. 2 hours are not enough!
There wasn’t too much time left for a discussion and we didn’t go into the details.
Also the room where was the course was cold and small for 13-15 students.
(The air condition has been turned down after asking our teacher.)
