Success Snapshot
The guidance and education provided by Redbridge Institute was instrumental in my recent achievement of opening my own nursery. The teachers at Redbridge were nothing short of brilliant. Their dedication to thoroughly explaining each concept and their willingness to go above and beyond in their teaching methods ensured a deep and practical understanding of childcare development. This solid foundation has been crucial in my ability to establish and manage my nursery effectively. The confidence I gained from my studies at Redbridge was pivotal. It equipped me with the courage and conviction to turn my dream of running my own nursery into a reality. This newfound confidence has been a driving force behind the successful launch and ongoing management of my nursery. I am immensely thankful for the nurturing environment at Redbridge Institute, which not only imparted essential knowledge but also inspired confidence and a profound commitment to childcare.” Shamrana Hussain, Learner, Childcare & Early Years
