Testimonials of happy parents
Child M was really struggling within our school and was becoming increasingly unhappy. There was a high number of physical interventions and aggressive behaviour and he was becoming increasingly unsafe.
1st Fun Learning staff came across as very warm and caring. They quickly built up a relationship with the student and effectively managed some difficult situations, in a caring and safe way. They were also very supportive of Mum.
"This is a great place our son loves it here."
This child came to us struggling to spend more than 30 minutes within school with out parent support, unable to access the classroom, English was his second language so he found it very difficult to communicate, along with lacking social skills and a diagnosis of autism.
During his time at 1st Fun Learning we taught him key Makaton signs and English words, we also gave him the opportunity to be able to engage and socialise with other children in a safe and controlled environment.
After his 12 week programme with us he was able to transition back in to his school.
After 4 months schools feedback;
" Child D is in school full time and for the most of that time he is in the classroom playing and learning with his peers. He has made great progress with his speech and has made some friends. He took part in our swimming gala and sports day this week too. We wanted to thank you for all you did to help child D and his Mum this school year."
"A great place that is fun and welcoming for children."
"The staff are amazing and really kind and supportive to us and our child!"
