I came to Middlesbrough College without knowing anyone from school, but straight away, I loved it -  I actually enjoy waking up in the morning to come to class!

My teachers are brilliant. I get all the support I need, and they always make sure everyone is involved and engaged, whether it's group work or independent.

The Childcare course covers everything in one package, from safeguarding to additional needs, and has really helped prep me for the next step. Ideally I want to work in a primary school and I've already been based in one thanks to my placement which has been really interesting.

There's been a couple of times when I've struggled with my work, however my teachers are always more than happy to help and encourage us to speak to them with any concerns.

I love everything about Middlesbrough College, from the non-uniform to the library; there's everything you could need here. Even the food is great, and the canteens are great places to just chill with friends.

I would 100% recommend both the College and the course!
