About MBK Group Early Years Training and Consultants

I can quite confidently say finding MBK was my best ever Google search!! As a setting we had a really difficult few months following a negative Ofsted inspection. The staff morale was very low and it was very hard for me as owner & manager to get any message across to any of my staff. I came across MBK via a Google search in an act of despair. It turns up engaging MBK was the best decision I ever made! The staff responded to their feedback and totally loved the inspiring advice and the team training session delivered by Emma & Charmaine. I plan to continue working with them long-term on my settings progress. Thank you ladies, we are definitely ON THE BUS!

Tricia Visited our setting to carry out a Quality Assessment visit. The this was really positive and her extensive knowledge around the Early Years was really valued and appreciated. She worked with us to set the nursery achievable targets that were tailored to us specifically. Her suggestions only enhanced our setting further and this has proved to be an invaluable advisory experience for us all.

If it hadn’t been for this inspection experience then the staff would not have got to grips with the three I’s and the quality of education judgement may have been compromised. As it was the team became much more focused on how to implement the three I’s and how this affected closing gaps in children’s learning.

MBK has helped so much as we have four settings and therefore many staff who need to keep Up to date with Early Years Training etc. MBK have a wide range of courses and dates that we are able to fit around different staff's working pattern, company positions and we can prioritise and plan accordingly.
The courses they attend are relevant and of interest and informative. Being with others from the workplace helps also as it prompts discussion and confidence.

The implementation of the 30 hours was a minefield. with the help of MBK on the 30 hours, all was made a lot clearer and we were shown how it could work for us, if we implemented it in the right way with the right wording.

I was surprised by the excellence of the courses attended but was also very impressed with the aftercare received in supporting documentation and advice including a private Facebook page for those who had attended the 30 hour workshop.

I chose Tricia knowing that she has a lot of experience and expertise in Early Years, is directly involved in Early Years owning her own settings, and campaigns hard for early years providers. This made the choice easy as I felt she understood the sector better than other training providers who maybe had never worked in the industry. The course was relevant and up to date and informative.

I have recommended Tricia to other providers and always say that the courses I have accessed are excellently delivered and have relevant content.

Tricia has supported me individually as well as my managers to grow into the roles they have. Tricia has given me faith in my own ability when it wasn’t so great. She has helped me to have the confidence to take my business to the next level.

Why did I choose Tricia? Well, no one else would put up with me, or tell me the truth about things even if I didn’t want to hear it! I have been told we are quite similar (bit of the marmite factor) and perhaps that is why it has worked so well. She has been a peacemaker and a support, a sounding board, but most important to me a confidant when others had let me down. We have also used MBK for training and the courses have all been really good.
