“Thank you very much for all the great work you’ve done with him, we’ve been really delighted with the way you’ve worked and the difference you’ve made.  It certainly hasn’t been straightforward.  I look forward to continue working with you with others”

“Before Est. became involved, he would not engage with any professionals but with Est. support, he has engaged consistently and completed lots of work around SEMH and building self-esteem. He has even been able to leave the home on several occasions with his key workers. I know school were blown away by the difference in him. I strongly recommend, if possible, the provision with Est. continues into the next academic year.”

“Mum was singing your praises saying how much more positive he is now and how being with you has given him a confidence boost.”

“Now we have someone like you, it is so reassuring for the both of us.”

“He rates your service a 10/10. I’m so pleased, he is absolutely loving it and making good, positive progress.”

“He comes homes every day with a big smile on his face and tells me what he’s been up to.”

“I am amazed with his progress since he has started his tuition with Est Education. It is clear that the support he is receiving has increased engagement and in turn, opened avenues for him which have been closed for some time. We look forward to updates on his ongoing development - Keep up the great work!”

“The sessions are going well and our worker is fantastic. We are very happy with everything so far.”

“Can I rate you 11 out of 10?! Honestly, you have been incredible – the way you get children on board, promote their self esteem, resilience and give them space to be themselves is so worthwhile! When I bumped into her in Costa during a session and she was working so hard that she didn’t really want to talk to me because she was so focused, was so amazing!

Thank you for everything”

“I am really enjoying it, there’s nothing really that needs to change.”

“I just wanted to say that you have been so valued in her package of support. It’s clear that she loves her time with you and the other mentors,  and I’ve appreciated how quick you are to reply, offer support, factor in topics relevant to her etc. It’s clear that your service places the child at the heart of everything – so a big thank you from me!”

“She has come on in leaps and bounds since this service has started. Her mental health is improving, and her self-care. Her attitude towards learning and developing herself has really changed for the better. She has also been able to socialise better and we believe this is through the support she is receiving.”

“My child was in a bad place regarding attending any school placement. Since Est has come along into her life she’s thriving, always asking when are staff coming to collect her and enjoys the sessions, always comes home and tells me what she has been doing in her sessions and what they have planned for the next one. This was the best option for my child, with her having a bad time in school placements. I just wish this would have come into her life sooner.”
