Learning and development courses in Northampton

“We visited the Brampton Institute for the first time on Saturday 18th February 2017. We were greeted in a friendly manner, chatted to the regulars who were friendly and had a brilliant night with the 80's disco that was on that night! They have regular performers each month. Drinks were far cheaper than a regular pub so bonus! There is a good size car park at the rear but also parking space on the main High street at the front. They have a room for private functions upstairs which I am considering using for a club meet and were happy to show me round it even at the late hour! You must become a member to go to the club although you are allowed to visit up to 3 times a year before you decide but we shall be joining after our first! All in all a good night!”

“Fantastic holiday camp, the kids love it every time. There is a great range of activities on offer and the kids come home very happy!”

“Location is lovely, the grounds are beautifully kept. You can approach the College from the North, Ickwell, West, Old Warden and the East off the B658, if you approach from this side, be aware that sometimes the road is closed as it crosses Old Warden Airfield Runway.”

“Very helpful, friendly, polite, efficient staff. The advisor I had email contact with was very polite, and efficient, as well as being warm, and satisfying me, and answering my questions.”

“5 Stars - I would 100% recommend Training by Lumiere to anyone thinking of setting up a photography buisness or looking to improve their photography skills! I was the winner of the 2017 "60 Seconds to Change Your Life" competition run by Training by Lumiere in conjunction with The Photography Show at the NEC Birmingham. Following several intense knock-out rounds, I was honoured to win the competition and receive a place on the 2017-18 Foundation Programme by TBL. Training by Lumiere consists of Kate and Brent, two incredibly knowledgable photography professionals with years of real-world experience in the industry. They are so warm and open in sharing everything they have learnt in their careers - none of it is just theory, but real, practical advice tried and tested by themselves. The quality of the information shared is second to none. It is so inspiring to be trained by successful, practicing photographers/videographers. Kate and Brent aim to fill in the blanks left by many other Photography educators with a real emphasis on business skills, professional practice and practical skills. I have a first class honours photography degree (2010-13), but I can't express enough how useful and transformative I found the Foundation Programme. As I left each and every session my brain was buzzing with new knowledge and I felt super inspired to make positive and impactful changes to my business. The 1-2-1 mentoring time is absolutely invaluable and allows for individual time spent with Kate and Brent on any aspect of photography or business practice that you choose. Training by Lumiere has been an integral part of starting and developping my photography buisness. I would encourage anyone considering this programme to go for it!”

“My children have been attending for a while now. The team is great, very friendly and focused on getting the best from all the students. Amazing place!”

“Ingrid and staff were incredibly nice and helpful. Now I’m on my way to earning my bachelors. Can’t thank her enough, definitely recommend any service members to reach out and get their education through them!”

“Very nice venue, I went to a Roccitree yoga class for the first time last Saturday and enjoyed it so much. The building is beautiful and it's a great feeling to step in. The class was fantastic too ❤️”

“Really great place, can only talk about my violin teacher as, i haven't experienced the coaching of any of the other teachers. He is really patient and friendly, very knowledgable and happy to answer any technical questions i have. Everyone is very friendly, particularly the receptionist who is lovely.”

“Fantastic well run club. Suitable for the whole family.”

I now have a lot more confidence in quickly setting up my camera for each shot, I wish to thank them for a most enjoyable and instructive afternoon and would recommend a session to anyone wanting to improve their hobby.”

“We are so grateful for the love and care Alphabet Day Nursery has given to our daughter. She has come home with big smiles, new songs, a few mysterious stains and stories we will never quite understand! But we wouldn’t want it any other way. She has made some lovely friends and has learnt so much, especially writing, which she loves! The staff are so super attentive and caring and always go the extra mile to make sure the children have a great time. She is really going to miss everyone as she starts her school journey in September. Highly recommend Alphabet Day Nursery :) x”

“Both my sons attend Rascals and always have a fantastic time. Rascals is very well run and I can highly recommend.”
