“Retford music lessons has been incredibly beneficial to my music progression. Pete has vast experience in the music industry and this is evident by how unbelievable his ear is. His teaching methods in guitar are clear and concise and is quick to adapt to suit the way I absorb information. He has navigated areas where I have previously struggled with ease and care. His professional and friendly style ensures it is always fun and I leave every session having gained knowledge. I would highly recommend Pete for a guitarist of any level looking to move on to the next stage. I look forward to continuing my musical journey with Pete and Retford Music Lessons. Great work.”

“Wow! Not enough stars to rate this restaurant. To say they blew us away with customer service is an understatement. 3 of us booked in for breakfast & we mentioned it was a pre wedding breakfast for the Groom, Grooms father & Best man. We arrived to find the table set up specially for us with a boxed flower arrangement & card written to the groom from all the staff. It was a tear jerker. Irrespective of the fact only 3 of us had booked to attend, the management had taken the decision to go the extra mile knowing we couldn’t possibly eat or drink enough to pay for the flowers or maybe they’d just break even. We talked about how amazingly kind they’d been all day. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I nearly forgot to tell you just how great the food was too! The best breakfast I’ve had for a few years also. They have freshly squeezed orange juice which was a treat you don’t often find. Super sausages & black pudding! The groom is vegan & Rondo caters as part of their standard offer a full vegan menu choice. Quite genuinely, it’s brilliant with awesome staff! Thank you all.”

“Loved the atmosphere and the staff”

“Fantastic place, my son who's 6 goes twice a week he loves it.. Not only do they learn martial arts but discipline, responsibility, learning Korean, fitness, flexibility, life skills etc. I couldn't recommend it enough for charter day my son had the responsibility to show the general public his skills and break boards, his confidence has grown and wouldn't think twice to lead a presentation for example in the future. Thank you Master Blinston for being a great coach.”

“Special needs school absolutely outstanding care”

“As a parent of a pupil in year 6 at Ranby House, I cannot express my gratitude for how the school have adapted so quickly to maintaining the exceptionally high standards of teaching during the COVID 19 lock-down. We are both front line NHS and Social work staff, who simply could not have continued to work as we are, without the incredible teaching support we are receiving Monday to Friday for our daughter. From 08.30 - 3.45 pm our daughter is happy, engaged, learning, having fun and academically progressing. We simply could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ranby House and Worksop College team, you are 'simply the best'”

“Fabulous service, at first it felt a bit onerous to fill in the online referral but it was very user friendly and did help me to focus and be clearer about my symptoms which saved time in the face to face appointment (which I opted for although was given the option of a telephone consultation instead). I was kept quickly up to date regarding my request and telephoned within 2 hours to be offered a same day appointment which was totally satisfactory.”
