on assessment....you’ll find us outstanding

We hold a direct contract with the Skills Funding Agency, giving us guaranteed access to funding for apprenticeships.  We can deliver most training either absolutely free, or at highhly subsidised rates. 

All our early years assessors have practical experience of working in settings as well as assessing. The owner/directors, Ross and Alison Midgley, previously set up and managed a chain of three day nurseries which each achieved outstanding Ofsted results. Their investment in training and development for over 75 staff during that period resulted in a deep understanding of what a good training provider must do to succeed. We believe this experience and insight, matched by the pioneering adoption of e-portfolios, make PBD unique in the sector.

We have delivered level 2 and 3 qualifications to many hundreds of learners. Our clients range from village playgroups to major national chains and Sure Start centres. Employers often comment on our professionalism, flexibility and good communication, which set us apart from many other training providers.
