• 5/5 from Lindsey Raymond, attended Jul 2026: I was most fortunate to have 121 tutoring during my course. Sophie was amazing. She was so patient and supportive whilst I got my groove, it took a bit of time! But they she went on to show me different stitches and gave me great feedback on my work. Very happy. Thank you Sophie
• 5/5 from Kath Cerillo, attended May 2026: A very enjoyable course. Sophie was very patient and explained everything really well. Lovely to have a chat while we crocheted. Thank you
• 5/5 from Laura Grandidge, attended Apr 2026: Our crocheting teacher was so calm and relaxed. We had a good laugh, learnt some new stuff and didn't feel silly when we got in a pickle. She did a great job, helping when we needed without being intimidating while she let us try.
• 5/5 from Coral Campion, attended Apr 2026: It was a really enjoyable experience! Our teacher was friendly, encouraging and very patient. The whole booking experience was easy and I received timely reminders about the class. It was nice that there were only 4 of us on the class so we could get individual attention.
• 5/5 from Janet Guilford, attended Mar 2026: Sophie very patient and helpful in explaining and demonstrating. An enjoyable session. The right number of people in the group.
• 3/5 from Ruth Grant, attended Feb 2026: Really good value for money, small group and Sophie our teacher was lovely
• 5/5 from Imogen Wells, attended Jan 2026: Sophie at Thurmaston was really lovely, she was patient with us and didn't rush us at all, we had a great time. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Alison Smith, attended Dec 2025: Really good class, the tutor was excellent and I learnt a lot
• 5/5 from Marjorie Allen-Carter, attended Nov 2025: Chloe was very knowledgeable on her crochet stitch and as I was a beginner was able to show me the basic steps and I was able to crochet a small square in double stitch and then in triple stitch it was a friendly class and I enjoyed myself and will be booking myself on for a more advanced lesson
• 5/5 from Shamim Ismail, attended Oct 2025: I had a really good experience today as a beginner learning crochet. My teacher gave clear instructions and modelled how to do each step. I am looking forward to practising what I have learnt today. Thank you.
• 5/5 from Sal Watson, attended Aug 2025: My daughter aged 12 joined the class with her friend and really enjoyed it. They’ve been doing lots of crochet!
• 5/5 from Beverley Davies, attended Jul 2025: What a Joy. I have tried to learn before, but found it difficult as I am left handed. But this time with Chloe I was able to undertake double and triple crochet stitches. Once I have continued to practice, I will definitely go back for another session and learn how to do a granny square.
• 5/5 from Rose Forman, attended Apr 2025: Had a lovely time at the beginners crochet class, the teacher was very helpful and knowledgeable and guided us through 2 different stitches and how to start and end. I think it created a good foundation for learning to crochet.
• 5/5 from Alison Powell, attended Mar 2025: Chloe was very helpful and I came away feeling far more confident of the basic stitches. Suggestions for improvement? The session could do with being a little longer so that you get more time to practice your newly acquired skills with some support. I would also like to see a 'make a project' session - I know you do these as online courses but I would much prefer face to face - something like making one of those small animal kits would be perfect rather than (yawn) granny squares.
• 5/5 from Charlaine Jones, attended Mar 2025: An amazing teacher and very patient with complete beginners. I would definitely recommend this class and I’d even do another one myself to get the hand of it better.
• 5/5 from Amanda Garner, attended Jan 2025: I brought this for a Christmas present for my son who wanted to learn to crochet. We both really enjoyed being able to do it together as well. Our teacher is called Chloe and she was so friendly and explained things very clearly. Looking forward to going on the more advanced one so that we can advance.
• 5/5 from Jessica Yeung, attended Jan 2025: Love the class. Jane was so patient and helpful with the total beginners.
• 5/5 from Prabhleen, attended Jan 2025: I wanted to learn the basics and Chloe was an amazing teacher! Very patient and skillful. To help me I was given yarn, a guide booklet and a crochet hook. I enjoyed that the class didn't feel rushed and if I wanted to learn something specific, Chloe helped guide me. Thank you so much x

• 5/5 from Vicki Anne Sergent, attended Jul 2024: I arrived late, however Heather soon got me started, the setting was nice and calm.
