What early testers said
Feedback from people who tried the Childminder Path assessment and personalised plan.
“The assessment was simple and easy to understand. The personalised action plan was useful because it clearly showed what I had completed and what I still needed to do.”
The questionnaire was straightforward and the results felt relevant to my answers. I would find it useful to save my progress and update the plan as I complete each item.
