My granddaughter attended a 7 - 11 year old bath bomb making session today and was very nervous of going in. Honey, Chantelle and Mira spent a good 45 minutes of their time encouraging her in the kindest ways, it was way over and above what you would expect and I can only praise their patience and understanding.Posted on Google![]()

I’ve just finished my beauty course at NSHB, and I honestly can’t thank everyone enough. From the moment I started, I’ve felt so welcomed and supported. The tutors have been amazing they’re so knowledgeable, patient, and always took the time to help whenever I needed it. They’ve really helped me grow in confidence and taught me so much. I also want to give a big thank you to the office team. They’ve always been so friendly, kind, and helpful with anything I needed, whether it was answering questions, sorting paperwork, or just being there to support us would highly recommend !!Posted on Google![]()
