I can't recommend this tuition centre enough! My child has been attending for a year now and his grades have improved dramatically. The tutors are knowledgeable, patient and supportive, and my child always comes away from each lesson feeling confident and motivated.

Only leaving 1 star because 0 isn't an option. With an inside perspective, I can say with absolute confidence that this is the worst place you could possibly send your child. Parents are regularly lied to about the both the work given to the children as well as their ability. Multiple safeguarding issues have been pushed under the rug to attempt to maintain the outside image. Issues such as potential bullying and child abuse were ignored. Parents are promised that only qualified professionals will work with the children yet at the interview Sumeera said "I prefer university students" it is clear that she prefers them as she can take advantage of people in difficult financial positions while maintaining the lie that they are qualified and/or experienced. Parents are also promised that their child will never be in a class larger than 8 and will get individualized plans. This has never happened and children are regularly placed in cramped classrooms with 12+ children in there. The staff turnaround at Harringtons childcare and education center is shocking with the majority of staff not remaining more than a year. This will be due the lack of basic resources and minimal pay of £10 per hour while extorting extremely high tuition fees from parents upwards of £150+ per child per month for less than 3 hours a week. This means that children do not get a high quality education that they deserve. As the staff are unqualified and inexperienced they are not aware of even the basic methods of teaching or the curriculum children must follow to achieve acceptable grades or pass their examns. Staff are regularly mistreated and are forced to take on responsibilities that they are not compensated for the extra work they are forced to take on. The management are incredibly unprofessional and even during Covid (a pandemic) did not encourage isolation, social distancing, mask wearing or vaccinations. The environment children are kept in is frankly filthy and unhygienic with tabletops not being wiped or floors hoovered. Walls had multiple markings and tables were almost falling apart. The worst was to see that children were forced to eat in this environment and not encouraged to wash their hands or sanatise at any point.

I could go on and on about how horrific this place is but the best conclusion is pretty much whatever you do, if you care about your child (or any child) do not send them to Harringtons child care and education center Bolton.
