TESTIMONIALS
Terry Gould has worked with my colleagues and myself to provide excellent learning experiences in the Early Years. He was crucial in enabling us to fully deliver the EYFS curriculum both indoors and out.
The outdoor provision particularly supported the learning of the boys in the setting.He has an excellent rapport with teachers providing practical suggestions and direction. He is most affable and approachable and I can strongly recommend his services to anyone who requires a hands on, child centred approach to delivering the EYFS curriculum. Top Qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity
Maurice Fernandes -Reception Class Teacher Teacher Manchester & Madrid
Terry has a very clear understanding of the pedagogy of early years learning and development.
He is an inspirational trainer and leader of learning. He has made a huge impact on the
practitioners and children he has worked with. He has influenced my own work, particularly in the areas of outdoor learning and the development and use of Information and Communication Technology with young children.
Julie Leach -EYFS Consultant, Stockport
On being introduced to Terry I was instantly met with his passion for Early Years, combined
with extensive knowledge on the sector and practical ideas, and for that reason we got on like a house on fire! The Kids Unlimited Nurseries in which Terry carried out his work were delighted to have his support and were extremely receptive to his energy and application of theory into
practice.

Terry is passionate about developing quality provision for children. Inspirational and motivational are words I would use to describe Terry. He really does go the extra mile.
Sarah Murray -EYFS Strategic Lead,Manchester City Council
Terry has worked closely with all of our EYFS team this year, supporting every aspect of their
work. The results have been outstanding and we are now justifiably proud that we have some
of the best EYFS provision in the city. He communicates well at all levels, is full of good ideas,really understands what is good practice and knows how to motivate practitioners to give of their best.
Jane Gornell -Head teacher ,Old Hall Drive Primary School
Terry is without doubt one of the most inspirational people in Early Years. In particular his
passion for understanding how young children can engage with technology has led to more staff in settings finding ever more creative ways to engage children in learning. The result ... more young children than Terry can ever know will have benefited from his training and consultancy.
His humour, insight and easy manner always help people feel they have come away with
something a bit 'extra' once they've spent time with him. One of the few people I always look forward to having time with.

Rhiannon Egerton Director - Etch Training Provider London
Thank you for a wonderful day at Chancellors on your EYFS outdoor learning course. We really did get a lot from it. The work has begun on our outdoor area, which should have been increased over the holidays giving us a lot more useable space. We have enough funding left to put in a bike track and fit an interactive whiteboard in the Nursery but will have to apply for more money to further improve the outdoors. However, after being on your course, we have lots of ideas on how to improve the children’s learning outdoors which we can implement fairly cheaply and almost instantly.
