Informatt
Informatt Training Services have for some years been
resident at the Ringway Centre, bringing our students, tutors and
assessors to the Centre on a regular basis during term time, using the
training spaces and enjoying the outside ambiance of garden and woods.
We have built up an excellent rapport with the staff team at the Centre,
and we are always delighted with their help and support for our students
and ourselves which is unconditionally given. Students are all
studying to gain qualifications to work with children from 0 - 16 years.
Many are self-employed, or work in day nursery or school.
Not only do students gain qualifications with Informatt,
but they also grow in confidence and professionalism, using the learning
experience to foster interest in community activities, becoming teaching
assistants in local schools, school governors, 'Out of School' and
playcare leaders, childminders and 'Bunbury Childminding' co-ordinators.
Several of our ex-students have joined the company as trainers and
assessors so they can pass on their knowledge.
If you are interested in our services please contact

Keep Fit (Over 50s)
Keeping fit and active as you get older is very important.
The term use it or lose it is very true, as our muscles and bones lose
their strength as we age. Taking part in a Keep Fit class with an
experienced instructor will ensure you do the right exercises to
maintain mobility, flexibility and strength without causing injury. The
class is for all abilities, just come and have some fun whilst
strengthening your heart and lungs, muscles and bones and perhaps lose
some weight. The classes are on Monday and Friday mornings at the Ringway
Centre from ten to eleven and cost £3 a class.
Tea and coffee provided free afterwards. We look
forward to seeing you there.
Jane Cullen, Instructor.
