The amazing Team Panoba!

Debbie and Nicky, and their wider Team Panoba, have been a constant source of support to me and my school. They have diligently helped to facilitate placements for my Nigerian and West African students into UK boarding schools. They maintain their caring support and empathetic supervision of these learners well beyond these initial placements. They have also provided various outstanding intetnational and study excursion opportunities to my students. They are warm, friendly, personable and genuine. I am blessed to have had their fullsone support over the last two sad a half years. SBSS Principal.

We are extremely grateful to Panoba for their excellent support and guidance throughout our daughter’s school admission process in the UK. From the very beginning, the team was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in her success.

Debbie provided clear advice, handled every step efficiently, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, our daughter secured admission to a school that is a perfect fit for her.

We highly recommend Panoba to parents looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy assistance with UK school placements.

Excellent work!

From initial contact with Panoba, to my daughter getting started at her new school, I had immense support, guidance and encouragement from Debbie. She was never tired of my queries and did her best to reassure me.
Debbie also referred me to a contact who helped with our visa application process.
I’m super grateful and impressed at the level of professionalism and compassion exhibited throughout the process.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

It was wonderful to work with Panoba

It was wonderful to work with Panoba. The team swung into action to ensure that my daughter got a place in college. Their engagement involved travelling to see some schools and many consultations also. Debbie was concerned initially and was forthright on our chances because we had started the search pretty late. Happy to say that my daughter got offers from a few colleges and we are very pleased she got into a top college. Panoba was helpful and efficient, we had a lot of information at our disposal and had no doubt from our first meeting we were talking with a professional and knowledgeable team. Thank you so much. We have spread the word about Panoba also.

My fantastic exprience with Panoba services delivered by Debbie.

My exprience with Panoba services was excellent. It came to my rescue when searching for an excellent boarding school at affordable price for my daughter. Debbie was excellent and professional and knows the job well. She is soft and reassuring all the way through with good communication skills. She was committed until my daughter found a school , did her visa and arrived at her school I will definitely recommend panoba services to anyone in need. Thank you Debbie and keep the good job.🤝

Panoba provided an exceptional service!
Nicky and Debbie’s passion and commitment for what they do was evident with every interaction I had with them.

They were professional and extremely effective in their communication with me as we embarked upon finding the right school ‘A’levels school for my son.

They ensured that my son was placed in a school where he would also flourish emotionally, mentally, spiritually and socially which was very important to us.

I am satisfied with the service provided by Panoba and would gladly recommend them.

Fantastic experience with Panoba!

The team at Panoba literally held our hands through out the school search process. They met with our family and even helped source additional holiday programmes that were specifically tailored to my son's areas of interest.

The applications and interviews were seamless, and we are now at our #1 choice college. Thank you so much Debbie and Nicky!

Panoba parent Feedback

The introduction initially to Debbie came from a mutual friend and post a couple of calls I had a face to face with my child / Debbie and Nicky - the Panoba team.

As a family we did not know the UK school landscape, we were also working to a short time frame.

They engaged with the family to really understand us as personalities most importantly spent time with my son to really understand what he would like / what makes him tick.

The brief was clear but very wide - sport, education boarding / non boarding options.

The almost immediate follow up gave a list of schools that could fit.

But this was not just a list, they brought each school to life for my child allowing us to really go through and review options / visits.

Through out the process they listened / advised and gave lived pupil examples which added real colour.

The outcome is a happy child that is challenged and thriving.

Both Debbie and Nicky are warm, highly intelligent and experienced professionals.

Their knowledge is impressive. They are direct and clear with all communication and advice.

When we engaged with the school we could also tell how highly regarded they are.

Finally, when visiting the school recently as part of their diligence they popped in and said hello to my son which demonstrates their comient to clients - it’s a true partnership approach.

In summary the Panoba team is;

Highly experienced
Client focused
Solution Based
They really care

Thanks

Best School Consultant

Debbie is an angel sent from God. She worked tirelessly and with such short notice to find not only a good school but a top school for my child. Debbie ensured that the school placement fitted my child's needs and not my desire and I am happy to say we are thriving in our school. Thank you Panoba you guys are simply the best

Panoba were so professional and honest

Panoba were so professional and honest. They guided but allowed you to take the final decision.
They listened and provided suitable schools for our children. Where we went outside our defined preference, they were subtle in reminding us.
I will recommend them to parents.
Thank you Debbie.

A perfect experience

Right from the very first day,I felt the ease and comfort that we were in the right hands,communication was a priority and information was easily discussed! The attention to details in information was there and the best choices was made easy. I appreciate all the efforts the company puts in finding suitable schools for our children and not just any school,taking into consideration the child's Academic and social intrest.

Excellent PANOBA

Excellent PANOBA!
My daughter’s friends have gotten their schools, Visas and were shopping for school when I contacted PANOBA to get a school for my daughter. I was confident because I knew what they did for my son Khalifa. I wasn’t disappointed. Though late, my daughter got an excellent school through PANOBA. I am so glad I sought the services. I will surely recommend it and give it a 5*
