Danny successfully completed a two-year Diploma in Nursery Nursing at London's City and Islington College in July 1998. According to the college's head of childcare and education, Nicky Price, the characteristics which have helped make him top of the pops were already plain for all to see.

Danny successfully completed a two-year Diploma in Nursery Nursing at London's City and Islington College in July 1998. According to the college's head of childcare and education, Nicky Price, the characteristics which have helped make him top of the pops were already plain for all to see.

'Danny was a really able student, with plenty of merits and distinctions,' she said. 'He was very focused and determined and it was clear that he would go far. Danny was very kind, caring and sociable - a calm and sensitive student and a good team member. He got on well with teachers and students alike and was supportive of other students on the course. During his time at college, Danny completed a range of placements working with babies and children in nurseries, and in nursery and infant classes. He worked well with children of all abilities, and especially enjoyed working with children with special needs.
