The 30 Best School in Bradford

“Our daughter attends Acorns and we couldn’t recommend them enough. All the staff are simply wonderful. They demonstrate a genuine passion for early childhood education and take the time to understand each child’s unique needs. Their nurturing approach, patience, and creativity in engaging the children has made a significant impact on my daughter’s development. I have seen her grow in confidence, social skills, and a love for learning during her time at the nursery.”

“My daughters been having drumming lessons for 2 years & loves coming here. Really nice place & all the staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.”

“My child has had lessons with Scott since he was 3 years old after finding an interest in drumming and music. Scott is very kind and patient with him and always makes him laugh. He has taught my child how to drum in time at the young age of 4 and he can follow simple beats and always remains enthusiastic at every lesson. Scott teaches a variety of drumming techniques and also the djembe. Scott also hand writes sheets to practice at home to keep drumming in the forefront of his mind and so it stays fun. He is very good with children and I would recommend him if your child shows an interest in music. Having children of his own really shows as he is fun, kind and friendly. Scott is also a very experienced drummer and he can really really drum!!”

“I have had the pleasure of watching Claire Marie teach now for a couple of years. She's amazing with the children her patience to help them learn and progress in dance is unmeasured. She makes sure that any child under her instruction meets their full potential and grows in confidence doing something that they love.”

“Stage 84 have been supportive and understanding of my son and his needs from when we first enrolled him into the school. My son loves his Drama lessons and his skills and confidence have improved so much, Drama has given him experiences and opportunities that have made such a difference to his self worth and self esteem. Both Craig and Becky are so experienced and such caring teachers- the lessons are structured but are fun and they bring so much to the students that attend the sessions.”

“This theatre school is a lovely family feel. I’ve seen Miss Sara reach over many years. Sara is creative, imaginative and sprinkles magic. The children I’ve seen attend have always enjoyed the classes. My youngest now attends ballet and tap with Miss Lynn and looks forward to it every Saturday. Making friendships also comes with the excellent dance tutition children and adults receive. Xx”

“I couldn't recommend this theatre school highly enough. From the initial contact with them, they have been an absolute pleasure. The staff at Basics is professional, kind and super supportive. The performances they produce are outstanding and they truly empower their students to flourish. Thank you Basics for being awesome, can't wait to see what comes next :-) If you are looking for a theatre school for your child, whether they are new to theatre or already experienced, look no further!”

“The lessons, tutored by an amazing teacher, had a transformative impact on my children. With strong leadership and clear guidance, the teacher provided a great pathway to success. Their approach completely changed how my children engaged with their learning, resulting in much higher achievement. They have been a truly inspiring role model. I would definitely recommend them. The staff are very professional, yet personable, creating a supportive and encouraging environment.”

“My 6 year old started swimming lessons almost 2 years ago and after 3 changes of provision I had almost given up. Greaves Swim School was recommended by several other parents of children in my son's class. I signed him up 2 months ago and I am utterly astounded at the progress he has made in this short time. Michael is a great teacher, the sessions are challenging, clearly show progression and are still fun. It's obvious he has lots of experience teaching and understands how to engage children, including adapting his approach for the individual. I have gone from having a child who cried when I mentioned swimming lessons, to a child who actually looks forward to them. I can highly recommend.”

“I take my daughter to the Stay & Play sessions, a playgroup, and she absolutely loves it. They have it going through school holidays as well which is awesome. The staff are always so lovely and on top of everything. (Mariyam & Juri, your efforts and warm attitude towards everyone doesnt go unnoticed!!) They have always got something new going on, be it the provisions during the sessions or events going on within the nursery. They've recently had artists, a mini farm and lots more held at the nursery. Genuinely impressive. And that big garden/play area is soooo nice. Highly recommend.”

“I had my daughter’s 7th birthday party here. She and all her friends had the most wonderful time! Many parents commented on how great the party was. The event was well organised and children were kept entertained throughout the full session with foam blast, dance competitions, pass the parcel, games and even a mascot appearance!”

“Couldn’t recommend Katie’s Kinder Care enough! My little Harry comes home in the best mood during the school holidays when he has spent the day at Holiday Club. Impressed with the security, and overall welcoming atmosphere! Thank you for doing such a brilliant job, coming home from work to a happy son is after his day is priceless! Michelle Hanson”

“The teachers at KPSD work so hard in class and behind the scenes. All their hard work is for the benefit of the dancers and the benefits of dance are huge that can serve all later on in life whether they choose to continue with dance as a profession or just for enjoyment.”

“My daughter has just done her second show at Miss Stacey’s and loved every second of it! She was bursting with excitement and we as parents were so proud seeing our little girl on stage,she was in her element and was lovely to see her so confident,that’s a credit to Miss Stacey’s school of dance where for the last 2 years has developed in confidence and made many lovely friends. She would be there every day if she could and is looking forward to starting cheerleading in September aswel as attending the summer dance camps.Thank you to all the staff and the girls who are there supporting them through :) you’re all amazing!!”

“Full five stars from me if I would give more I definitely would, my little boy has started in the baby room he is 6 months and he absolutely loves it. He has settled in so well, he loves all the staff in the nursery as I was worried he wouldn’t bond with anyone as he only wants me at home, The nursery is clean and well looked after the food that is offered to him is from a range of different cultures and part of a healthy diet. All the staff are so kind and friendly and the management are amazing, they Always answer any questions that I have and listen to anything I have to say. I would definitely recommend this nursery. Thank you so much tiny tree staff you’re all wonderful xx”

“I have danced with Spotlight officially since I was around 4 years old, up until I was 17 and have so many fond memories basically growing up with this dance school. Gill and Amy's teaching over the years has continued to be so valuable in allowing me to compete nationally at a University standard and I think it is a testament to the dance school that so many ex-pupils continue to keep in touch and frequently return. I have been able to dance in some fantastic places thanks to Spotlight, including the Alhambra Theatre and Sadler's Wells Theatre in London. It has always been a friendly and happy environment and I am grateful for all of the opportunities Spotlight gave me during my time there.”

“Great place, nice presentation of the historic growth of Bradford and the way the industrial revolution helped it to develop and be what it is now. Unfortunately I guess there was no plan how to continue keeping their production and the outcome of that is evident in the way the city is now. Is there a chance for that to be redeveloped or create a new products that will bring life back here again.”

“Brilliant nursery, friendly staff, my child is super happy here throughout the day with the variety of activities they have on offer. I would highly reccomend.”

“Cinderella.. Brilliant and funny. The Bradford play house is a good. well done everyone that was in the show.”

“I have two children at the school. One in primary and the other at the nursery and I could not have chosen a better school for them. My children have learnt so much and come so far thanks to the great teachers they have! The nursery staff have been amazing! My son settled in very well and they have helped him progress so much and he absolutely loves going there! A very friendly and welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend the nursery and the school to others!”

“Best swimming lessons that we've tried around the Halifax area, and we've tried quite a few. Instructors in the pool all the time. If you go at busy times it feels quite small, but the standard of tuition outweighs this inconvenience for me. My daughter has made a lot of progress since coming here, thanks to the professional staff.”

“We had to cancel my partners first lesson very last minute. Admittedly I failed to inform them sooner and so I offered to pay any monies due, Nichole politely refused my offer and give her well wishes. I hope we can re-arrange in the future. What a lovely establishment this place is. Real nice people.”

“Branch of Bradford University education centre.”

“Train here every week with BDFC for my 2 autistic children and is a fantastic hall for them to play in and their 3G pitches are well maintained and clean fantastic training facilities”

“LISTEN DO NOT DIS THIS SCHOOL THIS IS AN AMAZING SCHOOL I WENT HERE AND SO DID MY SISTER WE BOTH LOVED IT THERE AND WE STILL REMEMBER THE TEACHERS LIKE WE MET THEM YESTERDAY ESPECIALLY MISS WHITAKER AND MISS MCARTEN”

“Great nursery, my kids always have a smile when they’re on the way in and out. Flexible opening hours also helps, main thing is the safety and I feel very safe leaving my kids here. The staff are very welcoming which is also a bonus.”

“I GO TO BYRON AND IT IS AWESOME. IT IS VERY FUN AND THE TEACHERS ARE VERY KIND.”

“I have been here for the 11+ and the test was amazing can’t wait to get the results And my sister came and she said it was amazing I love walking to here for no reason then run down to manor heath park 5/5”

“All of my children have attended this school over the years. It is a church school with great teachers and education.”
