School in Derby

“Had Adam as my instructor for just over 6 months and was amazing in helping me to learn quickly and safely and make me feel very confident. Definitely would recommend.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! From day one, zubair (1st choice driving school ) was incredibly patient, supportive, and professional. Every lesson was structured, calm, and tailored to my pace and confidence level. They explained everything clearly and made even the most challenging manoeuvres feel manageable. Their encouragement and detailed feedback really helped me improve each week, and thanks to his excellent teaching, I passed my driving test with confidence! What I appreciated most was his genuine dedication—not just to help me pass, but to become a safe and confident driver for life. Thank you so much, zubair for your support and positivity throughout this journey. I’d highly recommend you to anyone learning to drive!”

“Absolutely fantastic swimming school! Our daughter has gained so much confidence with these lessons and she is visibly excited when we arrive at the building. I cannot recommend Sarah and her team enough - brilliant energy in the lessons and great facilities.”

“Went with my son today, really helpful friendly staff. Fantastic selection of boards and clothing. Great little skate park too. Fantastic shop and will definitely be visiting more often even though its a 50min drive away for us, it's 100% worth it.”

“Really nice local theatre. Went to see the great gatsby. There was a lot of sickness in the cast and someone stepped up to a main role in 5 hours. If they didnt announce it, you wouldn't have known. Very talented team. The theatre is modest but has everything you need.”

“My children have been attending Thornhill for over a year now and I honestly can’t talk highly enough of the setting. The nursery is a clean, open and airy setting with an incredible outside area and well laid out rooms containing perfect age appropriate toys catering to both the youngest and the oldest of the rooms. The beautiful setting aside, the staff at thornhill are truly what makes it. I was incredibly anxious to start my children at nursery… it takes me a while to warm to new settings especially trusting them with my children and honestly? I was sold the moment I had spoken to the angels as I now call them (because seriously, anyone who can make my oldest try new food and my youngest sleep is an angel). Every single member of staff is lovely, they have no issues answering any questions you may have and the love they have for your children shows when they greet them in the morning. Both my children are polar opposites so I feel it’s important to pass comment that they cater to every child’s needs. Olivia, the nursery manager is truly incredible. I have sought her advice a lot in the past 6 months and she’s always given me honest advice and opinions which is so valued because of her years of expertise. As a parent, I don’t know everything and it’s nice to get outside input from someone who has plenty of experience with all kinds of children!”

“My son absolutely loves Super Dragons! We've seen such a positive change in him since he started — his confidence is growing, his concentration has improved, and he's really learning the value of self-discipline. The instructors are fantastic and create a supportive, fun environment where kids thrive. Highly recommended!”

“I was so lucky to be a part of this dance school for a few years and I couldn't believe the standard of teaching. Everyone is so welcoming and you really do become a family. I am training professionally and I couldn't have done it without the support from the staff and especially the principle at Foot Fusion. I would recommend anyone to go to this dance school as you will have the best time surrounded by the best people!!”

“Our son has attended the Bilingual Nursery for nearly 3 years now and he absolutely loves it! The staff are all wonderful and really care about the children and their development. My son’s Spanish skills, all learnt from his time there, also continue to amaze me. I’m so glad that I chose this nursery for our son and would happily recommend it to any parents.”

“My little girl started a couple months ago. The staff have been brilliant, they have spent the time getting to know my daughter and me, couldn’t have found a better nursery for my girl . She has come on loads with her speech, singing and movement.”

“This dance school is like one big family and is a fantastic place for anyone wanting to get into dance and fitness”

“My son has been taught by Michael for a number of years now and is progressing well through the grades. Michael delivers brilliant tuition - not just in terms of his knowledge, but also his energy and enthusiasm. He clearly loves what he does for a living, and that provides for a really positive and enjoyable learning environment. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”

“Brilliant Dance school both my Daughters have gone here since they were 2 & their ability & confidence and sheer love for dance has blossomed. Achieving great results in both exams & competitions. UC is like an extended family for them & have made friends for life.”

“From the moment I first walked into Bramblebrook, I knew it was right for my daughter: calm, engaged children playing happily and a range of well-resourced activities. So it has proved: a thoughtful, varied, entirely-age-appropriate curriculum and a stable, experienced and welcoming staff team. Never mind what I think, my daughter loves it and has thrived! She thoroughly recommends.”

“Having just watched my Niece do her show,i felt i should say how fantastic it was. From everything the costumes to routines,it was amazing. I hope i am still watching her in years to come. xx”

“I love this nursery! It’s small and very friendly. The staff are lovely and know the children very well. They do some lovely activities and always let me know what my child has been doing during the day.”

“Loved my time here best time of my life”

“What a fantastic Pre-school. My little boy loves it here. Since he has started attending, his confidence, communication, social interaction has improved no end. The staff are all wonderful. His key worker Michelle is amazing- she has identified his areas of strength and areas which need further development and has helped him progress ready for starting school. Breadsall Pre school is a wonderful friendly, happy and caring environment and I’d thoroughly recommend.”

“My daughter attended busy bees heatherton from 8 months old until school age, she is now an incredibly happy , chatty child full of love ,thanks to the continued care and support she received whilst attending. I will be using them for the school holidays as she is constantly asking when she can go back and see her old key workers. I can not thank zahida shazia sanah and all of the other wonderful team members enough for the love they showed my child throughout her first years. We were very sad when it came time to join school. I would recommend heatherton to any new anxious families looking for somewhere to care for there children.”

“Had my two girls in this place for years. It's great. The staff are great - my girls love them. They talk about them when at home and love to go to nursery to see them.”

“Fantastic school - two generations of my family have been there - successful and happy children - can recommend it highly”

“My daughter has been attending here since last year, she has loved it today we enrolled her for another year. Lots of parking staff were on hand to help point people in the right direction. There is a bus every 15 minutes from Derby takes about 10 minutes.”

“Best ever school! The lessons are really cool, especially last lessons on Tuesday and Thursday with Mr. Ashraf doing creative media :D”

“I’ve been a member of this club for many years. It’s great. I love the classes, particularly Body pump, balance and combat All of the instructors are great. In fact all the staff are friendly and helpful. The changing rooms and pool area are clean and well maintained. Highly recommend”

“After being heavily involved in drama groups and small productions I came to an age where I wanted to further develop my acting and performance skills. Joining Theatre Cats straight away impacted my confidence, and self belief. Having such a variety of teaching methods helped each individual in different ways through workshops, games, improvisation, exams and full productions. Theatre Cats wasnt just a educational experince it became a big part of my life, creating life long friends and allowed me to have such a strong support network for future works. The skills and tools gained from these classes made me realise what I wanted to do with the talented I now saw I had. After recently graduating from Edgehill University with a 1st class degree in musical theatre, and writing and creating a variety of short films and a being freelance model, the possibilities for the future are so exciting. I want to thank the Theatre Cats family for helping me along the way!”
