Enrichment activities in Leicester

“I have two children studying at LIA (class 6 and foundation 1 ) ; I am very happy with their growth within the school ,the teachers are very friendly and willing to help and whenever we had special requests or problems , they were very transparent and searched for solutions; I must mention that we came from Bangladesh last year;my elder son studied under a totally different style and curriculum and he was supposed to be class 3 abroad; he was behind the class at the beginning of year 5 and gradually became one of the best; his teacher ,Mrs Abraham, is truly one of the best teachers my son has ever had and she helped my son understand concepts that he has missed during this change in learning systems; even if the ofsted report wasn't favourable, my children are doing well,I do hope the school will be able to fulfill ofsted criteria soon”

“Amazing place; my kid loved it. The venue has arcades and various other games for children. An impressive fact about this place is that it features a go-kart track and a mini football pitch in the play area. Overall, the place is fantastic.”

“Fantastic nursery bright clean and welcoming to all. Nothing is a problem very helpful and accommodating staff. Small carpark so able to drop children off safely food alway smells wonderful as all freshly cooked. Thank you”

“My son can't wait to go to school everyday- what more can a parent ask for!”

“I cannot recommend Hopes High Day Nursery School enough! From the very first day my daughter started attending, I have been incredibly impressed with the level of care, attention, and education provided. The staff are truly exceptional—warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and happiness. They take the time to understand every child’s needs, ensuring that they feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. My daughter absolutely loves and happy with her teachers. One of the things I appreciate the most is the regular updates from the school. They keep parents well-informed about their child’s progress, daily activities, and any important events. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my daughter is in such capable hands. Hopes High Day Nursery School is more than just a nursery—it’s a place where children thrive, grow, and develop a love for learning. I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience my daughter is having, and I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and high-quality early education setting.”

“A very interesting museum. One of the best and I've seen a lot in my life. I really wish I could come back and visit it again.”

“Great Community facility at the heart of Grange Park serving the local area. Various room sizes for large or small size meetings and groups and a kitchen available and level access from the car park and through out. Friendly atmosphere, great groups throughout the week including family friendly church service each Sunday”

“My daughter has just finished with Little Rascals to start school. She's been with them since she was 8 months old and I couldn't rate them higher! The staff are all so warm, understanding and welcoming, they'll do their best to work with you for what is best for your child. The games they play with them develop their brains and confidence so much and the children just think they're playing! They're so creative with how they get the children to learn and eventually get them ready for school. We were with them through Covid and they worked so hard to keep everyone safe, it was a really tough time for us all but we felt so supported with the staff there. They allowed my daughter to be herself and helped shape her into the (pretty amazing!) girl she is today. She loves outdoor play and the facilities they have there allow her to explore the world safely. We love this nursery so much that our baby is due to start with them next month!”

“Pretty cool school! Loved the times there!”

“My review for hine park nursery, Hine park is a lovely little nursery, my son has now been there almost 2 months and I am really really impressed, I know I made the right decision sending him there. The whole process of him settling in, the communication with myself, the foremost best interest for the children is really phenomenal. Every child matters in there, and is child centred, from tapestry been updated for daily activities and progress as well as oral feedback on how the child has spent the day. I have no negatives at all . This is a brilliant nursery and I will be keeping my son there as long as I can not only can I feel his boost in development but also his confidence, social interaction with children and also implemented a good routine at home. I would highly recommend this nursery they have the best staff, manager and foremost there best interest is child focussed. Thank you hine park nursery”

“A great open hall that is great for a party, meeting, dance class, comedy nights etc. The bar is run by the rugby club and has a great atmosphere when the game has finished and the lads come in for a drink and the drinks are not to expensive.”

“Very nice place to visit with too many activities to list here. I'm particularly eager to use the gym they have there, as the prices are much better than my current one.”

“I have cousins who started at Kestrals when it first opened and now my own children and nephews attend Kestrals. I can see the school has gone from strength too strength with the introduction of the new head Mrs Simpson I feel so engaged with the school and find the communication relevant and current. Both sites work very well together having the different start and end times to the day making it easy for me to drop my children and nephew off at the different sites and preparing them for secondary school by moving on. I have also recently attended the maths workshop for parents to see what my son is doing and found it very beneficial for me to relate to his daily maths lesson. I enjoy dropping the children off at school and being able to have a few minutes with the Miss Bhayani if I need and who is always at the door greeting children and parents as they come in. My children really enjoy being at Kestrals and come home to discuss how much they have enjoyed the day and what they have achieved by way of Class Dojo points and why. Keep up the good work.”

“Moat is a good school, the staff work very hard to help every child reach their best potential. Looking back, sometimes it seemed like the rules were petty and the punishments heavy handed, but maybe kids need that. It did no harm. I appreciate the staff's efforts on behalf of my son, am pleased with how he turned out, and he enjoyed his time there.”

“Our children have had a fantastic experience of being at Woodlands. The staff are great and have provided a space for our children to develop ready for school. The outdoor space and forest school are also fantastic and a big hit with the children too.”

“Emily sabin:it's a great school I had been there is enjoyed every day of being there”

“All the staff at kidaroo are amazing. They always accommodate where needed. During covid they had all restrictions in place which made me feel safe taking my daughter to their setting. I have recommended friends with little ones and will continue to do so. Keep up the good work your all amazing :)”
