“Great experience with The Dental Suite. They were super responsive over email before my appointment and gave me loads of tailored info, so I felt really informed before even going in. I spoke with Krystian about composite bonding and there was zero pressure or obligation. He made everything so easy to understand. Perfect if you’re just starting your smile journey – would highly recommend!”

“Excellent service. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The dentist explained everything and gave advice at the end of consultation. The reception area is quite relaxing and pleasantly decorated adding to a welcoming environment. So pleased I changed to this practice some years ago, definitely the best place I've been to.”

“Just driving through as I was only dropping off at the university. But, it looks great, lots of buildings, people, and atmosphere.”

“Very lovely place, great ambience and accessible doors.”

“We viewed lots of nurserys throughout Leicestershire before selecting this one. It's THAT good. Some of the reasons we love it are... They make a huge effort to be kind to the environment by using wooden toys and teaching children how to look after flora and fauna. They even make their own play dough! The building is large and the gardens have beautiful established trees for summer shade. The kids even nap outside in the summer, it's the cutest thing to see. They make great use of the uni facilities; taking the kids out to see the fountain, fruit trees and basketball pitches. And because the campus has lecturers from other countries, there's babies from other countries. They all celebrate all the different cultures with joy and pride! The carers rejoice in the kids' achievements as much as the parents do. It's so heartwarming to read the updates on the app. For us, we were also impressed with the number of males in care roles, which is a rare thing to find, but establishes healthy gender norms from a young age. The menu is spot on. Great quality diverse food. And meal times are structured so that kids can learn to be independent and varied eaters. Our son certainly has a rich and fulfilling time there and they definitely offer him a wider variety of activities than we would at home. Overall the atmosphere and culture is uncomparible; in our search for the right nursery, nothing came close to this. And finally, it's right next to a coffee shop that sells great coffee so I order and pay for my latte, nip next door to drop my son off, then nip back to collect my coffee. It's heaven!”

“My daughter Skye has been dancing at the Loughborough Academy of dance since she was 2.5 years old. She is now 13 years old and has had the opportunity to dance at disneyland paris, London, Blackpool, Drayton Manor, town centre, stock port and various other places. She also does lots of dance festivals in Ibstock, Leicester area. Highly recommend. All the dance teachers commit a lot of their own personal time of which me and my daughter are very grateful of. The passion shown from the school shines through my daughter's dancing. The dance family also put on fun events for the children and families to enjoy for all their hard work.”

“The Best College and, in my view, the only college to go to in the UK. Formally known as RNIB Vocational College, it is renowned for its unique work with Visually Impaired adults. I would give this College 5 Stars immediately, and I should know, I went there. It's a wonderful place and the tutors were wonderful to me with my various stays there. I was even their Telephone and reception Operator. Does anyone remember me at the College? At the time, it was a residential College, in conjunction with Loughborough University. I wonder if these two people are still at the College? Lou and Paul Cardwell. Does anyone remember the Mayor's Parade which I organised, back in the 90s? The infamous Bed Push, dressed as Doctors and Nurses? Eddie, Helping us out with the drinks along the way. The place brings happy memories to me, workwise and recreational times. Say hello if you are still there. I know that some of the tutors have passed away. I would like to know if Mr Jackman, the Principal, at the time I was there. All in all, a superb place to train in, whatever course you wanted. With Very Best Wishes from Nigel in Stourport, Worcestershire.”

“Good quality products. dog friendly. The staff are amazing very helpful and friendly with smiles.”

“Amazing experience at Lough college, great teachers who helped me get great results! Highly recommend!”

“Excellent facilities, excellent instruction from the class lead and a professional team approach. Our toddler has fun and as parents we think the level of learning and support has always been appropriate to our child's needs and level of understanding. This is our second time with water babies so it's a true testament to how good the team are! Thank you all!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Nursery Ever! If you're looking for a nursery that feels like a magical wonderland run by superheroes in disguise, look no further than Watermead! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a team of warm, energetic staff who somehow have the patience of saints and the energy of toddlers (seriously, what’s their secret?). The place is spotless—probably cleaner than my own house—and filled with more toys and learning activities than a kid could ever dream of. My child has come home singing new songs, counting to ten, and, most importantly, exhausted from a full day of fun (which means an early bedtime for me—win!). The staff treat every child like their own, and I swear they must have degrees in magic. The forest school is a kid’s paradise, enough space for tiny feet to run wild without me worrying about injuries. All in all, I’d rate this nursery ten out of five stars if I could. Highly recommended—just don’t be surprised if your child refuses to leave at pickup time! Forest School Review: Mud, Mayhem, and Surprisingly Deep Life Lessons If you like the idea of your child turning into a feral woodland creature, Forest School might be for you. It’s basically school, but instead of desks and whiteboards, there are trees, mud, and the occasional child getting way too excited about fire. They learn actual survival skills. Your kid might come home knowing how to build a shelter, start a fire, or fashion a spoon out of a stick. If the apocalypse hits, they’ll be way more useful than you. No homework. The only assignments are “don’t get lost” and “try not to eat unidentified berries.” It’s nature’s playground. Sticks become swords, logs become balance beams, and every puddle is an opportunity. (Mostly an opportunity to get soaking wet.) They get tough. Falling over? Part of the learning process. Rain? No problem. Cold? Layer up and keep going. They come home filthy. Mud, grass stains, the faint smell of smoke—your washing machine will work harder than it ever has. They think they’re Bear Grylls. Expect enthusiastic lessons on the real way to start a fire and why “the best water filter is a moss-covered rock” (it’s not). Weather doesn’t stop them. Raining? Perfect. Snowing? Even better. Parents, however, may not feel the same enthusiasm when standing around in 3°C drizzle for pickup. Sticks. Everywhere. Your house will slowly fill with “really special” sticks, leaves, and occasionally a pet worm they tried to smuggle in. Forest School is a chaotic, muddy, wild adventure that kids love and parents tolerate. It’s a perfect blend of learning, independence, and coming home looking like they just survived a minor natural disaster. Would highly recommend—just invest in a sturdy washing machine. Even my older children are jealous that they never had the opportunity to attend Watermead when they we’re younger..... Ps: The staff deserve a pay rise!!!”

“Wide choice of art, selection was easy with much flexibility. All arrived on time and ready to hang.”

“Large Campus. Many sport fields. Nice admin personnel. Rowdy students :-)”

“Formerly the flagship of British gas research centre and built by them in the early 90's now owned by Loughborough university with much the same usage R&D Technology, the site building built to the highest standards!”

“Loughborough Theatretrain has given me so much everyone is friends with everyone and none judges you and you gain so much experience.”

“Nigel Farmer is excellent. I got referred to him by another therapist and I'm really glad I did. Nigel tries hard to make himself as available as possible, I sent him an email and received a phone call very quickly the same day. Even by phone call he is very reassuring and goes the extra mile to make you feel secure and within safe hands -something that means a lot to certain people. Nigel has honestly changed my present and my future too, I had a really rubbish impression of counsellors and therapy before him, but Nigel changed that! EMDR is a really tough experience, but in the right hands, it's worth it. I've had sessions with Nigel for 8-9 months, on/off. He's there when you need it, but also very understanding if you want some time off. He makes you feel like the therapy is all about YOU, your development, not his business. 10/10.”
