Active learning environment in London

“My favorite part of visiting London is attending Mestre Bombril’s capoeira class. Mestre Bombril and his team create an incredibly dynamic, challenging, and welcoming environment that makes every session wonderful. I’ve trained in many capoeira classes—from Salvador, Bahia (my hometown) to the US, Canada, and beyond—and this is by far one of my favorites. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the energy and spirit of capoeira!”

“Our daughter dances at Caterham Dance School with Clara and Damian and their reputation for excellence is very well-deserved. From trying out a cha cha in the children's beginner class, through to competing in juvenile ballroom and latin competitions, they have been really supportive at every step - tailoring teaching and advice on technique to her abilities as they develop, and continuing to inspire her love of dance!”

“Both my daughters have been taken classes with Dakodas and love them! Acro in particular is an amazing mix of dance and gymnastics. But the overall highlight is the end of year show, a huge production and a big treat for parents and kids alike!”

“It was a pleasure to have met Stefan. We highly appreciated Stefan’s talent, dedication and passion towards dance and sharing the joy of dancing with others. We were looking for a wedding first dance pack and were really lucky to get the flexibility of fitting the lessons in our busy diary. We were made to feel very comfortable and confident which is not always simple when you are new to the spotlight. Stefan’s friendly attitude made the learning experience fun and motivated us through the course, as well as he ensured the choreography was tailored to our personality. Would definitely recommend Stefan to any couple preparing for the special weeding dance or anyone looking to improve their dancing skills. Stefan, thank you for everything!”

“Charlie is an absolute star! We are a care home and all the residents love their workouts with Charlie! Cant recommend The Blair Academy enough.”

“Both our daughters have attended Shimmi Shakes for over six months now. The provision for ballet and tap dance is so impressive, and the girls look forward to the Saturday morning sessions every week. The team are wonderful and there is an amazing sense of community, with exams organised, and trips to the West End to see professional theatre as well. We couldn't be happier.”

“The Razz team make sure that all children are included, valued and happy, they provide children with the opportunity to performe in a wide range of varied places ie Shaftsbury avenue, Queens theatre, amazing marquee at Barleylands, shopping centres, festivals etc.”

“Achieve Arts are amazing! My both daughters have been going for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. All the teachers and the Leadership team are absolutely lovely, and you can see how much care and thought they put in the curriculum so that the children can develop their skills, confidence and have fun at the same time. And you should see their annual shows, it's West End quality!”

“My experience at City College Stratford was challenging at first, encountering people with different accents, but as we progressed in our classes and with the help of the tutors, what was difficult became easy. I have achieved one of the goals I set for myself upon arriving in this country, which is to work in the field I love and to do a good job with complete confidence. Thank you, City College Stratford.”

“Learnt about this nursery by chance in the internet, and I couldn't feel happier of having done so. Despite that my daughter's mother tongue wasn't English, it was admirable to see how well she adapted, since the very first day! All thanks to the excellent team of professionals at Bees Knees, they've supported us whenever we've needed them. I absolutely recommend this nursery.”

“Top nursery. The staff and in particular, the management are amazing. So patient with the children and my son settled in really quickly. Highly recommend!”

“We’ve been coming to baby sensory classes with Alex for 7 months and we absolutely love them! The classes have lovely creative elements that keep the babies entertained. It’s also nice to take a break from having to entertain your baby yourself and meet other mums.”

“My daughter has thrived at Playdays since day one. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, making her feel right at home. The admin team are also fantastic, always helpful and supportive. I'm so grateful for the nurturing environment they've provided.”

“I would 100% recommend Noah's Ark Day Nursery. My son started the nursery at 9 months and recently left for primary school, but he loved attending full-time. The staff are amazing and treat the kids really well there. There was a real family feel and I never felt concerned when leaving my child; I knew he was in good hands and we'll taken care of. The nursery is small and the kids get the attention they need to thrive.”

“Our two sons are currently attending Playdays, in the baby room and in the preschool room. We are extremely happy with the nursery. The staff is very kind and caring and most of them have been around for many years which is great as a lot of nurseries nearby have a high staff turnover. The nursery is very well managed by Miss Kerry and everything runs smoothly. The children have the opportunity to do lots of activities (baby yoga, dance, french, swimming...) as well as regular trips to the park. We would 100% recommend this nursery to parents.”

“Our son has been at Home from Home for a year now, and we’ve been really happy with the care and support he’s received. He’s developed such a lovely bond with the staff, who are always nurturing and genuinely care about him and all the children in their care. Since joining, we’ve seen him grow so much in confidence, which is a real testament to the warm and encouraging environment the team creates. The staff are always coming up with creative, engaging activities, and we love that the children are regularly out and about in the community. Imagination, fun, and kindness are clearly at the heart of everything they do, and we’re so grateful to everyone at Home from Home for helping our son thrive.”

“Both of my children attend this nursery. One started at 10 months old and one at 2 years old. The staff are absolutely amazing with both of them. I can truly say I have so much faith in all of the staff and the nursery itself! I even leave my children there beyond there normal hours and the nursery are happy to work around my work schedule. My children love the nursery and have made so much progress. This nursery has been a god sent to me - really amazing work guys! Thank you Magicwords Nursery!”

“Two of my children have attended this nursery and both absolutely loved their experiences. Both developed strong bonds with the staff and my daughter currently attending just adores them and they have been a brilliant support in her care and development since she was 9 months old. Now that they have moved to a new premises the setting itself cannot be faulted, they have beautiful classrooms and an outside space that the children can run around and play which was the only downside with the old building.”

“Flying tots is amazing, Sharon and her team are the ideal people one can ask to work with open communication, support with getting the right documents like the DBS, certificates and trainings to nurture holistic chaperones. Loved the help I received with my DBS processing and Most of all, I loved the souvenirs we received, they really inspire you that you are indeed a flying chaperone who will go places.”

“Owls Daycare has been like a second home for Emily since she was 9 months old, and now, as she approaches 4, she still loves every moment there! Emily was one of the first children to attend when Owls opened, and the support she's received over the years has been amazing. As she's simultaneously learning two languages—English as her native language and Portuguese as her heritage language—the team has been incredibly supportive in helping her develop strong communication skills. Their understanding and encouragement have been instrumental in her language growth. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being and development. Emily has flourished in this nurturing environment, not only socially and academically but also in expressing herself confidently in both languages. Parents receive daily updates on their child’s progress during pick-up, along with photos and reports via the Tapestry online platform. I’m so grateful for the love and care Owls Daycare has shown Emily, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her early years. A big thank you to Siobhan, James, Kayleigh, Ciara, Giovana, Ciaran and Jane Thank you for being such an important part of her life and learning journey! P.S. The photos are from her very first day at Owls!”

“I can not recommend Colby Nursery enough. My daughter attended there for almost a year and we were very sad to say goodbye last week due to moving away. Mary and all the team were absolutely fantastic, they provided a safe, secure and nurturing environment for my daughter to learn and develop. The garden is a welcome addition to the nursery ensuring they children have plenty of outdoor time and fresh air. It really is a fantastic environment for small children and we are so happy and grateful for the time our daughter E had there! We will miss you all so much Colby Road Nursery! Xx”

“Love simply kids for wraparound care and holiday clubs. The team behind this business truly care for your children and go above and beyond. They are a special bunch.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“My daughter attends the nursery and could not be happier. The staff are incredible and obviously really care about the children - my daughter has built fantastic bonds with not only her key workers but all of the staff. Every day we are given detailed hand overs about her adventures at nursery and the different ways they are focusing on her development. We have watched her flourish since she started attending and it was been wonderful to see. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, it feels like a second family and we are so lucky to have found it!”

“My 3 year old is attending this nursery and he is really happy. Every time when i go to pick him up always a happy smile on his face. He definitely enjoys his time there. Also the members are really gentle, caring and understanding.”

“Toffee was looked after well here. The staff are friendly and helpful and really care about your pets wellbeing. I have no hesitation in rebooking with them.”

“Rupert took great care of Luna our year old playful but energetic cross breed. We had a peaceful weekend and she had a lively time. Would recommend Rupert’s to anyone who would like a peace of mind break. Will do this on a regular basis. Thank you so much Rupert”

“Natalia looked after our guinea pigs a couple of times whilst we were away and she did an absolutely fantastic job! She kept them company, provided a stimulating environment and updated us regularly with pictures. On one occasion, I contacted Natalia the night before we went away as we booked a last minute break and she was really flexible and super helpful! You can trust Natalia 100% with your pets and your home. We would recommend her a million times over! Thank you so much for looking after our piggies and home so well!”

“The team at Penguins Palace Swimming Company has been absolutely fantastic and very professional. My son's swimming instructor, Aaron, has been exceptional with him. My son attends a group session and I have not been disappointed in any way. The level of attention given to each child, including my son, is outstanding. Aaron ensures that every child receives the necessary attention and focuses on their individual areas of improvement. We are constantly updated and involved through WhatsApp, which I find incredible. Honestly, I have tried other local swimming pools that offer lessons and I was not impressed and saw no progress. However, since my son started here, I have seen a remarkable 100 percent improvement. He can now swim and is no longer afraid of the water, which was our main goal. The environment is very enjoyable and my son is always excited to attend his swimming lessons because of the caring and friendly atmosphere that Penguins Palace provides. Every penny I spend has been well worth it.”

“We really love the team at Seriously FUN Swimming. Our boys have such fun at their Sunday morning lessons and have become confident swimmers. Each instructor at every level is expertly suited to guide the kids through their lessons and milestones. The structure that is in place is best in class and we're thrilled with the progression both of our boys are showing whilst keeping the fun element for them. Highly recommend Seriously FUN Swimming!”
