“Emily walks our doggies Maisy and Ollie every week and she recently looked after them for two weeks when we were in Mexico. We could not be happier with Emily, she is punctual and takes fantastic care of Maisy and Ollie.They absolutely love her. She sent us comprehensive daily updates when we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she absolutely loves the dogs in her care.”

“Darren has been walking our dog on a regular basis for a couple of years now. He provides an excellent high quality service. He is extremely reliable, professional, and flexible. Darren is always quick to respond if we need to make changes or requests, and has always been able to accommodate these. He is friendly and knowledgable on all things dog related as well which is helpful to tap into! I can highly recommend Darren.”

The staff was knowledgeable and took the time to help me choose the perfect model for my needs, providing detailed explanations of different features and options. The delivery was prompt and hassle-free, with the team taking great care to ensure the fridge was set up correctly and functioning properly. They even took the time to walk me through the various settings and features, making sure I was comfortable with everything. Overall, RGA Appliance provided exceptional service and a high-quality product. I highly recommend them for anyone in the market for new appliances. Thank you Sam and team !”

“The Nest climbing is a fantastic facility for your bouldering adventures. The staff and people make it a very friendly and welcoming place for climbers of all ages and skill levels to participate in the sport we love. There are a number of expert led small grouped classes to participate in between your time on the wall helping you build mobility and strength in order to progress in your climbs. I can recommend this place highly enough.”

“Amazing staff, easy process and so happy with the family that I’m able to work with! Super helpful and straight forward!”

“Jacob is a fantastic chiropractor, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He took time to understand my issue, explained everything clearly, and the treatment made a real difference straight away. Highly recommend.”

“The lower back pain and sciatica workshop I attended last week was so informative. I have now attended my first appointment with Roberto who gave me his full attention and was extremely helpful. I feel very positive that by doing the exercises regularly, my stature and balance will improve immensely. Thank you so very much for giving me hope.”

“The experience was very good experience. He helped diagnosed my issue which was prepatellar bursitis, and he also provided me with support to help me to nurture the issue. As another healthcare professional I definitely recommend him, as he listens to what you have to say as well as providing you with relevant information to further improve the healing process.”

“Great store with a good selection of baseball/softball gloves. And very good salesman who was very helpful to us. Thank you.”

“I cannot praise this swimming school highly enough! I’ve been using them for both my children. My eldest is very close to finishing her lessons hopefully and she started off as a non swimmer and she is now a confident swimmer who enjoys coming to every lesson. My youngest has just started off and is loving every minute of her sessions. The instructors are professional and cater to each individual needs. My kids love all the instructors and Claire is very quick at responding to any queries or questions parents have. When my partner broke his foot and couldn’t drive my eldest to her lessons - I told Claire about it and she went above and beyond to get my daughter into a different session time in order for her to not miss one lesson. I will definitely be recommending seriously swimming to anyone looking for a swim school. Thanks so much!!”

“A friend suggested to come to train, I tried a few sessions and fell in love with the community I was training with. The teachers were very helpful and showed me ways I can improve my body and martial art skills, if you had to choose a place to train, I’d train with these people.”

“Our physiotherapy team have been collaborating with the Busen team to provide access to the gym for older teens to help encourage self management and provide inclusive exercise opportunities for children with long term physical needs. The Busen team have been really helpful throughout. The space really great, there is a good selection of equipment. The space is always clean and well maintained. We are very grateful for thier help and support.”

“My son attended a trial lesson at UK1 Academy in South Ealing this morning and we were so impressed that we decided to enroll him in Muay Thai classes. The coach at UK1 Academy is excellent at teaching children and is clearly passionate about martial arts. From the moment we entered the academy, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Our coach took the time to get to know my son and made sure that he felt included in the class. During the lesson, my son learned a lot about Muay Thai and had a great time doing so. The coach was patient and encouraging, and he made sure that each child in the class was learning and having fun. Overall, we would highly recommend UK1 Academy to anyone looking for a martial arts academy in London. The coach is excellent at teaching children, and the facilities and staff are top-notch. We're looking forward to continuing our son's martial arts journey at UK1 Academy!”

“My kids settled in well at Veras Academy, the atmosphere (the welcoming and smiles) very exciting I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to join us.”

“I recently had the pleasure of completing a nutrition course at Train for Gains Academy, and I am thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. The academy's commitment to excellence truly sets them apart, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge in the realm of nutrition. I was instantly pleased with Train for Gains Academy's thorough and well-structured program. In addition to being educational, the course material was thoroughly presented to accommodate students with different levels of prior knowledge. Carlton showed that he had a thorough command of the material and a sincere desire to see his pupils succeed. I was able to put the knowledge I learned in the nutrition course to use right away since it skilfully combined theoretical ideas with practical applications. I wholeheartedly recommend Train for Gains Academy to anyone looking to delve into the world of nutrition. The exceptional quality of their courses, combined with the passion and expertise of their instructors, makes it a top choice for individuals seeking a transformative learning experience. I am grateful for the knowledge gained and the positive impact this course has had on my understanding of nutrition. Thank you, Train for Gains Academy, for exceeding my expectations and providing an unparalleled educational journey!”

“I have wanted to do dance classes for all of my adult life and always chickened out due to stage fright/anxiety, fear of being judged and under qualified at even “casual” classes. At the start of this year I pulled the trigger and did some taster sessions at Studio K and never looked back. All the instructors and members are so welcoming and friendly. A variety of levels of fitness and body types (which is refreshing, especially in ballet!) and everyone from people who have never danced to seasoned dancers. It has been a wonderful social experience and chance to be able to indulge in a range of dance styles I never thought I’d be able to do in the same place plus a discovery of others (Waacking is life changing). I only wish I had time to go more often! Thank you Studio K - especially Ginger and Sarah who I normally do classes with. Try out the taster sessions - you won’t regret it!”

“I had a session here with Melanie White after an initial assessment at their branch in the River Club, Worcester Park. The treatment I have received from this company exceeds by far anything I have had elsewhere. The staff are polite, helpful and most importantly show a genuine interest in getting you back to fitness.”

“Alexis is extremely knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. Having had long term problems with my knees, I have very high standards for physio treatment in which he delivered. He helped me with my treatment plan and overcome the pain, I highly recommend!”

“I attended physio sessions with Recoverie Health - Oakwood after a procedure on my shoulder. When I first attended I had limited range of movement and was on prescribed pain medication for many months. After attending just five sessions with Recoverie Health I have now regained full range of movement and best of all no pain or meds! Many thanks to physiotherapists, Vera Wong and Dominick Williams for all your help.”

“I would highly recommend our swimming instructor Louis. He has a gentle approach and patience creating a positive environment for my 9-month-old daughter. Louis expertise ensures a safe and enjoyable introduction to the water, fostering confidence in little swimmers.”

“My son has been attending classes here from 3-5 years old and it has been great. They have very small groups and get them used to being comfortable in the water. It is also very personal and Fiona, who I have been working with to manage things, has been always very flexible in finding a slot for Gaspard despite a lot of changing priorities on our side.”

“Great experience on my first visit to U&R (20-Aug). Good advice that respected my novice trail running experience and concerns I had about footcare. Really delighted with the service and highly recommend U&R.”

“Lovely friendly practice, have had great experiences for both myself and my children. Lisa is so welcoming in reception, very friendly and makes you feel at ease instantly. Dr. Parikh was so kind and friendly, my children had a great first experience at the dentist. Dr. Sonal was amazing. So friendly, she made me feel at ease and comfortable instantly and took away my worry of previous bad experiences I’ve had. Very grateful to have found a lovely dental practice for our family and will be recommending.”

“I had a back massage and facial with Natasha. The surroundings are beautiful and Natasha gave me a brilliant relaxing massage and one of the best ESPA facials!My skin looks amazing this morning. I will definitely be a regular customer x”

“Best grocery shop for fresh fruit and veg. They also stock an eclectic array of condiments, and ingredients for those who enjoy cooking. Plus delicious fresh treats - halloumi bites, almond or chocolate croissants.”

“We are loving Little Gym and have been members since 2022 since our daughter was 2! The staff and facilities are exceptional and although it might seem expensive compared to other clashes the flexibility is so useful as they are always accommodating with swapping and banking classes which helps so much as things always come up. It’s a really nice place for parents and we’ve made many friends there.”
