Arts and crafts programs in London

“Lucy and Becky ran our daughter’s 6th birthday party. Was a dance class themed party with performance to parents at the end. Lucy discussed songs for the playlist and format of the party with me in advance. Arrived promptly and took all the kids and taught them dance moves, whilst the parents got to chat! They then helped us with sandwiches and cakes before resuming the lesson then a fun end of party performance! Very professional, and great with the kids. Highly recommend”

“My daughter recently had the opportunity to attend a drama lesson, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The session was engaging, inspiring, and full of energy. It was wonderful to see her come home excited and confident The instructor created a warm and encouraging environment that helped her feel comfortable and expressive from the start. Thank you for offering such a fantastic opportunity—this has truly sparked a new passion in her! Thanks Emma, Lisa and the rest of the team...well appreciated. Love Nicolex”

“The staff at 360 Arts are amazing! They are all genuine, kind hearted people who care so much about their kids and the parents. A fantastic performing arts school and talent agency. Always totally committed to creating opportunities and making dreams come true. So happy we found 360 Arts!!!”

“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.”

“My 8 year old daughter has been attending Art K on a Saturday morning for about a year and it is the highlight of her week. She has settled into the warm, caring environment really well and has produced some beautiful art... her skills are definitely being developed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Art K to anyone with a child who is interested in art... in fact I have recommended the group to many friends already!”

“My mother and I did the pottery wheel experience for her 75th birthday! We had a lovely time, Janet was very patient in explaining all the techniques to us and showed us each step of the pot making process. We both loved it! Thank you”

“Amazing Drama School and they definitely exceed my expectations after completing my degree! Firstly, the syllabus was well structured, gave exposure to wide range of Acting subjects/techniques and had depth. Second, the teachers and staff was the best part of LSDA, they were very experienced, hands on, professional and cared about your education growth, they definitely challenge you. Third, the style of teaching at LSDA was exercise base rather than just theory. Fourth, you will be part of a class of other inspiring actors during your degree who share the same passion, they will be a big part of your learning curve and you will build a special bond with them like non other. One of the best experiences I have ever had.”

“You can held ceremony there enough space for students to study and read aswell”

“Great place, as a working, travelling artist - the bedrooms are a great solution to working in London. Lovely coffee. Bar open after shows for punters and artist, not shutting straight after the show. Attention to detail. Great theatre!!”

“This the best nursery I’ve ever come across. The staff are always doing their best to help improve with the development of the children. Qualified, very professional and most caring. I’ve visited many nurseries prior to finding this nursery and easily far much better in terms of providing social and learning activities. Now I have peace of mind. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.”

“This is a great playground and my children love playing here. There has been a lot added to it over the years, the new pirate ship and rocking horse are a huge hit! It is friendly for the younger children, there is a smaller climbing frame and the swings with seats for younger children/ toddlers. There are climbing frames for the older children or the more adventurous little ones! There are benches and little picnic tables scattered around. Next to the playground there is a good size basketball court which sometimes doubles up as a space to play football. On the other side of the playground there is a large outdoor paddling pool. This only opens in the summer holidays but it is very popular with the locals. It is free and mostly quite clean. The pool is cleaned once a week and it does get closed while it is being cleaned. There are male and female toilets in the building next to the paddling pool but these are only open while the pool is open. The pool is only for children, my little one wasn't keen going in on his own for the first time so I got some funny looks when I went in the pool too! The pool is very shallow and there are benches situated around the pool.”

“An outstandingly warm and welcoming place”

“Both of my daughters attended this nursery and we loved it so much! My youngest has just started school and is so happy and well prepared, which is a testament to the work the nursery have done with her. It’s a beautiful purpose built setting, recently refurbished, with a lovely outdoor space and a mud garden! From the management to the cooks, everyone is so friendly and lovely and my daughters thrived there. We will miss everyone so much, and will come back to visit!”

“fantastic classes and teachers- my daughter absolutely loves it here. Super nurturing and great for building their confidence.”

“Enjoyed a brilliant course here, learning way more than I expected and actually making some nice jewellery! Our tutor, Tai, was excellent, guiding us through a range of techniques but also helping us make individual items of our own choice. (I made two sets of silver earrings as well as rings. These are silver-smithing classes rather than gem-setting or bead work.) The very small classes and well-equipped workshop mean you get a lot of personal attention and are not waiting around to use tools. I thoroughly recommend it.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our guide Will, was both informative and amusing. Will tell our friends.”

“Our daughter joined Brilliant towards the beginning of the year and its fair to say that she loves it. Every week she looks forward to the class and comes out buzzing afterwards. Brilliant put on a great performance at a local theatre in the summer which was very professional and amazing to watch. I think being part of this group has given her the confidence to attend the after school drama club and audition in front of circa 100 children of various ages within a week of starting secondary school. In addition, she has the confidence to be reading/acting out a poem on stage for potential new students at the open evening this week. I think that is amazing for someone who only started secondary school 4 weeks ago! I certainly feel that Brilliant has been a big part in all that so would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a performing arts club.”

“Amazing actor training, I haven't come across anything like it in London.”

“Our son had a fantastic 1st year at a nursery at Kids in Motion, where he learned a lot, he made friends and he got very close to the staff. We moved away from the area so we couldn’t really keep him there longer, but even though more than 2 months have passed, he still mentions Alice and the rest of the staff. The team is doing a great job with many fun, educational activities and celebrations planned. We loved receiving photos every week and getting a good amount of information on our baby’s development.”

“All three of our children attended Little Cherubs and all three flourished. The children learnt in innovative ways, received love and support and most importantly were happy! I’d have no hesitations in recommending. Thanks Little Cherubs!”

“Fantastic leadership group and a lovely setting for children to learn.”

“My son graduated from Acorn to Oak nursery in August 2024. He had a happy, positive and fun experience. His learning, confidence and development came on leaps and bounds during his time there. This is thanks to the caring staff who are very helpful and nurturing. The nursery staff and office staff are incredibly supportive going above and beyond to also support parents. Thank you for everything and I would highly recommend this lovely nursery.”

“I was an old pupil there. Made great friends and had some great teachers too.”

“I have used this Nursery for 4 years for my 2 sons and have much praise for their care, love and development of my children. The staff across all the rooms here are very supportive, friendly and welcoming, acting much like an extended family to me. My boys have both thrived here, the educational activities they run inside and outside are truly inspiring - science experiments/ cooking classes/ show and tells/ sports days I would thoroughly recommend.”

“I first visited IATE over 10 years ago ans was blown away by the high quality learning environment and the knowledge and professionalism of the tutors and guest speakers. I have been exceptionally privileged to continue to access professional development opportunities over the years that have been cutting edge and informed by the latest research and evidence. The training is second to none. Each of the training spaces is themed and provides a comfortable learning environment. And the toilets are worth a visit alone!!!”
