Arts in Purley

“My girl Aura stayed at Purley Cattery for a week. My Dad dropped her off for me and he was very happy with the cattery and felt that Aura was in great hands. I picked her up on my return and she settled in back home immediately. A big thank you to Paul & the team, they are lovely people and I will certainly use Purley Cattery again when I go away next. Thank you for looking after my girl so well! :)”

“Hayley recently tattooed the side of my neck and I couldn't be happier. Her lines were so clean especially being on the neck. Also hands down the most gentle artist I've ever had work on me with a needle. Can't wait for the next one.”

“Had an appointment today with Jane Makwana for the first time. I'm not keen on having dental treatment but Jane put me at ease and made it a very comfortable experience. Would definitely recommend this practice. Team helpful and friendly too.”

“Taz has been amazing throughout my Hygenist appointments. She explains the process very well and is very gentle. No doubt she takes so much pride in her job. Thank you for keeping my teeth healthy and clean.”

“I got exactly what I asked for and it looks great, definitely my best haircut. Very thorough hair wash and treatment - my hair feels very soft.”

“Went in to have my car serviced, would highly recommend, explained what was done, what parts were used and even gave me a free health check, left knowing my car is safe to drive. 5 stars, keep up the good work.”

“I was sent unexpectedly to phlebotomy today and so rather than risk the queue at CUH I decided to go to Purley Hospital. I am so glad I did. I saw Wendy, the phlebotomist who was astonishingly fantastic. For only the second time in my life I could honestly say I didn't feel the needle going in. She was so well organised that it took mere moments for the three or four files of blood to be taken. People always struggle getting blood from me, A&E on Sunday were horrendous but Wendy was amazing. She could certainly teach them a thing or two. Please don't ever leave Wendy.”

“Ivka has been helping me and my family for many years curing hayfever to stress. Highly recommended!”

“My daughter has been attending Art K with Jess for almost 2 years. In that time we have seen such leaps and bounds in her artistic nature, as well as growing confidence in herself. She loves coming to class every week and also attending the holiday workshops. We can’t recommend Art K enough! Such an amazing place for creatives! We’re looking forward to seeing more on how our daughter grows artistically through her sessions. Thank you!”

“Wonderful dance school which my children have attended and loved for years. A real family atmosphere, so supportive and encouraging of everyone.”

“Send my daughter here and this is her second nursery. Very very happy with all the team here. My daughter’s key worker is amazing and genuinely makes us feel our daughter is properly cared for. We stayed for a little bit one afternoon for a Father’s Day stay and play and you could see the bond that they had made. It was heartwarming to see. If we had another baby we wouldn’t hesitate to send them here. Thank you to all the staff for all the amazing work you do!”

“Both my daughters used to go there and to be honest the teachers are so lovely and kind .I would recommend this school to every child. A happy mother. Nohi.”

“I was referred to Purley Urgent Care by NHS111 and saw Dr Samia, who listened to my symptoms, examined my abdomen and told me she suspected me having appendicitis and to get myself off to A&E ASAP, with no food or drink - and SHE WAS SPOT ON. An emergency appendectomy later and I am on the road to recovery. Thanks Dr Samia.”

“A hidden gem.... small independent school with a happy atmosphere and great ethos”

“Very pleased with the work carried out by Dr Simon. He explained, ahead of the procedure (wisdom tooth filling), some of the difficulties that might be encountered due to the position of the tooth. My expectations were managed extremely well, and I was kept updated throughout, and felt very safe in his hands.”

“My children feel safe in this school.”

“Lovely cafe near Riddlesdown station. Wide range of hot and cold drinks including smoothies, nice egg breakfast selection and toasties and burgers. Some of the menu is halal, ask before you order. Recommend”

“Excellent service from Biti, who was kind, ensured modesty and was very efficient and meticulous with waxing. Thank you!”

“Longcroft Kenley/Gaby was amazing - her children too! As someone who was extremely nervous to leave her boys while I was away Gaby did an amazing job at making me feel at ease! I was sent daily pictures of them which was so nice/reassuring. The place itself is beautiful & there isn’t a lot of other kitties staying, so Gaby isn’t overly busy & is able to spend quality time with everyone. I will be bringing the boys back next time I go away… this will be there home away from home!”

“Thank you so so much. Sophie looks amazing. I'm highly reccomended Carol she is very proffesional, friendly, with big hart for dogs. I no need looking for other groomer because I have the best one !!!!”

“Soo happy with my first ever tattoo done here! Terry was professional, knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. The shop is also very lovely and clean! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!”

“What can i say the only place I would ever get my tattoos done, clean shop great guys. Make you feel like family and will always give you a truthful answer regarding your tattoo”

“My son absolutely adores going to the dentist because of Christine. She has such a calm and gentle way about her that instantly puts him at ease. The care and patience she shows makes every visit such a positive experience, and I’m so grateful to have found someone who makes him feel so comfortable and happy at the dentist.”

“Had another great haircut at Diane's today. Love this place as they treat you like family, provide a wonderful service every time and are so accommodating. I always leave feeling stunning and the prices are brilliant. Highly recommend.”

“My son is half way through his first term at Great Waves Kenley. He has made excellent progress learning to swim each week. He is given lots of attention and direction, and the wonderful instructors are patient and encouraging. We will be signing up our youngest child very soon. Thank you Great Waves!”

“Great customer service. Friendly and efficient engineer came right away to investigate a fault. Transpired to be a better option to purchase a new machine. New washing machine installed within 3 hours of making my initial call. Impressive and a real win with a small child at home. Thoroughly recommend using a great local business like this. Thanks H20!”

“As an anxious dental patient from childhood, I have found going to the dentist an immensely traumatic experience - until I started to attend the Kenley Dental Practice. Astraea the receptionist is always polite, helpful and calm. Evelyn the dental nurse is very reassuring, caring and professional. I had to have an unscheduled extraction recently and Dr Patel explained all the alternative treatments very clearly. Once I had opted for the extraction, his work was efficient, painless and swift. A very professional operation all round. Thank you.”
