Everyone was kind, professional and attentive, which made such a difference to his recovery. Apologies because we can only remember nurse Aggy by name, she was wonderful as were all the staff and I’d also like to mention Natalie in physiotherapy, who was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. Thank you to the whole team for making the experience so positive”

“My daughter loves all her classes at Holly Bellsham School of Performing arts, doing tap, ballet, street jazz, drama and singing. I love that the classes are fun and no pressure is on the children yet they are learning all the correct technique. She enjoys her drama and singing classes and is always excited to get her scripts and song words. It’s been lovely to see her involved in the theatre shows and watch her on stage.”

“My procedure during having implants put in has been one of an experience I would tell anyone who is contemplating on having them …. Go ahead !! , I have never had implants so didn’t know what to expect, Sara is so professional and calm , she explained everything that was to happen , every time I was unsure Sara was there as my guiding hand . Could not have asked for more , would go through the whole process again under her safe hands .”

“I visited Bodysmiths after injuring and herniating a disc in my lower back. Thanks to the work of Felicity and Gemma I now feel back to how I was pre injury. Really good service by them both and I recommend them thoroughly.”

“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!!”

Shakhlo's exceptional customer service skills and personalised approach made our experience truly memorable. She created a supportive and nurturing environment where we felt valued and encouraged to succeed. Her genuine care for her students' progress and well-being was evident in every interaction. She was always available to address our questions or concerns, providing valuable guidance and support throughout our Kumon journey.

“I do not usually leave reviews. I read some really negative comments below. I wanted to say this has not been our experience at all. Hollybank it’s self is a well maintained building that has just been updated. It’s bright and cheerful. All efforts have been made with consideration all the children’s needs. I have only ever seen the place look very clean and tidy. They even pop my child clothes in the wash if get used during her stay. Which is very helpful and appreciated. All the staff I have found to be warm and friendly. With complete commitment to treating all the children with love and care. The staff are very special people that should be commended for all their hard work. The staff go above and beyond to make each individual child happy. For example when my daughter when stays they get all the food she likes make they buy her favourite food like strawberries. This attention to detail is very heartwarming and means a lot as a parent. I have bumped in to a hollybank member of staff she recognised me and we had a lovely chat about my daughter. In other reviews below Pat the manager has was brought up I have always found her great to go to if I need help or information regarding my child. There are many staff that all deserve a shout out but I am just going to mention Matthew as he got some negative feed back. I believe this is completely unjustified. Matthew is an amazing nurse. He looks after the children with true care and compassion, while being always be professional. I am truly glad someone like him is looking after my child. He is kind, caring and funny my daughter loves him. Although I think she can be a little bit naughty for him, he takes this all in his stride. Especially as he time to get to know her so well. Any time he needs to know or check something about My child he will call me. I personally like him very much and appreciate all his had work. Appreciate all the hollybank and staff. I wish I could show my gratitude to each and every member of staff, they make a huge difference in the lives of families with special needs children. I feel so fortunate to have my child being looked after by such wonderful people.”
