“This nursery is absolutely fantastic! From the friendly and welcoming staff to the engaging activities they offer, it's clear that they truly care about the children. My little one has flourished here, learning new things every day in a safe and nurturing environment. The team is incredibly attentive, and I love the daily updates and photos they share, which make me feel connected to my child’s day. The nursery has a great balance of fun and education, and I couldn’t be happier with the care my child is receiving. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a top-notch early education experience!thank you stay and play❤️”

“I haven’t looked back since I joined Forever. Richard is a genius. His teaching is excellent, second to none, it’s so absorbing, extensive and endless such as technique, balance, character of dance, turns, swivels, spirals, leading, following, the hold , posture, count, timing , hip rotation pendulum action, swing, sway , foot positioning etc covering the wide array of Latin American and Ballroom dances in International style.I am totally engrossed. It’s of immense value to me. My friends and family have all commented that I have grown from strength to strength as a dancer in relatively short time 9 months and leaps and bounds compared to other places. Together with Jeni, I have all angles covered. Both are really attentive to the students in private classes and group classes to make sure we get it right, never taking their eyes off the ball, they don’t miss a thing. It’s quite exceptional how they focus on men and women in equal measure. One revelation to me is learning how to dance beautifully with anyone of any experience or standard , whether an absolute beginner or an advance professional dancer. . The Gala, Cabaret and Medal Nights are so slick, setting, choreography, lighting, photography. It’s so exciting to take part. One of the benefits of dancing, I find, is emotional and mental well-being which positively impacts all other areas of my life and which no medication can prescribe without serious side effects. The only serious side effect of this is becoming a FABULOUS DANCER.I am thrilled for myself that I am at Forever.”

“Had a private group lesson with my partner and his parents! They were so nervous because it was their first time doing any sort of dance class. Alex made everyone so comfortable and taught the class in the most engaging and warm way. I would 10/10 recommend her for any one who’s looking to introduce a little dance into their lives in a fun and engaging way ”

“I've been training here on the third year foundation course for just over half a term now and honestly could not be happier. Training in fully equipped studios just a couple of minutes away from west end theatres that we have already taken trips to see shows at is something I feel so lucky to be able to do. At Bodens, I've been challenged and stretched by teachers more than I ever have in my education so far, but in a way where I feel supported in everything I do and recognised for every success. Having come from a huge secondary school and sixth form college, it's brilliant to be in small classes where I feel that every tutor knows me and wants me to do well-be it in taking my next steps towards my future or improving on what I performed last week. There's a brilliant sense of community here with staff and students alike and I look forward to coming in every day. I could not be more thankful to be training here :)”

“I have been a part of this school for many years and have only had a positive experience- I was helped to reach grade 7 by the exemplary teachers who work here. I felt pushed to work harder as a ballerina from a place of love and care, and have achieved all my goals because of this school. Additionally, the studio itself is beautiful, clean and well-kept, and I felt fully prepared for each of my exams.”

“Oliver Harris was an exceptional agent in securing our new flat and in setting up a positive relationship with our landlords. Friendly, knowledgeable and honest, Oliver kept us looped in through the whole procedure, very up to date on everything, organised contracts/handover/deposits smoothly and made what could have been a stressful experience enjoyable. Thank you Oliver!”

“From the moment you step into Puddleducks New Southgate Nursery, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately puts both children and parents at ease. The vibrant, cheerful environment is thoughtfully designed to stimulate young minds and nurture creativity, making it an ideal setting for early childhood education. One standout feature of Puddleducks is its exceptional staff, particularly Sameerah, whose dedication and passion for her work shine through in everything she does. Sameerah is a beacon of kindness and professionalism, consistently going above and beyond to ensure each child feels valued and supported. Her ability to connect with children on an individual level is truly remarkable, fostering a sense of trust and security that is essential for young learners. For any parent seeking a nurturing and stimulating environment for their little ones, Puddleducks, is the perfect choice.”

“Thank you Sam and the girls for supporting my daughter from the very beginning in ballet, tap and singing lessons. I've seen my little girls confidence grow and she absolutely loves the team there. It's a temporary break we are taking and due to return after summer! Thank you x”

“I have been attending bodens for about five years now and in those five years I have learnt so many new skills. I currently attend their Saturday morning combined musical theatre classes from 10am-1pm and their tap dance classes on Mondays from 5pm-5:45pm. I also take part in Trinity musical theatre exams which I am very lucky and grateful to do. Bodens has given me many opportunities and taught me many things that I will use in everyday life and in the future. Being a student at bodens has helped my confidence grow massively. They never fail to produce incredible shows where every student is involved and having fun. All members of staff are lovely and are always nice . They encourage us to take risks in theatre and help us understand what life is like in the theatre industry. Not only are the staff kind, but the students are too; they are all very welcoming to new people and are always open to making new friends. I have really enjoyed every moment during my time at bodens so far, and I think other young people should get to experience this too.”

“I am highly impressed with Bright Little stars Nursery-Barnet. The nursery has a really welcoming environment. The staff is really kind and professional at the same time. The facility it self is bright, clean and engaging. There are a lot of engaging and interesting activities for the children. I am really happy my child joined Bright Little Stars nursery Barnet as I see her really loving and bonding with the staff there. I would definitely recommend the nursery to every parent that wants their child to feel happy and comfortable.”

“Luxury country club with golf and swimming. Great venue for weddings”

“Slide and swings-weeee Ducks - quack Grass - green init”

“I am so grateful for the wonderful experience my daughter has had at this nursery. She started when she was just 16 months old, and watching her grow and develop has been an absolute joy. The staff is incredibly supportive, creating an environment where she feels safe, loved, and excited to learn every day. We've seen so much progress in her social skills, language development, and overall confidence. Every day, we can see how much she enjoys going to nursery, and as parents, that brings us so much peace of mind. We're truly happy with the care, attention, and educational foundation she is receiving here. Highly recommend!”

“Really good theatre. Looks like it encourages young people in the arts. I like the fact tickets are usually £10. Cheapest theatre in the area. Its great the theatre is very intimate and very close to the stage. Great for kids”

“I am choosing to write these reviews since I need to emphasise that this school is not what it was before United Learning came in. Where else are you going to find a headteacher that remembers everybody's names, where the year 11s are going for sixth form, and what the kids' interests are? Mr Fairbairn has drastically improved this school by simply deciding to be an active headteacher, not giving kids excuses to do nothing, and ensuring everyone is learning. External cover teachers were rare during my time there. Mr Fairbairn even covered my physics class while they attempted to find a new physics teacher for my GCSE class. I joined in year 10. During my first GCSE art class, he took the time out to come up to me, greet me, talk to me about why I chose TTA, and even asked how my brother, who had left for sixth form at the time, was. This is just Mr Fairbairn. I won't even go on about the rest of the staff with how supportive, how caring, and how professional they all are. You have teachers like Mrs Palmer who has been at the school for decades and still has an absolute love for teaching and drive to inspire. There's a misconception that the school is a hotpot for crime and where all the misbehaved kids go, but trust me, this is not tolerated by the staff and is not true in the slightest. Thank you for supporting me, TTA.”

“Amazing school with disciplined students and teachers. The routines are great and professional staff all around. And best of all a safe work environment.”

“Today my son attended this lovely forest school for the last time as he has to go to normal school full time. We will miss the lovely kids, amazing teachers and beautiful setting. Managers and teachers alike are kind, thoughtful, considerate and loving people - who all clearly have deep connections to nature. My son has special needs and all teachers went out of their way to help him settle and thrive. Amazing place. We’re very sad to leave : (”

“They are always available for help and support whole family not only the children. The manager and her team are very supportive and experienced. They looked after our family in the hardest times in our life. Many thanks.”

“I can't praise this nursery enough. I was so lost before i found them. My child attended another nursery before that, that i wasn't happy with, decided to switch, and have been visiting 5 nurseries in the area. Kidz Choice was as friendly as it gets. They really do care about the children, not in business just for the money. My child had such a progress with them. All the staff is extremely helpful. Thank you guys.”

“A fantastic day at work, the children were amazing and ready to learn. Lots of great ideas given by the children for the weeks ahead. Go Kidz Choice !!!!”

High levels of safeguarding ,good food ,very clean management and admin are also wonderful.Many thanks The best Nursery in Barnet /London”

“The teachers at Al Pascal Music are focused, full of energy and dedicated to their students. The opportunity to play gigs through the music school teaches much more than just how to play an instrument and has given both my sons an amazing and rare opportunity to grow as people as well as musicians.”

“My little girl has been doing ballet with Miss Meri for two years and loves it. We r very happy with these classes.”

“I have been attending Angie's Line Dance class and Latin class for approximately 15 years. Angie is dedicated to her classes, she teaches at a steady pace and she is very patient! The classes are very friendly and I have made many friends throughout the years. I very much look forward to the Social evenings which are so enjoyable and are an ideal opportunity to meet dancers from other classes. I look forward to many more years' dancing with Angie.”

“Great Fun!!!! Love it. Keep Calm and Dance :)”

“Lisa is an intuitive teacher and professional in her approach. I took a tap dancing class with her during lockdown. She was inspirational and patient, as we were beginners. I enjoyed her modelling of the steps and the rhythm. Her choice if music was excellent and uplifting!”
