“The nursery is amazing - both our girls love it there! One is in the youngest baby room & the other in the toddler room! All the staff are so loving, helpful & hard-working and they do so many great activities with the children - we get so many nice photos & videos plus they come home with the sweetest paintings, drawings & craft things most days!

“My son has been going to Ready Steady Grow pre-school since he was 2 and is 4 now and he absolutely loves it! He has come on so well with his speech and confidence. All of the teachers are so friendly and the children love them. They helped us with potty training. He can count to 30 and knows all the months of the year.”

“As a past user of Shakhlo's services at Kumon, I can attest to her brilliance as an instructor. 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 am grateful for the positive impact she had on our learning experience. Thank you Shakhlo.”

“My son has attended here for coming on a year now. He is 2.5 years old. This is a very good nursery, the staff are all friendly and genuine, no dodgy character’s or anyone that makes you feel unsure or uneasy. They are very good with their Tapestry App, you get daily photos/updates and you can tell they really do make an effort with the kids and their early learning. My son has come on really well with speech, shapes, colours, counting and ABC’s and he always comes home singing all the words of lots of nursery rhymes. You never see any kids looking unhappy when dropping off or picking up. I have two children and moved around a bit in the past so I have worked with quite a few different nursery’s and I am confident this is a good all round nursery. They are very affordable too which is why I have given 5* - Thank you to the team xx”

“Brilliant team. My child enjoys her days at Grace’s.”

“My daughters have loved their time at Kindred Orpington and have especially enjoyed being looked after by Sophie, Libby & Sophia who are firm favourites and so caring and invested in the children. George and Sophie are fantastic managers and lead a great team. I would recommend Kindred Orpington to anyone.”

“My daughter started here at 11 months and absolutely loves it. The staff are caring professionals and go out of their way to make it a welcoming and nurturing environment.”

“My daughter has been attending Threshers Nursery for the past three years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. From day one, the staff have treated her like one of their own. They genuinely care about the children, they know their personalities, their routines, and what makes them smile. Every time I dropped her off or picked her up, she was happy, engaged, and clearly having fun. Rain or shine, the team always managed to bring positive energy and warmth to the day. That kind of consistency isn’t easy, but they make it look effortless. One thing I especially appreciated was the sense of freedom they gave the children. Kids should be kids, not constantly wiped down or overly restricted. At Threshers, my daughter was encouraged to explore, get messy, and learn through experience. She became very independent and confident, learning to do things on her own with gentle support when needed. Before this, she had attended a different nursery where she cried almost every day. But here, she was happy from the very beginning. That says a lot. I also want to mention that I always respected their work, I wasn’t the type of parent to micromanage or constantly complain. I trusted them, and they proved over and over that they deserved that trust. In three years, I’ve had zero issues. Thank you so much to the entire Threshers Team. You’ve made such a difference in our lives, and I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to other families.”

“My 2 and 6 year old loved going to holiday camp here this Easter. The staff work extremely hard to make sure the children are entertained and well looked after. They are looking forward to returning in the next half term.”

“Manor Oak is a nurturing, family oriented primary school. The staff really care and are very supportive of the children and parents. I have had four children go to Manor Oak and i have been a happy parent with happy children here for many years. They have thrived and have enjoyed coming to school. The SEN support here is also fantastic. I would highly recommend Manor Oak Primary School for your childs education and wellbeing.”

“Easy in and out. The parking can be busy. Nice staff.”

“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.”
