Child development classes in London

“My little one and I have just completed the Baby Development course run by Frances. As a new mum it's quite nerve-wracking trying a baby sensory class wondering whether it's the right one for you and your baby, and having tried a few it's safe to say that we have found the perfect class for me and my baby. The classes have been quite small and intimate which has allowed us to get to know Frances well, as well as interact with other new mums. She is really invested in all the babies and parents that attend her session. We love her sessions, have learnt baby massage skills which I still use on my baby every evening as part of his bed time routine as well as some of the sign language and songs. We can't wait for discovery tots which is the next level up from baby development.”

“My 3 year old son looks forward to his Playball class each week. The structured lessons have helped to develop his listening and turn taking skills. I have seen huge improvements in his throwing, catching, jumping and running skills. Coach Grant is wonderful! He is so patient with the children. I would highly recommend this class to any 3-4 year olds.”

“My son began attending Butterflies in September 2021, and I can only share positive feedback about this nursery. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff deserve praise as they know how to connect with children and are highly creative. I appreciate that the children engage in different activities every day. As full-time parents, we value the communication and photos shared through the phone application, which allows us to track our son's progress and daily activities. Additionally, the nursery offers various ad-hoc booking sessions that make our lives easier. While these depend on availability, they are extremely beneficial, particularly the "early starter" option, which we frequently use. Lastly, the owner and manager, Danielle, is very helpful, approachable and finds time to speak to all parents. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to all parents—your kids will love it.”

“I really enjoy the classes with my son Freddie. We are now going onto level 4 baby swim with Nano. Nano is a great instructor, he takes time to explain what we need to do and shows professionalism and makes the classes enjoyable. My son who's 11 months loves the swimming and listening to the nursery rhymes. I would recommend osterley centre it is clean and staff are lovely. It's a brilliant set up and I'm looking forward to many more lessons. Xox”

“First of all Kelly is so friendly and warming. The class was amazing with lots of different elements like dancing, singing, signing. Lots of sensory, different things to look at and touch. Great for babies development. Different themes each week which keeps or new and fun. The best baby class in Medway!”

“Really loved this swimming pool and classes for babies and toddlers. We took our baby there when she was 3 months and kept going until she was 2 and now we sadly moved outside London. Teachers are very gentle, the atmosfere is great, I can’t find it any faults. We will really miss it.”

“I’ve taken both my son and daughter to Tumble Tots and we have all loved it. The classes are really well run and Sarah, Chelsea, Bev and Shana (sorry about spelling!) are fantastic and really helpful and engaging with the kids. The activities are always really varied and my kids have developed so many new skills and gained in confidence loads since attending, and love going every week. We highly recommend it!”

“My son has been going to tumbletots for roughly a year now and he still looks forward to it all week! The sessions are really varied so he never gets bored and he has learnt so much about movement, balance, coordination and problem solving. Sarah and the team are very experienced and so the children are able to take risks and be daring on the apparatus and balance beams in a truly safe, controlled environment. The sessions feel really child-led and the instructors praise creativity, allowing the children to make their way around the equipment in the way that feels natural to them. I have really seen my son’s confidence and personality grow from these sessions and wish I had signed up my older one when he was at the same age! Highly recommend :)”

“What a great class. My little one loves coming to these sessions. Sarah and the team are wonderful and bring such a fun and friendly vibe to the class!!”

“The best staff at Great Child Nursery, flexible, good and knowledgeable staff. They are very frendly with children. I am very happy that I chose this kindergarten! My boy loves going to kindergarten!”

“I took my daughter to baby sensory from 10weeks old. She absolutely loved it as did I. First of all it was more for me than her I guess, getting out to the same class every week, I made some lovely mummy friends and as my daughter grew, she realised she had become friends with their children too. Starting from such a young age was so beneficial as we learnt different signs which was great for communication and development and she would always leave exhausted from absorbing everything in the class. She loved all the songs and we would sing them at home too. Every week is different, no 2 classes are the same. We learnt so many different songs and actions and was gutted when she hit 13 months and we graduated. I then went on to take my son once he was born who loved it just as much as his big sister did, I never got bored of it at all. Kelly was our class leader and her positive energy and enthusiasm made the classes what they were. She put 110% effort into every activity we done, she captured my little ones attention from start to finish as she interacts with all the babies through the class. Finding out she was then able to play a part in my sons 1st birthday was literally the icing on the cake. Provided all equipment and instruments for our jungle animal themed party and everyone that came had nothing but amazing feedback for her party. 100% recommend to everyone”

“One of the best tuition centres in London. Really impressed by my kids' progress at 'Head of the Class'! In just a few weeks, I noticed a significant difference in their writing, reading, math, and vocabulary skills. Supportive environment, and skilled tutors who seemed to have customised the teachings for my kids. Grateful for quality education. A great choice for parents seeking to notice significant progressive changes for their kids education.”

“Awesome party hosts!! Very organised and interactive with the kids!! Highly recommend them!!”

“My son loves it. Good, pleasant coaches and one of the best sports classes you can send your kid too”

“My son has been going for nearly 2 years and loves it!! SiFu Kul is amazing , as are all the staff. Mark and Harry are our favourites!! Thank you for all you do!!”

“Best childcare facility in London. The staff is really friendly and takes care of the kids. They keep them engrossed in many activities.”

“Both kids attended this lovely local nursery. Staff retention is great, thus kids build long term positive relations with nursery team and feel very secure and happy there. Kudos to nursery manager as she is very supportive, accommodating for working parents’ needs and invests in her team.”

“London Christian School feels like a caring community of families and teachers, rather than a school! The smaller size means everyone knows everyone, yet newcomers are warmly welcomed. Whilst there is naturally a strong Christian ethos, different religions are respected and embraced. Our children are in Years 5 and 3, have both been at the school since the age of four, and come home every day tired but elated! The teaching is excellent; strong academics are balanced with sport, music, extra-curricular activity and individual pastoral support where needed. The location is fantastic for anyone living in the “inner south east” London area or working around London Bridge or the City. The only limitation of LCS is that due to the central location, sports fields are not on-site. But they make the best possible use of the rooftop playground and the nearby council park and astroturf, with the older children heading out to the local facilities daily for a run around. If we go into any further lockdowns during 2021, LCS can be trusted to continue to deliver a fantastic educational experience; ensuring no child gets left behind whilst being realistic about what is possible in a home-schooling environment. In the meantime, it has been clear to us that the teachers and children alike are very excited to be back at school and are making the most of the time they spend together - having fun and building friendships, learning and exploring, and feeling part of their special school community once again. We cannot recommend LCS highly enough!”

“Brilliant, friendly, and patient staff. Good facilities. My child is really happy there.”

“My son attended the Child Development Centre after we had exhausted all other avenues through the NHS and essentially got nowhere. I am not disparaging the NHS, I think they are marvellous but they do not have the time or resources to fully help our children the way they need help in these circumstances. We had the Centre recommended to us and it has really changed our lives. The relief that someone was finally making sense of our son's behaviour and difficulties that he was having was immense. He would jump and scream at unexpected noises, he would hate any labels in clothes, he would zoom around the house causing mayhem (not deliberately, quite the opposite he was very happy), but we did fear he had ADHD. He was like Tigger from Winnie the Poo, bouncing around everywhere! His concentration was very poor, he was very silly and immature for his age, he wasn't able to sit and watch a DVD, read a book or play with one toy or game for any period of time, he would get bored very easily and be off to play with another toy or game. From a very young age he would have obsessions - firstly the Fire Service and he would not anywhere unless in a full fireman's uniform with a utility belt, he was 4 yrs old at this stage and then it changed to the Police (5yrs old) and then the Army (8yrs old) with each obsession taking over all of our lives in one way or another. One fact we did find interesting was that Dyspraxia often gets misdiagnosed as ADHD. He was diagnosed as having Dyspraxia traits and audio dyslexia. We received a very detailed report which made so much sense in terms of why he was behaving the way he was, but more importantly we started the programme that would definitely change all of our lives for the better. The programme is not a quick fix solution. You need to be dedicated and understand there will be times when it is frustrating and it seems you are making no progress then other times when it accelerate and the changes are amazing. Most people comment that he is like a different boy now and he really is. Once we were able to get rid of the reflexes he had retained the changes became really noticeable. He is so much calmer now, he can concentrate - he reads so many books now which we are delighted at! The screaming when he's startled has stopped and he's even more tolerant to labels! In the beginning we did the on-line checklist on the website and ticked far too many! However, I would highly recommend doing this as it give you a really good idea on whether there is a problem there that needs solving. My husband and I had the conversation about the cost of the treatment and I remember him saying 'this could be the best money we've ever spent' and he was absolutely right, it was. I would highly recommend going for an initial assessment to find out all about it. We originally met David and then Alex continued all of the appointments and treatments with our son. He is excellent with children, very professional with a firm but easy-going manner. If you decide to do it, follow all of the instructions, they really do know what they are talking about and you will get better results by following them to the letter. The programmes are medication free which I loved, this is a totally natural way to help your child be the best they can be!”

“Clean and quiet facilities. Welcoming members of staff. Easy to contact them over the phone, unlike most NHS services nowadays. Quick to get back to you, when needed.”

“really apreciate the help am reciving from camhs , people go way to harsh on this place when there are trying there best using the resources they have the best way they can ,”
