Child development classes in London

“I was invited to College Green Nursery last Thursday as a visiting author/illustrator to share my children's books and storytelling with the children and was very impressed by the warm reception of very friendly staff led by the Headteacher and particularly by Nawal Filali Naji the facilitator of my visit. I was most impressed by just how settled and happy the new intake of 4 year olds were, and their enthusiasm for participation and learning. It is likely down to what I think I detect as the Nursery's environment of structured pastoral care and love.”

“Fantastic School. A friendly happy welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. This school provides an excellent education from early years through to year 6. The staff are experienced, motivated and knowledgeable and provide a high standard of teaching, strong in the Arts and Sciences. Situated right in the heart of Kings Cross, the school takes advantage of being close to major scientific institutions (the Crick Institute), a technology giant (Google), the British Library and the Inns of Court. The school doesn't rest on its laurels and has a number of exciting developments coming soon.”

“If you want your child nurtured, looked after, encouraged to grow and learn in a safe and secure environment, Kintore Way is all of this and much, much more. Having had 3 children attend, over a total period of 12 years, we could not be happier with the care they have all received alongside the invaluable support and advice that we as parents have received over the years from all of the staff, from nappy training to food fussiness, their advice is always well informed and offered both freely and kindly. In terms of continuity, we are amazed that many of the staff caring for our 2 year old daughter today, are the same staff who looked after our (almost) 13 year old son from the age of 7 months in the baby unit (now closed). This is a clear indication, in an industry renowned for a high turnover of staff, that this is good place to work, that staff enjoy caring for the children, take immense pride in the huge roles that they play in the children’s development and also that management understand the value of this team, that they support and encourage them. This comes across in the welcoming friendly atmosphere that is always present at Kintore Way. The facilities are secure, spotlessly clean and well maintained, the garden area is always used to its full potential, the children have a wide choice of activities to undertake both indoors and outdoors and are encouraged to do so. Any achievements , however big or small, are praised and always recognised. My daughter loves it as much today as her brothers did 13 years and 7 years ago, it’s part of our family story, even I attended nearly 4 decades ago! I could go on……. but in summary, if you are looking for an amazing nursery, with the most caring, loving, encouraging and professional staff, who take pride in their role nurturing and preparing your child for the next step of their journey into education, primary school, you’ve found it.”

“Home of Hope Church Mitcham ! Sundays at 3:30pm will never be the same ! Check it out !”

“I’ve been coming here for the last 16 years with all of my children. It has definitely got better over the years. The new under 3 area is fantastic, it’s very sensory with some great light features. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly. It is only suited for under 10’s, however they do have a SEN session for 12 and under on a Saturday. It’s great for birthday parties too and the birthday hosts are great fun.”

“This was my old school 1964 - 1971 the boys play ground was on the left at the end of the long drive and girls and juniors to the left my wost teachers were from class 7 -9 but at class 10 Mr Williams was my best teacher this school had its mini swimming pool to the rear of the dinning area in the boys playground and still had bomb shelters Beside the play ground happy memories”

“At was my school last year at I miss all my best teaches Karim”

“A wonderful nursery. Our son has been at fernbank for 3 years now and has yet to have a bad day! Extremely dedicated staff and great learning and play environment..”

“Such a great class! Julia is so lovely and my baby loved every session - we went for a full year. More affordable/accessible than lots of other classes out there and I met some really nice other mums/babies too. Would highly recommend!”

“Our adventure with Monkey Music started a few years back when I was looking for something to do with my older daughter, that would be entertaining but educational same time. Right now all 3 of my children are attending the classes and I can't praised it enough. The classes are always fun but if you want to see a real benefits of Monkey Music I recommend that you attend it for as long as possible. After a while you will notice you child being more and more confident, getting to know all the songs and moves. You will be amazed how the classes develop your child speech (a case with one of my twins), memory, they will learn a lot of things about music as well as counting, colors, time, how to read music. They will learn about different instruments, how you play them, how do they sound like etc. each term there are new songs/activities.The staff is always very friendly and professional. And to sum it up it is even very educational for us - parents as I learned a lot about music myself :)”

“My children have attended many Sporty Kids camps and birthday parties over the years and they have had an absolute blast. Ellie and her team are amazing and know how to keep the kids moving and entertained. Holiday camps can be extremely expensive, especially when you have more than one child. Sporty Kids is the most reasonably priced camp in the area and the best value for money. You know when you leave your children with them, that they are in good hands and will be well cared for. I highly recommend Sporty Kids!”

“Loved going here once a week when my daughter was a toddler. The frog Prince sings all your favourite songs, old McDonald, wheels on bus etc. A great hour spent once a week.”

“My 5 year old had a fantastic gymnastics and trampolining party with Pointers. All the children really enjoyed the party, with so many activities to have a go at; fun games on the trampolines and lots of different bar and beam activities. Organisation was straightforward and very clear, Highly recommend.”

“Having had one of my sons attend Park lane children centre I had no doubt to take my second child there, The Staff are very kind, caring & thoughtful, always greeting children with a smile on their faces. Facilities are clean and set up as a welcoming. They have a spacious outdoor play area where children happily roam at outdoor and Inside has plenty of space as well and is set up thoughtfully for different focus areas of play and learning, catering to the range of ages in nursery. The staff always around the children giving lots of positive attention. My eldest son left well prepared & confident for Reception; now it’s time for my little one, he loves it already..I highly recommend Park Lane Children Centre.”

“This centre was and continues to be fantastic support for our family. I was saddened to hear that the services were reduced to to cuts :( Staff are fantastic and v knowledgeable.”

“Wonderful and quiet children's center.”

“As a teacher, I loved working on this platform and introducing my students to opera. Thank you CAK !”

“Dr Erskine- my 3rd cesarean section, high risk with previous issues. By far the best recovery and experience for me throughout. She is amazing, highly recommend. Thank you”

“Kish is my daughter’s second home and she is looking forward to going in every day. The kids have space to run around, roll in mud and explore the way kids should. As a picky parent I can comfortably say that Kish provides the highest standard of care, teaches important values and guides the children to become the most wonderful humans every child has the potential to be.”

“I have sent both of my daughters to Happy Days and they have absolutely loved it. Maria, who runs the nursery, creates a totally free and safe space for the children to develop and thrive. They both gained so much confidence and learned lots of skills, plus there are always lots of imaginative and interesting activities for the children to do. Very caring and attentive staff. Recommend highly.”

“I had some issues with subscription. I contacted the service team via WhatsApp. They gave me feedback immediately and kept me updated on each stage. The problem was solved with one hour. Very happy with their service. My 9-year-old son really loves the app.”

“Ringrose is absolutely outstanding; both of my children had a wonderful time here, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I looked around all the nurseries in Chelsea and South Kensington, and Ringrose stood out because of the holistic nature of the experience offered: not only does it offer a fantastically nurturing and warm environment for little ones to flourish, but academically it is rigorous and gives children a great head start when they begin at school as the children are taught phonics very thoroughly indeed and are able to read to a high standard when the leave. St Luke’s Hall is airy, spacious and light, and they have St Luke’s gardens and football pitches on their doorstep so there is plenty of space for them to roam around and enjoy their weekly Playball lessons. I really appreciated the flexibility offered - afternoon sessions are optional, and that is unusual as most nurseries require full day attendance during the second year. The Christmas and summer term productions were always a total delight. Above all, the staff are, without exception, friendly, kind, warm and extremely experienced, and I always felt that I was leaving my children in the most capable hands: both of my children would skip in without a backward glance. Over the past four years my children and I have made some incredible friendships; there is a great community spirit amongst the parent body. I am sad that our time at Ringrose has now come to an end, but I shall cherish the happy memories and continue to recommend it unreservedly to any prospective parents.”

“I toured ten nurseries before I found FRS Kindergarten and knew I didn’t need to look anywhere else. The teachers are so caring and responsive to children’s needs and interests. Just in the past week, activities have included building airports and going on ‘holiday’ with friends/relatives from Uganda, Hong Kong, Russia, South Africa talking to them on zoom or in the huge nursery garden about their home towns around the world, plus the children have been cooking dishes from around the world , learning music, and sports. It’s a Jewish nursery but not exclusively so and the families come from a huge range of backgrounds and locations. It’s small, nurturing, very outdoorsy, super covid safe, which we as a family were particularly worried about. The nursery accepts children from 2 and I couldn’t recommend it more! My two eldest have been and currently attend and my baby will as soon as she’s old enough!”
