Child development courses in London

“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”

“Gets the job done, If you can attend lessons and actually do the work then bobs your uncle. Was skeptical before joining myself but realistically they are open because they produce real Btec results so you can expect a good education.”

“Our son has been at Home from Home for a year now, and we’ve been really happy with the care and support he’s received. He’s developed such a lovely bond with the staff, who are always nurturing and genuinely care about him and all the children in their care. Since joining, we’ve seen him grow so much in confidence, which is a real testament to the warm and encouraging environment the team creates. The staff are always coming up with creative, engaging activities, and we love that the children are regularly out and about in the community. Imagination, fun, and kindness are clearly at the heart of everything they do, and we’re so grateful to everyone at Home from Home for helping our son thrive.”

“We absolutely loved Nathalie’s sensory classes and always looked forward to our Thursday mornings. The sessions are so thoughtfully designed and perfectly tuned into babies’ development. The quality of the resources and the care that goes into each themed session is truly incredible. Starting when my baby was just 3–4 months old gave me so much confidence as a new mum, and it was so lovely to connect with other mums along the way. Nathalie creates such a warm, welcoming space, we couldn’t recommend these classes enough.”

“We absolutely love the Little Gym in Wandsworth! The instructors are amazing—not only do they focus on teaching movement skills, but they also give individual care and attention to both my 2-year-old and 5-year-old boys. It’s such a joy to see how much they enjoy practicing and gaining self-confidence here, and they look forward to coming every weekend! The teachers and staff are all so friendly, professional, and welcoming. It’s a fantastic environment for kids to have fun.”

“My daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now when she was 11 months old and I always find her cheerful there - it feels like a second home to her. I would like to say this is one of the best childcare centres in this area. I was very skeptical initially as a mum to leave my daughter the whole day (10hours). All the staff members Veerpal, Dale, Shazia, Tahira, etc including the head teacher Himanshu are so nurturing, supportive, caring, attentive, kind and helpful to her as well as the other babies. I have always found the key worker Veerpal to be very communicative about my daughter's progress (including the online updates about her progress) and the way she allowed my daughter to take her time to settle in. Whenever I needed any kind of adjustments the whole staff including admin team was always supportive and efficient. The staff do invest a lot of time, effort and patience to allow babies to explore and be independent. I was surprised when I saw my daughter wanting to drink water/milk in a cup on her own without spilling, Building sand castles, messy plays, spending a good amount of time daily in the garden, allowing babies to make individual decisions, making shapes out of play dough, exploring natural materials and nature, singing various rhymes and describing the characters from the story, etc They do have a lot of extra activities for kids accompanied by parents. A yearly outdoor (farm) trip for the kids and parents. Visits to religious places accompanied by parents, obstacle course, etc I have seen a lot of improvements and her skills being enhanced each time. I would highly recommend the Grove house infant centre to anyone looking for a childcare / nursery in the area.”

“My daughter did the summer holiday club to perform Moana in a week. Was the first time for her, she absolutely loved it! Teachers were really lovely, I was amazed what they achieved in a week.”

“They are so good staff and clean place for kids”

“My toddler enjoyed his first formal sport lesson at the centre. Beautiful provision and lovely staff.”

“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.”

“A lovely children’s centre with a beautifully designed play room and has great learning opportunities for different ages. There are a range of different areas for play such as small world, role play, reading areas, arts & crafts, sensory & music and also equipment for physical development, allowing children to thrive in all areas of learning. The staff are very attentive, supportive and welcoming. They are always smiling which is reassuring for children, especially those who are new to the setting!”

“We have a fantastic day in the children's centre. I booked place for my boys for the Easter event. It was amazing. So much activities. My small boys are 5,6 years old. They enjoy every minute of the event. Thank you so much for organising it. It was amazing.”

“Amazing place for under 5s. Lots of outdoor space and really well set up for children to explore and play. Staff is lovely and well trained for child-led play. Developmentally, my kids have hit so many milestones thanks to playgroups here and I have grown as well as a parent joining in to play with them.”

“Thank you for all QSE staff and especially Uncle who supported incredibly in my son’s toughest journey through his 11 plus exams. Truly without you this would have not been possible. Uncle is a wonderful teacher and my son thoroughly enjoyed his classes and admired him a lot! My son excelled with success and got in to the school of his first choice out of many offers he had.This success is dedicated to you guys! All thanks to member of staff especially Mrs Mayura and Miss Emily who has been greatest support for us all through our journey. Really appreciate everything you did for us especially our son! I would recommend this place to any kid who are sitting for 11 plus both grammar and independent schools as this is the place with less stress and more success! Many Thanks again xx”

“This place and it's staff, are genuinely amazing. They provide an excellent service, maintain a caring and nurturing environment and really care about what they do. They treat the kids like extended family, and my kids adore being there.”

“Great initiative. My daughter always comes home happy and full of stories of what she has gotten up to. ;-)”

“Very friendly staff and midwives. Had an excellent experience throughout my pregnancy.”

“Me and my sons love going to Danson Children's centre. There is a great range of activities at reason's prices for different age groups and also over the holidays. The booking system is fairly easy to use. The staff are friendly and welcoming and are always willing to help me with the twins! Would highly recommend to any parents.”

“Kindred Nursery has consistently exceeded my expectations in every way. My daughter is having an exceptional experience there. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and always receptive and supportive with all enquiries. She looks forward to going each morning, and I've noticed significant improvements in her education. I highly recommend Kindred Nursery for its excellent environment and dedicated team.”

“One of the best school in Harrow very nice teachers”

“We love our swimming lessons with aquatots! The progress our daughter has made since beginning at 10 weeks has been incredible and every lesson is so much fun! We have the confidence to take our daughter swimming knowing that she is safe and love seeing her confidence grow too!”

“Great helpful health advisors. Really caring staff.”

“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.”

“Fantastic makaton training received at this site shame to see the nursery closed”
