Childrens learnings in Croydon

“Great staff, l remember when my baby got his BCG , it was a cold and rainy day but it ended up being a good day for my baby and l , the place was conducive for breastfeeding and relaxing and the staff were all so nice ,my baby was still a newborn and l was exhausted but that day my energy was boosted and made me more confident of going out and wanting to attend more class.”

“I go here for church grace assembly it's called on Fridays at 8pm, and Sundays from 11 am x a real blessing x”

“A perfect place for both parents and children”

“Lovely music school and amazing teachers. I really liked the way the course is built up to engage students and increase their confidence, at a good, steady pace. My daughter loves attending the classes. The teachers are very knowledgeable and finding different ways to support parents.”

“Excellent dance school with very professional teachers, love the fact they run events like dance competitions, charity dance shows and IDTA dance exams.”

“I have been working at Purley Oaks for over 10 years now as a class teacher , both in Year One and Reception. I can honestly say that I love it here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming . We all help each other out no matter what year group we are in or what job role we have - we are a great team! I was advised when I was an NQT to keep moving to different schools but I really don’t want to be anywhere else! In Reception we are a fantastic team and work very closely together. We have such fun and it is amazing to see the children progress throughout the year. I feel that in Early Years we give children a great start to their learning careers!”

“Omg the best nursery the staff everything about this nursery is beyond.... Is very good. Is a best start for u child”

“Lovely teachers and best school trips”

“I was initially concerned when my child was transferred to the school, especially after reading some negative reviews and considering its distance from my home. However, I soon realized that many of those reviews were misleading. The school is outstanding in every aspect. The discipline is strong, and all children are treated with care and respect. The meals are delicious and impressive, with the thoughtful addition of offering bagels in the morning. Very touching! The headteacher, Mrs. Edmonds, comes across as both professional and caring, and all the teachers and assistants are highly responsible and attentive to the children’s needs. It’s clear they put in a lot of effort. My child, who started in P1 after moving from Scotland, has been very happy here, even after just a few weeks. The after-school club is excellent too, with friendly staffs,and my child absolutely loves the meals it offers! Shamed I have to transfer her to another school only because it is too far from where I live. Both me and the child feel very sad about leaving minister infant school.”

“An absolutely brilliant nursery with lovely staff who toke amazing care of of the children. We have sent both of our 2 daughters to Tunstall Nursery over the last 5 years and have been super happy with it. From day one we knew it was a safe loving place to leave our kids. If there were more stars than 5 to leave I would leave more!”

“Excellent place for children. Friendly and hard-working staff. Children seem happy and active! Highly recommended.”

“I saw Dev yesterday and he was amazing, funny and kind. Really enjoyed the appointment to be honest and wish I had more hearing problems to go back again, but unfortunately I can here completely fine thanks to him. I really do recommend to whoever needs this service as they are all so friendly and accommodating.”

“Gordon was fantastic from start to finish. We were let down by the original entertainer we had booked for my daughter’s 5th birthday on the morning of the party - Gordon was recommended to us and a couple of hours later was at our house and put on a fabulous show. The children were aged 2 to 5 years, and all were captivated - we were so impressed by both the magic and his lovely manner with the children. Thank you Gordon for saving the party!”

“Love simply kids for wraparound care and holiday clubs. The team behind this business truly care for your children and go above and beyond. They are a special bunch.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“My son is half way through his first term at Great Waves Kenley. He has made excellent progress learning to swim each week. He is given lots of attention and direction, and the wonderful instructors are patient and encouraging. We will be signing up our youngest child very soon. Thank you Great Waves!”

“This nursery is the best by far. My little girl has been attending Little Elms, Shirley for almost 5 months and she has such a great time. The staff are very caring and affectionate towards my little girl needs!”

“Best nursery ever! I had a very bad experience with the first nursery my son went to, when we arrived at gingerbread within the first week my son loved it!!!! It was so nice to leave him in the morning smiling and sure he will have a good time! The staff is amazing and very friendly. Kids have so many toys to play with and all the activities are fun. I will definitely recommend gingerbread! Thank you for everything ❤️”

“Two of my children attend here one in baby room and one in pre-school and I have had no issues, I am really happy with the care given to my children and the communication I receive. Both my children love the staff, are well-settled and looked after. I have a very good relationship with the managers who always accomodate my requests. I am pleased with this nursery and would recommend it to others :)”

“My son started Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery at 8 months old, i was so nervous when I first started looking for nursery’s, so I could plan to return back to work. I viewed so many nursery’s in the area, Abbey Wood Grange day nursery had something over them all, for me it was the attention to detail & care from staff. On my viewing with Lisa she was so welcoming, enthusiastic and had a real sense of care. lisa knew all the children’s names when we entered the rooms. Staff was all friendly an engaged with all the children. Staff are all so friendly & welcoming, my son settled in really quickly and formed great bonds. He really loves being at nursery and gets all excited when we arrive. I get regular updates daily in his book from the day & updates on the tapestry app showing observations & his development. I honestly couldn't be more happier with the level of service from the nursery & staff at abbey wood. I know his well looked after, It really is a lovely nursery. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to put their baby or child into a nursery.”

“I had they greatest time of my life there”

“Lovely play cafe.. there are 2 different soft play area for kids to play in… Have never seen my 13 month old enjoy his day this much. It wasn’t too busy too which I like because my child can easily get overstimulated sometimes. Very attentive staff too. I forgot to ask for her name but we will defo come back more often for sure x”

“Great place with very accommodating staff who pre-warned us the kids may not be able to manage the Junior karts & made sure they took it seriously. We took 3x 8 year olds for a birthday outing, they all had a fantastic time & luckily did manage for their 1st time! All good kit supplied & easily accessible from the tram. Only small downside was the ladies & gents toilets that could do with improving/clean as lots of cobwebs & a bit grimy, but it had all the basic facilities needed.”

“My son attended this preschool since he was 3 year old until school age. I can't describe in my words how greatful I am to all the staff for what they have done for my son. They were caring, understanding and loving. My son tried 2 nurseries before and wouldn't settle in, so I asked the predchool manager for longer settling in period. They understood and allowed my son to take his time. They encouraged him to develop at his own pace, provided interesting resources and activities ans were there for him when he needed help. The preschool is substantially staffed. My son made his first friendships here. He continues seeing his preschool friends at church. It's nice to be part of the community. The preschool teachers are well experienced in special needs and have understanding, and can provide support.”
