“Learnt about this nursery by chance in the internet, and I couldn't feel happier of having done so. Despite that my daughter's mother tongue wasn't English, it was admirable to see how well she adapted, since the very first day! All thanks to the excellent team of professionals at Bees Knees, they've supported us whenever we've needed them. I absolutely recommend this nursery.”

“Top nursery. The staff and in particular, the management are amazing. So patient with the children and my son settled in really quickly. Highly recommend!”

“Our two sons are currently attending Playdays, in the baby room and in the preschool room. We are extremely happy with the nursery. The staff is very kind and caring and most of them have been around for many years which is great as a lot of nurseries nearby have a high staff turnover. The nursery is very well managed by Miss Kerry and everything runs smoothly. The children have the opportunity to do lots of activities (baby yoga, dance, french, swimming...) as well as regular trips to the park. We would 100% recommend this nursery to parents.”

“Two of my children have attended this nursery and both absolutely loved their experiences. Both developed strong bonds with the staff and my daughter currently attending just adores them and they have been a brilliant support in her care and development since she was 9 months old. Now that they have moved to a new premises the setting itself cannot be faulted, they have beautiful classrooms and an outside space that the children can run around and play which was the only downside with the old building.”

“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.”

“Misha is great with kids! She is professional, friendly and patient and made each session enjoyable and fun for my daughter. She really tackled my daughter's sound errors and made her progress through a tailor made plan to improve her vocabulary and speech. I'm so grateful for the confidence she built in my daughter, and I would highly recommend.”

“Our 7 year old daughter attended the British Alevi Federation’s summer SEN holiday camp and had such a positive experience. She was regulated and calm throughout, and we could see how happy and settled she felt in the environment. Camps like this are so rare, and in the past it has been a real struggle to find anything inclusive and supportive. As parents, it truly felt like a Godsend! We are so grateful to the team for organising it and for the care and thought that went into it. We will be booking for the October half term and truly hope this provision will always be available for SEN children. Heartfelt thanks for making such a difference.”

“We booked Joe for our school Halloween Disco and my word he did not disappoint! Super easy to work with and plan the event, and then the quality of service throughout the 2 hour set was top drawer. Kids and parents were absolutely blown away!”

“Words cannot fully express our gratitude to St. Panteleimon Nursery. A heartfelt thank you from our entire family for the love and care you've shown to our beloved child (Viaan Gupta). Your warmth and welcoming nature have meant so much to both us as parents and our child. The staff have been incredibly supportive, and our child has loved every moment, taking their first steps towards independence. You were always there whenever we needed help, support, or advice, and always with a smile and kindness. We knew the nursery had an outstanding rating by Ofsted, and now we truly understand why. Our son has learned so much and had a wonderful experience at nursery. A special thank you to Ms. Andri Kyriakidou, Anjal Ahluwalia, Neha Vekariya, Khloe Barton, and Mr. Christos Kyriakidis for all that you've done for my child (Viaan Gupta) ! Thank you! :)”

“The best Montessori nursery I ever found in London. Authentic Montessori, beautifull and nurturing environment. The owner and the teachers are kind, professional and very supportive to the children's development. They understand & apply true Montessori, as well as EYFS. The children really get good education and good care in this school.”

“"I recently completed all of my electrical qualifications at Cranbrook College, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. Teachers were highly knowledgeable, supportive, and brought real industry experience into the classroom, which made the learning practical and engaging. The facilities were excellent, with well-equipped workshops that allowed me to gain plenty of hands-on experience alongside the theory. The course structure was clear and well-paced, ensuring I built strong foundations before progressing to more advanced topics. What stood out most was the level of support and guidance I received throughout my journey—from enrolment to completing my final qualification. The staff were approachable and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Thanks to [Cranbrook College, I now feel fully prepared and confident to take on my career as a qualified electrician in the UK. I would highly recommend this college to anyone looking to pursue a career in the electrical industry."”

The Busen team have been really helpful throughout. The space really great, there is a good selection of equipment. The space is always clean and well maintained.

“My son loved your Football Festival yesterday thanks so much! He also really enjoys his weekly training sessions with you. His confidence has grown massively and it’s great that they can all have so much fun on a Friday evening. Carlos and the coaching team are brilliant - professional and encouraging and always have time for a laugh too. Sandra is super organised - the comms from her are always clear and we always get a really warm welcome. Can’t recommend these sessions enough - book your child in NOW!!”

“If you’re thinking of trying pole you should absolutely do it!! Did the 6 week beginners course and I wasn’t particularly fit beforehand but everyone was so lovely and you build up strength really quickly! My trainer, Jai, was incredibly lovely and encouraging! Had the best time and will definitely be back!”

“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.”

“We chose Hancock's to help us with our wedding bands. The whole experience was so professional, and great value for money considering the final products and the service we received. We were expertly guided through the whole process and really felt looked after. We had two wedding rings made for our big day. The team at Hancock's helped us decide on the style and stones, politely managed our expectations on manufacturing timelines and we’ve been delighted with our rings ever since. Top customer service and great jewelry workmanship. Highly recommend.””

“Had a fantastic time yesterday getting tattooed by Frank( a true gentleman). Everyone there were really friendly and welcoming. I took my own design and Frank adapted it perfectly for me. All other tattoos I saw were great. Get yourself booked in you will not be disappointed. Thank you for everything. Jason.”

“Great service. Tooth extraction went smooth and with no complication. Would Def. Recomend.”

“After trying a few places with my 2 year old son, who hated having his hair cut.. we came here and Michael has been absolutely brilliant with my son. Patient, kind and understanding what my boy can cope with. I cannot thank you enough for being so good. And I don't freak out at the thought of getting my boys hair cut now! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,”

“Went for an amazing Jazz Gig - well done this venue for booking such a class act. Great staff in the cafe as well.”

“Great place for music practice or recording it also features a great and safe place for young people to play during after school clubs and it features only young women's day on Mondays after school hours!”

“Wow! Come and see Scrooge, put on by the University students! You will not be disappointed! The talent of the young people involved was phenomenal! Singing, dancing and acting in various roles. Wow get a ticket whilst you can!”

“We absolutely love the whippersnappers Christmas and fairy land and have taken our children several times. Always so magical with such attention to detail - such a joy to be part of.”

“Eastbury farm school is a place where my 3 children feel safe. It's a place where the teaching is second to none. The dedication of the new head Miss Workman and her leadership team is refreshing and I can only see things improving here. The recent results are proof of that. I love the school and everything about it, from the well mannered children to the lovely playground atmosphere. Not to mention the fabulous fundraisers! Don't let the Ofsted report put you off. Come and see the school and speak to the staff parents and children and then make your choice. It will be well worth it.”
