Community support programs in Croydon

“I started going to this club when I was 10 years old (nearly 15 years ago) and it's still the best exercise club I've ever been to - there's something for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Classes are fun and varied, with a really supportive atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to boost their confidence, improve their fitness or just try something new.”

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

“Never liked talking my problems out always bottled stuff up. Self medicated, thought I knew best. It doesn't work trust me. Just try talking to a stranger, it does help. Found it very helpful just unloading a few problems, small steps. worth giving it a go.”

“My kids love it here !! If you want to dance in a bedroom or around the world this is the place to go !! Caters for lots of styles and all abilities from ballet to breakdance and streetdance crews that are amazing - friendly fun teachers who bring the best out in every individual.”

“I'll be there for 4th year. The college is great and helped me a lot even mentally!”

“Lovely teachers and best school trips”

“Great support and a friendly welcoming atmosphere”

“I have been visiting Centred Health for many years, and would highly recommend Sia. She has treated me for lots of different issues from fertility, to back issues and even stress. Every treatment has resulted in a positive outcome. She is very insightful and manages to pinpoint the issue every time even when it may not be obvious. And the needles don’t hurt at all (for anyone who is anxious about this).”

“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.”

“Thank you to all the staff at the Family Centre in New Addington. Our event went incredibly well and we were delighted with the refreshments provided. The warm welcome and great service are a credit to you and StartUp Croydon would recommend this as a venue to be considered by anyone wishing to hold an informal meeting or event. We will most certainly be booking with you again when we hold our next round of roadshows later this year.”

“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 can’t speak highly enough of BlueDental in South Croydon. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re made to feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. My dentist is not only incredibly skilled and professional but also one of the kindest and most compassionate people I’ve ever met. She takes time to explain everything, puts you completely at ease, and always goes the extra mile to ensure your experience is as stress-free as possible. The entire team at BlueDental is a reflection of the same high standards—friendly, attentive, and committed to patient care. I’ve been to many dentists over the years, but none compare to this practice. Without a doubt, the best dental care I’ve ever received. Highly recommended! Paul”

“Hi, My Name is Abdirashid SHEIKH one of your student. I would like to write a comment about Mark Horvath, Student Support Officer, he's very helpful person, this is my second year of this University and he's always there for the students and I have seen that all the time he's availability for everyone. I will send this comment to let you know someone like Mark they deserve higher positions in the Management.”

“Front desk staff Funto and Chantel went above and beyond helping me get settled and feel comfortable in the building when I had some issues with the move! They made sure I felt welcomed and handled the situation amazingly.”

“Very nice place I was going there for my indoor training sessions and completely loved it.”

“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.”

“I go to this school and it is the best! #Fairfieldhouse”

“Attending MK dance is a great way to build confidence and meet new people. New to dance as an adult can be daunting, but dancing through MK takes this away, they welcome dancers of all ages, experienced and non experienced. I have learnt the art of ballet and tap and love ever minute of it! The teachers are amazing, very welcoming and friendly and draw out the talent in every dancer in the class.”

“My twins attended Wiz-kids this Easter break as I am training locally. They absolutely loved it. The staff are caring, fun loving and professional, making my children feel welcome and safe. I am so impressed.”

“Friendliest and most caring lady working there. Let me sit down and have tap water without buying anything, very genuine and compassionate. When I returned later it was wonderful, had a lovely flat white and just read. Family atmosphere without being too loud. Small and quaint, not impersonal and is very welcoming”

“My three girls absolutely love coming to kids vogue stars and I love them going also knowing they are well looked after and safe, they offer so many fun activities for all to enjoy. See you again soon kids vogue stars”

“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!”

“I feel bad for the staff that work here. They have redbull cans locked up, packets of chicken breast locked up. Wine locked up. The staff here that deal with this on a day to day basis need a raise.”

“Great school and staff 1975-1981”

“I’ve seen this company grow and go from strength to strength over the years. James and is an asset to the enterprise and his team have become solid pillars of the community helping people achieve their potential. Highly recommended and trustworthy.”

“I think the classes are really good. All the coaches are very professional and very dynamic. I absolutely love the spin classes. I have been to many other providers in London and these spin classes are the best in my opinion. I like that the atmosphere is so supportive between members too, it just feels good to be in those classes. Maybe the gym area is a bit small, I do not use the changing rooms as I live nearby. I am yet to go to the swimming pool.”
