Creative activities in London

“My son went to PlayDays nursery and Ms Kerry and her team have took care of him really well for the last 6 months. My son joined the nursery when he was around 8 months old, with the team doing a home visit to introduce themselves to my son and performed a detailed profiling of his likes and dislikes and daily routine. During the first day of the settling I still remember that the key teacher started to introduce him to the new friends and toys and gradually make him feel more comfortable. The settling sessions were really good to slowly step up with the hours per day, which helps with the separation anxiety for first time parents. My son started off crying whenever we dropped him off and slowly he progressed to waving bye to me after a couple of weeks, which gave me the comfort that he’s enjoying himself there. The staffs were really enthusiastic and seems very passionate about giving the best they could for the babies. They take them out for walks, create art pieces with them, did lots of fun play, take lots of photos and share with us about their growth, they hand write daily journals and note down all the big moments that we may have missed and keep us updated everyday about the fun they had. There are of course days that my son is unwell and they really put in the effort to take extra care and follow our instructions to them closely and give us timely feedback. We truly appreciate all the work that they done for us!”

“Friendly, great education, fantastic food, lovely rooms. Our daughter loves it and we feel confident dropping her everyday. Thank you to everyone”

“I was able to spend an hour in the nursery this morning starting the settling in process for our second child at WPD, with our eldest about to move off into Reception at a local primary school. We feel very lucky to have found such a welcoming, safe and caring environment for our children. The staff are all gems and seem to love having fun with the children; our daughter will miss them all very much!”

“Highly recommend Le Chien - hector went for his first groom today and they’ve done a fantastic job. Booked in again in 8 weeks time”

“Paula and the team were absolutely amazing with our new boy! He is very anxious as recently rehomed with us and was very scruffy and matted after being in kennels. After his groom looked like a different dog! And he was very bouncy and happy so they'd clearly made him feel at ease, and even managed to get all the problem areas! Completely amazing! Definitely our go to for all grooming needs! Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable as well.”

“I almost never write reviews, but Trio Cafe is so good! I always get the Turkish breakfast or fry up, my wife loves their omelette and jacket potato. Great value and flavours, food is ready fast. Neigbourhoodly vibe. Employees are kind and efficient.”

“Best coffee in Morden! Prices are quite high, but they offer oat milk for free and a discount for a reusable cup. The staff are very nice, too.”

“We celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday with a small soft play, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue, the private space, and the service were all fantastic! Everyone had a great time, and the team provided amazing service! Thank you ”

“My daughter really loved and enjoyed every sessions with Leyton. His so amazing throughout the journey for my daughter development, confident, acting etc. It was brilliant. Well recommended.”

“Brilliant idea, fantastic service with helpful volunteers. Love coming here!”

“A Perfect Park for All Ages! This park is an absolute gem! It offers something for everyone, making it a fantastic destination for families, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors. The playground is well-designed and safe, making it a great spot for children to have fun, while the football area is perfect for sports enthusiasts looking to play a match or practice. One of the highlights is the lovely coffee shop, which provides a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages to relax and enjoy a great selection of drinks and snacks. What truly sets this park apart is the beautiful, expansive walking paths that allow you to explore nature at its finest. Whether you prefer a peaceful stroll or a longer walk, the scenery is breathtaking, with lush greenery and fresh air that makes every visit a refreshing experience. Overall, this park is a wonderful place to spend time, stay active, and enjoy nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a perfect balance of relaxation and recreation!”

“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!”

“My mother and I did the pottery wheel experience for her 75th birthday! We had a lovely time, Janet was very patient in explaining all the techniques to us and showed us each step of the pot making process. We both loved it! Thank you”

“Great place to bring your little ones for activities and health clinics. Friendly staff, varied schedule.”

“Absolutely wonderful place for my baby, staff are so welcoming and approachable, resources are great too! My favourite in Hillingdon!!”

“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.”

“Recently had a screening at Close-up. Jake and the team took great care of us and we had a wonderful day there. Booking process and communication was clear and quick. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a great cinema.”

“This is an outstanding place. You really feel like watching movies at home.”

“My 4 year old have acquired vital skills, including social interaction and foundational literacy and numeracy, from an early age. I wholeheartedly endorse this nursery for parents looking for a reliable and enriching early educational experience for their kids.”

“Arthur absolutely loves going to nursery, all the staff are so lovely and friendly! Would highly recommend ☺️”

“We came across chickywicks by pure chance but immediately fell in love with its homley,loving, caring environment and staff. After our daughter not settling at her previous nursery it was a huge nerve racking step to try again with chickywicks. Our daughter settled immediately we could not believe how happy she went in after how stressful things had been previously. Not only did the chickywicks team make Ada feel completely secure and happy but they also made a very anxious mum feel exactly the same. Every member of staff go above and beyond to make sure any concern or worry was just immediately forgotten. I truly believe that every single one of the team feel passionately about meeting every child's individual needs. Every member of the team are always so friendly and welcoming they not only cared for Ada but they all knew her personality inside out, they always knew at drop off if Ada was having a wobble and made sure they were extra supportive which is exactly what Ada needed. Chickywicks really are just like one big family and although they gave Ada everything she needs to move on, as her parents we would have kept Ada at chickywicks forever! We were not ready for Adas chickywicks journey to end. So from the very bottom of our hearts thank you to all the team at Chickywicks. We will NEVER forget all you have done for Ada and you will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We cant actually put into words how much we would recommend this nursery.”

“What an amazing nursery. The staff are genuinely caring and kind, and their positivity is refreshing. From the first day they made our one and a half year old daughter feel comfortable and valued, and we are so grateful for the experience she’s had here. Every day our daughter comes home in a joyful mood and it’s clear that the nursery has had a positive impact on her development. We’ve noticed her confidence growing, along with new skills she’s picked up along the way. We didn’t know what to expect with the nursery experience as first time parents but, this nursery has far exceeded anything we could have hoped for. If it were possible, we would choose this staff to support and care for both of our daughters throughout their nursery experience. We highly recommend it to any family looking for an engaging and supportive environment for their child.”

“I have now been a student in Danceforce for over a year and I am so happy that I made the decision to move here when I did. I was greeted warmly from the first day of class and have enjoyed every lesson since then. Miss Lexie is incredibly hardworking and kind and has inspired me to think about teaching dance myself in the future. Miss Jennifer, Miss Christie and Miss Carol are all amazing teachers - my experiences in dance-force have really helped me grow as a person - and I couldn’t be more grateful. I could not recommend Dance force more to someone starting or moving to a new dance school. The sense of community is amazing and I genuinely look forward to coming to dance now. Thank you so much!”

“Our little child started nursery when he was 11months old and had a quite complex heart condition. The compassion and determination from the Boys and Girls Nursery Stanmore to cater for his complexities and ensure they could take our son on was brilliant. Even before he started they went over and beyond to speak to all of the healthcare professionals to ensure that they could fully cater for our sons needs. From Amy and Chloe and Sharon for all the admin things to get him over the line. From Rachel and team in nursery where they got him turning over (even though he was months delayed) to then crawling and walking. To then Lisa/ Amelia and team in pre-toddlers post his operations helping him build the strength to do all of the activities and become a chatter box. To then Sinead and team in toddlers to then prep him to join his new school. We cannot thank you all enough for your efforts, we as a family are truly grateful and happy that Boys and Girls Nursery was his first academic home.”

“This has been a brilliant nursery setting for our daughter who has attended since September. She has developed in so many ways since moving here. They do a great variety of activities with the children every day and personal development and challenges which she loves to help develop skills and confidence. I feel confident that on leaving here Emily will be perfectly ready for school with very fond memories of her time here and her teachers.”

“Great nursery. Facilitates are great, especially the big garden which has a climbing frame, fish pond, sandpit, guinea pigs. They even had incubated chicks earlier in the year. The staff are great and have been working there for years which is always a good sign. My daughter loves it.”

“A truly wonderful nursery. The environment is safe, clean, and full of enriching activities. The team keeps me updated regularly and genuinely care about the children. We’re so happy we chose Munchkinz! Munchkinz has been like a second home for my little one. The progress I’ve seen in their confidence, speech, and social skills is incredible. Thank you to all the lovely staff for your dedication!”

“My daughter has been in the Lodge since Jan and we couldn’t be happier. She has flourished in so many areas of development, especially her social skills being surrounded by caring nursery staff as well as other kids. We get great updates with so many photos which gives us so much comfort that my little one is enjoying her day. The environment is very homely with the staff knowing all the children and the owner, Natasha, making the effort to get to know the parents as well.. my daughter especially loves her key worker, Georgeta, who has helped her settle into nursery so well and kept us updated of all her key milestones at nursery”

“I attended the beginners painting course and had a wonderful time. The course tutors were brilliant, it was really fun and I’m excited to book another course soon. Highly recommend :)”

“Our daughter has been full time at Bumble Bees for 18 months and it is a truly wonderful nursery. She is surrounded by love and care and she has deep bonds with several of the staff. Since starting the pre-school group in September her development has been really noticeable. The activities are varied and interesting and our daughter relishes the learning. We feel very lucky to have found Bumble Bees and are grateful for the fabulous, professional and extremely kind staff. I wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to others.”
