Creative activities in London

“Really happy with the way my daighter Isabelle developed in all aspects. She made friends, she loves her teachers. The reception and management is also great, responsive and they don t put money first but the child wellbeing. Adapting easily to child needs and always provide a daily report. Very transparent and professional. Food is also great, many healthy and diverse choices, also i love the fact there are many events, we as parents take part too ( stay and play, macmillan breakfast etc) . Thank you team”

“Our daughter has had the best 2 years at Willows Hammersmith and we will have the fondest of memories from her time there. The staff have been tremendous throughout and there is a great atmosphere around the nursery. Blenda and her team do a fantastic job and we wish them all the very best for the future, thank you!”

“Our daughter has been going to Minis since she was 1 year old and she really loves it there! It is amazing to see how many things she has learnt the past 2.5 years and how the team in every room (but especially in Toddlers and Tots) have helped her to build up her confidence!! All the staff here are very helpful, supportive and paying close attention to children's needs. I also like the fact that every day they are doing plenty of indoor and outdoor activities - 2 walks weather permitted - and kids seem to really enjoy it there!! We highly recommend Millenium Minis!!”

“Monira is an outstanding (and award winning!) childminder and we feel very lucky to have been able to have our son attend her setting from 9 months - and soon his sibling will also be attending. The setting provides safe and professional care, and a loving family atmosphere in which all the current kids are thriving. Monira is a child whisperer, adored by all the kids and always thinking of interesting new activities for them and how best to help the older kids learn new skills. Recommended without hesitation.”

“I am very happy with the care my daughter receives at Liz Daycare Centre .The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, which makes us feel confident leaving her each day. She has settled in well, enjoys the activities, and has shown noticeable progress in her social and communication skills. We really appreciate the regular updates and the welcoming environment. Thank you for all that you do. at the nursery.”

“Lovely beads shop ! And plenty of wonderful jewelry too (bought cute one with duck too for my husband) :) There’s seating outside so you could make some beads on a lovely street. P.S. Made a gift for my sister for her new phone”

“We attended a bottomless brunch at this venue and were thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food, which was of a high standard. The menu offered excellent variety and well-considered options. Drinks were generously served, and the service throughout was exceptional—prompt and attentive, with both food and beverages arriving without delay. Overall, it represented excellent value for money. We look forward to returning.”

“iced macchiato and a galette complète, it doesn’t get better than this (on this side of the english channel!!)”

“I have been coming here with my two little boys for the last 2 years. They love it and so do we! Staff have always been amazing and so good with the kids, space is lovely c always clean and lovely toys. Great coffee! And it’s the perfect size so you can get a few mins to have your coffee in peace as you can always see where they are . Couldn’t recommend high enough for a morning or afternoon out with your little ones !”

“Aysel and the team organised my daughter's 6th birthday party. Extremely professional, patient, organised and thorough. The team showed up promptly for venue set up and 2 onside managers made sure the party ran like a military operation. I will certainly be using them again and highly recommend the same of you!”

“A fun, interactive space to climb, run, jump and explore everything that a plant needs to grow. Based in a natural setting the size of 40 tennis courts, children can explore all the things plants need to grow in our Children's Garden, designed for children from 2 to 12 years old. Over 100 mature trees are spread over this beautiful landscape, with hidden treasures and adventures around every corner, leading to a 4m high canopy walk wrapped around a 200-year-old oak in the heart of the Children's Garden. No pre-booking required – all visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the day until one hour before the Gardens close.”

“I attended as an active participiant in a session of "If Poets Ruled the World"”

“I can’t thank you enough! My little son had his 4th birthday with Bertie and Boo yesterday and it was just wonderful! So stress free, the staff is very attentive and takes care of everything! Children loved all the activities and the magic show was a great hit! All the staff is clearly enjoying their job, they were wonderful with the kids. Birthday Boy felt very special. We will probably come back next year for another one as it just can’t get better!”

“Went for a children's parkour class. Very clean building with lots of space. Reception was very helpful and polite and the hall we were in was spacious with a store room for sports equipment.”

“We had my daughters 1st birthday party here a few weeks ago and everything was organised for us, from the decor, to the food, the invitations and the party bags. All we had to do was provide a cake. The food for the kids were a bit basic and there wasn't much choice but this was not a huge problem. The staff were friendly and welcoming, they had communicated everything with me before hand via email (very responsive) so we pretty much knew what to expect. Everything was organised well on the day and they fulfilled any requests I had. Nothing was too much trouble. I liked the fact they have a no shoes policy so the place was really clean, perfect for kids to crawl around. The venue is great for kids and pretty well thought out. All the kids that attended had a great time. I would definitely return for some stay and play sessions and have already booked for the santas grotto.”

“We used Fresh Kids for our daughter's 4th birthday party. We had a really great morning and loved it! Organising the party ahead of time felt really straightforward and there was excellent communication. On the day, the staff were really helpful. They kept everything running smoothly, so we could focus on chatting to guests and enjoying ourselves. They were friendly and great with the children. Everyone came away happy and lots of our friends said how great the venue and organisation had been. We were really pleased and our daughter had a fantastic time!”

“Attending baby sensory with my second child as well now and there really is no place like it! So many of my non mum or mum to be friends question is it really worth it seems expensive can’t you just do that yourself etc but I promise it’s worth every single penny so much fun for the babies and parents. The equipment is fantastic and the ideas/set ups each week are brilliant! I recommend to everyone ALWAYS!”

“Wheelchair access - lift Car park - residential only Off street parking High security systems - cctv everywhere.”

“It had a rocky start as there was no person and we couldn't access our room it it wasn't for ALEX who was working at the Liverpool branch we would have been stranded in the middle of London on a freezing Winters night. Once in our apartment I t was quaint but stylishly and very homely and within We were ideally situated within walking distance to our friends All in all well worth the rate we paid which given location was extremely affordable”

“Great local theatre. Intimate, and totally engaging. Very good production of play "Electric Rosary." Great direction. Intelligent set. Good acting. Sustained attention throughout. Good drama to explore issues of faith, AI and the future. Good well priced bar. Friendly people. Affordable prices. Eady parking. What's not to like. Well done all.”

“Circus Glory is a real gem of a circus training space! Having done aerial silks for several years I decided to try trapeze and chose Circus Glory purely because of proximity to where I live, and I have found the classes to be rewarding in a way which other circus classes I have taken have not been. The location is wonderful — a small and intimate space which allows you to be within sight of the teacher at all times, which makes for a safe environment. You feel like you're doing trapeze in the trees because of all the windows! As a teacher Geneviève perfectly balances seriousness and strictness with kindness and encouragement. You feel that she wants you to strive to be the best you can, yet you don't feel under pressure. She is extremely knowledgeable and in tune with all of her students' individual needs and levels, and you feel very safe in her hands. I have found the other students in the class kind and welcoming — everyone supports each other regardless of different levels within the class. Overall the atmosphere is one that makes me want to return even when I am not living just down the road! Definitely give this class a try if you are curious about circus arts.”

“My son started this nursery few months ago and he really enjoy the learning experience. Overall atmosphere is positive and motivate children to be on their best behaviour. Teachers and all staff of this school is really hardworking and approachable. I would really recommend the school to everyone. This is an outstanding Nursery.”

“The Nursery is very well equipped and clean. The Head Teacher and staff are excellent. Very caring and understanding each child’s needs. Had lots of fun on Grandparents Day. Would recommend it to friends and family.”

“6 years ago, we started to look for nurseries for our first born near where we lived (quite far from Adventures) and really didn't get that same impression as when we stepped foot in Adventures Day Nursery for our first visit. Throughout the past 6 years, we've been fortunate enough to have the dedicated team look after both our sons and the love & affection shown is above anything we've seen at any nursery. I’ve found it’s been worth those long drop offs in the morning and those times I'd need to have my laptop with me to start work. It's clear Kim has taken her love of this work and spent time hiring staff who share that same passion to create this unique environment. This become particularly important when our 2nd child was diagnosed with a range of allergies, and it meant we were even more cautious around nursery care. However, the Adventures Team were able to accommodate and have made him feel very included in all activities. Sadly we're now coming to end of this journey, we can't help but recommend Kim & the wider team.”

“My son has been attending MonkeyPuzzle since he was 1 year old and since the first day every single person who works / worked at the nursery has been absolutely fantastic. Being a mother of a trilingual child, I find it important that he is encouraged to speak his secondary languages. Many teachers speak multiple languages and they have always been doing their best to support us in our attempts to improve my son's language skills. There is something amazing I could say about each and every member of the team but my son's love for all of the staff is the best feedback. The fact that he is always excited to go to nursery speaks louder than any words. Despite being rated "good" by ofsted, the truth is that this nursery is OUTSTANDING. I'm grateful to the MonkeyPuzzle team for taking such great care of my son and for all their hard work to make the nursery such a wonderful family-like place. Keep doing what you're doing and don't change.”

“Excellent school with caring teachers and a very friendly executive headteacher who is on the front gates greeting kids some mornings”

“I'm so grateful to have such a good local music school. They have handled the pandemic really well, too. After just eight weeks in the school as an adult piano beginner, all lessons with my tutor were moved online - and she taught me online to a level where I passed my piano Grade 1 with distinction! All the school tutors are great, and have good bios on the site so you can find one which is perfect for you. My lessons are full of laughter and creativity and patience from the tutor, it's something I look forward to every week whether it's virtual or in the school.”

“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 ❤️”

“I would highly recommend this nursery (and have done so to anyone who ever asks me). Our 3 year old boy has been attending for a year and he is so happy here. He has been cared for and nutured so much by the wonderful staff, who clearly love what they do. I watch as they constantly assess his needs and ensure he's happy, does he need to let off some steam in the garden, need a nap, a snack or just some quiet time? They have a Forest School and so many activities which have provided him learning opportunities and much needed fun. The team are professional and communicative, which has always put my mind at ease. We have a 10 month old daughter who will be joining him soon and there is no where else we would rather our children develop, learn and grow. Thank you to everyone at Dulwich Oaks, for everything.”

“Great school, great lunch choices, great teachers, unsure of the politics however.”
