Creative learning environments in Uxbridge

“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.”

“It is one of the best nursery in Uxbridge. All the members are very supportive,friendly and very attentive . Both kids love going here. They are very happy and have excelled.”

“Both of my children attend Stepping Stones Nursery in Hillingdon and absolutely love it. The staff are warm, caring, and really dedicated. My kids are learning so much and always come home happy. We get regular updates through the app and during parents’ meetings, which helps us stay involved. Highly recommend!”

“My daughter loves going to this nursery. They always welcome her with the biggest smile and make her feel special every time. My daughter has learnt so much since being there for the last year or so. She has become more confident and her breath of vocabulary has most definitely widened because of their teaching. When she comes home she is always repeating songs they sing during circle time. I would highly recommend this nursery as not only do they support the child to progress but also give really good advice to parents regarding potty training etc. Whenever I pick my daughter up I love how nicely the children play together and enjoys playing with her friends.”

“An excellent school with a truly dedicated and talented group of teachers led by the outstanding headteacher Catherine Veale. This really is a school which continues to impress with its inspired and motivating learning skills. Highly recommended.”

“I initially moved my son from his first nursery (Monkey Puzzle in Uxbridge) as he just didnt enjoy going in and due to his speech delay he was unable to communicate his feelings but there were worries that he was being mistreated in that nursery as he would repeat phrases in a shouty manner that we would never use at home (why are you crying I'm here??? Be quiet! Go sit down now!) After deciding to move him to another nursery I attended Busy bees in person and shared my concerns with the assistant manager Sian who was at the main reception that particular day. She reassured me and arranged a tour of the nursery a few days later where myself, my husband and son were able to have a look around and we had a a lovely chat with Lauren in the preschool room about how a typical day in the nursery would be and how they monitor each childs progress again the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. After our visit our son was instantly warmed by the happy playful environment. He surprisingly settled within a week of attending. His speech, interaction and communication has all really come through as well as his attention. He has honestly been thriving here and although I'm sad he will be leaving the nursery to start school in September - I am ever so grateful for the staff especially Tammy for shaping up his academic journey from here ahead.”

“Our adventure with Monkey Music started a few years back when I was looking for something to do with my older daughter, that would be entertaining but educational same time. Right now all 3 of my children are attending the classes and I can't praised it enough. The classes are always fun but if you want to see a real benefits of Monkey Music I recommend that you attend it for as long as possible. After a while you will notice you child being more and more confident, getting to know all the songs and moves. You will be amazed how the classes develop your child speech (a case with one of my twins), memory, they will learn a lot of things about music as well as counting, colors, time, how to read music. They will learn about different instruments, how you play them, how do they sound like etc. each term there are new songs/activities.The staff is always very friendly and professional. And to sum it up it is even very educational for us - parents as I learned a lot about music myself :)”

“I am a 'mature' student who joined West London School of Guitar 3 years ago as a total beginner with a battered second hand electric guitar and no real idea of what I wanted to achieve. In that time, I've gone from learning simple chord progressions and melodies to playing classical pieces, learning a range of different and challenging techniques, sight reading and music theory and regular improvisation classes with other students (and acquiring a couple of new guitars en route!). We're also encouraged and given guidance to set ourselves goals on a regular basis and we work together to make these goals a reality. WLSoG wants all the students to be the best guitarists they can possibly be with an understanding of musical concepts as well as techniques. No stone is left un-turned on this route and students make great progress in a positive and friendly teaching environment. This is the best thing I've done in ages. I've grown in confidence as a guitar player and as a person - I can't recommend these classes highly enough.”

“Great school working hard in a diverse community”

“Lovely environment, teachers are all brilliant, kids are so excited when they are there, the area is brilliant for the kids to”

“E-Resources section was very helpful for my child.”

“My son went to Jigsaw nursery in Hatch end and he was very well looked after by Larissa, his key worker, and was more than ready for primary school when he left. Minal was also wonderful as she went above and beyond when she taught my son phonics, reading and counting - she was brilliant. The pastoral care at the nursery was outstanding due to the all the staff and the management team run by Susan. Highly recommend.”

“My 2 daughters age 5 and 4 absolutely love going to their dance classes. They have been going for a year and performed in a show in October. The teachers are really good with children and they teach different styles of dance. They also do gymnastics.”

“CMC is my Child’s second home. The entire staff and management have cared exceptionally for my child since the first day. I have not had any cause to complain about anything. I am very impressed with the professionalism, attention, and warmth that the staff at CMC consistently provide. And I recommend the nursery and early childcare at CMC for any mum who wants exceptional services.”

“Miss McNeil was head mistress when I was at the Ickenham Swakeleys. A brilliant women, everything I achieved I owe to her. Very far sighted & progressive. Mrs Clap was my art teacher. Happy days.”

“I attended here, 1948 to 53, in the playground where the toilets, which just sat on an open sesspit, I imagine, things have change, the school, was a great first start for me, red jacket and cap, marching into church, every morning, milk monitor, rug making, recorder classes, the teacher had a funny eye, mayday party, loved it.”

“The Appletree team nurtured and moulded our little girl from the age of 1 until she was ready to begin school. From the day she joined we noticed her development going from strength to strength and soon noticed improvements in her vocabulary and motor skills. Our daughter created a bond with the staff which was nurtured as she progressed through baby room into toddler room where the team helped her with her independence. The Appletree setting has a real homely feel whilst maintaining a professional approach which gave my wife and I reassurance in knowing our little girl was safe and well cared for. Thank you to the whole Appletree team for taking such great care of our daughter we know she is the growing into wonderful young lady in no small part thanks to you.”

“The teachers are so warm and loving. Would definitely recommend this Pre-school”
