Creativity development in Croydon

“Lovely music school and amazing teachers. I really liked the way the course is built up to engage students and increase their confidence, at a good, steady pace. My daughter loves attending the classes. The teachers are very knowledgeable and finding different ways to support parents.”

“one of the best primary school i went to in my life me and coach maty the best PE teacher”

“I was initially concerned when my child was transferred to the school, especially after reading some negative reviews and considering its distance from my home. However, I soon realized that many of those reviews were misleading. The school is outstanding in every aspect. The discipline is strong, and all children are treated with care and respect. The meals are delicious and impressive, with the thoughtful addition of offering bagels in the morning. Very touching! The headteacher, Mrs. Edmonds, comes across as both professional and caring, and all the teachers and assistants are highly responsible and attentive to the children’s needs. It’s clear they put in a lot of effort. My child, who started in P1 after moving from Scotland, has been very happy here, even after just a few weeks. The after-school club is excellent too, with friendly staffs,and my child absolutely loves the meals it offers! Shamed I have to transfer her to another school only because it is too far from where I live. Both me and the child feel very sad about leaving minister infant school.”

“Out of all Nurseries we looked at we decided to go with Fennies. I am truly impressed with the care and patience of the staff. Our daughter enjoys her time a lot at the nursery and is always excited to go there. We really thought she would not want us to leave and cry when we drop her off in the morning, but it turns out she loves to play with other children and enjoys all the activities at Fennies. Truly recommended.”

“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 ❤️”

“Two of my children attend here one in baby room and one in pre-school and I have had no issues, I am really happy with the care given to my children and the communication I receive. Both my children love the staff, are well-settled and looked after. I have a very good relationship with the managers who always accomodate my requests. I am pleased with this nursery and would recommend it to others :)”

“My son started Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery at 8 months old, i was so nervous when I first started looking for nursery’s, so I could plan to return back to work. I viewed so many nursery’s in the area, Abbey Wood Grange day nursery had something over them all, for me it was the attention to detail & care from staff. On my viewing with Lisa she was so welcoming, enthusiastic and had a real sense of care. lisa knew all the children’s names when we entered the rooms. Staff was all friendly an engaged with all the children. Staff are all so friendly & welcoming, my son settled in really quickly and formed great bonds. He really loves being at nursery and gets all excited when we arrive. I get regular updates daily in his book from the day & updates on the tapestry app showing observations & his development. I honestly couldn't be more happier with the level of service from the nursery & staff at abbey wood. I know his well looked after, It really is a lovely nursery. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to put their baby or child into a nursery.”

“This School is very Good My Daughters love it.One of my Daughter's are having a ancient greek Workshop on Feb 1st”

“Lovely play cafe.. there are 2 different soft play area for kids to play in… Have never seen my 13 month old enjoy his day this much. It wasn’t too busy too which I like because my child can easily get overstimulated sometimes. Very attentive staff too. I forgot to ask for her name but we will defo come back more often for sure x”

“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.”

“This is the second nursery we have tried in this area. It is far and away the best. The teachers are dedicated professionals (most are also Montessori trained in addition to EYFS training) who are obviously enjoying their work with children, and who are committed to Lemon Tree in the long term. In other words, unlike the other nursery we tried which had huge problems with staff turnover, the teachers at Lemon Tree know us, we know all of them, and most importantly they and the children know each other. Every week my partner and I talk about how relieved we are that our son is at Lemon Tree, and how confident we feel in the care and attention he is receiving there. They also have an enormous outdoor play area with real grass and trees, not just a carpark covered in astroturf. The children are given many opportunities for outside play and they integrate natural learning with their Montessori curriculum. I would recommend this place without qualification.”

“My son was really happy in this nursery, happy memories still on his mind about the staff and his learning process. It is a frendly, caring and safe enviroment that I will recomend to every one who whish a happy child.”

“Absolutely could not want more from a childcare setting. The staff are brilliant and I feel so lucky every day that my child is in such a lovely place.”

“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.”

“Excellent dance school. My daughter took part in their show. It was so polished and professional. I was particularly impressed at how every child taking ballet took part in a mini version of Peter Pan - the planning and prep on that alone! Extra rehearsals were laid on which meant juggling for parents but the results were outstanding.”

“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.”

“I love everything about Stagecoach Shirley! The principal and teachers are amazing, the fellow pupils are lovely and supportive and my daughter has thrived there. She loves going and what she has learned through Stagecoach comes out in other areas of her life too. I would highly recommend sending your children here. Thank you for everything.”

“Excellent Saturday Performing Arts programme - friendly teachers who have real industry experience and are so enthusiastic and passionate! Very inclusive! Lovely to see boys and girls of different ages working collaboratively - not only developing skills in music, drama and dance, the sessions also help the children improve their creative thinking, concentration and confidence to express themselves and perform.”

“Absolutely brilliant activity to give kids confidence and experience in public speaking - great for life skills - teachers have been really great and encouraging. 5*”

“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.”

“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”

“Send my daughter here and this is her second nursery. Very very happy with all the team here. My daughter’s key worker is amazing and genuinely makes us feel our daughter is properly cared for. We stayed for a little bit one afternoon for a Father’s Day stay and play and you could see the bond that they had made. It was heartwarming to see. If we had another baby we wouldn’t hesitate to send them here. Thank you to all the staff for all the amazing work you do!”

“I used to be in YouTube and now I'm going to get me and when I was in my last day I was literally crying sent to me my and my friend Katarina cheesy Italian”

“Sherwood pre-school is a professional, well managed and caring environment for children. My daughter started at Howard newly and since then she has dropped off and picked up from school by Sherwood pre-school staff. They are very welcoming and my daughter love this place. It's always so well organized and full of fun opportunities for children to grow and explore the world around them. The commitment of the staff from both Breakfast & Afternoon club is immediately evident. I highly recommend this nursery the staff make your child feel safe and comfortable.”
