Creativity development in London

“My 9 years old daughter has had the best few years training with Katie Cox Dance Studio. She started with just ballet but her love of dance grew and now she does tap, lyrical, acro and jazz too! She has flourished in such a nurturing environment and made some amazing friends. She loves her teachers and is always so happy when we are on the way to lessons. The effort that goes into each child to bring the best out of them is amazing and all the students really cheer each other on and celebrate each other’s achievements. Both students, teachers and parents come together to put on amazing events and shows. I can’t wait to see what else Katie Cox Dance Studio can do over the next few years!”

“Our daughter had simply the best time at the PPAS summer school. The classes were varied and brilliantly taught, the two performances at the Leicester Square Theatre and Covent Garden piazza were so exciting and the friendships formed have built up her confidence so much. She is desperate to sign up for next year!!”

“Charlie is an absolute star! We are a care home and all the residents love their workouts with Charlie! Cant recommend The Blair Academy enough.”

“My daughter has been in the acro fusion class for a few months now. She's not a natural dancer, and lacked confidence in her abilities. However since being at Harlequins she has made lots of friends and grown massively in confidence. Great job!”

“Thank you Angelo for preparation and organisation of the last 2 exams. It was handled professionally and with a lot of passion. I was very glad that the teacher was able to run the exam smoothly under a lot of pressure, including some false accusation and childish behaviour from a student during the exam. In the end the exam was complete successfully and we are all very thankful for Angelo for all of his hard work”

“Some of the best teaching in town. Always challenging and fun, Sharon gives great personalized advice which helps you improve your dancing. I have been to many JazzMad workshops and definitely recommend them!”

“My daughter recently had the opportunity to attend a drama lesson, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The session was engaging, inspiring, and full of energy. It was wonderful to see her come home excited and confident The instructor created a warm and encouraging environment that helped her feel comfortable and expressive from the start. Thank you for offering such a fantastic opportunity—this has truly sparked a new passion in her! Thanks Emma, Lisa and the rest of the team...well appreciated. Love Nicolex”

“My daughter has attended razzamataz for over 5 years now, in that time I've seen her confidence grow massively, she is always excited to go razz. She has made some great friends and loves her classes always excited for what their doing next she has had some great experiences since joining. Its a warm, friendly place. With great teachers that will love you're kids as much as you. A place where they can be given the chance to grow and develop.”

“The Razz team make sure that all children are included, valued and happy, they provide children with the opportunity to performe in a wide range of varied places ie Shaftsbury avenue, Queens theatre, amazing marquee at Barleylands, shopping centres, festivals etc.”

“My little girl loves going to Razz and I absolutely love seeing her confidence grow with every show she does. The teachers are wonderful with the kids and really want to see them all shine.”

“My Daughter has been going to stagecoach for many years now and really looks forward to her classes every Saturday. I’ve seen her confidence grow and stagecoach is definitely the one to thank for that. The experiences offered to the kids are brilliant, from doing shows at local fairs, workshops, and even big theatre productions. Felicity and the team are so passionate and professional, I would definitely recommend for any child who is interested in all things singing, dancing and acting!”

“I cannot recommend Brilliant Theatre highly enough. My daughter is with the company for 18 months and has progressed so much in that time in terms of confidence and has developed a deep appreciation for musical theatre. David and the team, whilst uber professional, make participation so much fun for the kids. The team bring out the best in the kids and help them all shine. Until you’re part of Brilliant it’s hard to explain just how great it is. If you join up, you’ll get it!”

“Oliver & his team at PQA Richmond provide such a warm, positive environment. My daughter’s confidence has soared since she joined 4 years ago. She has made new friends & had some fantastic opportunities. Thank you PQA Richmond!”

“The staff at 360 Arts are amazing! They are all genuine, kind hearted people who care so much about their kids and the parents. A fantastic performing arts school and talent agency. Always totally committed to creating opportunities and making dreams come true. So happy we found 360 Arts!!!”

“Achieve Arts are amazing! My both daughters have been going for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. All the teachers and the Leadership team are absolutely lovely, and you can see how much care and thought they put in the curriculum so that the children can develop their skills, confidence and have fun at the same time. And you should see their annual shows, it's West End quality!”

“Couldn’t have wished for better training! I achieved everything I wanted and more and that’s solely down to the wonderful community setting and care of the staff and students! Cannot recommend highly enough, I will be forever grateful for Reynolds!”

“Learnt about this nursery by chance in the internet, and I couldn't feel happier of having done so. Despite that my daughter's mother tongue wasn't English, it was admirable to see how well she adapted, since the very first day! All thanks to the excellent team of professionals at Bees Knees, they've supported us whenever we've needed them. I absolutely recommend this nursery.”

“Top nursery. The staff and in particular, the management are amazing. So patient with the children and my son settled in really quickly. Highly recommend!”

“We’ve been coming to baby sensory classes with Alex for 7 months and we absolutely love them! The classes have lovely creative elements that keep the babies entertained. It’s also nice to take a break from having to entertain your baby yourself and meet other mums.”

“Our son started at First Day Nursery this summer when he was just under a year old. He settled in within a couple of days and absolutely loves it there.The staff are super friendly and engaging, providing daily updates via the app as well as during pick up. They are also invested in our son's development and we are constantly impressed with the new things he has learnt at nursery. Huge thank you to all the staff, especially Kay, Kim and Liberty who have been key contact people for my son.”

“Both of my children attend this nursery. One started at 10 months old and one at 2 years old. The staff are absolutely amazing with both of them. I can truly say I have so much faith in all of the staff and the nursery itself! I even leave my children there beyond there normal hours and the nursery are happy to work around my work schedule. My children love the nursery and have made so much progress. This nursery has been a god sent to me - really amazing work guys! Thank you Magicwords Nursery!”

“Owls Daycare has been like a second home for Emily since she was 9 months old, and now, as she approaches 4, she still loves every moment there! Emily was one of the first children to attend when Owls opened, and the support she's received over the years has been amazing. As she's simultaneously learning two languages—English as her native language and Portuguese as her heritage language—the team has been incredibly supportive in helping her develop strong communication skills. Their understanding and encouragement have been instrumental in her language growth. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being and development. Emily has flourished in this nurturing environment, not only socially and academically but also in expressing herself confidently in both languages. Parents receive daily updates on their child’s progress during pick-up, along with photos and reports via the Tapestry online platform. I’m so grateful for the love and care Owls Daycare has shown Emily, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her early years. A big thank you to Siobhan, James, Kayleigh, Ciara, Giovana, Ciaran and Jane Thank you for being such an important part of her life and learning journey! P.S. The photos are from her very first day at Owls!”

“I can not recommend Colby Nursery enough. My daughter attended there for almost a year and we were very sad to say goodbye last week due to moving away. Mary and all the team were absolutely fantastic, they provided a safe, secure and nurturing environment for my daughter to learn and develop. The garden is a welcome addition to the nursery ensuring they children have plenty of outdoor time and fresh air. It really is a fantastic environment for small children and we are so happy and grateful for the time our daughter E had there! We will miss you all so much Colby Road Nursery! Xx”

“My daughter attends the nursery and could not be happier. The staff are incredible and obviously really care about the children - my daughter has built fantastic bonds with not only her key workers but all of the staff. Every day we are given detailed hand overs about her adventures at nursery and the different ways they are focusing on her development. We have watched her flourish since she started attending and it was been wonderful to see. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, it feels like a second family and we are so lucky to have found it!”

“My 3 year old is attending this nursery and he is really happy. Every time when i go to pick him up always a happy smile on his face. He definitely enjoys his time there. Also the members are really gentle, caring and understanding.”

“Toffee was looked after well here. The staff are friendly and helpful and really care about your pets wellbeing. I have no hesitation in rebooking with them.”

“The K2 Academy offers a distinctive, stretching and rewarding contemporary jewellery making programme. K2’s approach to design development leads to the creation of unique jewellery pieces and collections and the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in jewellery making and design. Katrin and Kelvin bring their considerable talents knowledge and experience to their teaching approach providing insight, constructive challenge, practical support and encouragement. I would urge anyone looking for a structured accredited course or specialist one-off jewellery making workshops to opt for K2. You will not find a better place to realise your creative aspirations. You will learn techniques that are rarely available on other courses such as Electroforming and Kum-boo and the small class groups mean that you will be able to share knowledge and learn from other students as well. If you can get to London then I recommend going along to one of the Cockpit Arts (Bloomsbury) Open Days and use the opportunity to visit the K2 workspace and be blown away by the skill, creativity and uniqueness of the students work. Then sign up, you won’t look back.”

“We booked Joe for our school Halloween Disco and my word he did not disappoint! Super easy to work with and plan the event, and then the quality of service throughout the 2 hour set was top drawer. Kids and parents were absolutely blown away!”

“We luv this centre sooo much. My LO is in his element when he gets there it’s like his 2nd home. The staff go the extra mile in everything they do for our LO. The staff are amazing and so caring towards our children. Thxs so much Southmead Children’s centre for what you do for our little ones.”
