Development in Orpington

“Great adult ballet class - good for balance, posture, stretching, etc., and all to lovely music with wonderful teacher. Ideal for beginners and those who have done ballet before, however long ago. 8-9pm Mondays at Orpington Village Hall except in school holidays.”

“Had my daughter at the nursery for 1.5 years and the place is amazing. My little one really developed during her time so far. Great app that tracks her key points throughout the day too. In addition the staff are amazing. Everyone there is an absolute delight to deal with. Highly recommended.”

“A long standing swimming club, with a great track record of developing swimmers of all ages to a high competitive standard.”

“Our son has been attending Monkey Puzzle since he was 4.5 months old, he is now 2 years old. We are extremely happy with his level of care that he receives. He loves coming to nursery, and the enjoys the variety of activities that the excellent team provide. The care we’ve received from every member of staff, at all levels, has always been fantastic. Our son loves his time at nursery and we are very pleased in all the progress he’s making. We can see at home the different things he’s being taught at nursery, from sign language, his motor skills and the many varieties of messy play he brings home in his hair! Personally as parents we’ve enjoyed the community feel of the nursery, having attending a few events like the summer fete and the parents first aid training. We can’t recommend Monkey Puzzle enough!”

“Had a lovely experience. The reception area is really cute and calming. The scan was reassuring. All staff I spoke to were very kind and helpful. Thanks!”

“Agent Will had a good knowledge of the house we were buying as well as the surrounding area and offered useful advice. He was always on the ball, dealing with any arising difficulties sensitively. Will was so helpful he even kept in touch while on holiday. Excellent service.”

“I cannot praise this swimming school highly enough! I’ve been using them for both my children. My eldest is very close to finishing her lessons hopefully and she started off as a non swimmer and she is now a confident swimmer who enjoys coming to every lesson. My youngest has just started off and is loving every minute of her sessions. The instructors are professional and cater to each individual needs. My kids love all the instructors and Claire is very quick at responding to any queries or questions parents have. When my partner broke his foot and couldn’t drive my eldest to her lessons - I told Claire about it and she went above and beyond to get my daughter into a different session time in order for her to not miss one lesson. I will definitely be recommending seriously swimming to anyone looking for a swim school. Thanks so much!!”

“Easy car park, good store. Sight check out wait.”

“Fantastic makaton training received at this site shame to see the nursery closed”

“My son has attended here for coming on a year now. He is 2.5 years old. This is a very good nursery, the staff are all friendly and genuine, no dodgy character’s or anyone that makes you feel unsure or uneasy. They are very good with their Tapestry App, you get daily photos/updates and you can tell they really do make an effort with the kids and their early learning. My son has come on really well with speech, shapes, colours, counting and ABC’s and he always comes home singing all the words of lots of nursery rhymes. You never see any kids looking unhappy when dropping off or picking up. I have two children and moved around a bit in the past so I have worked with quite a few different nursery’s and I am confident this is a good all round nursery. They are very affordable too which is why I have given 5* - Thank you to the team xx”

“My son has been going to Ready Steady Grow pre-school since he was 2 and is 4 now and he absolutely loves it! He has come on so well with his speech and confidence. All of the teachers are so friendly and the children love them. They helped us with potty training. He can count to 30 and knows all the months of the year.”

“I went there in primary and it was a lit school”

“As a past user of Shakhlo's services at Kumon, I can attest to her brilliance as an instructor. Shakhlo's exceptional customer service skills and personalised approach made our experience truly memorable. She created a supportive and nurturing environment where we felt valued and encouraged to succeed. Her genuine care for her students' progress and well-being was evident in every interaction. She was always available to address our questions or concerns, providing valuable guidance and support throughout our Kumon journey. I am grateful for the positive impact she had on our learning experience. Thank you Shakhlo.”

“Best Primary School I've ever seen. I went here when I was younger (only three years ago) and it was the best education I've ever had. The teachers are amazing- none lack effort or control unlike the teachers in Harris. The best teacher which I was very lucky to have was Matt Linzey. Great teacher, whoever gets him have a great year. He helped us amazingly through our SATs and we had such a fun last year- it was sad to leave. Great atmosphere, if I could go back I most certainly would.”

“We absolutely loved Bright Beginning Pre-school. It felt like extension of our family, we really felt that our daughter was in safe and nurturing environment. She graduated a week ago and misses it everyday. Would highly recommend it.”

“My daughter loves all her classes at Holly Bellsham School of Performing arts, doing tap, ballet, street jazz, drama and singing. I love that the classes are fun and no pressure is on the children yet they are learning all the correct technique. She enjoys her drama and singing classes and is always excited to get her scripts and song words. It’s been lovely to see her involved in the theatre shows and watch her on stage.”

“Niljo is incredible — she choreographs amazing routines for the songs, blending creativity with a focus on fitness. Her unique approach of mixing dance with workouts has been extremely beneficial for both my physical health and overall well-being. I’m so grateful for her dedication and passion, which inspires us all. Highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for a fun and uplifting experience!”

“Theatre skills is amazing! Lovely teachers and great classes for dancing, singing and acting. The end of term show has always been amazing! Highly recommend!”

“I have had three RTT sessions with Fay about various issues. Prior to this, I had been struggling most of life (32 years old) with anxiety and depression as a result of trauma. I have been on antidepressants for over a decade and have tried various psychotherapies with limited results. I was skeptical about trying hypnosis but I also felt I had nothing left to lose. I’m so glad I tried RTT as the results and relief have been mind blowing. I used to suffer from a constant inner critic bullying me 24/7 and after one session that was gone. My second session focused on my constant state of anxiety due to repetitive rumination (literally non-stop!). Now, I no longer get stuck in this cycle of rumination. These two issues are things I thought I would never be free of! I’m currently working off issue three with Fay and hopeful it will make a difference. Fay is a wonderful, warm and kind lady who has been welcoming and reassuring since day one. She is genuinely invested in helping her clients and looks after you throughout. I am so grateful to have met Fay and gone on this venture with her.”

“So hard to find a good dog walker. Especially when you have a giant breed. She is great and reliable. Can't recommend enough!”
