Educational activities in Croydon

“I started going to this club when I was 10 years old (nearly 15 years ago) and it's still the best exercise club I've ever been to - there's something for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Classes are fun and varied, with a really supportive atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to boost their confidence, improve their fitness or just try something new.”

“I've been training here for over a year and I'm having a really positive experience. The coaches are so friendly and welcoming which shapes the overall environment and atmosphere of the gym. Location is easy to get to and they have a variety of classes throughout the day. I highly recommend this place to everyone, but especially to women who are thinking about starting a martial art.”

“I've been a member of Croydon SoG since the age of 3. Now 30 years on, I am now a coach at the club and am one of the longest serving members. In a nutshell I've learnt so much from our Head Coach Jackie Lewis from being a gymnast to becoming a coach. She has mentored me all through my coaching qualifications and I'm still learning! I have a disability (Asperger's and Dyspraxia) so for me learning takes a lot longer but I have always felt included and gymnastics has given me so many opportunities I would otherwise never have had if it wasn't for the club and Jackie. From the first day Jackie entered me into my first competition, I was hooked. I eventually earned my place on the Disabilities National Squad which I was part of for over a decade and represented the club at national and international events. I became a British Champion in 2005 and became overall World Silver Medalist Silver with 2 apparatus golds at the Special Olympics World Games in Athens in 2011. The club is a great place for gymnasts and coaches and has a real family feel. Its open to everyone young or old and caters for all levels including children with disabilities and has a class for adults too. I highly recommend the club to anyone who wants to give their child a an opportunity to take part and perhaps go on to become a competitor in this wonderful sport. Gymnastics sets you up for life, physically, mentally and teaches you life skills as well.”

“My daughters both attend the children’s taekwondo here and are both very happy and love their classes and instructors. Great environment and reasonably priced. As I parent I feel very happy to have found croydon taekwondo and love watching my children grow and thrive under fantastic tuition Would highly recommend”

“Used for a 8yr old kids birthday with the footie dude, Ben Judge. What a legend he was! Super friendly and attentive and inclusive to the kiddies. Really made the day special. Rest of the venue is clean and lots of parking and easy to find. Recommended.”

“Excellent dance school with very professional teachers, love the fact they run events like dance competitions, charity dance shows and IDTA dance exams.”

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

“Lovely teachers and best school trips”

“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.”

“Excellent place for children. Friendly and hard-working staff. Children seem happy and active! Highly recommended.”

“Benjamin loves going to Boom arts ( he goes on a Friday and in the holidays). Paisley always greets us with a warm and friendly smile. Ben is especially fond of Sam and Miss Isla. Ben has grown in confidence and loves showing family members his newest moves! So proud of him achieving an Honours award in his dance exam. The whole team are amazing, organised, supportive, talented and understanding. Thank you to all the team for all their hard work. We appreciate you and highly recommend you.”

“Our daughter dances at Caterham Dance School with Clara and Damian and their reputation for excellence is very well-deserved. From trying out a cha cha in the children's beginner class, through to competing in juvenile ballroom and latin competitions, they have been really supportive at every step - tailoring teaching and advice on technique to her abilities as they develop, and continuing to inspire her love of dance!”

“Love simply kids for wraparound care and holiday clubs. The team behind this business truly care for your children and go above and beyond. They are a special bunch.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“I stumbled across Real transfers when me and my better half were requiring a luxury mode of transport to the dreaded London Heathrow airport. Travelling to the Bahamas for our honey moon, I wanted nothing less than the whole 9 yards for experience. I first lifted the phone to a gentlemen by the name of Ozan, he was rather professional and accommodating with a sense of personality. My wife in particular requested sparking water and a pouch of M&Ms, a must have in our book. When our Mercedes-Benz EQ450 arrived we were greeted by a friendly driver who presented us with a spacious cabin. Low and behold I was flabbergasted to find the M&Ms and sparkling water were sitting in the rear arm rest. The whole journey and process was stress free and a breath of fresh air compared to other services I’ve used. An example of a business that truly listens to its customers, Would highly recommend to anyone and will be contacting them again in future when in need of transport.”

“This nursery is the best by far. My little girl has been attending Little Elms, Shirley for almost 5 months and she has such a great time. The staff are very caring and affectionate towards my little girl needs!”

“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 ❤️”

“Great staff, l remember when my baby got his BCG , it was a cold and rainy day but it ended up being a good day for my baby and l , the place was conducive for breastfeeding and relaxing and the staff were all so nice ,my baby was still a newborn and l was exhausted but that day my energy was boosted and made me more confident of going out and wanting to attend more class.”

“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 :)”
