Educational programs for kids in London

“Both our daughters have attended Shimmi Shakes for over six months now. The provision for ballet and tap dance is so impressive, and the girls look forward to the Saturday morning sessions every week. The team are wonderful and there is an amazing sense of community, with exams organised, and trips to the West End to see professional theatre as well. We couldn't be happier.”

“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!”

“My daughter whos 8 had her first show on a theatre stage 3 shows over the weekend , and my whole family was literally blown away with the outcome, we have watched her at school plays and we thought she may have had a little nerves being her first time singing on her own in front of a packed out theatre, but she literally left us bursting with pride as she sang on her own whilst dancing with her group, there was no way we was expecting that, we left the show Saturday night buzzing with excitement, we could not believe the confidence that she had , she was living her best life and it was all down to Farli and her amazing team, all the songs and dances was something else. They had every child giving there best over the weekend all the children was included and the energy from each child on that stage , gives you a warm fuzzy feeling that is hard to explain. As a parent you wouldnt want anything else when it comes to your child performing . We are still speechless. Farli literally is a super woman she makes sure your child reaches there full potential. We can not wait for the next one. I recommend csta to any parent who wants there child to reach there full potential.”

“Our two sons are currently attending Playdays, in the baby room and in the preschool room. We are extremely happy with the nursery. The staff is very kind and caring and most of them have been around for many years which is great as a lot of nurseries nearby have a high staff turnover. The nursery is very well managed by Miss Kerry and everything runs smoothly. The children have the opportunity to do lots of activities (baby yoga, dance, french, swimming...) as well as regular trips to the park. We would 100% recommend this nursery to parents.”

“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!”

“Two of my children have attended this nursery and both absolutely loved their experiences. Both developed strong bonds with the staff and my daughter currently attending just adores them and they have been a brilliant support in her care and development since she was 9 months old. Now that they have moved to a new premises the setting itself cannot be faulted, they have beautiful classrooms and an outside space that the children can run around and play which was the only downside with the old building.”

“Flying tots is amazing, Sharon and her team are the ideal people one can ask to work with open communication, support with getting the right documents like the DBS, certificates and trainings to nurture holistic chaperones. Loved the help I received with my DBS processing and Most of all, I loved the souvenirs we received, they really inspire you that you are indeed a flying chaperone who will go places.”

“We really love the team at Seriously FUN Swimming. Our boys have such fun at their Sunday morning lessons and have become confident swimmers. Each instructor at every level is expertly suited to guide the kids through their lessons and milestones. The structure that is in place is best in class and we're thrilled with the progression both of our boys are showing whilst keeping the fun element for them. Highly recommend Seriously FUN Swimming!”

“Great nursery made by the lovely staff - highly recommend”

“My 8 year old daughter has been attending Art K on a Saturday morning for about a year and it is the highlight of her week. She has settled into the warm, caring environment really well and has produced some beautiful art... her skills are definitely being developed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Art K to anyone with a child who is interested in art... in fact I have recommended the group to many friends already!”

“My eldest has been going to Jigsaw since he was 3yrs old and our second quickly followed suit; they are now 7 and 5 respectively and it’s been incredible to watch their growth and also to see how much they enjoy their classes and the friendships they have made. Both of them have no qualms about being on stage at school and I’m sure that their time at Jigsaw has played a huge part in that! The end of term performances are always a highlight and our children are so proud of themselves and excited that we are coming to watch. We also really enjoy reading the individual reports that the teachers have taken the time out to write. Our youngest is just turning 3 and will now be starting her first term! Most classes for 3yr olds require parents to be present so we were slightly nervous when our son started but not now with our youngest; the staff are exceptional and it’s great for their confidence to enjoy a class without parents at that age. Would definitely recommend!”

“My children love dancing, my girl especially and this is the perfect opportunity for them to release their inner creativity. Dancebites enable them to shine brighter and demonstrate their wonderful personalities to the world. I can't recommend them enough, Dancebites is a fantastic and caring team who treat each child as such individuals encouraging the very best out of them all.”

“This is a wonderful local ballet school. My daughter has been attending classes here since she was 3 years old and is now 10. During that time, I have seen her progress so beautifully, developing confidence and physical control in her ballet technique. The teachers are all incredibly caring. They take safeguarding extremely seriously, and always have the children's welfare at the forefront of their minds. I have every confidence in their ability to look after my child, and it's obvious that they are adored by the kids. I would definitely recommend this school.”

“My daughter has been at KDA for a couple months and she has absolutely loved it. The teachers are great and always try to motivate the girls to be their best. The community is really nice and feels like a family.xx”

“My daughter has been dancing with Adagio School of Dance for 7 years and loves it!! She is 12 years old and spends most days at the dance school, doing ballet,tap, modern, contemporary and hip hop. The new dance facilities are fantastic, with several studios and also a homework room (!),and the school offers many genres of dance for both children and adults. The teachers have an exemplary background in dance and are enthusiastic, encouraging and supportive of their pupils. There is a real sense of family spirit, and the children of all ages get on well together. There is a bi-annual show in which the children are encouraged to perform and take part. This is always a spectacular and "not-to-be-missed" event and I am certainly looking forward to the next one in May this year!”

“Stagecoach has been a great confidence building experience for my daughters. Watching them grow with the support of the teachers and enjoy performing to a packed audience at end of term is something I am sure will help them with future endeavours.”

“I cannot express enough how amazing our experience has been at this nursery! It has been a truly wonderful place for my child, who has not only learned so much but has also had an incredible amount of fun. The staff is caring, attentive, and highly professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment that made my child feel safe and happy every day. My little one always came home with a big smile, excited to share stories about the activities and friends at the nursery. It’s clear that the team puts a lot of thought and effort into making the experience enjoyable and enriching for the children. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and joyful place for their child. Thank you for making this such a positive and memorable experience for us!”

“Lovely nursery not too close to our house but still happy to wake up early and take my toddler for her happiness. I found the staff very helpful and kind to us. My daughter wakes up eveeyday with full energy, ready to kick off the day.”

“My son began attending Butterflies in September 2021, and I can only share positive feedback about this nursery. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff deserve praise as they know how to connect with children and are highly creative. I appreciate that the children engage in different activities every day. As full-time parents, we value the communication and photos shared through the phone application, which allows us to track our son's progress and daily activities. Additionally, the nursery offers various ad-hoc booking sessions that make our lives easier. While these depend on availability, they are extremely beneficial, particularly the "early starter" option, which we frequently use. Lastly, the owner and manager, Danielle, is very helpful, approachable and finds time to speak to all parents. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to all parents—your kids will love it.”

“I was able to spend an hour in the nursery this morning starting the settling in process for our second child at WPD, with our eldest about to move off into Reception at a local primary school. We feel very lucky to have found such a welcoming, safe and caring environment for our children. The staff are all gems and seem to love having fun with the children; our daughter will miss them all very much!”

“Charlie’s been going to day care with Paw Patrols for almost a year now and I cannot recommend them any more! The team is so nice, super on it with chats and updates. Photo updates are incredible and captures hilarious mid action moments from the day. Price is super reasonable as well. Charlie has also been to boarding with them and safe to say he has found a home away from home!”

“Great facilities, and very appropriate for children. My 4.5-year-old is enjoying his swimming lessons a lot, and keeps asking when the next lesson will be. The teachers are patient and are fully aware of the different capabilities of the age groups they are working with. All in all, a fantastic experience, and I look forward to my kid continuing there in terms to come.”

“My son has been attending classes here from 3-5 years old and it has been great. They have very small groups and get them used to being comfortable in the water. It is also very personal and Fiona, who I have been working with to manage things, has been always very flexible in finding a slot for Gaspard despite a lot of changing priorities on our side.”

“My daughter really loved and enjoyed every sessions with Leyton. His so amazing throughout the journey for my daughter development, confident, acting etc. It was brilliant. Well recommended.”

“My mother and I did the pottery wheel experience for her 75th birthday! We had a lovely time, Janet was very patient in explaining all the techniques to us and showed us each step of the pot making process. We both loved it! Thank you”

“Absolutely wonderful place for my baby, staff are so welcoming and approachable, resources are great too! My favourite in Hillingdon!!”

“We absolutely love the whippersnappers Christmas and fairy land and have taken our children several times. Always so magical with such attention to detail - such a joy to be part of.”

“We absolutely love the Little Gym in Wandsworth! The instructors are amazing—not only do they focus on teaching movement skills, but they also give individual care and attention to both my 2-year-old and 5-year-old boys. It’s such a joy to see how much they enjoy practicing and gaining self-confidence here, and they look forward to coming every weekend! The teachers and staff are all so friendly, professional, and welcoming. It’s a fantastic environment for kids to have fun.”

“Arthur absolutely loves going to nursery, all the staff are so lovely and friendly! Would highly recommend ☺️”

“Great nursery. Facilitates are great, especially the big garden which has a climbing frame, fish pond, sandpit, guinea pigs. They even had incubated chicks earlier in the year. The staff are great and have been working there for years which is always a good sign. My daughter loves it.”
