Engaging learning in London

“So grateful to have this nursery in our neighbourhood! The owners/directors Caterina and Judit are a strong and reliable team who have the children's interests truly at heart and a very respectful way of working with them. All three of my children will have been under the care of C&J and their team and I couldn't be happier. The nursery building itself is a great space with many different areas including the art room, quiet room for stories, the stage, the garden, baby room, food and kitchen area and of course the main hall with all the Montessori resources. You can actually go inside for pick up and drop off which makes a difference when it's raining :) There is also spanish and drama sessions by external providers who do a brilliant job.”

“We had visited quite a few nurseries for my 18-month old and and were thrilled to find Crafty Wizards preschool which unusually for a preschool takes from 18-months. We love the format that all ages are mixed together promoting peer learning and the setting is intimate and personal. The staff are wonderful and really care about the kids. There are two gardens, one of which is a bit like a small forest school with a mud kitchen, which our little one loves. Since day 1 he’s been so happy to be there with zero separation anxiety. Highly recommend to other parents who want something different to the usual nursery format.”

“Alhamdullilah an amazing Madrasah, that inspires young minds with a holistic approach, making lessons engaging and interactive. Every child matters and different learning strategies are used to help children to learn about their deen in a fun, learning environment... May Allah allow this Phronristery to flourish and accept Ustadh Hamid's efforts! Ameen”

“My son has been at Bubbly for around 7 months now, and has settled in well. He always has a big smile when going into nursery. Frances is absolutely lovely and really cares about all the children at bubbly. Frances does everything she can to help and support my son. We are very grateful. It really is a fantastic school”

“Our daughter started attending just before her third birthday, and the care she received has been exceptional. The staff are not only kind and caring but also genuinely invested in each child’s development. They provided specific feedback tailored to our daughter, which made us feel that she was truly known and valued. I can’t express how much this nursery feels like a second home for her. The staff’s warmth, care, and attention have made all the difference. They treat her like family, and it shows in her happiness every day. We’re grateful to have found such a nurturing and loving nursery.”

“My son has really excelled at this nursery. He enjoys going in everyday and is always excited. The nursery staff are all wonderful, always welcoming and have created a lovely, safe and creative environment which nurtures the children and brings out the best in them. Would definitely recommend this nursery and will be sending my other children there also.”

“From the administrative staff to the teachers that teach here, everyone is so welcoming and lovely. For the few months I've been a student here, I look forward to coming every week. I feel as though the institute is like my second home ❤️ Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah I have benefitted so much by studying here. Allah reward the teachers and everyone that is a part of this fantastic institute and accept it from them. Aameen”

“Sumeet’s dance academy is a superb place to learn bollywood dance from highly skilled teachers amidst loads of fun! Each term has new songs and new choreography, which keeps the classes very exciting. And the shows at the end of summer and winter terms offer a perfect opportunity for the students to groove on stage and showcase their dance to friends and family!”

“Our children have been taking lessons with RSB for the last 9 years, and we really can't recommend them highly enough. Our daughter takes several dance classes in different disciplines which she absolutely loves. All 3 of our children also attend Starlight, their musical theatre course, which they enjoy immensely. The numerous performance opportunities the children have had has really helped them to grow in confidence and to develop life skills which sadly can't always be taught within the confines of the National Curriculum. RSB's teachers are fantastic, both in their level of expertise and their ability to nurture the children as individuals.”

“Lucy and Becky ran our daughter’s 6th birthday party. Was a dance class themed party with performance to parents at the end. Lucy discussed songs for the playlist and format of the party with me in advance. Arrived promptly and took all the kids and taught them dance moves, whilst the parents got to chat! They then helped us with sandwiches and cakes before resuming the lesson then a fun end of party performance! Very professional, and great with the kids. Highly recommend”

“It was a pleasure to have met Stefan. We highly appreciated Stefan’s talent, dedication and passion towards dance and sharing the joy of dancing with others. We were looking for a wedding first dance pack and were really lucky to get the flexibility of fitting the lessons in our busy diary. We were made to feel very comfortable and confident which is not always simple when you are new to the spotlight. Stefan’s friendly attitude made the learning experience fun and motivated us through the course, as well as he ensured the choreography was tailored to our personality. Would definitely recommend Stefan to any couple preparing for the special weeding dance or anyone looking to improve their dancing skills. Stefan, thank you for everything!”

“Personally, the best social salsa party in London! Perfect combination of high level dancers, great music and friendly atmosphere. I'm always leaving this place buzzing and thinking 'what a great night it was' even the next day.”

“Just started my course at AYA and I’m so impressed with the teaching style and atmosphere. I was so scared to start something like this in a group but everyone was welcoming and the tutor took time to watch us individually and guide us. Venue wise, my sat nav took me to the road before Oakley but I quickly realised to follow it around, taking two right turns and that brings you to the front of the South Norwood venue.”

“I have danced with Luanda in her classes at the Acosta Dance Foundation in Woolwich, London. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the classes a found Luanda an exceptional dance tutor, very passionate, inspiring and most of all very professional. She gives you all the elements for learning the dances. She is really passionate about bringing the dance experience to everyone. She is very caring and you always feel supported because she adapts her teaching to suit you. I am also very impressed to see how Luanda has build her dance business here in London in a short time and it’s all down to her immense drive and passion. Thank you Luanda”

“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 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!”

“My daughter Milan has been attending Razzamataz for nearly 2 years and she loves it here. She looks forward to her Wednesdays and really loves her teachers Paige and Kacey. Couldn’t recommend enough ♥️”

“My son and daughter both enjoy coming to Razzmatazz. They love the singing and dancing and always want to perform again home what they have learnt. The teachers seem fun and enthusiastic. It's a really lovely drama school!”

“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.”

“My daughter has thrived at Playdays since day one. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, making her feel right at home. The admin team are also fantastic, always helpful and supportive. I'm so grateful for the nurturing environment they've provided.”

“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.”

“We are so happy to have joined the Balham rainbow family! Kirsty, Flavia and all the staff have been so friendly and absolutely amazing with our son and made the settling in days much less anxious for us parents! It's great to see a smile on our son's face when he gets to Rainbow, he's clearly given lots of care and affection. They also organise nice events for kids and for parents. We are feeling very lucky to have found them!!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Misha is great with kids! She is professional, friendly and patient and made each session enjoyable and fun for my daughter. She really tackled my daughter's sound errors and made her progress through a tailor made plan to improve her vocabulary and speech. I'm so grateful for the confidence she built in my daughter, and I would highly recommend.”
