Engaging learning in Uxbridge

“I am proud to share that I have successfully completed my City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Principles at Uxbridge College, within the Department of Engineering. This has been an incredibly rewarding journey that has not only expanded my technical knowledge but also strengthened my practical skills in the field of automotive engineering. A huge part of my success is thanks to the outstanding guidance and support provided by my tutors and the workshop team. I would especially like to express my deep gratitude to *Narinderpal Matharu (Steve)*, whose dedication to teaching and deep understanding of the subject matter made complex concepts easier to grasp. His clear instruction and constant encouragement were invaluable throughout the course. Equally, I must commend *Chris Baker*, whose hands-on expertise and passion for the trade were truly inspiring. Chris has an incredible ability to break down advanced techniques and pass them on to students with clarity and patience. His commitment to developing our real-world skills has equipped us with the confidence needed to succeed in the industry. I would also like to thank *Dain* , the assistant in the Uxbridge College workshop, for his consistent support during practical sessions. Dain's approachability and readiness to help created a welcoming and productive environment where learning was both enjoyable and effective. Uxbridge College has provided a strong foundation for my career in vehicle maintenance and repair, and I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone serious about entering the automotive trade. The staff’s commitment to student success is evident in every aspect of the program.”

“My Son has been going to The Young Once since end of November 2024. When I saw him get off the breakfast table and walk by himself to the baby area, it was such a proud moment. He feels happy and at home there. This is the only nursery we have come across where the lovely staff has a big smile on their face at 8:00 am and same smile and enthusiasm at 6:00pm. This was so important to me. Kelly said to me you had the baby 9 months in your belly then a year of maternity and then you have to leave your baby with strangers, this nursery really gets it and gives our little humans all the love, confidence and care we wish for them. My little boy loves this place and when I ask him are you going to play with Carol. He has the biggest smile on his face and Carol is right, he can say her name now. I am so glad I visited this nursery and my little one is going to have amazing 4 years here.”

“Truly exceptional daycare - a game changer for us! K9 Adventures was recommended by our behaviourist as one of the best in the area, and they absolutely live up to that reputation. This is the first daycare where I've felt 100% comfortable and able to truly trust my dog's care. The difference they've made to Jeff is remarkable. He was destructive and frustrated at previous daycares, but the structured environment and enrichment activities here have transformed him. He's now so much more confident and content at home too. The team are incredibly professional with excellent communication and genuinely care about each dog's wellbeing. Without K9 Adventures, I wouldn't be able to meet my work commitments while ensuring Jeff gets the exercise and stimulation he needs. Quality daycare like this is so rare. The whole team are amazing and we're so grateful for everything they do. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!”

“My daughter loves going to this nursery. They always welcome her with the biggest smile and make her feel special every time. My daughter has learnt so much since being there for the last year or so. She has become more confident and her breath of vocabulary has most definitely widened because of their teaching. When she comes home she is always repeating songs they sing during circle time. I would highly recommend this nursery as not only do they support the child to progress but also give really good advice to parents regarding potty training etc. Whenever I pick my daughter up I love how nicely the children play together and enjoys playing with her friends.”

“Great school! The teachers are incredible, very creative competent and knowledgeable! The administrators are very polite and helpful.From my first day till the last I’ve received the full attention and support of the school staff. This is the best school for studying English and preparing for IELTS. I would highly recommend all my friends to join the school. I want to say thank you to Monika, Mark,Liberty, Jamie Harmi and Rebecca - my beloved teachers. Thank you, you’re absolutely brilliant! I hope see you soon! ♥️”

“Our adventure with Monkey Music started a few years back when I was looking for something to do with my older daughter, that would be entertaining but educational same time. Right now all 3 of my children are attending the classes and I can't praised it enough. The classes are always fun but if you want to see a real benefits of Monkey Music I recommend that you attend it for as long as possible. After a while you will notice you child being more and more confident, getting to know all the songs and moves. You will be amazed how the classes develop your child speech (a case with one of my twins), memory, they will learn a lot of things about music as well as counting, colors, time, how to read music. They will learn about different instruments, how you play them, how do they sound like etc. each term there are new songs/activities.The staff is always very friendly and professional. And to sum it up it is even very educational for us - parents as I learned a lot about music myself :)”

“I have two children at this school, one in Yr. 2 and the other just started Reception having attended the Nursery. Both of them throughly enjoy attending and learning in this environment and it constantly amazes me just how varied their knowledge has become. From day one (2years ago) when there were only 43 4 year olds, to this day of over 250 pupils, there has been a consistent and tenacious focus on delivering the best learning for all of its pupils. The leadership team are warm and welcoming, making themselves highly visible at the school gate and always willing to listen to parents' views or offer advice. They have set out a strong set of values and life skills which are positively reinforced across the school in a consistent way from class teacher to whole assembly. For some of these traits the children are asked to behave like a particular ' Learnasaur ' character such as the Tryasaurus who is always willing to try new things or a Sharadactyl who shares their learning resources. Both my kids have really engaged with this type of encouragement and it is commonplace to hear us talking about them at home. All the staff that have been recruited display a huge passion for delivering the best experience for the children, whether they're dinner ladies, site managers or have office roles. The teaching staff are great and display the same understated professionalism day in day out, they have embraced the opportunity this new school presents and are working well together to deliver a first class education. Mr Butler's musical influences have shown themselves many times over the last couple of years during assemblies and Nativity plays. My personal highlight was last years Year 1 performance which involved the whole year group, lasted over 40 mins and was incredible to watch, it was hard to believe we were watching 6 year olds as the performance level and engagement across the whole group was so strong and mature. Other highlights from last year included the children asking Boris Johnson some tough questions when he visited the school and the Pupils performing their 'Big Dance' at the summer fayre.”

“Mr Singhs review: If I would give 10 STARS I would ! Attended a Personal 1:1 open day with the Headteacher Mr Daniel Cowling on Fri 11th June 2021. He is doing a superlative job.

“Lovely environment, teachers are all brilliant, kids are so excited when they are there, the area is brilliant for the kids to”

“My 2 daughters age 5 and 4 absolutely love going to their dance classes. They have been going for a year and performed in a show in October. The teachers are really good with children and they teach different styles of dance. They also do gymnastics.”

“CMC is my Child’s second home. The entire staff and management have cared exceptionally for my child since the first day. I have not had any cause to complain about anything. I am very impressed with the professionalism, attention, and warmth that the staff at CMC consistently provide. And I recommend the nursery and early childcare at CMC for any mum who wants exceptional services.”

“Brilliant school with excellent teaching staff.”

“The teachers are so warm and loving. Would definitely recommend this Pre-school”

“I was in year 6 4 years ago. my name is james”

“Glebe has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Teachers and Head Teacher all very approachable and helpful. Well behaved children. Really pleased with Glebe. Well done!”

“I would like to thank the administration team and teaching staff for the marvellous job they are doing. They are taking the responsibility to educate our children the Arabic language. Many parents do not appreciate that learning Arabic will not only make their children stand out from other job applicants in the future, but will also offer the opportunity to work in influential Middle Eastern countries. The school is doing an amazing job and I really appreciate the time and excellent effort they are putting year after year for the sake of our children. Strongly recommended.”

“It's great my children have so many friends”

“I strongly recommend this place as it establishes good behaviour in every student via a positive feedback loop which rewards them for a good learning attitude. The staff are also highly trained and I would like to thank them all for their hard and dedicated work. My child stayed at helix for 6 months and was able to completely change his attitude. He returned to a different high school and was able to pass his GCSE exams. Thank you so much for all your hard work.”

“Both my kids attend st Bernadette and are very happy there, great school, teachers and community spirit”
