Fun activities in Richmond

“Our son has been at Kateys for 9 months now and we couldn't be happier. The staff are so welcoming and loving towards the children. The range of activities, play and learning they do is outstanding. Each day useful feedback is given and periodically more thorough feedback in the form of a learning journal and parents evenings. I'm always astonished by the range and depth of topics covered. The setting is excellent too with lots of outdoor space and nearby points of interest. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely little jewel of a cinema tucked off the centre of Richmond. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely visit again in the near future.”

“Richmond Rascals are by far the best doggy daycare establishment I’ve encountered. Firstly, they’re very friendly, and the shop itself is homely and nicely decorated. Secondly, they definitely take care of the dogs entrusted to them very well. I had a dog that was terminally ill, and the days he spent here were amongst the happiest in his life. At times it seemed he would be more excited to go here than go home! I would absolutely recommend Richmond Raacals to anyone.”

“Baby Sensory is a fantastic class to attend for new mothers and their babies. My son and I joined when he was a few months old (we waited too long tbh, I wish we joined from the start). The activities are well thought out and the props and room set up is really engaging for the babies. The classes are a great way to also connect with other mums and make genuine friends in the local area. If you don't fancy making friends, it's still nice to check in with other mums. My son and I will miss the classes and Renata specifically. She's a wonderful lead for the sessions and she takes the time to properly interact with the children and parents. It's well worth it if you're looking for a class for your baby.”

“The staff is very friendly and they truly care for the children. My daughter is very happy there, so we are.”

“I have been coming here with my two little boys for the last 2 years. They love it and so do we! Staff have always been amazing and so good with the kids, space is lovely c always clean and lovely toys. Great coffee! And it’s the perfect size so you can get a few mins to have your coffee in peace as you can always see where they are . Couldn’t recommend high enough for a morning or afternoon out with your little ones !”

“A fun, interactive space to climb, run, jump and explore everything that a plant needs to grow. Based in a natural setting the size of 40 tennis courts, children can explore all the things plants need to grow in our Children's Garden, designed for children from 2 to 12 years old. Over 100 mature trees are spread over this beautiful landscape, with hidden treasures and adventures around every corner, leading to a 4m high canopy walk wrapped around a 200-year-old oak in the heart of the Children's Garden. No pre-booking required – all visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the day until one hour before the Gardens close.”

“The finest slow-cooked beef rib I have ever encountered. This dish was a revelation: perfectly succulent, masterfully cooked, and bursting with depth of flavor. An absolutely unforgettable plate. I would wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to everyone.”

“A nice little park. Since it's located a bit inside, i don think it's usually crowded. A very calm place with safe slides, swing etc to play for the kids.”

“The one oclock club is like the dream backgarden but of your best friends house so you don’t have to tidy up! Your children can run wild with no shoes, get wonderfully wet and grubby and generally have a bit of a 90s childhood experience. There a thousand different toys to play and experiment. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 1 year old and it suits them both perfectly. They can explore the space independently and it’s the perfect size for me to keep an eye on them without hovering over them. We love it!”

“I had an absolute ball at this place .. I am 51 and was with my 12 year old niece! Climbing and Jumping! Super fun! The slide was ace too!”

“The coaches at Sports Generation are excellent. My son did not enjoy swimming at all before we joined Sports Generation and the coaches there quickly managed to get him really excited about swimming lessons. We went from my son dreading swimming lessons to him actually really looking forward to them. They have taught him excellent skills and technique as well - all in a fun way.”

“Lovely staff, very attentive. When the item I wanted wasn’t in store, they did the online order for me.”

“All the guys at the desk are super helpful. The facilities are excellent, I used to play badminton there when it had the Whitton "Dome" visible from the A316, but now it's been brought bang up to date with the new school buildings. The only slight downside is that a badminton training there is more expensive than Hampton with the danger amount of time and the same coach”

“Our daughter absolutely loves going to Petite Perfomers Ballet classes as well as Dance Camps. All the teachers are really lovely and great with kids. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“amazing school. i came here in year 5 and now im in year 10 in waldegrave, 100% recomened by me!”

“Our two kids have attended Montys since they were one, and it’s been an exceptional experience - a true home away from home. The team’s experience, knowledge, kindness, and dedication are second to none, creating a nurturing environment where kids thrive. Ours have been incredibly happy and were well-prepared for school when the time came. I wholeheartedly recommend Montys to any parent, and every family we know who’s sent their child there shares the same enthusiasm for this outstanding team. Last but by no means least, I must mention the office efficiency and food they make for the kids too. Eternally grateful for the Montys family. I just wish they didn’t have to grow up!”

“Our daughter has been enjoying Playball (Richmond) for the past two years now, and we intend to continue for as long as possible as she absolutely loves it! With Bonnie and Trevor's encouragement and expert tuition, we have watched our little girl grow in confidence and develop motor skills which support her physical development and ability, nurturing her interest and curiosity in sports and being generally more active. Something that particularly amazed me was when Trevor ran a special birthday playball session for about 15 toddlers for our daughters 3rd birthday (most of which had never participated in playball before), whereby, though his excitable and encouraging style, every child, without exception, remained engaged and participated the whole way through - other parents also commented at just how amazed they were to see their children enjoy it so much and to take part. Even those that had a tendency to be shy, or didnt know many of the other children, got stuck in! Thank you, Bonnie and Trevor, you guys have been simply amazing. Enjoy the summer and we look forward to returning to Playball again next term!”
