“Manor Oak is a nurturing, family oriented primary school. The staff really care and are very supportive of the children and parents. I have had four children go to Manor Oak and i have been a happy parent with happy children here for many years. They have thrived and have enjoyed coming to school. The SEN support here is also fantastic. I would highly recommend Manor Oak Primary School for your childs education and wellbeing.”

“Jim is great! Excellent communication and very helpful. He installed a pickup in my acoustic and has helped me with some repairs and tricky troubleshooting. Very friendly and helpful and fair on price.”

“I have had multiple treatments performed by Rowena and I have been so pleased with the results every time! On my most recent visit I had a small amount of lip filler as I wanted a change but was very anxious about overdoing it. Rowena listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel very comfortable. I love how it turned out - subtle but amazing!”

“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.”

“Jilly is such a kind & lovely lady making me & the dog very welcome into her home! She is the only person I trust to pamper my little Maltese! She also does one amazing job! Will never look else where!”

“Quicky, efficient click and collect service. Lovely staff and great customer service even when the shop was busy before the mad back to school rush.”

“Alex has walked our dog on a regular basis and is fantastic. Very hard working, ensures the highest quality of care. Would highly recommend.”

“As a past user of Shakhlo's services at Kumon, I can attest to her brilliance as an instructor. Shakhlo's exceptional customer service skills and personalised approach made our experience truly memorable. She created a supportive and nurturing environment where we felt valued and encouraged to succeed. Her genuine care for her students' progress and well-being was evident in every interaction. She was always available to address our questions or concerns, providing valuable guidance and support throughout our Kumon journey. I am grateful for the positive impact she had on our learning experience. Thank you Shakhlo.”

“My son has attended here for coming on a year now. He is 2.5 years old. This is a very good nursery, the staff are all friendly and genuine, no dodgy character’s or anyone that makes you feel unsure or uneasy. They are very good with their Tapestry App, you get daily photos/updates and you can tell they really do make an effort with the kids and their early learning. My son has come on really well with speech, shapes, colours, counting and ABC’s and he always comes home singing all the words of lots of nursery rhymes. You never see any kids looking unhappy when dropping off or picking up. I have two children and moved around a bit in the past so I have worked with quite a few different nursery’s and I am confident this is a good all round nursery. They are very affordable too which is why I have given 5* - Thank you to the team xx”

“My daughter has been attending Threshers Nursery for the past three years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. From day one, the staff have treated her like one of their own. They genuinely care about the children, they know their personalities, their routines, and what makes them smile. Every time I dropped her off or picked her up, she was happy, engaged, and clearly having fun. Rain or shine, the team always managed to bring positive energy and warmth to the day. That kind of consistency isn’t easy, but they make it look effortless. One thing I especially appreciated was the sense of freedom they gave the children. Kids should be kids, not constantly wiped down or overly restricted. At Threshers, my daughter was encouraged to explore, get messy, and learn through experience. She became very independent and confident, learning to do things on her own with gentle support when needed. Before this, she had attended a different nursery where she cried almost every day. But here, she was happy from the very beginning. That says a lot. I also want to mention that I always respected their work, I wasn’t the type of parent to micromanage or constantly complain. I trusted them, and they proved over and over that they deserved that trust. In three years, I’ve had zero issues. Thank you so much to the entire Threshers Team. You’ve made such a difference in our lives, and I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to other families.”
