Holistic development in Welling

“As a new member have had a wonderful experience. I'd like to thank Julie on reception especially for her warm welcome, her patient explanations and her enquires as to how the classes have gone. The centre is lucky to have her on their staff”

“Fantastic school, my kids love their teachers. Headteacher knows every child by name and greets them in front of school gate in the mornings. Keep up the great job!”

“We were having concerns about my sons conversational skills when he joined nursery one year ago, Nursery staff is so experienced and equipped with tips and tricks to improve the conversation of preschoolers, He picked up quickly with all the support from Nursery staff, that after one year he is constant chatter box now, Newton farm preschool nursery according to me is one of the best preschools in the area.”

“Fantastic school that mixes the best aspects of the French and Anglo-saxon academic systems. Strives for academic excellence while nurturing non-academic talents and creativity in the students. Teachers are excellent and students come out truly bilingual.”

“This was my old school 1964 - 1971 the boys play ground was on the left at the end of the long drive and girls and juniors to the left my wost teachers were from class 7 -9 but at class 10 Mr Williams was my best teacher this school had its mini swimming pool to the rear of the dinning area in the boys playground and still had bomb shelters Beside the play ground happy memories”

“At was my school last year at I miss all my best teaches Karim”

“I highly recommend therapist like Mihaela. Thank you so much!”

“"When I started working with Tama I felt completely lost in life, I had low self-esteem and little direction. Tama had a warmth and compassion that made me feel at ease straight away which allowed me to be open and honest throughout our time together. Thank you Tama for helping me find myself again. I now have aspirations and can see a future once more. Your support has been invaluable." CG, 46 "”

“This centre was and continues to be fantastic support for our family. I was saddened to hear that the services were reduced to to cuts :( Staff are fantastic and v knowledgeable.”

“The staff were very good and friendly with my Godson when we went for appointment. They made us feel welcome and it was a very safe and pleasant environment filled with toys to keep them occupied while they carry out the assessments they need to do.”

“I took my 2y.o. grandson to The Willows drop-in playgroup yesterday afternoon- he loved it. I thought there was a good variety of play things - all with an educational value - and that phones are to be kept in your bag. Nice play-leaders too. Amazing that it's free”

“The most wonderful nursery setting. My daughter has absolutely thrived there and the staff are all marvellous. Couldn’t ask for better. 10/10”

“We are so happy to have chosen The Pavillion Montessori School! Our son loves it! In the short time he’s been attending, he has learned so much. I have always liked Montessori and I love the commitment this school has with Montessori concepts and methods, not to mention the amazing teachers! It’s a wonderful and nurturing environment and I couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Greenwood Nursery. Coming from a previous nursery where a serious case of abuse had been announced a year ago, trusting a new setting again was not easy for us. At first, we also weren’t fully convinced by the layout, as the nursery is split into two separate buildings. But in the end, this turned out to be a real positive;everything runs smoothly, and the setup actually works incredibly well. The staff are truly fantastic. They provide detailed handovers every day and post frequently on the app, where we can clearly see how busy and engaged they are with the children. Our child was excited to go to nursery every morning and absolutely loved every single member of the team. One of the things we appreciate the most is the variety of activities they offer. They don’t just stay indoors;they take the children out regularly, and they even organised visits to a local care home. This is one of the most heartwarming activities we’ve seen, benefiting both the children and the elderly residents. They also go to the playground twice a day, and at the end of our son’s final day, he came home with a whole bag full of arts and crafts he had made. Although our son is now in school and attends a different nursery for afterschool hours (purely for convenience), we truly miss Greenwood. One of their standout qualities is their openness: parents can come inside at pick-up, walk in freely, and see the children in action without making them uncomfortable or interrupting. This transparency gave us a huge sense of trust and peace of mind;something we haven’t found elsewhere, where doors barely open and everything feels much more closed off. At Greenwood, you can pop in at any time and see exactly what’s going on. They have nothing to hide, and it shows. We would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent. For us, it’s the best nursery in town. If they had an outdoor space, it would be a 10/10;but since they go outside twice a day anyway, I think they fully deserve that 10/10. Definitely give them a try. We’re so grateful for the amazing experience they provided our little one.”

“Sudbrook is a lovely school, the children are loved and taught and come out with a good background. There is a great mix of physical and mental work coupled with healthy amounts of play. Honestly we could have done with having longer hours but if that's the worst problem then they are doing very very well. Highly recommended for your little ones. Not recommended as a sixth form college :) ......................”

“Our daughter went to Little School on the Green and we found it wonderful. I don't think we could have found a more caring friendly setting for our toddler. Highly recommended.”

“We’ve had the best experience at The White House. My son, who is now at a Senior school choosing GCSES, achieved excellent offers thanks to the support of his amazing teachers and the school. My daughter, in her final years, is thriving academically, excelling in sports, and has built strong relationships with peers. The school is like a community and We’re grateful for everything this school has provided and highly recommend it. Be sad to when my daughter’s time comes to an end but all good things …”

“For any parent that is anxious about leaving their little one, I can assure you that your child is in good hands at Melrose Nursery. The staff are extremely bubbly and are always happy, understanding and caring. They are always happy to help. My son absolutely loves going to the nursery! They helped him achieve all of his age related targets. I am so happy we chose Melrose ❤️”

“The staff are friendly and really go that extra mile with the children . My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her work experience and plenty of activities for the nursery children to experience. Thank you for giving my daughter this wonderful opportunity.”

“This school has such a special place in my (and my children’s) heart. The attentiveness, kindness and care of all the teachers/staff is unmatched. I love that they put heart into making the environment warm and homey; and it has a great garden space too. They truly care about getting to know your child and they care about you as a parent as well. The school has a beautiful parent & child group where my child and I met many friends. It also has a wonderful, tight-knit community within the school. They even offer parent workshops from time to time that really make us parents feel supported through different phases of our kids life. I have so much more to say but I’ll leave with this being said: the greatest gift you can give to your child is to let their imagination be encouraged and nurtured in a safe environment - and this school is it.”

“Great and very well run kindergarten. The attention to detail and care of the key workers towards the children is exemplary.”

“My grandson attends this beautiful nursery, very friendly and personal to each child's needs. Staff are lovely and very caring. Management are great and always ready to support your children's needs/requirements. My grandson arrives happy and never wants to leave, he's goes on lots of trips and walks but his favourite part is the soft play area.”

“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii head”

“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.”
