Holistic development in Welling

“I did the Fundamentals and then moved on to do my MA with the Institute of Psychosynthesis, London. This has been my most life altering experience and i hope all those searching for more and meaning to life should give themselves this gift. It is a deeply evoking and moving experience. I have learnt what it means to come home to myself through a long journey with my tutors, facilitators and cohort members. They have A class facilitators who have 3 - 4 decades of experience in this field. So you will be in good hands. Good luck for those choosing to undertake this journey. See you on the other side.”

“Very professional. I had a really high quality training session with Vlad which was very specific to my position and I feel I benifitted a lot from it. The booking process was also very comfortable, emailing with James was quick and easy.”

“My daughter loves her ballet and tap dance classes at Kew Academy of Performing Arts. She started a few months ago and always looks forward to her Saturday classes. She loves Miss Vicky, Miss Emily and Miss Lulu : )”

“We moved our daughter here from another nursery and the staff were very good during the change. She enjoys herself there and clearly likes being with the staff. They have also been very good on supporting with things like potty training.”

“Our daughter has been going here for the last 4 years. It is wonderful to see her grow into a smart and confident girl. All the staff has been very helpful and want the children to prosper. Thank you Elmgrove family.”

“Best gym in the area. Absolutely spoilt for choice with classes and the refurbishment and all new equipment in the gym makes it an outstanding place to train. Manager Adrian and all the lovely staff are really helpful with info and PT sessions. Adrian is a brilliant boxing coach I have loved the new Box12 classes too. The gym is great for everyone between beginners or expert body builders. There’s such a mix of abilities and bodies at the gym I love it.”

“I am so pleased that my daughter attends Tarbiyyah primary school. She is in reception class and has already come a long way. When she started she didn't know phonics and within 4 months, she has learnt to read and write. I'm ever so pleased how much she has matured. The staff are friendly and pleasant. My daughter loves the fact there is no time out used for behaviour management and the staff don't yell at the children but work with them in a gentle manner and being good role models for them. Children are given so many opportunities at such young age to have awareness of the world around them and the staff are so well skilled. I also like the fact children are taught manners, Arabic and Islam but ofcourse everything is tailored to their level of understanding. The school also holds workshops with parents and equips us with the right knowledge and skills to support our children with their learning at home. The team are approachable and supprotive. At work I come across many children from local schools and I have met many children in year 2+ who are not even at the level of the reception children at Tarbiyyah academically and with their mannerisms. I would definitely recommend this school to any parent who would like their children to grow up with excellent life skills, the Arabic language, be nurtured in a positive environment, well mannered, know the correct Islam, the right skills to fit in this society and be academically astute.”

“Fantastic school with great leadership. Always putting the children first. If you’re looking for a school to send your children I recommend you visit St Joseph’s and see for yourself what a great job they do there.”

“I love this school so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤”

“Best primary school in the area!!”

“i love my shool its the best ever”

“Excellent children’s centre. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. My daughter and I love attending the play sessions. Plus it’s all free!”

“This surgery is the best practice that I've been registered with. Dr Walker, Dr Pambos and Dr Moore in particular are very kind, understanding and caring doctors, I feel I am in very good hands, Dr Moore is very patient, understanding and caring and I feel that I'm completely reassured after speaking with her, Thank you very much for your wonderful medical care and kindness that you've shown to me during my difficult times”

“Wonderful nursery, staff are very patient caring and above all take feedback extremely well. They listen to any concerns you may have and are happy to do whatever they can to help your child and you have the best possible experience with them. They have an extremely flexible attitude and are beyond accommodating to ensure parents are happy with how their child is being cared for. Their primary focus is the child and honestly I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our daughter has just started and although she took a while to settle the process was fully child led and inturn our daughter has settled extremely well. Communication from the staff is fantastic always kept up to date on how our girl is doing. Very grateful for such an accommodating and supportive nursery. They put together lots of scheduled activities for the children regularly to enhance their learning in a safe and fun environment.”

“Brilliant school with excellent teaching staff.”

“The school is a great school and i would definitely recommend coming to this school - Nori .”

“I had two of my kids spend years in Busy bees Chiswick and they were just amazing. They treated them as family and took care of them amazingly. Roxanne, Jessica, Mira, Lisa and all the other staff are just amazing.”

“We joined PGP two years ago when our eldest started in Y3, moving from the state sector, and we loved it so much we moved our younger son in Y2 last year rather than wait another year. We looked at numerous local private schools and felt that this hidden gem was ideal for our sons. It’s rigorous enough to satisfy our learning expectations without creating a stressful environment for the boys. The small class sizes mean teachers can really get to know their students and, in turn, children feel nurtured and valued. With subjects, such as English and Maths, streamed in KS2 so that the children are in even smaller groups, so much more, effective, learning is possible without a noisy environment to contend against. Given its size all the children and teachers know each other and there really is a great community feel when one attends assemblies or performances. We have been nothing but impressed by the school, this ranges from admin staff to teachers. There is a constant “can do” positive attitude that permeates it’s culture and I have found that there is clear and prompt communication between the school and parents. For example, pre-Corona, parents were allowed to come in on Friday mornings, during registration, to look through their children’s books and teachers are happy to give feedback/ suggestions throughout the term so the first you hear about any issues will not be at parents’ evening. We were particularly blown away by the way in which the school responded and adapted to the pressures put upon it as a result of Covid-19, especially when compared against other private schools offering nothing near the level we enjoyed. What a rollercoaster of a first year for the Head, Mr Faulkner! Hats off to him and all the amazing teachers! Teaching continued throughout the period, using a variety of IT based resources. Every teacher I saw or heard on Zoom, whether form teachers or specialist, were exemplary in their interactions with the children. As we all now know it’s exhausting to hold meetings on Zoom but they were faultless in the way they taught the children and never revealed exhaustion or stress. PGP responded quickly to parents’ concerns and were open to adapting to suit particular classes. The traditional curriculum continued as did additional subjects, such as art, music and PE which all help round and balance the children and remind them that normally learning is in all areas and there was no reason not to continue in this way. They even continued with assemblies and weekly merit certificates to keep up the whole school morale. I was also impressed that they maintained their pastoral role, ensuring that children’s mental health wasn’t ignored. I see that they will be holding mindfulness sessions in the Autumn term. As with other private schools they offer great pre and post school clubs as well as additional lessons, such as music and LAMDA, that are organised through the day. We can only go on our experience but we would certainly recommend checking it out and hopefully you’ll be as impressed as we were!”

“All round good stimulating education with great activities.”

“Lovely teachers and best school trips”

“Very good school. My son studying here.”

“I would like to use this opportunity to say thankyou to all the staff at leyf especially staff at Barking Riverside nursery. My son has recently passed out from Leyf and now moved on up to big school. Over the past 4 years he was been given what I would consider great nursery care and contributed a lot to his toddler development. For anyone looking for childcare I would highly recommend a Leyf nursery. To Siobhan and her staff at Barking Riverside my profound thanks for everything.”

“Welcoming friendly primary school. Mixed non selective state school.”
