Individualized learning in Welling

“I am a new retiree and have recently become a volunteer at Barnfield Riding for Disabled/Riding School. I didn’t know what to expect …but the kindness and expert care shown to the horses and clients is exactly what I hoped. At age 66..and having not ridden for many many years..I have been inspired by the staff here to soon start my own riding lessons and aim to get back in the saddle…something I never thought I would ever do. I unreservedly recommend. (maybe anyone reading this might consider volunteering too?)”

“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”

“I highly recommend this nursery. My son, Sayyid, has been attending for three and a half years, and he feels safe and happy there. Every day, he’s excited to go, and he loves everyone who cares for him. The staff are always smiling, friendly, and make him feel like it’s a second home. As a mother, seeing him so happy gives me confidence and peace of mind. Sayyid started attending the nursery as a baby, and it’s been amazing to watch him grow and learn so much over the years. A special thanks to Suri, the nursery manager, who has carefully selected such a wonderful team. She is always welcoming, approachable, and available, and I truly believe the nursery wouldn’t be the same without her.”

“Such a lovely fitted t-shirt with an even stronger message behind it! Lauren communicated well and the t-shirt was delivered within the time scale. 100% recommend!”

“Best haircut place in Hayes. Highly recommended I have been going to chandla for years and I have always been satisfied with my haircuts. They know what they are doing and I urge anyone looking for a good barber to try this place out”

“I was unable to get pregnant for 5 years and was waiting for my IVF treatment to start .While waiting I found this clinic by chance. I booked to have tubal catheterisation (unblocking) as I already knew what was causing my infertility. I was able to get pregnant by end of the month. I couldn't thank the doctor, nurse, radiographer and staff enough. I have my beautiful baby because of you. Thank you, thank you, Thank you.”

“Fantastic Service, very convenient and clean.”

“"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 "”

“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”

““Inspiring our children and community to be the very best that they can be!” As a Trustee I feel really privileged and proud to be involved in this journey. “Inclusive” is not only our name but core to everything we do to help our community fulfil the hopes and dreams of our children. Every day our 3 Watford primary schools – Beechfield, Cherry Tree and Laurance Haines work closely together to create great opportunities which inspire our pupils to learn and develop skills to adapt and succeed in our ever changing world. Each school is very much a part of the local community with its own distinct characteristics and curriculum –we don’t believe that one size fits all but a nurturing philosophy underlines everything we do. As part of a group of schools we provide opportunities for our children to participate and share in exciting projects across the schools – whether sporting, outdoors or creative - for example our art display in Watford Museum or the more recent song written and performed to celebrate and thank Covid-19 key workers. Supporting our people to succeed is a core belief and strength – we are lucky to include former pupils among our teaching staff! Working together enables the sharing and development of best practice whilst addressing workload too. Good career progression is available across the Trust schools. “if you want to go fast, go alone.

“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!”

“Our eldest attended here for one year. It is an excellent pre-school wonderfully located in the middle of West Harrow Park serving the West Harrow community and beyond.”

“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.”

“Cannot recommend oranges and lemons highly enough.The staff are so welcoming and easy to talk to, a nice atmosphere in the nursery. The hall is set up well and not too overwhelming or loud. They also have a big outside play area with plenty of toys.”

“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 …”

“Best Nursery ever, my child loved it there. Staff is amazing, they take care of children like they were their own. My daughter loves there and I can see how she was improving with hers behaviour, speech, manners. Staff is so helpfull and kind. Love every single of them and am so great full to them. I suggest anyone and everyone this amazing nursery, you will not regret and main thing our child will be happy and safe there.”

“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.”

“This is a great nursery and I can highly recommend it. The indoor space is so large, the food is cooked fresh daily and I find the staff very professional. My son has absolutely loved the nursery and I feel confident leaving him in their care (Mary Land).”

“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.”

“Our son has been at Little Cherubs for 2.5 years. He has been in all 3 class levels and we are delighted with how he is looked after, nurtured and developed. He loves going there, the staff and activities are second to none”
