The 30 Best Kids in Twickenham

“Wow... what can I say about The Complete Smile in Twickenham. From searching online for a decent dentist to making an appointment for a consultation to then beginning my treatment with Abi, I knew I was in good hands. Each step of the process was professionally explained to me which not only helped my understanding, but also alleviated any fears I may have had. My dental health has dramatically improved and brushing and cleaning technique has also altered so as to maintain the very high standard of work that I've received. Over the many years that I've visited numerous dentists I've never had one that broke everything down to me, which really did help immensely. The whole experience was a positive one and I can highly recommend The Complete Smile Twickenham to anyone that cares about their dental health.”

“Our son, who is 2yrs old now, has been at Beaumont House full time since he was 11 Months old. We have a very good communication with the staff, everybody is very caring, flexible and attentive to him. He is very happy going to the nursery, that's the principal for us. He loves doing messy play, singing, playing in the garden and participating to lots of the experiences that it is proposed!”

“Had a delicious birthday meal here last week. Food was absolutely delicious (we opted for the tapas style dishes which were all very yummy) and our servers were extremely kind and welcoming!”

“This place is amazing. Awesome selection of high quality baby clothes, shoes, toys and equipment !”

“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.”

“HKF is a really fantastic nursery. We had two children who went there, and the staff really got to know them and supported their unique personalities. The nursery has a lovely garden that the children use all the time for outdoor learning and exploring. Monika, the owner and manager, is in every day and knows all the children, which is really reassuring. There’s always plenty going on with lots of activities, but the kids also get time to chill out when they need it. What really stood out for us was how great the staff are at helping children understand and manage their emotions, teaching kindness, and letting them grow in their own way. We honestly couldn’t recommend HKF more!”

“Don't let the negative reviews put you off booking. We really enjoyed our stay in one of the 'Premier Plus' rooms, it was lovely and clean, the bed was comfy and all the staff were really nice and helpful. We ordered breakfast, which is served in the pub (The Winning Post), which is on the side of the building. It was amazing; there was plenty of choice (even as a vegetarian), and the cooked breakfast was made to order. Again, all the Staff were sociable and friendly. We will definitely be back.”

“Very nice academy! Professional and fun!”

“My son had such a wonderful time at kerswell, the staff was amazing. He is now in school and his little sister has started back in January and loves going there. The children are very well cared for. The transition from preschool to school was very smooth too, he had learn everything he needed to be confident before starting reception.”

“Just like everyone says John is extremely professional. Turned up exactly when he said he would and was very prompt at answering emails. The bouncy castle was fantastic ans really made our 4 year olds birthday party”

“Dr Nicole Sturzenbaum is the best paediatric dentist! She treated both of my children and I genuinely cannot fault her. She has a wonderful manner with children and immediately puts them (and parents) at ease. She is calm, patient and reassuring, and explains everything clearly, which makes the whole experience relaxed and stress-free. My children feel comfortable and confident going to their appointments, which says everything. I would highly recommend Dr Nicole to any parent looking for an outstanding paediatric dentist.”

“Lovely and fresh Italian food. The ravioli portion was made by Yolanda Hadid. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.”

“I took my two kids, ages 8 and 12, to today's show in Southampton, Mayflower Park. We all enjoyed it very much.”

“Pano & Tony are brilliant hairdressers, they cut my whole families hair. The rest of the staff are lovely & friendly & the salon has a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended, I wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Great little theatre for intimate shows - lots of history”

“Excellent experience at Belle Baby in Twickenham! We walked in without an appointment to explore strollers and baby essentials. Ermina, store manager, was fantastic. She gave us space to browse but was quick to help when we needed it. Her approach was perfect - asking questions to understand our needs and showing relevant items without any pressure to buy. She was very informative and even suggested we take time to think before making a decision. Definitely will recommend this store for expecting parents!”

“Food is so delicious and staff is friendly too. Great place to hangout.”

“A fantastic place for you and your little one to get pool confidence. We have been coming here for over three years now, and my little ones confidence has grown so much, a total water baby! Lessons are fun and interactive with teachers making 1on1 time even in really busy classes. The facilities and changing rooms are always clean and the staff are so lovely and helpful. There is a great café with good snacks to chill out and feed after the lesson, and great to socialise with other mums with little ones the same age.”

“The pizza had a variety of ingredients which all complemented the overall taste. My family and I really enjoyed the pizza. I recommend this pizza place to others. Thank you”

“Good coffee, cute decor, really good range of lunch foods. Service was a little cold to begin with but it improved with each interaction. Overall a nice cafe and good to support independent business”

“An amazing place with great food, drinks and extremely hospitable! I had a great time and would 10/10 recommend.”

“I had the pleasure of Salvina G, whom looked after me at the tills and even supported me with a complex query regarding a damaged item. She was incredibly kind, helpful and emphatic. I send her the very best of wishes and hope the store manager shares the praise. She is a true asset to the store.”

“Sheesh mahal We always look for a bring your own drink restaurant as they usually have the best food! This restaurant did not disappoint! We had the most amazing welcome. Were given a lovely booth for 2! We started with Poppadums and dips. Delicious! One was unique made from coconut!! With our main we chose the house special lamb chops, chicken madras, pilau rice and peshwari naan! The lamb chops were seconds to none! Unbelievable! When visiting new places we love to go to an Indian and this was in our top 10. The food was first class.”

“So glad I chose to go to Charlotte, amazing experience and very pleased with the outcome.”

“Good fast, friendly service and delicious pizza”

“The gym staff here are outstanding. I would like to single out Ula in particular who, after I injured my knee, put me on a special programme. Weeks later I attended a physio at the hospital who said I was on the road to recovery. Full marks to her. Pity about the state of the pool.”

“Great local amenity with a 33.3 meter indoor pool (for those with confused fitness trackers) a smaller outdoor pool and teaching pool for kids, it is now kept clean and well maintained considering it is a public pool. The swimming changing facilities have been upgraded, and they offer great showers in a clean area. While the gym is a bit tired, there are plans for renovations and upgrades. The reception staff are friendly and have a great sense of humour, especially considering some of the flak they get from a handful of grumpy visitors. Parking is pricey, so public transport is the best way to go. Simple booking system, so book in advance or phone if you want to be sure to get a swim. Limited spaces which makes it much easier for lane swimming. 250 capacity for swim and stay sessions in outdoor pool, so check weather and book on sunny day.”

“Brilliant ballet school with wonderful teachers”
