Learning development in London

“My Daughter has been going to stagecoach for many years now and really looks forward to her classes every Saturday. I’ve seen her confidence grow and stagecoach is definitely the one to thank for that. The experiences offered to the kids are brilliant, from doing shows at local fairs, workshops, and even big theatre productions. Felicity and the team are so passionate and professional, I would definitely recommend for any child who is interested in all things singing, dancing and acting!”

“My son and daughter both enjoy coming to Razzmatazz. They love the singing and dancing and always want to perform again home what they have learnt. The teachers seem fun and enthusiastic. It's a really lovely drama school!”

“Achieve Arts are amazing! My both daughters have been going for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. All the teachers and the Leadership team are absolutely lovely, and you can see how much care and thought they put in the curriculum so that the children can develop their skills, confidence and have fun at the same time. And you should see their annual shows, it's West End quality!”

“My experience at City College Stratford was challenging at first, encountering people with different accents, but as we progressed in our classes and with the help of the tutors, what was difficult became easy. I have achieved one of the goals I set for myself upon arriving in this country, which is to work in the field I love and to do a good job with complete confidence. Thank you, City College Stratford.”

“Learnt about this nursery by chance in the internet, and I couldn't feel happier of having done so. Despite that my daughter's mother tongue wasn't English, it was admirable to see how well she adapted, since the very first day! All thanks to the excellent team of professionals at Bees Knees, they've supported us whenever we've needed them. I absolutely recommend this nursery.”

“Top nursery. The staff and in particular, the management are amazing. So patient with the children and my son settled in really quickly. Highly recommend!”

“We’ve been coming to baby sensory classes with Alex for 7 months and we absolutely love them! The classes have lovely creative elements that keep the babies entertained. It’s also nice to take a break from having to entertain your baby yourself and meet other mums.”

“My daughter has thrived at Playdays since day one. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, making her feel right at home. The admin team are also fantastic, always helpful and supportive. I'm so grateful for the nurturing environment they've provided.”

“Our two sons are currently attending Playdays, in the baby room and in the preschool room. We are extremely happy with the nursery. The staff is very kind and caring and most of them have been around for many years which is great as a lot of nurseries nearby have a high staff turnover. The nursery is very well managed by Miss Kerry and everything runs smoothly. The children have the opportunity to do lots of activities (baby yoga, dance, french, swimming...) as well as regular trips to the park. We would 100% recommend this nursery to parents.”

“We are so happy to have joined the Balham rainbow family! Kirsty, Flavia and all the staff have been so friendly and absolutely amazing with our son and made the settling in days much less anxious for us parents! It's great to see a smile on our son's face when he gets to Rainbow, he's clearly given lots of care and affection. They also organise nice events for kids and for parents. We are feeling very lucky to have found them!!”

“Our son started at First Day Nursery this summer when he was just under a year old. He settled in within a couple of days and absolutely loves it there.The staff are super friendly and engaging, providing daily updates via the app as well as during pick up. They are also invested in our son's development and we are constantly impressed with the new things he has learnt at nursery. Huge thank you to all the staff, especially Kay, Kim and Liberty who have been key contact people for my son.”

“Our son has been at Home from Home for a year now, and we’ve been really happy with the care and support he’s received. He’s developed such a lovely bond with the staff, who are always nurturing and genuinely care about him and all the children in their care. Since joining, we’ve seen him grow so much in confidence, which is a real testament to the warm and encouraging environment the team creates. The staff are always coming up with creative, engaging activities, and we love that the children are regularly out and about in the community. Imagination, fun, and kindness are clearly at the heart of everything they do, and we’re so grateful to everyone at Home from Home for helping our son thrive.”

“Both of my children attend this nursery. One started at 10 months old and one at 2 years old. The staff are absolutely amazing with both of them. I can truly say I have so much faith in all of the staff and the nursery itself! I even leave my children there beyond there normal hours and the nursery are happy to work around my work schedule. My children love the nursery and have made so much progress. This nursery has been a god sent to me - really amazing work guys! Thank you Magicwords Nursery!”

“Two of my children have attended this nursery and both absolutely loved their experiences. Both developed strong bonds with the staff and my daughter currently attending just adores them and they have been a brilliant support in her care and development since she was 9 months old. Now that they have moved to a new premises the setting itself cannot be faulted, they have beautiful classrooms and an outside space that the children can run around and play which was the only downside with the old building.”

“Flying tots is amazing, Sharon and her team are the ideal people one can ask to work with open communication, support with getting the right documents like the DBS, certificates and trainings to nurture holistic chaperones. Loved the help I received with my DBS processing and Most of all, I loved the souvenirs we received, they really inspire you that you are indeed a flying chaperone who will go places.”

“Owls Daycare has been like a second home for Emily since she was 9 months old, and now, as she approaches 4, she still loves every moment there! Emily was one of the first children to attend when Owls opened, and the support she's received over the years has been amazing. As she's simultaneously learning two languages—English as her native language and Portuguese as her heritage language—the team has been incredibly supportive in helping her develop strong communication skills. Their understanding and encouragement have been instrumental in her language growth. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being and development. Emily has flourished in this nurturing environment, not only socially and academically but also in expressing herself confidently in both languages. Parents receive daily updates on their child’s progress during pick-up, along with photos and reports via the Tapestry online platform. I’m so grateful for the love and care Owls Daycare has shown Emily, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her early years. A big thank you to Siobhan, James, Kayleigh, Ciara, Giovana, Ciaran and Jane Thank you for being such an important part of her life and learning journey! P.S. The photos are from her very first day at Owls!”

“I can not recommend Colby Nursery enough. My daughter attended there for almost a year and we were very sad to say goodbye last week due to moving away. Mary and all the team were absolutely fantastic, they provided a safe, secure and nurturing environment for my daughter to learn and develop. The garden is a welcome addition to the nursery ensuring they children have plenty of outdoor time and fresh air. It really is a fantastic environment for small children and we are so happy and grateful for the time our daughter E had there! We will miss you all so much Colby Road Nursery! Xx”

“Love simply kids for wraparound care and holiday clubs. The team behind this business truly care for your children and go above and beyond. They are a special bunch.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“My daughter attends the nursery and could not be happier. The staff are incredible and obviously really care about the children - my daughter has built fantastic bonds with not only her key workers but all of the staff. Every day we are given detailed hand overs about her adventures at nursery and the different ways they are focusing on her development. We have watched her flourish since she started attending and it was been wonderful to see. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, it feels like a second family and we are so lucky to have found it!”

“My 3 year old is attending this nursery and he is really happy. Every time when i go to pick him up always a happy smile on his face. He definitely enjoys his time there. Also the members are really gentle, caring and understanding.”

“Misha is great with kids! She is professional, friendly and patient and made each session enjoyable and fun for my daughter. She really tackled my daughter's sound errors and made her progress through a tailor made plan to improve her vocabulary and speech. I'm so grateful for the confidence she built in my daughter, and I would highly recommend.”

“I run my own spiritual 1:1 retreats, and after 6 days I can be left feeling very drained of my spiritual energy. I decided to have a Reiki session from Bernadette to re charge my batteries. I must say this was a beautiful experience. I felt tingles of energy from within, a sense of total relaxation, peace and love. Bernadette also shared some personal information which came through to her on the session which I'm very grateful for. This experience has left me feeling fully energised, and Bernadette is a beautiful soul who has so much to offer others in her sessions.”

“Toffee was looked after well here. The staff are friendly and helpful and really care about your pets wellbeing. I have no hesitation in rebooking with them.”

“I can happily recommend KingstonK9S for puppy training. Heather has fixed my puppy’s issues with lead walking, separation anxiety, recall training & more than I can list here. Heather is a lovely clever lady who has a true understanding of dogs.”

“We absolutely love smart pooches! We wouldn’t get our two dogs groomed anywhere else. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable service!”

“I used Capricorn for my first property purchase and the service was fantastic the whole way through. Nioosha Sajadi is a brilliant broker; incredibly knowledgeable and clear, and took the time to answer every one of my questions. She is also professional, friendly and very kind and reassuring. I can't recommend her more highly.”

“The K2 Academy offers a distinctive, stretching and rewarding contemporary jewellery making programme. K2’s approach to design development leads to the creation of unique jewellery pieces and collections and the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in jewellery making and design. Katrin and Kelvin bring their considerable talents knowledge and experience to their teaching approach providing insight, constructive challenge, practical support and encouragement. I would urge anyone looking for a structured accredited course or specialist one-off jewellery making workshops to opt for K2. You will not find a better place to realise your creative aspirations. You will learn techniques that are rarely available on other courses such as Electroforming and Kum-boo and the small class groups mean that you will be able to share knowledge and learn from other students as well. If you can get to London then I recommend going along to one of the Cockpit Arts (Bloomsbury) Open Days and use the opportunity to visit the K2 workspace and be blown away by the skill, creativity and uniqueness of the students work. Then sign up, you won’t look back.”

“Great job, entrusting your baby to have their ears pierced is a big deal at 3 months. Rob did a great job both putting me at easy and piercing my littleones ears. Nice selection of earrings at reasonable prices which included piercing and aftercare liquid with instructions. I travelled over an hour across London but it was well worth the drive. Parking available nearby. Thx”

“A perfect venue for organising a kids party: very clean and cozy, with lots of toys, balloons, well-organised and convenient, with very helpful Sandra. :) We celebrated 1 year birthday of our 7 NCT group kids and it went very well, everyone enjoyed it a lot!”
