“My four children attended St Edmund's and all were very happy. They received an excellent all-round education from an experienced and caring staff, in a warm but ambitious environment. I am now a governor at St Edmund's and am impressed every single time I attend the school for visits or meetings, at the absolute passion that all school staff have to ensure that every single child makes excellent progress and learns lifelong skills. I can't recommend this school highly enough, I am proud of my children and what they have achieved and give a good part of the credit for this to St Edmund's.”

“My Sunshine Day has been absolutely life-changing for our children. From day one, the level of care and attention they received exceeded all our expectations. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. What stood out to us immediately was the one-on-one support provided not just by their room teachers, but by the entire management team. Everyone made the effort to get to know our children personally, which helped them feel secure, seen, and valued during their transition into the nursery. Our children took time to settle, and the staff were so patient and nurturing throughout. They created a calm, comforting environment that helped them build confidence at their own pace. Their happiness and comfort have always been the top priority, and we felt reassured every day that they were in the best possible hands. The nursery itself is beautiful—bright, welcoming, and filled with thoughtfully chosen toys and resources that encourage creativity, imagination, and independence. The rooms are clean and well-organized, making it a joy for the children to explore. What really sets this nursery apart is the variety and quality of the activities they offer. Our children have loved the sessions in music, languages, sports, arts, and even theater. These experiences have had a huge impact on their confidence, communication, and social development—and they’re always excited to share what they’ve learned each day. We've also had incredible support with potty training and language development. The staff are so experienced, consistent, and encouraging, and they kept us updated every step of the way. It's made a huge difference in how quickly and positively our children have progressed. We feel so lucky to have found this nursery. It’s more than just childcare—it’s a warm, inspiring community that puts children’s happiness and development at the heart of everything. My Sunshine Day has truly changed our children’s lives, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly to any parent.”

“Both my two daughters attended this school It is an amazing school with amazing staff And I will be sending my third daughter here also.”

“This school does great things with the pupils who attend it.”

“Private lessons are great, but nothing replaces the experience of performing in a band setting. Being part of an ensemble teaches children how work towards a common goal and how to see the greater picture they're creating on the spot, which is invaluable for early developing brains. In BSOR children learn confidence, self expression, consideration, and musical discipline. They are surrounded by highly skilled tutors who take great pride in what they do. Songs are approachable, and the tutors always make sure everyone is equally challenged regardless of their skill level. Teaching at this school has been a privilege and a joy. Seeing the proud faces of parents watching their kids do something they love always put a smile on my face.”

“Our two kids have attended Montys since they were one, and it’s been an exceptional experience - a true home away from home. The team’s experience, knowledge, kindness, and dedication are second to none, creating a nurturing environment where kids thrive. Ours have been incredibly happy and were well-prepared for school when the time came. I wholeheartedly recommend Montys to any parent, and every family we know who’s sent their child there shares the same enthusiasm for this outstanding team. Last but by no means least, I must mention the office efficiency and food they make for the kids too. Eternally grateful for the Montys family. I just wish they didn’t have to grow up!”

“Our daughter has been enjoying Playball (Richmond) for the past two years now, and we intend to continue for as long as possible as she absolutely loves it! With Bonnie and Trevor's encouragement and expert tuition, we have watched our little girl grow in confidence and develop motor skills which support her physical development and ability, nurturing her interest and curiosity in sports and being generally more active. Something that particularly amazed me was when Trevor ran a special birthday playball session for about 15 toddlers for our daughters 3rd birthday (most of which had never participated in playball before), whereby, though his excitable and encouraging style, every child, without exception, remained engaged and participated the whole way through - other parents also commented at just how amazed they were to see their children enjoy it so much and to take part. Even those that had a tendency to be shy, or didnt know many of the other children, got stuck in! Thank you, Bonnie and Trevor, you guys have been simply amazing. Enjoy the summer and we look forward to returning to Playball again next term!”

“I went here and sent my children here.”

“What a beautiful nursery. The staff are all so wonderful, caring and attentive. All the children seem so happy to be there. It’s got an amazing outdoor area where the kids spend lots of their time. Our girls love it and I’m sure any child would thrive at this nursery.”

“My son spent 7 years at this school and I cannot rate it highly enough. It is a lovely, friendly and caring environment with a great community feel. We have very happy memories”

“My kids loved their time here. The staff were so good with them, always caring and always thoughtful. I’m glad we chose Sheen Park, as our kids had such a happy time and they left it confident and ready for primary school.”
