Learning development in Uxbridge

“My son has been attending MonkeyPuzzle since he was 1 year old and since the first day every single person who works / worked at the nursery has been absolutely fantastic. Being a mother of a trilingual child, I find it important that he is encouraged to speak his secondary languages. Many teachers speak multiple languages and they have always been doing their best to support us in our attempts to improve my son's language skills. There is something amazing I could say about each and every member of the team but my son's love for all of the staff is the best feedback. The fact that he is always excited to go to nursery speaks louder than any words. Despite being rated "good" by ofsted, the truth is that this nursery is OUTSTANDING. I'm grateful to the MonkeyPuzzle team for taking such great care of my son and for all their hard work to make the nursery such a wonderful family-like place. Keep doing what you're doing and don't change.”

“It is one of the best nursery in Uxbridge. All the members are very supportive,friendly and very attentive . Both kids love going here. They are very happy and have excelled.”

“Great friendly people clean children love it.”

“My 6 year old son really enjoys his Tae Kwon Do lessons . Coach Niresh is a great teacher . He is very Patient with his pupils and really wants the kids to learn and enjoy the sport as much as he clearly does . I would definitely recommend these classes .”

“My daughter started in Uxbridge Early Years in 2020 after the lockdown. During her induction period, we received all support we needed from the staff. It was greatly appreciated, especially after being at home during pandemic. Throughout these three years, my daughter has learnt at the nursery not only communication, and language, but also social and emotional skills. She has met lifelong friends. Together, they have learnt to share and care for each other. Nursery staff has shown true professionalism, hard work , and most important, love for all kids. They have supported us every step of the way with her Potty Training, her tantrums and her fears. When we had our second daughter ,all staff helped us with our first daughter’s transition from a single child to a big sister. We are truly grateful for the knowledge and kindness. Our second daughter started 2years ago. Once again, her induction was wonderful thanks to the nursery. She is still breastfeeding. They have accommodated everything to continue with breast milk. I can see the amazing job of each member of the nursery when I see the smile on her face every time we arrive at the nursery. We have enjoyed all events organised by the nursery: Ladies breakfast, Jubilee Celebrations, World Book day, Christmas, Sports Week… These wonderful events help parents building relationships with each other and creating a support community for all our children. For all reasons above, Uxbridge Early Years Centre is a unique place with the best staff we could ask for. It is the nursery a parent would choose for his children. Big Thank You Uxbridge Early Years Family!”

“I am proud to share that I have successfully completed my City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Principles at Uxbridge College, within the Department of Engineering. This has been an incredibly rewarding journey that has not only expanded my technical knowledge but also strengthened my practical skills in the field of automotive engineering. A huge part of my success is thanks to the outstanding guidance and support provided by my tutors and the workshop team. I would especially like to express my deep gratitude to *Narinderpal Matharu (Steve)*, whose dedication to teaching and deep understanding of the subject matter made complex concepts easier to grasp. His clear instruction and constant encouragement were invaluable throughout the course. Equally, I must commend *Chris Baker*, whose hands-on expertise and passion for the trade were truly inspiring. Chris has an incredible ability to break down advanced techniques and pass them on to students with clarity and patience. His commitment to developing our real-world skills has equipped us with the confidence needed to succeed in the industry. I would also like to thank *Dain* , the assistant in the Uxbridge College workshop, for his consistent support during practical sessions. Dain's approachability and readiness to help created a welcoming and productive environment where learning was both enjoyable and effective. Uxbridge College has provided a strong foundation for my career in vehicle maintenance and repair, and I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone serious about entering the automotive trade. The staff’s commitment to student success is evident in every aspect of the program.”

“Both of my children attend Stepping Stones Nursery in Hillingdon and absolutely love it. The staff are warm, caring, and really dedicated. My kids are learning so much and always come home happy. We get regular updates through the app and during parents’ meetings, which helps us stay involved. Highly recommend!”

“My Son has been going to The Young Once since end of November 2024. When I saw him get off the breakfast table and walk by himself to the baby area, it was such a proud moment. He feels happy and at home there. This is the only nursery we have come across where the lovely staff has a big smile on their face at 8:00 am and same smile and enthusiasm at 6:00pm. This was so important to me. Kelly said to me you had the baby 9 months in your belly then a year of maternity and then you have to leave your baby with strangers, this nursery really gets it and gives our little humans all the love, confidence and care we wish for them. My little boy loves this place and when I ask him are you going to play with Carol. He has the biggest smile on his face and Carol is right, he can say her name now. I am so glad I visited this nursery and my little one is going to have amazing 4 years here.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend the London Academy of Business and Management to anyone aspiring to excel in the field of business. This institution not only met but exceeded my expectations, making it a clear choice for those seeking a comprehensive and valuable business education.”

“My daughters have been learning Bharatnatyam at Srishti for the last 6 years. Nina didi and all her supporting senior students have been excellent teachers. The end of term events organised to showcase learnings are something we really look forward to. A perfect place for students to learn the classical Indian art holistically as Yadavanji introduces the students to Carnatic music.”

“My daughter loves going to this nursery. They always welcome her with the biggest smile and make her feel special every time. My daughter has learnt so much since being there for the last year or so. She has become more confident and her breath of vocabulary has most definitely widened because of their teaching. When she comes home she is always repeating songs they sing during circle time. I would highly recommend this nursery as not only do they support the child to progress but also give really good advice to parents regarding potty training etc. Whenever I pick my daughter up I love how nicely the children play together and enjoys playing with her friends.”

“The staff at this nursery are amazing always very approachable and give regular updates on development of children. My son really enjoys going to this nursery which is huge relief for every parent . Could not recommend this nursery enough .”

“Lovely venue for any occasion. I go there Linedanceing great fun fir all ages.”

“Hillingdon branch of the British sugar guild meet up 2nd Tuesday of the month demonstrations or have a go 7pm”

“An excellent school with a truly dedicated and talented group of teachers led by the outstanding headteacher Catherine Veale. This really is a school which continues to impress with its inspired and motivating learning skills. Highly recommended.”

“I initially moved my son from his first nursery (Monkey Puzzle in Uxbridge) as he just didnt enjoy going in and due to his speech delay he was unable to communicate his feelings but there were worries that he was being mistreated in that nursery as he would repeat phrases in a shouty manner that we would never use at home (why are you crying I'm here??? Be quiet! Go sit down now!) After deciding to move him to another nursery I attended Busy bees in person and shared my concerns with the assistant manager Sian who was at the main reception that particular day. She reassured me and arranged a tour of the nursery a few days later where myself, my husband and son were able to have a look around and we had a a lovely chat with Lauren in the preschool room about how a typical day in the nursery would be and how they monitor each childs progress again the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. After our visit our son was instantly warmed by the happy playful environment. He surprisingly settled within a week of attending. His speech, interaction and communication has all really come through as well as his attention. He has honestly been thriving here and although I'm sad he will be leaving the nursery to start school in September - I am ever so grateful for the staff especially Tammy for shaping up his academic journey from here ahead.”

“Better than expected! I recently completed my Business Analysis Program. The highlight of the program was certainly the internship. Learning something and then getting the opportunity to actually work on a project was a lot more learning. I really enjoyed the program and look forward to starting my career.”

“Our adventure with Monkey Music started a few years back when I was looking for something to do with my older daughter, that would be entertaining but educational same time. Right now all 3 of my children are attending the classes and I can't praised it enough. The classes are always fun but if you want to see a real benefits of Monkey Music I recommend that you attend it for as long as possible. After a while you will notice you child being more and more confident, getting to know all the songs and moves. You will be amazed how the classes develop your child speech (a case with one of my twins), memory, they will learn a lot of things about music as well as counting, colors, time, how to read music. They will learn about different instruments, how you play them, how do they sound like etc. each term there are new songs/activities.The staff is always very friendly and professional. And to sum it up it is even very educational for us - parents as I learned a lot about music myself :)”

“I am a 'mature' student who joined West London School of Guitar 3 years ago as a total beginner with a battered second hand electric guitar and no real idea of what I wanted to achieve. In that time, I've gone from learning simple chord progressions and melodies to playing classical pieces, learning a range of different and challenging techniques, sight reading and music theory and regular improvisation classes with other students (and acquiring a couple of new guitars en route!). We're also encouraged and given guidance to set ourselves goals on a regular basis and we work together to make these goals a reality. WLSoG wants all the students to be the best guitarists they can possibly be with an understanding of musical concepts as well as techniques. No stone is left un-turned on this route and students make great progress in a positive and friendly teaching environment. This is the best thing I've done in ages. I've grown in confidence as a guitar player and as a person - I can't recommend these classes highly enough.”

“I have two children at this school, one in Yr. 2 and the other just started Reception having attended the Nursery. Both of them throughly enjoy attending and learning in this environment and it constantly amazes me just how varied their knowledge has become. From day one (2years ago) when there were only 43 4 year olds, to this day of over 250 pupils, there has been a consistent and tenacious focus on delivering the best learning for all of its pupils. The leadership team are warm and welcoming, making themselves highly visible at the school gate and always willing to listen to parents' views or offer advice. They have set out a strong set of values and life skills which are positively reinforced across the school in a consistent way from class teacher to whole assembly. For some of these traits the children are asked to behave like a particular ' Learnasaur ' character such as the Tryasaurus who is always willing to try new things or a Sharadactyl who shares their learning resources. Both my kids have really engaged with this type of encouragement and it is commonplace to hear us talking about them at home. All the staff that have been recruited display a huge passion for delivering the best experience for the children, whether they're dinner ladies, site managers or have office roles. The teaching staff are great and display the same understated professionalism day in day out, they have embraced the opportunity this new school presents and are working well together to deliver a first class education. Mr Butler's musical influences have shown themselves many times over the last couple of years during assemblies and Nativity plays. My personal highlight was last years Year 1 performance which involved the whole year group, lasted over 40 mins and was incredible to watch, it was hard to believe we were watching 6 year olds as the performance level and engagement across the whole group was so strong and mature. Other highlights from last year included the children asking Boris Johnson some tough questions when he visited the school and the Pupils performing their 'Big Dance' at the summer fayre.”

“Great school working hard in a diverse community”

“Lovely environment, teachers are all brilliant, kids are so excited when they are there, the area is brilliant for the kids to”

“E-Resources section was very helpful for my child.”

“My son went to Jigsaw nursery in Hatch end and he was very well looked after by Larissa, his key worker, and was more than ready for primary school when he left. Minal was also wonderful as she went above and beyond when she taught my son phonics, reading and counting - she was brilliant. The pastoral care at the nursery was outstanding due to the all the staff and the management team run by Susan. Highly recommend.”
