Learning environment in Richmond

“Oliver & his team at PQA Richmond provide such a warm, positive environment. My daughter’s confidence has soared since she joined 4 years ago. She has made new friends & had some fantastic opportunities. Thank you PQA Richmond!”

“Our son has been at Kateys for 9 months now and we couldn't be happier. The staff are so welcoming and loving towards the children. The range of activities, play and learning they do is outstanding. Each day useful feedback is given and periodically more thorough feedback in the form of a learning journal and parents evenings. I'm always astonished by the range and depth of topics covered. The setting is excellent too with lots of outdoor space and nearby points of interest. Highly recommend.”

“I am very satisfied with the service provided filling done by this dental clinic. The dentist provided excellent care, explaining each step clearly and ensuring my comfort throughout the treatment. The staff are professional, polite, and always make patients feel welcome. The clinic is clean, well-maintained, and delivers a high standard of dental work.”

“Lovely peaceful place to study with lovely tutors”

“The staff is very friendly and they truly care for the children. My daughter is very happy there, so we are.”

“Very helpful and supportive staff's. Very easy to excess the all the needful classrooms. Very clean and tidy premises.”

“We have had the most wonderful experience at this nursery. The staff are fantastic and they really do care about the welfare and development of the children. I get a sense that they are all very experienced and know the children really well. We couldn't be happier and our little boy feels the same - he has built great relationships with everyone and is very settled.”

“Brilliant friendly coaches, great environment for the kids. My son looks forward to his session every week, can't recommed enough!”

“Anastas from Service Master Kingston arrived right on time and even phoned ahead to confirm. I left him to work unsupervised, and he did an excellent job throughout. He managed to remove small marks from the carpets that I thought were permanent, even though they were just normal wear and tear. He moved furniture carefully and placed mats beneath items to prevent any moisture damage. The carpets now look like new! Denise in the office was also a pleasure to deal with and made everything very straightforward. Four bedrooms, two living rooms, a landing, and two flights of stairs are now spotless. Absolutely delighted with the service — highly recommend Service Master Kingston!”

“A fun, interactive space to climb, run, jump and explore everything that a plant needs to grow. Based in a natural setting the size of 40 tennis courts, children can explore all the things plants need to grow in our Children's Garden, designed for children from 2 to 12 years old. Over 100 mature trees are spread over this beautiful landscape, with hidden treasures and adventures around every corner, leading to a 4m high canopy walk wrapped around a 200-year-old oak in the heart of the Children's Garden. No pre-booking required – all visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the day until one hour before the Gardens close.”

“Great community hub for children and families.”

“Great services, reception Natalie very helpful always smile and helps with appointments. Mariana is great too. I highly recommend Perfect smile.”

“The one oclock club is like the dream backgarden but of your best friends house so you don’t have to tidy up! Your children can run wild with no shoes, get wonderfully wet and grubby and generally have a bit of a 90s childhood experience. There a thousand different toys to play and experiment. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 1 year old and it suits them both perfectly. They can explore the space independently and it’s the perfect size for me to keep an eye on them without hovering over them. We love it!”

“Done the Phlebotomy training with Stefania. She was such a patient and knowledgeable teacher. The training was very interactive, educative, and insightful. I’d do more courses with the school owing to my experience so far.”

“What an impressive building in the middle of the Richmond park. Commissioned in 1725 as a hunting lodge for George I, White Lodge remains part of the Crown Estate to this day and partly housing the well known The Royal Ballet School. Here a little bit of a history: A misunderstood politician John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713–1792) was appointed Ranger of the Park by George III in 1761 and took up residence at White Lodge. In 1801, George III assigned White Lodge to Henry Addington (a middle-class Prime Minister), later Viscount Sidmouth, as a ‘grace and favour’ residence. Addington, who served as Prime Minister from 1801 to 1804, remained at the Lodge until his death in 1844. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria-Hungary (Sissi) (1837–1898) stayed at White Lodge for the hunting season in the summer of 1874. In 1881 Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry were guests, the famous Victorian actors, who had recently starred at the Lyceum Theatre as Hamlet and Ophelia in Shakespeare’s tragic play of Hamlet. In January 1912, the famous ballerina, Anna Pavlova, and her partner, Laurent Novikoff, performed at Richmond Theatre with the members of the Company of the Imperial Ballet, St Petersburg. Many decades later, students of The Royal Ballet School would follow in Pavlova’s footsteps, dancing each summer at Richmond Theatre during the 1970s and 1980s. On 13 August 1924, there was another royal birth at White Lodge. Prince Aleksander Pavlov Karadorevic was born to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark and Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, in the same room as that in which Prince Edward of Wales had been born, 30 years earlier. The marriage of Mrs Reynolds Albertini and Colonel James Veitch of the Coldstream Guards was reported in the Evening News on 12 April 1950. They continued to occupy White Lodge after the war, and hosted Marshal Tito there when he came to England on a state visit, March 1953. The Foreign Office agreed to Tito’s entourage being 29 strong, but let only 12 reside with him at White Lodge. For security reasons, Tito was not accommodated in a London. During the Autumn Term of the new academic year 1955/6, the first cohort of students boarding at White Lodge had to travel to their daily lessons at the School's Colet Gardens site in Barons Court, as the Stable Block classrooms were not yet ready.”

“Fantastic school, does a good Job of teaching it's pupils I recommend this every parent”

“I had a haircut today and was very pleased. Amelia did a great job! Everyone was kind and they did exactly what I asked for. You also get a lovely head massage during the washing. Make sure you book in advance because they are always busy.”

“Such a great class! Julia is so lovely and my baby loved every session - we went for a full year. More affordable/accessible than lots of other classes out there and I met some really nice other mums/babies too. Would highly recommend!”

“Kish is my daughter’s second home and she is looking forward to going in every day. The kids have space to run around, roll in mud and explore the way kids should. As a picky parent I can comfortably say that Kish provides the highest standard of care, teaches important values and guides the children to become the most wonderful humans every child has the potential to be.”

“Sudbrook is a lovely school, the children are loved and taught and come out with a good background. There is a great mix of physical and mental work coupled with healthy amounts of play. Honestly we could have done with having longer hours but if that's the worst problem then they are doing very very well. Highly recommended for your little ones. Not recommended as a sixth form college :) ......................”

“Lovely staff, so kind and nurturing and our little one loves it here”

“Great school. Beautiful outdoors.”
