Learning environments in Kingston Upon Thames

“Our daughter had a lovely experience at Katey’s House whilst we lived in Kingston. We felt that the staff cared deeply about our daughter there. Karolina’s warmth, responsiveness and professionalism was so palpable. We look forward to watch from afar to see what she continues to build.”

“My son has been swimming with Goggle Squad since November and is really enjoying it. His confidence around the water has always been great but he’s been making rapid progress with the actual swimming since starting. The small classes with children of similar age really allow the teacher to focus on each child individually and the pool facilities are great too!”

“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!”

“Very welcoming and well run. Lots of activities outside and in for all the different stages of development”

“The Pattern Cutting & Professional Sewing Techniques course was great. Paul Simonson is so knowledgable and shared that knowledge in an uncomplicated, easy manner. I learnt a lot in 2 short weeks and Phew. The other staff are great. Nina Hunt in the Short Course unit was so helpful and nice. Maureen in the Sewing department was so helpful and went above and beyond. Great place to study. Will definitely look at doing another course there. Ikwo 2015”

“A wonderful, friendly school in a beautiful location!”

“My daughter has been at garden house for 18 months and has had a wonderful experience. From the moment she arrived she felt safe and loved going there. Some of her first words were her key workers who have all been amazing. Special mention to her current Key worker Geraldine and her original Tom, who she loves very much and who I trust completely to be kind, caring and understanding. Garden House also looked after us as a family when we most needed it and I will never forget it. Thank you all!”

“My daughter loves coming to her dance class with Traceworks. I loved watching the class and seeing her beautiful dancing. The teacher was fantastic and overall I was very impressed.”

“Really pleased with all the effort the community is putting into strengthening the 'community'. Our little one always tells us on a Friday night that she is 'excited' to go to 'Greek School'.!”

“I cannot rate Masquerades highly enough my daughter loves it!! I saw her grow from being a shy little girl to a confident one who just glowed in class. They offer a real mix of singing dancing and acting which is great! 5 stars all round!!!”

“Great School - Fantastic inclusion department”

“Brilliant School with lovely staff! Mr. Edmonds is a great Head Teacher and Miss Luker is a very nice Deputy Head Teacher.”

“This is an excellent and inspiring college. There are many classes and activities you can do, a good eatery, and relaxing zones. Most of the staff here are friendly. I want to highlight some of them: A very lovely receptionist, Jackie, a friendly librarian, and helpful security staff, Cali. I would also like to mention teachers Petra Pinter and Emma Lucas. Petra Pinter creates incredibly engaging and dynamic lessons with many interesting exercises. Emma Lucas is a supportive and understanding teacher who always encourages students to do their best.”

“Small, local and personal service.Great facilities for your child.”

“Bright Horizon Kingston (victoria road) is the best nursery. My daughter started going there when she was 9 months old. It has been amazing experience with managers Sue and Hema. They’ve been extremely cooperative and supportive. Staff members including Phoebe, Natasha, Olivia, Jenna and many others are excellent in their work. They take such good care of my little one. I am so relieved after dropping her to nursery. They keep me updated about all activities on app. They always respond when I ask anything on the app. They made us feel like a family and second home for my daughter. If I tell about favours that nursery does for us to my colleagues at work place and other people around, they always “which amazing nursery is this”. I aim to stay in Kingston only for this nursery. A happy mum, Ayesha”

“I completed the beginner and advanced classes over the summer and absolutely loved them! Colette and Robin were great at explaining each step of learning and we left feeling inspired watching them dance after their demonstrations! The class was a great size and everyone was very friendly and kind to us. Despite not knowing how to dance, by the end of the course I was shocked at how much I had learnt! They also helped introduce us to places we could keep practicing and dancing in London. It was a lovely part of the week to look forward to and I would absolutely recommend!!”

“I have now been a student in Danceforce for over a year and I am so happy that I made the decision to move here when I did. I was greeted warmly from the first day of class and have enjoyed every lesson since then. Miss Lexie is incredibly hardworking and kind and has inspired me to think about teaching dance myself in the future. Miss Jennifer, Miss Christie and Miss Carol are all amazing teachers - my experiences in dance-force have really helped me grow as a person - and I couldn’t be more grateful. I could not recommend Dance force more to someone starting or moving to a new dance school. The sense of community is amazing and I genuinely look forward to coming to dance now. Thank you so much!”

“The most wonderful preschool. The teachers know my daughter as an individual and more than anything she’s so happy. Storytelling, mud kitchen mess making, art and crafting, tool use; just everything is so great using true Montessori methods. My daughter has grown so much after a single term and I look forward to staying with Hummingbirds for another 5 years as I’ll definitely send my soon when he’s old enough!”

“The Cynet Pool is a good size and depth for the young, beginner swimmer. My grandson had a trial session today. He thoroughly enjoyed his lesson with Alfie, who was patient and progressive.”

“I am a new retiree and have recently become a volunteer at Barnfield Riding for Disabled/Riding School. I didn’t know what to expect …but the kindness and expert care shown to the horses and clients is exactly what I hoped. At age 66..and having not ridden for many many years..I have been inspired by the staff here to soon start my own riding lessons and aim to get back in the saddle…something I never thought I would ever do. I unreservedly recommend. (maybe anyone reading this might consider volunteering too?)”

“I am so glad that my son is doing individual LAMDA lessons with Enya, he loves her lessons. Enya is a brilliant teacher! She is also very kind, patient and calm. My son is now much more confident and comfortable speaking to other adults and soon will be doing his first LAMDA exam. He also says that Enya’s lessons are fun. Thank you so much Enya for your dedication.”

“Cannot recommend oranges and lemons highly enough.The staff are so welcoming and easy to talk to, a nice atmosphere in the nursery. The hall is set up well and not too overwhelming or loud. They also have a big outside play area with plenty of toys.”

“Really fun just joined and am absolutely loving it. There are so many clubs and co-curricular clubs there are too many to count. Love it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars”
