Learning environments in Orpington

“I cannot rate Longcroft high enough! Daisy is an absolute dream person to leave your furry friends with while you are away. She is so nice and easy to deal with and the service she provides is fantastic. We had regular pictures and updates on how our two were doing while we were away, which is so reassuring. We have two young, indoor cats who had never been away from home before. So were a bit worried about how they would adapt but we need not have worried! Daisy won them over in no time and they had a lovely holiday, while we had peace of mind to enjoy ours.”

“Great family run, friendly, caring and supportive. Brilliant for different ages and abilities.”

“Great venu for dancing! Ceroc is a partner dance with its roots in 1940s jive. It's fun, energetic and you don't need to come with a partner. This is a great place to learn a new skill, develop an existing skill or just have fun if you are an experienced dancer! All levels are made to feel welcome! Great music, great people and a great atmosphere.”

“Our son has been attending Monkey Puzzle since he was 4.5 months old, he is now 2 years old. We are extremely happy with his level of care that he receives. He loves coming to nursery, and the enjoys the variety of activities that the excellent team provide. The care we’ve received from every member of staff, at all levels, has always been fantastic. Our son loves his time at nursery and we are very pleased in all the progress he’s making. We can see at home the different things he’s being taught at nursery, from sign language, his motor skills and the many varieties of messy play he brings home in his hair! Personally as parents we’ve enjoyed the community feel of the nursery, having attending a few events like the summer fete and the parents first aid training. We can’t recommend Monkey Puzzle enough!”

“This is a lovely dental practice. I am a long-standing patient and have always had exceptional service. Maxine, on reception, is always warm and welcoming, as are all the staff. I have a broken crown and compromised dental root, but my recent consultation with Dr Tarki was thorough and informative, explaining clearly my options for treatment. He is very patient and understanding and took time to listen to my concerns and talked me through the various types of procedure, helping me to reach a decision. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this dental practice.”

“I have had multiple treatments performed by Rowena and I have been so pleased with the results every time! On my most recent visit I had a small amount of lip filler as I wanted a change but was very anxious about overdoing it. Rowena listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel very comfortable. I love how it turned out - subtle but amazing!”

“Both our daughters have attended Shimmi Shakes for over six months now. The provision for ballet and tap dance is so impressive, and the girls look forward to the Saturday morning sessions every week. The team are wonderful and there is an amazing sense of community, with exams organised, and trips to the West End to see professional theatre as well. We couldn't be happier.”

“After hurting my back at the gym, I went in for some acupuncture and a deep tissue massage, and I’m feeling amazing now. Emily really knows her stuff and made me feel comfortable the whole time. If you’re looking for some relief, definitely check her out. Highly recommend! Thanks, Emily!”

“I cannot praise this swimming school highly enough! I’ve been using them for both my children. My eldest is very close to finishing her lessons hopefully and she started off as a non swimmer and she is now a confident swimmer who enjoys coming to every lesson. My youngest has just started off and is loving every minute of her sessions. The instructors are professional and cater to each individual needs. My kids love all the instructors and Claire is very quick at responding to any queries or questions parents have. When my partner broke his foot and couldn’t drive my eldest to her lessons - I told Claire about it and she went above and beyond to get my daughter into a different session time in order for her to not miss one lesson. I will definitely be recommending seriously swimming to anyone looking for a swim school. Thanks so much!!”

“Had my eyebrows done by Sarah and the treatment and results are both first class. Sarah is very kind and helps you to feel relaxed throughout the whole process. Definitely recommend!”

“So glad I found Jo! Fab colour and cuts as well as gorgeous styling too-I’ve been sleek and straight, curly and had beachy waves all courtesy of Jo. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“Fantastic makaton training received at this site shame to see the nursery closed”

“My son has attended here for coming on a year now. He is 2.5 years old. This is a very good nursery, the staff are all friendly and genuine, no dodgy character’s or anyone that makes you feel unsure or uneasy. They are very good with their Tapestry App, you get daily photos/updates and you can tell they really do make an effort with the kids and their early learning. My son has come on really well with speech, shapes, colours, counting and ABC’s and he always comes home singing all the words of lots of nursery rhymes. You never see any kids looking unhappy when dropping off or picking up. I have two children and moved around a bit in the past so I have worked with quite a few different nursery’s and I am confident this is a good all round nursery. They are very affordable too which is why I have given 5* - Thank you to the team xx”

“My son has been going to Ready Steady Grow pre-school since he was 2 and is 4 now and he absolutely loves it! He has come on so well with his speech and confidence. All of the teachers are so friendly and the children love them. They helped us with potty training. He can count to 30 and knows all the months of the year.”

“Best Primary School I've ever seen. I went here when I was younger (only three years ago) and it was the best education I've ever had. The teachers are amazing- none lack effort or control unlike the teachers in Harris. The best teacher which I was very lucky to have was Matt Linzey. Great teacher, whoever gets him have a great year. He helped us amazingly through our SATs and we had such a fun last year- it was sad to leave. Great atmosphere, if I could go back I most certainly would.”

“We absolutely loved Bright Beginning Pre-school. It felt like extension of our family, we really felt that our daughter was in safe and nurturing environment. She graduated a week ago and misses it everyday. Would highly recommend it.”

“Niljo is incredible — she choreographs amazing routines for the songs, blending creativity with a focus on fitness. Her unique approach of mixing dance with workouts has been extremely beneficial for both my physical health and overall well-being. I’m so grateful for her dedication and passion, which inspires us all. Highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for a fun and uplifting experience!”

“Yet again another amazing hire, always going above and beyond, the kids loved the peppa pig and slide bouncy castle, Used this company before and was amazing then too, will keep on using them as great value for money, professional,friendly, communication is always on point. Great quality stuff thanks again”

“Sumeet's Step2Step is among the top dance academies. They are very professional and good at their work. We are grateful to Sumeet and can confidently recommend his amazing choreography.”

“Thank for helping you gays for good”

“All 3 of my children attended, starting with pre-school classes. The girls continued until they left school at 18, having taken advanced exams and developed a real love of dance and performance. They were well taught in ballet, tap, modern dance and jazz and always encouraged to do their best by dedicated teachers who knew them well and understood them. They had many performance opportunities, with the academy, professionally and with local operatic companies and made some really good friends.”

“Brilliant team. My child enjoys her days at Grace’s.”
