Learning 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.”

“A completely professional and enjoyable experience with Lauren! I felt at ease instantly and was blown away by her expertise. I cannot wait for my next appointment”

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

“Great adult ballet class - good for balance, posture, stretching, etc., and all to lovely music with wonderful teacher. Ideal for beginners and those who have done ballet before, however long ago. 8-9pm Mondays at Orpington Village Hall except in school holidays.”

“Great night with friendly dancers and a good DJ.”

“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.”

“Had my daughter at the nursery for 1.5 years and the place is amazing. My little one really developed during her time so far. Great app that tracks her key points throughout the day too. In addition the staff are amazing. Everyone there is an absolute delight to deal with. Highly recommended.”

“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 recently trained with Brow Babe for ombré brows. Teresa (the teacher) is lovely, gives great feedback and answers any questions you may have once you have finished the 2 day course. The receptionist Rebecca is lovely & the kit for the course is really beneficial and has allowed me to carry out treatments without worrying about getting supplies in for my first 10 clients.”

“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!!”

“I've known Andy (the proprietor) for 30 years. His work is exemplary and reasonably priced. He managed to fix my 1987 SL300 starting issue without hesitation. Both the cost of labour and parts were great value, and my car was well looked after throughout the process. Great communication and clear invoicing made this a great experience. I'd highly recommend.”

“Great selection and service. The owner is very knowledgable and only too glad to give advice.”

“I cannot praise Chami enough. I had issue with starter motor and battery on my Mercedes. He gets a 10 out of 10 from me and will definitely use his services again. Very knowledgeable and extremely nice person. Best of all, he is a mobile mechanic so he came to me. Thanks Chami.”

“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.”

“I went there in primary and it was a lit school”
