Learning in Watford

“Took my old Bernina sewing machine in and Steve, the most friendly and knowledgeable owner fixed it in about 45 minutes for such a reasonable price. I would recommend this company anytime. Thank you for a brilliant service”

“Gymboree has helped a lot in improving my son’s social skill, and he enjoys so much in playing with the staff and other kids. I really appreciate their efforts in providing a good chance for children to learn and play. I have recommended Gymboree to my friends who also have kids and looking for a place to play. The time my son playing in Gymboree is undoubtedly the happiest time after we moved to this area.”

“Booked one viewing with Imagine and that property turned out to be the one. I was just so lucky to be dealing directly with Lee Martin the new home associate director. Very friendly, reliable and approachable, he never failed to either pick up the phone or ring back even responded by emails on his holiday and helpfully acted as an intermediary between me and my vendor! Lee is absolutely amazing. Brilliant service and always on hand to provide advice and support. He helped make the whole experience a lot less stressful. I can not thank him enough for ensuring developer didn’t withdrawn with my very slow mortgage process. He’s also helped to rent the property while waiting to complete and I’m very grateful for everything he’s done for me. I can’t speak highly enough of him and the team. 100% recommend to all our friends. Best Honey”

“This is the best because my son has a great time.”

“The team is approchable .They explained and cleared all the doubts related to the hall. Suggestion: The centre could focus on waste management as we had to take all the waste after the function.”

“Our daughter (now in year 8) has been at Edge Grove since year 6 having spent all her previous schooling in the French system. We joined the school at a time when the new headmaster, Me Evans, was still putting in place his vision, but we felt that he knew exactly what he was wanting to do, and we completely bought into that vision. We have not been disappointed. The pastoral care has been first rate, particularly helping our daughter in the transition to a British Independent school. From what we have seen, any pastoral issues are dealt with speedily and sensitively. Great emphasis is put on politeness and creating the right environment for learning, whilst enjoying everything that the school has to offer. The education curriculum is innovative, supportive and stretching, and the school is doing a fantastic job of supporting all year 8 pupils in preparation for CE, truly differentiating based on the schools they are applying to and the exams they will be taking. Extra-curriculum activities are great too - the Director of Music is fantastic and the improvement in the quality of all school music activities has been marked, while the head of girls' games is really raising the bar too. Staff go beyond what one might expect and respond rapidly and helpfully to any questions or concerns. The parent community is friendly and welcoming. The school certainly deserves its recent rating of Excellent in all regards from the Independent Schools Inspection. I highly recommend the school to any prospective parent.”

“Excellent nursery both my son and daughter attended this nursery. Great staff and very helpful and welcoming management team that always greets us with a smile.Brilliantly friendly and committed staff. Lots of engaging activities for the children. A perfect nursery choice for my son. Love Thank you very much.”

“Lovely clean place with friendly people and staff”

“Amazing clinic! All the staff are super nice and knowledgeable. I am regular customer and using them quite often for my dental appointments. My dentist Justyna is very gentle and takes a very good care of my teeth.”

“Double and triples praises for Monica who delivered care and also remember who is who and take a high care of everyone. She deserve a raise.”

“Lovely restaurant in a very nice location. The food is amazing, cooked on the location and served by the future chefs of the country. They create their own daily menu, serve mouthwatering food and provide an impeccable service. The experience starts at the entrance with a very warm welcome and just flows through naturally during the three course dining experience. The place is popular and booked weeks in advance, so please call ahead. They also do lovely activities like chocolate classes, cake making and cake decoration- which are also highly recommended.”

“What an incredible, incredible 5th birthday treat for my daughter's 5th birthday... a Zoom call with Elsa with a lovely little chat, 3 fabulous songs and a little dance routine. My super shy little girl thoroughly enjoyed it and an extra special plug required for her unbelievable singing voice. Think I feel just as in awe as my 5 year old! Can't recommend enough. x”

“My daughter started in this nursery when she was 12 months old in the baby room, and since then she developed in such a nice Way! She learned a lot of staff and every week she is coming with something new. The staff is really nice and supportive with the kids . My one is really enjoying the nursery! Thank you the amazing team that you are allowing my baby girl to Shine like a Little star every day!”

““Inspiring our children and community to be the very best that they can be!” As a Trustee I feel really privileged and proud to be involved in this journey. “Inclusive” is not only our name but core to everything we do to help our community fulfil the hopes and dreams of our children. Every day our 3 Watford primary schools – Beechfield, Cherry Tree and Laurance Haines work closely together to create great opportunities which inspire our pupils to learn and develop skills to adapt and succeed in our ever changing world. Each school is very much a part of the local community with its own distinct characteristics and curriculum –we don’t believe that one size fits all but a nurturing philosophy underlines everything we do. As part of a group of schools we provide opportunities for our children to participate and share in exciting projects across the schools – whether sporting, outdoors or creative - for example our art display in Watford Museum or the more recent song written and performed to celebrate and thank Covid-19 key workers. Supporting our people to succeed is a core belief and strength – we are lucky to include former pupils among our teaching staff! Working together enables the sharing and development of best practice whilst addressing workload too. Good career progression is available across the Trust schools. “if you want to go fast, go alone.

“I love this school because it’s so funny and they take good care of you.”

“Little Hearts Preschool is absolutely outstanding! Within just a few weeks, I noticed a huge positive change in my son’s confidence, happiness, and manners — he genuinely looks forward to going every day. The staff are professional, caring, and go above and beyond to create a warm, supportive environment. Having previously used local childminders, I can honestly say that the level of care, structure, and learning opportunities at Little Hearts are on a completely different standard. The environment is nurturing, stimulating, and well-organised, and the staff are well-mannered, highly trained and genuinely care about each child’s individual needs and progress. I also love that they use the Tapestry app to share updates and photos — it gives parents real peace of mind. The difference compared to childminders settings is remarkable. My only regret is not sending my older son here. The Little Hearts team is simply outstanding, and I’m so grateful for the support, care, and encouragement they have given my child — truly an amazing preschool!”

“Fantastic service. Very helpful and friendly. Felt very at ease and will certainly be returning. Can not recommend enough.”

“I really enjoy learning with Richard. Well taught, fun lessons which make you feel like a natural! Would highly recommend Richard as a great inspiration to people trying to elevate their dance skills..”

“Highly passionate, motivated, friendly fun-loving and enthusiastic teachers. We look forward to the classes every week.”

“I have twins with additional needs and they love going. Vinnie is amazing and very knowledgeable. He is also very patient and understanding.”

“Probably the best school in this area”
