Learning through fun in London

“I had a trapeze class and I wasn't sure what to expect but a big desire to give it a try. It was a dream from childhood I never got to experience up until this point. Teachers were friendly, attentive, careful and very supportive. I felt so safe that I relaxed and enjoyed so much. I cannot wait to be back! GORILLA CIRCUS you guys are amazing! I had the best time!”

“Enrolling my four-year-old daughter in Krav Maga has proven to be an excellent decision. It has significantly enhanced her confidence and character, equipping her with self-defense techniques for potentially unsafe situations. The program's emphasis on awareness, self-defense, discipline, and teamwork offers numerous benefits for children and adults alike. We are grateful to the entire team for creating such a positive experience.”

“I2D is an amazing studio, great venue, very professional, talented (yet fun) teachers and an inspiring atmosphere! I have joined the studio at the start of the year and have been absolutely enjoying it. There is something for everyone - a genuine interest at perfecting the technique and your progress at Latin classes and social Thursday (Latin and ballroom) classes where you can practice in a friendly, warm environment. Maksym is a great teacher, who clearly loves what he does and very passionate about dancing. He is very patient, creative, incredible at explaining the technique and puts effort in making classes useful to everyone. He helps you challenge yourself without feeling discouraged and makes me always look forward to the next class!”

“I've been taking Belly Dancing lessons for half a year, from Marta, Sandra, and Farrah. All three ladies are excellent teachers. They make sure to repeat the moves so you remember and master them over time. As is the case with every dance, practice makes perfect. It's a ladies-only class, students of all ages and walks of life are welcomed. You can progress from one level to the next, as well as sign up for multiple (paid) lessons in the same week, should you wish to practice a little bit more. These belly dancing lessons are my favourite part of the week; they allow me to relax and have fun, providing a welcome relief during a stressful work week.”

“A welcoming and fun dance school, we would heavily recommend them to anyone wishing to try it out as a hobby! We started about a year ago with no experience whatsoever, and under the careful tutoring of the flow dance team through the group classes we’ve already seen such improvement and had a lot of fun. A special shout out to Jan who has been absolutely excellent in our private classes, always happy to help and very knowledgable!”

“I just completed a fan veil course with Oloma, and it was marvellous. I learned a great deal and had fun at the same time. I hope Oloma will do a fan veil follow-on course at some point next year !”

“Michelle and her team are absolutely outstanding with how they develop the children. We found this studio last year and won’t look back. Amazing dancers have come out from their tuition and can see great dancers to follow. Our little one has had the opportunity to take part in the latest show which has enabled them to achieve and be inspired. Excellent work Michelle.”

“We are extremely happy with Pullum Dance Academy ! This is the second year that my daughter attends the dancing class, is so enjoyable for her , Danielle is so professional and loved from all the kids! We can not recommend enough the classes !”

“We absolutely loved Nathalie’s sensory classes and always looked forward to our Thursday mornings. The sessions are so thoughtfully designed and perfectly tuned into babies’ development. The quality of the resources and the care that goes into each themed session is truly incredible. Starting when my baby was just 3–4 months old gave me so much confidence as a new mum, and it was so lovely to connect with other mums along the way. Nathalie creates such a warm, welcoming space, we couldn’t recommend these classes enough.”

“Our son is leaning with Nadia now and we couldn't have asked for a more diligent swimming instructor. Our son loves his swimming lesson time on Sundays and looks forward to it with excitement. Focusing more on technic rather than playing in the water. Individual attention is definitely helping our son with his confidence in water. Highly recommend”

“My son has been attending classes here from 3-5 years old and it has been great. They have very small groups and get them used to being comfortable in the water. It is also very personal and Fiona, who I have been working with to manage things, has been always very flexible in finding a slot for Gaspard despite a lot of changing priorities on our side.”

“We made the most amazing sushi! Thanks so much Simon for a wonderful birthday evening full of laughs, sushi and homemade goodies. Simon taught us all about the history of sushi, showed us how to make it with accessible ingredients and gave us so much knowledge we will use in our kitchen going forward! I can't wait to try more of your classes”

“Brilliant idea, fantastic service with helpful volunteers. Love coming here!”

“Great place to bring your little ones for activities and health clinics. Friendly staff, varied schedule.”

“We absolutely love the Little Gym in Wandsworth! The instructors are amazing—not only do they focus on teaching movement skills, but they also give individual care and attention to both my 2-year-old and 5-year-old boys. It’s such a joy to see how much they enjoy practicing and gaining self-confidence here, and they look forward to coming every weekend! The teachers and staff are all so friendly, professional, and welcoming. It’s a fantastic environment for kids to have fun.”

“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!”

“My daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now when she was 11 months old and I always find her cheerful there - it feels like a second home to her. I would like to say this is one of the best childcare centres in this area. I was very skeptical initially as a mum to leave my daughter the whole day (10hours). All the staff members Veerpal, Dale, Shazia, Tahira, etc including the head teacher Himanshu are so nurturing, supportive, caring, attentive, kind and helpful to her as well as the other babies. I have always found the key worker Veerpal to be very communicative about my daughter's progress (including the online updates about her progress) and the way she allowed my daughter to take her time to settle in. Whenever I needed any kind of adjustments the whole staff including admin team was always supportive and efficient. The staff do invest a lot of time, effort and patience to allow babies to explore and be independent. I was surprised when I saw my daughter wanting to drink water/milk in a cup on her own without spilling, Building sand castles, messy plays, spending a good amount of time daily in the garden, allowing babies to make individual decisions, making shapes out of play dough, exploring natural materials and nature, singing various rhymes and describing the characters from the story, etc They do have a lot of extra activities for kids accompanied by parents. A yearly outdoor (farm) trip for the kids and parents. Visits to religious places accompanied by parents, obstacle course, etc I have seen a lot of improvements and her skills being enhanced each time. I would highly recommend the Grove house infant centre to anyone looking for a childcare / nursery in the area.”

“My daughter has been in the Lodge since Jan and we couldn’t be happier. She has flourished in so many areas of development, especially her social skills being surrounded by caring nursery staff as well as other kids. We get great updates with so many photos which gives us so much comfort that my little one is enjoying her day. The environment is very homely with the staff knowing all the children and the owner, Natasha, making the effort to get to know the parents as well.. my daughter especially loves her key worker, Georgeta, who has helped her settle into nursery so well and kept us updated of all her key milestones at nursery”

“My kids loved the WCS summer camp at Orley Farm! It was their first time going to summer camp and they loved it! Had a few tears on the last day of camp. All staff members were lovely and engaging. Well done everyone! We’ll definitely be back next summer!”

“Sumeet is an amazing teacher and dancer and I have enjoyed each session thoroughly. The showcase allows everyone to perform on stage which is an amazing experience. Monika and the entire team are very welcoming and friendly. So if you love dancing then this is the place to be.”

“My 6 year old daughter started ballet classes at TDS nearly 2 years ago and she'd like to sign up to her 4th weekly class from September. It goes without saying that she LOVES it! This dance school is a gem in Teddington. Natalie and her team are amazing and professional in every way. They always keep to the highest standards while teaching and guiding the kids gently and with kindness. There's a nice sense of community feel across the school where the children can feel safe and make friends. The way all the dancers - whether young or older - support each other is so lovely and heart-warming to see. The best place I have been lucky enough to find for my daughter, which I can highly recommend! Thanks TDS!!”

“Great one to one lesson in very well organised and covid safe eviornment!”

“Good venue and nice people There is a beginner class from 7:30pm and then 8:30pm the intermediate class begins. Social dance opportunity till 10:30pm every Monday except bank holidays. Newbies are welcomed here. Tim is the regular teacher, who is very good and really friendly guy.”

“Really happy with the way my daighter Isabelle developed in all aspects. She made friends, she loves her teachers. The reception and management is also great, responsive and they don t put money first but the child wellbeing. Adapting easily to child needs and always provide a daily report. Very transparent and professional. Food is also great, many healthy and diverse choices, also i love the fact there are many events, we as parents take part too ( stay and play, macmillan breakfast etc) . Thank you team”

“Hampton Court Palace is a magnificent historic site full of Tudor charm and rich history. The gardens are stunning and perfect for a leisurely walk. The palace interiors are grand, showcasing beautiful architecture and fascinating exhibitions. Staff are mostly helpful, though some areas could be improved for visitor engagement. The audio guide enhances the experience. A great day out for history lovers and families alike, though ticket prices are a bit steep”

“6 years ago, we started to look for nurseries for our first born near where we lived (quite far from Adventures) and really didn't get that same impression as when we stepped foot in Adventures Day Nursery for our first visit. Throughout the past 6 years, we've been fortunate enough to have the dedicated team look after both our sons and the love & affection shown is above anything we've seen at any nursery. I’ve found it’s been worth those long drop offs in the morning and those times I'd need to have my laptop with me to start work. It's clear Kim has taken her love of this work and spent time hiring staff who share that same passion to create this unique environment. This become particularly important when our 2nd child was diagnosed with a range of allergies, and it meant we were even more cautious around nursery care. However, the Adventures Team were able to accommodate and have made him feel very included in all activities. Sadly we're now coming to end of this journey, we can't help but recommend Kim & the wider team.”

“I wish I could give Kate an additional 5 stars. I booked her for my daughter's first birthday party. She was brilliant. Her show was engaging for both the littles and parents alike. She was on time, professional and very friendly. If you’re looking for children’s entertainment I’d say book her. You will not be disappointed!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars It was my first time visiting Softplay with my 15-month-old, and I was pleasantly surprised! The area was spacious, clean, and not overcrowded at all. I loved that they had separate sections for different age groups — including a special area just for little ones up to 18 months. Everything was well supervised. One of the staff members was especially attentive, always making sure the older kids didn’t wander into the baby area and that everyone followed the rules. It made the experience feel very safe and respectful for everyone. The whole place was spotless, the vibe was great, and even the food was good! I also really appreciated that we didn’t need to pre-book — we just walked in, and for the whole family, it was only £11.50 for a two-hour slot, which is amazing value. Overall, it was a wonderful experience — clean, well-organized, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

“My boys have been coming to Little Street since they were 18 months . They have always loved it . It's a great place to nurture the imagination and the staff is always very nice and friendly. It's also very clean and tidy. My kids are 5 now and they are still enjoying very much playing at Little Street . It's a very safe place where parents can relax while the children are playing.”

“Absolutely love this nursery, all the teachers are so kind and understanding ❤️ Ms Anne, Ms Dawn and Ms Aileen, thank you for being so wonderful to my 2 year old! He enjoys being there.”
