Parenting tips in London

“I can’t thank Mario enough! My 13-year-old cat had never been groomed before, so I was nervous about how he would handle it. Mario was incredibly professional, patient, and gentle—he really took the time to calm him down and make him feel comfortable. You can tell he truly loves and cares about the animals he works with. The grooming was absolutely perfect, and my cat looks amazing. I only wish I had found him sooner. Highly recommend Mario!”

“We recently had our newborn son circumcised at Circumcision Clinic London (CCL) Dr Anwar Khan , and overall, we had a very positive experience. As first-time parents, we were naturally anxious about the procedure, but Dr. Khan and the entire staff were incredibly kind, patient, and informative. They took the time to explain the entire process in detail, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. The procedure itself was quick and done with great care. We were allowed to be present and comfort our baby immediately afterward. The doctor gave us clear post-care instructions and even provided written guidelines and a helpline in case we had concerns later on. Our baby was a bit fussy the first day, which we were told to expect, but he healed beautifully within a week. We followed the care instructions carefully, and we had a follow up appointment after 2 weeks. We’re grateful for how smoothly everything went and how compassionate the team was during a sensitive and emotional time for us. We would definitely recommend this clinic to other parents considering circumcision for their child.”

“Excellent experience at Belle Baby in Twickenham! We walked in without an appointment to explore strollers and baby essentials. Ermina, store manager, was fantastic. She gave us space to browse but was quick to help when we needed it. Her approach was perfect - asking questions to understand our needs and showing relevant items without any pressure to buy. She was very informative and even suggested we take time to think before making a decision. Definitely will recommend this store for expecting parents!”

“I highly recommend Dr Sawczenko. He provided extensive, detailed and compassionate care. he is really wonderful with children and carries fantastic bedside manners with kids.”

“Martha came to our home for a 1:1 consultation and was absolutely fantastic. She was super knowledgeable and full of useful hacks. I needed help with carrying my newborn twins and she gave me the confidence for it as well as made lots of helpful suggestions and recommendations. She also helped to fit a carrier. We plan to have her round again when the babies are a little bigger and are able to fit into a different set of carriers. Thank you!”

“I couldn’t recommend Lucy’s services more. I had the best time learning baby massage with my newborn at her lovely home. Over a few short weeks it was wonderful to see how much my newborn enjoyed the different techniques and how his body changed during the course. He always had a good poo and a good night’s sleep afterwards! As a bonus, Lucy’s expertise across all things babies and feeding meant we could ask lots of other questions in a relaxed homely environment - ideal for a newborn mum.”

“Lou was a game changer for our breastfeeding journey. I was in pain and clueless in the first days. She showed me simple, effective position changes and how a correct latch looks like, that made feeding comfortable again. Thanks to her support, I’m now breastfeeding confidently and loving the experience. I’d highly recommend her!”

“Lovely baby set, would 100% purchase from here again. Excellent quality and Fast delivery. the owner is lovely and keeps you updated. x”

“Went to Mario’s for the first time last weekend, and was greeted by a very polite, friendly, and very capable barber. He provided me with a great haircut at an amazing price. I have found myself a regular barber after trying out many in the area, I would highly recommend Mario.”

“Had a lovely experience. The reception area is really cute and calming. The scan was reassuring. All staff I spoke to were very kind and helpful. Thanks!”

“Plus-pets highly recommend always a great price in my orders always use these 5stars delivery very quick thank you John and Caroline”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rachel is amazing! After a terrible experience with another groomer that led to an emergency vet visit, I was very nervous about trying someone new. Rachel immediately put me at ease, she’s professional, gentle, and truly brilliant at what she does. I have zero anxiety leaving Otis with her, and he always comes out looking fantastic. Highly recommend!”

“I have been, often, visiting this pharmacy within the last couple of years, to get my medication and ask for advice .. I respect and admire their approach to the need of their customers. There is something original about them, when interacting with their staff, you get a feeling of how a local pharmacy should serve their local community members. Especially the pharmacist, Tudor, he has alway given me very simple and practical options in dealing with questions related to my health, for which I am grateful for .. Thank you again for this great service…”

“My daughter has been attending Stanmore BLS since last Sept and she loves the carers, other kids and the Milkyway room itself. She tells is what she played with on a nursery day, how she put her coat on/off etc. She has a lovely rapport with her key worker and all other carers too. She gets excited at the mention of Nursery! She is soon moving up to Orion and the team have arranged frequent visits to the room in advance so she settles easier - she seems to love the new room and I can see from the room visit that she will have a play-adventure everyday. Also happy with the webinars and learning resources BLS offer - I just attended the potty webinar this week and on the back of that we will soon be ready to implement the tools and advice to our daughter.”

“I bought a baby teddy syrian boy on Friday, and he is lovely. Exploring his cage tonight, and coming to the bars when we gently call him.”

“After a very traumatic few days of my cat being in hospital he came home looking absolutely bedraggled and smelling awful!!! A big, big thank you to Petsland for making my Oscar look and smell absolutely amazing!! You have made my week ❤️”

“I come in around every 1-2 weeks to purchase raw dog food. There is always ample stock, which I have struggled with at other locations. The staff are always extremely welcoming, helpful and always keen to offer a treat to my dogs! They understand pet body language and have slowly made one of my more nervous dogs feel so happy and welcome. He loves a trip there now! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else.”

“My son has really enjoyed his 1:1 lessons this week. He has made meaningful progress and has additional confidence. The Blue Wave team were great with their communication and expertise.”

“We had an amazing experience at Babycare of Dagenham picking our first pram/travel system for our baby. Hing especially was very informative, friendly and calm, she really went above and beyond to show us everything thoroughly and encouraged us to test things giving us the best of the experience and making the choice much easier for us. We're so glad we chose you for our purchase & look forward to receiving and using it.”

“By far the best shop on Hoxton Street! Amazing selection of fresh produce, ingredients, and spices/herbs. I don’t think I’ve ever been in and failed to find what I was looking for. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and everything is reasonably priced - you can’t ask for much more!”

“I can't recommend this fabulous dance school enough, my daughter has been dancing here for 13 years , it's simply the best . The opportunity's that these children have are amazing. Performing on cruise ships , Disney, Haven and in the west end . The teachers bring the best out of each child . Adult classes are also available which i also attend . Communication is always good , we are kept informed at every step with emails and can always talk to staff if needed. Lucy Lovick and her team are brilliant ❤️ 5 stars from me and Katie x”

“Debby and the team were fantastic. Our twin girls had a wonderful time and enjoyed every moment of it. Hair cut was great and the little extra touches (nails and balloons), had the smiling from ear to ear. Couldn’t recommend it more!”

“Love this place, like a tiny screwfix x BQ… they have everything I have ever needed over the years and lots of things I didn’t need but bought anyway. Prices are amazingly low too, I bought a plunger for half the price it was at Amazon and Screwfix.. Staff are always friendly, polite and helpful too.”

“I have been at the repair cafe and I was very happy with the repaired table lamp I brought. It was a friendly atmosphere and there were helpful people and an exchange of knowledge. The centre is a very good place to do some gymnastics and creativ courses too and its very easy und with a low budget to join. Thanks a lot to the whole team!”

“We have a fantastic day in the children's centre. I booked place for my boys for the Easter event. It was amazing. So much activities. My small boys are 5,6 years old. They enjoy every minute of the event. Thank you so much for organising it. It was amazing.”

“Went here with my friend and children what a lovely place for children to be children free snacks and lots to do. Very friendly and helpful staff especially the reception team I had to write a review after reading lots of negatives ones I don't know why these are on there they are not seeing what I'm seeing good work John Smith keep it up...”

“Excellent service. Prescription arrived within a few days and a lot cheaper than the vets. Also got a few bag of goodies. Will definitely be ordering from Pet Counter again!”
