Safe learning environments in London

“I thoroughly enjoyed my trial Krav Maga class- the class is great exercise, practical, and definitely boosts one’s endorphins- Jack is a very patient and friendly instructor. I have since applied for membership and look forward to future classes! I would recommend this class to anyone who would like to improve their self defence skills, whilst getting good exercise in a fun and friendly environment!”

“My son (5) and daughter (7) were fortunate to attend this club for one month and benefited tremendously. There is real warmth to the training sessions. Sensei Tufayl makes them light-hearted, entertaining whilst developing the fundamentals skills required for them to excel in BJJ. I know I will be returning if circumstances change. Highly recommend for all seeking a safe and enjoyable training environment for their children.”

“My son has been training with We Make Footballers for 2 years and I’m very happy with his progress. He loves football even more now, and I’m really impressed with his achievements. Highly recommend!”

“My kids have been attending Karate Academy Hounslow for the past three years, and it has been an incredible journey for them. They have grown in confidence, discipline, and focus, all while thoroughly enjoying each session. The academy provides a supportive and structured environment that fosters both physical and mental strength, helping them develop valuable life skills beyond just karate. The dedication and encouragement from the coaches are truly commendable—they keep the kids engaged, motivated, and constantly striving for their best. If you’re looking for a place where your child can learn, grow, and be inspired, I highly recommend Karate Academy Hounslow!”

“Coach Stefan has been training my son for a few months and there has been an incredible change in him in terms of his confidence in sports, his stamina build and the fact that he truly enjoys gymnastics and looks forward to it each and every week. coach has a tremendous level of patience and is very kind and supportive in his classes.”

“I’ve been training at Team Shark Martial Arts Academy, and it’s been an incredible experience. The coaches are highly skilled, passionate, motivational, and dedicated to helping students improve, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced fighter. The classes are well-structured, combining technique, conditioning, and real fight application. Muay Thai, Muay Boran, and Kickboxing are taught with deep knowledge and respect for tradition while also being adapted for modern training. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive. As a complete beginner, I was initially hesitant and a bit confused, but from day one, both the coach and students at all levels made me feel welcome. They took the time to explain best practices and even shared their own experiences from when they started the same journey. With their support, I’m already feeling more confident and starting to see real improvements. This is truly a great place to train, whether you're looking to improve fitness, learn self-defense, or compete. If you’re looking for high-quality martial arts training in a friendly and motivating environment, I highly recommend Team Shark Martial Arts Academy!”

“This is a brilliant club! My son has been attending for some years now and he really loves it. Coach Patrick and his colleagues are brimming with enthusiasm and expertise which filters down to their students along with loads of fun.”

“I started going to this club when I was 10 years old (nearly 15 years ago) and it's still the best exercise club I've ever been to - there's something for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Classes are fun and varied, with a really supportive atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to boost their confidence, improve their fitness or just try something new.”

“Tom has an amazing skill teaching children (and adults) to skate. He’s friendly, full of experience and loves to pass on his knowledge in a passionate way. Highly recommend him and his skate school. Pretty handy at building garden skate ramps too.”

“My favorite part of visiting London is attending Mestre Bombril’s capoeira class. Mestre Bombril and his team create an incredibly dynamic, challenging, and welcoming environment that makes every session wonderful. I’ve trained in many capoeira classes—from Salvador, Bahia (my hometown) to the US, Canada, and beyond—and this is by far one of my favorites. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the energy and spirit of capoeira!”

“My 10 year daughter loves being part of the Kidz got talent family, she only joined at the beginning of the year and has been welcomed so warmly. Nicole and the teachers are fantastic at what they teach and really give the dancers confidence all the time. Recently they have introduced virtual lessons keeping the dancers going and have dealt with the transition amazingly. Would highly recommend to friends and family (and have)”

“The Kensington Little Dance Academy has been our home away from home. We couldn’t be more grateful for Ms. Georgina’s ballet class and the incredible impact it has had on my children. Both my daughter (3) and son (2) absolutely adore their time in class, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown under Ms. Georgina’s guidance. The support and encouragement from both Ms. Georgina and Ms. Beth has been unwavering. I cannot recommend these classes enough!”

“It was a pleasure to have met Stefan. We highly appreciated Stefan’s talent, dedication and passion towards dance and sharing the joy of dancing with others. We were looking for a wedding first dance pack and were really lucky to get the flexibility of fitting the lessons in our busy diary. We were made to feel very comfortable and confident which is not always simple when you are new to the spotlight. Stefan’s friendly attitude made the learning experience fun and motivated us through the course, as well as he ensured the choreography was tailored to our personality. Would definitely recommend Stefan to any couple preparing for the special weeding dance or anyone looking to improve their dancing skills. Stefan, thank you for everything!”

“My daughter is doing ballet classes with Enora for a year now and she absolutely love it! Enora is a great teacher and her classes are very well thought for kids, she gets them involved with props, music and games but at the same time she teaches the ballet techniques. It’s a fun class and I highly recommend!”

“We have watched our daughter learn and experience so much since she has been with Dance Act. We have watched her grow her dance skills across many genres but also grow and develop as a person - being taught in a focussed, happy and inspiring environment by teachers who are not just good at what they do but make it enjoyable and fun for the children participating. Combining great teaching with a happy and expressive environment is exactly what Dance Act do. They actively promote the importance of teamwork and togetherness whilst also unlocking and building on induvial talent.”

“Learnt about this nursery by chance in the internet, and I couldn't feel happier of having done so. Despite that my daughter's mother tongue wasn't English, it was admirable to see how well she adapted, since the very first day! All thanks to the excellent team of professionals at Bees Knees, they've supported us whenever we've needed them. I absolutely recommend this nursery.”

“Top nursery. The staff and in particular, the management are amazing. So patient with the children and my son settled in really quickly. Highly recommend!”

“We’ve been coming to baby sensory classes with Alex for 7 months and we absolutely love them! The classes have lovely creative elements that keep the babies entertained. It’s also nice to take a break from having to entertain your baby yourself and meet other mums.”

“My daughter has thrived at Playdays since day one. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, making her feel right at home. The admin team are also fantastic, always helpful and supportive. I'm so grateful for the nurturing environment they've provided.”

“Our two sons are currently attending Playdays, in the baby room and in the preschool room. We are extremely happy with the nursery. The staff is very kind and caring and most of them have been around for many years which is great as a lot of nurseries nearby have a high staff turnover. The nursery is very well managed by Miss Kerry and everything runs smoothly. The children have the opportunity to do lots of activities (baby yoga, dance, french, swimming...) as well as regular trips to the park. We would 100% recommend this nursery to parents.”

“We are so happy to have joined the Balham rainbow family! Kirsty, Flavia and all the staff have been so friendly and absolutely amazing with our son and made the settling in days much less anxious for us parents! It's great to see a smile on our son's face when he gets to Rainbow, he's clearly given lots of care and affection. They also organise nice events for kids and for parents. We are feeling very lucky to have found them!!”

“Our son has been at Home from Home for a year now, and we’ve been really happy with the care and support he’s received. He’s developed such a lovely bond with the staff, who are always nurturing and genuinely care about him and all the children in their care. Since joining, we’ve seen him grow so much in confidence, which is a real testament to the warm and encouraging environment the team creates. The staff are always coming up with creative, engaging activities, and we love that the children are regularly out and about in the community. Imagination, fun, and kindness are clearly at the heart of everything they do, and we’re so grateful to everyone at Home from Home for helping our son thrive.”

“Both of my children attend this nursery. One started at 10 months old and one at 2 years old. The staff are absolutely amazing with both of them. I can truly say I have so much faith in all of the staff and the nursery itself! I even leave my children there beyond there normal hours and the nursery are happy to work around my work schedule. My children love the nursery and have made so much progress. This nursery has been a god sent to me - really amazing work guys! Thank you Magicwords Nursery!”

“Flying tots is amazing, Sharon and her team are the ideal people one can ask to work with open communication, support with getting the right documents like the DBS, certificates and trainings to nurture holistic chaperones. Loved the help I received with my DBS processing and Most of all, I loved the souvenirs we received, they really inspire you that you are indeed a flying chaperone who will go places.”

“Owls Daycare has been like a second home for Emily since she was 9 months old, and now, as she approaches 4, she still loves every moment there! Emily was one of the first children to attend when Owls opened, and the support she's received over the years has been amazing. As she's simultaneously learning two languages—English as her native language and Portuguese as her heritage language—the team has been incredibly supportive in helping her develop strong communication skills. Their understanding and encouragement have been instrumental in her language growth. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being and development. Emily has flourished in this nurturing environment, not only socially and academically but also in expressing herself confidently in both languages. Parents receive daily updates on their child’s progress during pick-up, along with photos and reports via the Tapestry online platform. I’m so grateful for the love and care Owls Daycare has shown Emily, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her early years. A big thank you to Siobhan, James, Kayleigh, Ciara, Giovana, Ciaran and Jane Thank you for being such an important part of her life and learning journey! P.S. The photos are from her very first day at Owls!”

“I can not recommend Colby Nursery enough. My daughter attended there for almost a year and we were very sad to say goodbye last week due to moving away. Mary and all the team were absolutely fantastic, they provided a safe, secure and nurturing environment for my daughter to learn and develop. The garden is a welcome addition to the nursery ensuring they children have plenty of outdoor time and fresh air. It really is a fantastic environment for small children and we are so happy and grateful for the time our daughter E had there! We will miss you all so much Colby Road Nursery! Xx”

“Love simply kids for wraparound care and holiday clubs. The team behind this business truly care for your children and go above and beyond. They are a special bunch.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“My daughter attends the nursery and could not be happier. The staff are incredible and obviously really care about the children - my daughter has built fantastic bonds with not only her key workers but all of the staff. Every day we are given detailed hand overs about her adventures at nursery and the different ways they are focusing on her development. We have watched her flourish since she started attending and it was been wonderful to see. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, it feels like a second family and we are so lucky to have found it!”

“My 3 year old is attending this nursery and he is really happy. Every time when i go to pick him up always a happy smile on his face. He definitely enjoys his time there. Also the members are really gentle, caring and understanding.”
