Safe learning environments in Richmond

“The staff is very friendly and they truly care for the children. My daughter is very happy there, so we are.”

“A fun, interactive space to climb, run, jump and explore everything that a plant needs to grow. Based in a natural setting the size of 40 tennis courts, children can explore all the things plants need to grow in our Children's Garden, designed for children from 2 to 12 years old. Over 100 mature trees are spread over this beautiful landscape, with hidden treasures and adventures around every corner, leading to a 4m high canopy walk wrapped around a 200-year-old oak in the heart of the Children's Garden. No pre-booking required – all visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the day until one hour before the Gardens close.”

“Great community hub for children and families.”

“The one oclock club is like the dream backgarden but of your best friends house so you don’t have to tidy up! Your children can run wild with no shoes, get wonderfully wet and grubby and generally have a bit of a 90s childhood experience. There a thousand different toys to play and experiment. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 1 year old and it suits them both perfectly. They can explore the space independently and it’s the perfect size for me to keep an eye on them without hovering over them. We love it!”

“Such a great class! Julia is so lovely and my baby loved every session - we went for a full year. More affordable/accessible than lots of other classes out there and I met some really nice other mums/babies too. Would highly recommend!”

“Sudbrook is a lovely school, the children are loved and taught and come out with a good background. There is a great mix of physical and mental work coupled with healthy amounts of play. Honestly we could have done with having longer hours but if that's the worst problem then they are doing very very well. Highly recommended for your little ones. Not recommended as a sixth form college :) ......................”

“Always been a fabulous school. My 3 kids adore it - the teachers care and the facilities are wonderful.”

“As a parent to a 3-year-old toddler in the nursery, I write this review to share my current experience. Becket House Nursery is an exceptional place where children are nurtured, inspired, and encouraged to thrive. The teachers are truly remarkable, providing individualized attention and fostering a warm, caring environment where every child feels valued and supported. Their dedication to the children’s well-being and development is evident in every interaction, making it a joy to see the little ones flourish under their guidance. The nursery offers a perfect balance of structure and exploration, including twice-daily short walks to the nearby park where children can play, interact, and connect with nature. Dannie loves going to Becket House, where the safe and nurturing environment allows them to feel secure and happy every day, giving me peace of mind to leave her in such a trusted place. What truly sets Becket House apart is the passion and vision of the owner and nursery manager, who consistently strive to provide innovative and engaging experiences for the children, such as the NAO robot which provides interactive learning. Every day, they introduce professional activities from outside, such as drama, music with instruments, yoga, and sports, ensuring a diverse and enriching experience.”

“Wonderful nursery! My little one is really happy there. Staff is brilliant, caring and supportive. From the beautiful ambient of Marble Hill Park to delicious and nutritious food lovingly prepared daily. Teachers and management who genuinely care for children and their families. Great option for outdoorsy kids.”

“My four children attended St Edmund's and all were very happy. They received an excellent all-round education from an experienced and caring staff, in a warm but ambitious environment. I am now a governor at St Edmund's and am impressed every single time I attend the school for visits or meetings, at the absolute passion that all school staff have to ensure that every single child makes excellent progress and learns lifelong skills. I can't recommend this school highly enough, I am proud of my children and what they have achieved and give a good part of the credit for this to St Edmund's.”

“amazing school. i came here in year 5 and now im in year 10 in waldegrave, 100% recomened by me!”

“We like this school. The wilderness and the canteen are just top. Of course the staff is excellent. My son is enjoying to attend it. Big thanks to everyone who works over there.”

“My Sunshine Day has been absolutely life-changing for our children. From day one, the level of care and attention they received exceeded all our expectations. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. What stood out to us immediately was the one-on-one support provided not just by their room teachers, but by the entire management team. Everyone made the effort to get to know our children personally, which helped them feel secure, seen, and valued during their transition into the nursery. Our children took time to settle, and the staff were so patient and nurturing throughout. They created a calm, comforting environment that helped them build confidence at their own pace. Their happiness and comfort have always been the top priority, and we felt reassured every day that they were in the best possible hands. The nursery itself is beautiful—bright, welcoming, and filled with thoughtfully chosen toys and resources that encourage creativity, imagination, and independence. The rooms are clean and well-organized, making it a joy for the children to explore. What really sets this nursery apart is the variety and quality of the activities they offer. Our children have loved the sessions in music, languages, sports, arts, and even theater. These experiences have had a huge impact on their confidence, communication, and social development—and they’re always excited to share what they’ve learned each day. We've also had incredible support with potty training and language development. The staff are so experienced, consistent, and encouraging, and they kept us updated every step of the way. It's made a huge difference in how quickly and positively our children have progressed. We feel so lucky to have found this nursery. It’s more than just childcare—it’s a warm, inspiring community that puts children’s happiness and development at the heart of everything. My Sunshine Day has truly changed our children’s lives, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly to any parent.”

“I go to that school I'm in year six”

“Our two kids have attended Montys since they were one, and it’s been an exceptional experience - a true home away from home. The team’s experience, knowledge, kindness, and dedication are second to none, creating a nurturing environment where kids thrive. Ours have been incredibly happy and were well-prepared for school when the time came. I wholeheartedly recommend Montys to any parent, and every family we know who’s sent their child there shares the same enthusiasm for this outstanding team. Last but by no means least, I must mention the office efficiency and food they make for the kids too. Eternally grateful for the Montys family. I just wish they didn’t have to grow up!”

“My son spent 7 years at this school and I cannot rate it highly enough. It is a lovely, friendly and caring environment with a great community feel. We have very happy memories”

“My kids loved their time here. The staff were so good with them, always caring and always thoughtful. I’m glad we chose Sheen Park, as our kids had such a happy time and they left it confident and ready for primary school.”
