Safe nurturing environment in Welling

“I am a new retiree and have recently become a volunteer at Barnfield Riding for Disabled/Riding School. I didn’t know what to expect …but the kindness and expert care shown to the horses and clients is exactly what I hoped. At age 66..and having not ridden for many many years..I have been inspired by the staff here to soon start my own riding lessons and aim to get back in the saddle…something I never thought I would ever do. I unreservedly recommend. (maybe anyone reading this might consider volunteering too?)”

“I highly recommend this nursery. My son, Sayyid, has been attending for three and a half years, and he feels safe and happy there. Every day, he’s excited to go, and he loves everyone who cares for him. The staff are always smiling, friendly, and make him feel like it’s a second home. As a mother, seeing him so happy gives me confidence and peace of mind. Sayyid started attending the nursery as a baby, and it’s been amazing to watch him grow and learn so much over the years. A special thanks to Suri, the nursery manager, who has carefully selected such a wonderful team. She is always welcoming, approachable, and available, and I truly believe the nursery wouldn’t be the same without her.”

“Excellent and varied kids drama workshops. A great addition to Forest Gate!”

“Absolutely wonderful doctor. So responsive. And genuinely cares. Easy to contact. Thorough in her investigations. And just a nice person too!”

“The staff were very good and friendly with my Godson when we went for appointment. They made us feel welcome and it was a very safe and pleasant environment filled with toys to keep them occupied while they carry out the assessments they need to do.”

“This is the best after school club ever! My daughter loves it and has built up her strength in her arms and core since starting. It is the only club that she doesn’t complain about going to. Highly recommend it! (Also want to keep it a secret so too many don’t join!)”

““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.

“My son finished nursery today! Everyone at Rising Stars is seriously amazing, they're so good with the kids, and my son feels so loved there. Thanks for helping him grow and learn so much!”

“This outstanding ranked school has been there for several decades and the teaching staffs are caring and responsible.”

“We are so happy to have chosen The Pavillion Montessori School! Our son loves it! In the short time he’s been attending, he has learned so much. I have always liked Montessori and I love the commitment this school has with Montessori concepts and methods, not to mention the amazing teachers! It’s a wonderful and nurturing environment and I couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“Our eldest attended here for one year. It is an excellent pre-school wonderfully located in the middle of West Harrow Park serving the West Harrow community and beyond.”

“We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Greenwood Nursery. Coming from a previous nursery where a serious case of abuse had been announced a year ago, trusting a new setting again was not easy for us. At first, we also weren’t fully convinced by the layout, as the nursery is split into two separate buildings. But in the end, this turned out to be a real positive;everything runs smoothly, and the setup actually works incredibly well. The staff are truly fantastic. They provide detailed handovers every day and post frequently on the app, where we can clearly see how busy and engaged they are with the children. Our child was excited to go to nursery every morning and absolutely loved every single member of the team. One of the things we appreciate the most is the variety of activities they offer. They don’t just stay indoors;they take the children out regularly, and they even organised visits to a local care home. This is one of the most heartwarming activities we’ve seen, benefiting both the children and the elderly residents. They also go to the playground twice a day, and at the end of our son’s final day, he came home with a whole bag full of arts and crafts he had made. Although our son is now in school and attends a different nursery for afterschool hours (purely for convenience), we truly miss Greenwood. One of their standout qualities is their openness: parents can come inside at pick-up, walk in freely, and see the children in action without making them uncomfortable or interrupting. This transparency gave us a huge sense of trust and peace of mind;something we haven’t found elsewhere, where doors barely open and everything feels much more closed off. At Greenwood, you can pop in at any time and see exactly what’s going on. They have nothing to hide, and it shows. We would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent. For us, it’s the best nursery in town. If they had an outdoor space, it would be a 10/10;but since they go outside twice a day anyway, I think they fully deserve that 10/10. Definitely give them a try. We’re so grateful for the amazing experience they provided our little one.”

“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 :) ......................”

“Our daughter went to Little School on the Green and we found it wonderful. I don't think we could have found a more caring friendly setting for our toddler. Highly recommended.”

“We’ve had the best experience at The White House. My son, who is now at a Senior school choosing GCSES, achieved excellent offers thanks to the support of his amazing teachers and the school. My daughter, in her final years, is thriving academically, excelling in sports, and has built strong relationships with peers. The school is like a community and We’re grateful for everything this school has provided and highly recommend it. Be sad to when my daughter’s time comes to an end but all good things …”

“For any parent that is anxious about leaving their little one, I can assure you that your child is in good hands at Melrose Nursery. The staff are extremely bubbly and are always happy, understanding and caring. They are always happy to help. My son absolutely loves going to the nursery! They helped him achieve all of his age related targets. I am so happy we chose Melrose ❤️”

“Best Nursery ever, my child loved it there. Staff is amazing, they take care of children like they were their own. My daughter loves there and I can see how she was improving with hers behaviour, speech, manners. Staff is so helpfull and kind. Love every single of them and am so great full to them. I suggest anyone and everyone this amazing nursery, you will not regret and main thing our child will be happy and safe there.”

“This is a great nursery and I can highly recommend it. The indoor space is so large, the food is cooked fresh daily and I find the staff very professional. My son has absolutely loved the nursery and I feel confident leaving him in their care (Mary Land).”

“Had the most wonderful experience at this Pre-School. The teachers and very kind and friendly, my daughter loves them! They made the transition very easy.”

“We know Jessica and Luis, they are wonderful people whose way of educating their daughters makes Huellas a place of trust for parents who have their children there.”

“Great and very well run kindergarten. The attention to detail and care of the key workers towards the children is exemplary.”

“This is a brilliant childcare environment my child was well looked after and all the staff are so caring it is a wonderful environment for children and for their learning”

“My grandson attends this beautiful nursery, very friendly and personal to each child's needs. Staff are lovely and very caring. Management are great and always ready to support your children's needs/requirements. My grandson arrives happy and never wants to leave, he's goes on lots of trips and walks but his favourite part is the soft play area.”

“My son loves Nursery Room. He was around 18 months when he started but he has grown fond of the environment and the staffs very quickly. Everyone is very friendly and they are also very accommodating to your needs too. Perfect setting for us on the way to Eastcote Primary Academy.”
