School experience in London

“I love going to Switch Nails. I’ve been using the same salon for over a year now. The products, professionalism and quality of service speaks for itself. No matter who does your nails, I always leave happy and appreciative of the amazing work.”

“Drama in the Woods is a fantastic way for children to spend a week outdoors blowing away the cobwebs, making friends and being creative. The instructors are the perfect mix of professional, caring and fun. My kids love it.”

“Fabulous nursery staff are friendly helpful and really care about each individual child in their care. The children love going to nursery and all seem happy at the end of every day. The activities help the development of the children and their nurturing focus is excellent.”

“Little Acorns Montessori School - A Haven for Independent and Curious Learners Our experience with Little Acorns Montessori School has been a transformative journey, especially for our two sons. This nursery isn't just a place for learning; it's a vibrant, nurturing environment that embodies the essence of Montessori education. The school's commitment to the Montessori principles is evident in every aspect, significantly impacting our children's development. Both our sons have shown remarkable progress in academic areas such as writing, phonics, and numeracy. However, what truly sets Little Acorns apart is how it has nurtured them into becoming independent and curious learners. This transformation is a clear testament to the effectiveness of the Montessori method practiced at the school. The school offers a range of activities beyond the traditional curriculum, including dancing and French lessons, which our sons absolutely love. These activities not only supplement their learning but also cater to their diverse interests, fostering a joyous and holistic educational experience. The atmosphere at Little Acorns is akin to a warm, welcoming family. This sense of community and belonging, fostered by the dedicated staff, makes the school a true home away from home for our children. In summary, Little Acorns Montessori School stands out as an exemplary institution for parents who value not only academic excellence but also the overall development of their children. Our sons' growth into independent and curious learners is a direct reflection of the nurturing, Montessori-centered environment that Little Acorns provides. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent seeking a comprehensive, caring, and enriching educational experience for their children.”

“Sad that my little one is leaving to go to big school, my daughter loved coming here, they taught her so much and is definitely ready for school and have done so well getting her ready for school. Some of the things my daughter has learnt is amazing! The staff work hard, all the staff are so lovely and the manager is so passionate about every child being her little treasure. The difference between other nurseries and this nursery is that Michelle (manager) does not see the nursery as a ‘business’ but a home where she treats all the families and children like her own and is very supportive. Thank you little treasures and to all you special staff who looked after my daughter… we will be back and pop by for visits ❤️”

“Our daughter had a lovely experience at Katey’s House whilst we lived in Kingston. We felt that the staff cared deeply about our daughter there. Karolina’s warmth, responsiveness and professionalism was so palpable. We look forward to watch from afar to see what she continues to build.”

“My son has been swimming with Goggle Squad since November and is really enjoying it. His confidence around the water has always been great but he’s been making rapid progress with the actual swimming since starting. The small classes with children of similar age really allow the teacher to focus on each child individually and the pool facilities are great too!”

“It's a great school. My three children went there, loved every minute of it. Great location, excellent facilities and teachers. Could not recommend it highly enough. People buy properties in the neighborhood to be in the catchment area!”

“Thomas Jones is an exceptional school with highly dedicated staff. They maintain extremely high standards through providing both support and nurture for children to achieve. The energy and focus of the staff raises the expectations not just of the school but of the whole community.”

“The Paddington Bear Experience was a truly special day out for both adults and children. The live actors were brilliant and engaging. The set and scenery was incredible - lots of attention to detail! Booking was made easy by the lovely staff. Overall, it was a memorable day out and special treat at Christmas time.”

“Our son has attended this school for several years. It has helped him to develop as a performer and as a young man. The staff are superb and the family environment found here nurtures creativity and builds confidence in a safe space. We cannot thank them enough for all they have done for our son.”

“Excellent Experience at London Powerboat School - Highly Recommend! I recently completed my Powerboat Level Two license at London Powerboat School, and I can't recommend them highly enough! My instructor, Bill, was absolutely brilliant. His experience really shone through, especially with the practical training manoeuvres. He made everything incredibly clear and easy to understand giving you confidence to handle the boat at high and low speeds. Beyond the hands-on training, Bill's theoretical explanations of boat mechanics, safety protocols, and navigation were clear and comprehensive. He managed to make what could be dry subjects genuinely engaging and easy to grasp. On top of all that, he made the whole experience a lot of fun! If you're looking to get your powerboat license, look no further than London Powerboat School. You won't be disappointed!”

“We had visited quite a few nurseries for my 18-month old and and were thrilled to find Crafty Wizards preschool which unusually for a preschool takes from 18-months. We love the format that all ages are mixed together promoting peer learning and the setting is intimate and personal. The staff are wonderful and really care about the kids. There are two gardens, one of which is a bit like a small forest school with a mud kitchen, which our little one loves. Since day 1 he’s been so happy to be there with zero separation anxiety. Highly recommend to other parents who want something different to the usual nursery format.”

“Amazing performing arts school. Offers an astonishing range of classes, taught by first-class teachers and an end of year showcase that rivals West End productions. Couldn't recommend more highly.”

“We had a glorious sunny morning for our SUP lesson with Claire who could not have been more helpful. She was on hand with advice and encouragement throughout and quickly had us all up and paddling down the Thames. The equipment felt good quality and safe. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and one I would definitely recommend for all ages. I was a little apprehensive about falling into the Thames but Claire quickly comes to the rescue to help get you back onboard and it's all part of the fun providing entertainment for the local residents and passing rowers! :-) A great morning out on the river!”

“I booked a combined session of sup yoga and paddleboarding. Experience and location for this activity was great. Small group and relaxed atmosphere. Lots of lovely pics from organisers shared after the session. Will definitelly book with them again. They also run a club with regular social paddles whole year round.”

“I used to do muai thai kickboxing many years ago. Following a injury to my hip I had to stop. I never thought I'd be able to engage in this sport I love so much. Well, until I started training with Jimmy about 5 months ago. His understanding of the body, injury prevention and rehabilitation, really helped. The range of movement in my hip continues to get better and stronger. I am faster, stronger, my technique continues to improve. I really connected well with Jimmys style of training, as its about training like a athlete, the discipline and commitment. Also his passion for the sport. When I think about where I started when I first started training with Jimmy to where I am now, I feel very thankful, plus proud of my journey and I am excited to continue progressing my skills in this sport I love very much! And its all because of the sessions with Jimmy, so thank you so much for being the best and always believing that I can do it! I always feel like a total champion after our sessions!”

“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.”

“I recently had a lesson with Mark, and it was an incredible experience. The equipment he used was very high-tech, featuring advanced swing analysis tools and instant feedback systems that provided detailed insights into my performance. There was an abundance of information available, covering everything from my grip technique to my follow-through. Mark also outlined various ways I could improve based on my unique strengths and weaknesses. He was exceptionally friendly and approachable, making the entire learning process enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their golf skills! ⛳”

“Excellent bjj instructor, learnt a lot of moves.”

“My 4 year old daughter attends Ballet at Starmakerz every week and she absolutely adores it. Every morning she asks “is it ballet today?” it is without doubt the highlight of her week. She was nervous to start with but Lisa and the team were amazing at encouraging her to give it a try and even offered us a second free trial, after which I could barely drag her away at the end! Really can’t recommend highly enough, even for the shy children it’s a brilliant confidence boost.”

“I completed the beginner and advanced classes over the summer and absolutely loved them! Colette and Robin were great at explaining each step of learning and we left feeling inspired watching them dance after their demonstrations! The class was a great size and everyone was very friendly and kind to us. Despite not knowing how to dance, by the end of the course I was shocked at how much I had learnt! They also helped introduce us to places we could keep practicing and dancing in London. It was a lovely part of the week to look forward to and I would absolutely recommend!!”

“We have loved ballet classed with Miss Lika. Since our daughter was small she has really enjoyed the classes. Prima School of Ballet make their classes fun, very engaging and really inspiring and as a result our daughter has developed a love for ballet. We highly recommend them.”

“It is a nice dance school I have learnt so much from it and we have so much fun every time I go to dance!”

“Our children have been taking lessons with RSB for the last 9 years, and we really can't recommend them highly enough. Our daughter takes several dance classes in different disciplines which she absolutely loves. All 3 of our children also attend Starlight, their musical theatre course, which they enjoy immensely. The numerous performance opportunities the children have had has really helped them to grow in confidence and to develop life skills which sadly can't always be taught within the confines of the National Curriculum. RSB's teachers are fantastic, both in their level of expertise and their ability to nurture the children as individuals.”

“Our daughter dances at Caterham Dance School with Clara and Damian and their reputation for excellence is very well-deserved. From trying out a cha cha in the children's beginner class, through to competing in juvenile ballroom and latin competitions, they have been really supportive at every step - tailoring teaching and advice on technique to her abilities as they develop, and continuing to inspire her love of dance!”

“A massive thank you to Anna for helping us devise and nail a routine for our wedding day! She was super friendly, flexible with arranging sessions and extremely patient with two non-dancers, creating the perfect safe space for learning. We had a slightly unusual first dance song and she went above and beyond to choreograph a routine that worked perfectly. A lot of our guests were impressed with the performance and we had a ton of fun throughout the process. Thanks a million Anna!”

“Jack provided private lessons to both myself and my wife before our wedding, along with group lessons for both our hen and stag dos. He's an amazing dancer and his passion for dancing and teaching is contagious. Jack made us feel completely comfortable and he helps you learn whether you can dance or have two left feet. The group sessions for our friends were great fun. Jack had even the most seasoned English wallflowers up on their feet. We will both be having further private lessons and we can't recommend Jack highly enough.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Dora when she taught us our first dance. She was extremely communicative, friendly, and made the two lessons a lot of fun! If you would like a choreographed first dance, I couldn’t recommend Dora more.”

“Dilek is the best ballet teacher I’ve ever trained with. She really cares about the individual improvement of all her pupils and pushes you to be the best dancer you can be. The atmosphere she creates at the school and in her classes is friendly, supportive and fun. As an adult ballet dancer, I could not recommend her enough!”
