School in Croydon

“My daughter started here just a few months ago. She has settled in so well! No tears and can’t wait to attend the one day she goes in the week. The preschool has a lovely spacious friendly atmosphere, with welcoming teachers. They keep you well informed and my daughter’s speech has developed more.”

“Once Upon a Time best nursery with caring and friendly staff. Thank you for your incredible care, patience, and guidance. You’ve helped our little Katerina grow with confidence, curiosity, and kindness. We truly appreciate everything you do! xxx”

“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.”

“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!”

“LatinFlow is an amazing community tucked in the heart of Croydon. A year ago I walked into a class knowing nobody there and only having done a single salsa taster 15 years before. One year on I have found lovely group of people who I look forward to seeing every week, and have had what I suspect will be a lifelong love of salsa fostered. Agnesa is an incredibly supportive teacher who takes you from absolute beginner to being confident with all of the basic steps, then hands you over to Thalia and Pedro who can guide you all the way up to expert standard. I cannot recommend this class highly enough.”

“My daughter loves Spolights! She always enjoys her weekly classes, learning acting, singing and dancing from excellent teachers, and she gets so excited to be part of the amazing shows that they put on. We Will Rock You, her latest show, was a thoroughly professional and wonderful experience both for her and for us a a well entertained audience! Can't wait for the next one!”

“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 children have been learning to swim with Aqua Skills for the last five years and I wouldn’t use any other swim school. They’ve had group lessons, 1:1 and 1:2 lessons and the standard of teaching is excellent. All of the instructors are friendly, patient and committed to securing progress. Unlike other swim schools in the area, group lessons are small and for beginner groups the instructors and their assistants are in the water. In our experience Aqua skills have also been brilliant at helping children to build confidence in the water and overcome any anxieties about certain addicts of learning to swim. The owners are also present at sessions and teaching sometimes themselves. They’re thoroughly lovely people and fantastic at what they do.”

“I've been training here for over a year and I'm having a really positive experience. The coaches are so friendly and welcoming which shapes the overall environment and atmosphere of the gym. Location is easy to get to and they have a variety of classes throughout the day. I highly recommend this place to everyone, but especially to women who are thinking about starting a martial art.”

“I've been a member of Croydon SoG since the age of 3. Now 30 years on, I am now a coach at the club and am one of the longest serving members. In a nutshell I've learnt so much from our Head Coach Jackie Lewis from being a gymnast to becoming a coach. She has mentored me all through my coaching qualifications and I'm still learning! I have a disability (Asperger's and Dyspraxia) so for me learning takes a lot longer but I have always felt included and gymnastics has given me so many opportunities I would otherwise never have had if it wasn't for the club and Jackie. From the first day Jackie entered me into my first competition, I was hooked. I eventually earned my place on the Disabilities National Squad which I was part of for over a decade and represented the club at national and international events. I became a British Champion in 2005 and became overall World Silver Medalist Silver with 2 apparatus golds at the Special Olympics World Games in Athens in 2011. The club is a great place for gymnasts and coaches and has a real family feel. Its open to everyone young or old and caters for all levels including children with disabilities and has a class for adults too. I highly recommend the club to anyone who wants to give their child a an opportunity to take part and perhaps go on to become a competitor in this wonderful sport. Gymnastics sets you up for life, physically, mentally and teaches you life skills as well.”

“My son started nursery there and I just move my daughter she is in year 1, she loves the teachers and the school that's what makes me comfortable and happy when you see your children love a school. Very caring teachers and very discipline school.”

“I can confidently say after four years on the Digital Arts course here at Brit, (from Year 10 to Year 13) that it is a tremendous place for creatives. Digital Arts is without a doubt, one of the highest levels of education available to any young, creative minded individual. The standard of work you will learn to make in Digital Arts could be considered comparable to University level. Another important consideration when selecting an institution is the staff. At Brit, they are nothing but professional, welcoming and supportive always. Going the extra mile and sharing their extensive knowledge and experience is normal practice for Digital Arts staff at Brit. I will also mention that the facility's on the Digital Arts course are excellent and provide Industry standard software and resources guaranteed. This course choice was one of the best decisions of my life hands down, I can't express how much I would encourage anyone to join this course.”

“Hi, My Name is Abdirashid SHEIKH one of your student. I would like to write a comment about Mark Horvath, Student Support Officer, he's very helpful person, this is my second year of this University and he's always there for the students and I have seen that all the time he's availability for everyone. I will send this comment to let you know someone like Mark they deserve higher positions in the Management.”

“Great teaching and support, my son attended for 10+ classes and secured a place a Whitgift School. He enjoyed the small group setting and teaching style. Always had constructive feedback that he could work on and develop. He was actually keen to continue the classes even after securing his place. Highly recommend!”

“My daughters both attend the children’s taekwondo here and are both very happy and love their classes and instructors. Great environment and reasonably priced. As I parent I feel very happy to have found croydon taekwondo and love watching my children grow and thrive under fantastic tuition Would highly recommend”

“This School is very Good My Daughters love it.One of my Daughter's are having a ancient greek Workshop on Feb 1st”

“I had they greatest time of my life there”

“Used for a 8yr old kids birthday with the footie dude, Ben Judge. What a legend he was! Super friendly and attentive and inclusive to the kiddies. Really made the day special. Rest of the venue is clean and lots of parking and easy to find. Recommended.”

“We have been so pleased with this nursery. Our son started in Explorers 5 months ago and all staff have been so kind and caring towards him. We get regular updates on his progress and he experiences fun and engaging activities every day. It’s made the transition to returning to work much easier knowing he’s in such good hands.”

“Attended a child's birthday party event here. Was thoroughly impressed with the swimming pool, good size, clean, warm temperature, lots of floats and things for the kids to play with, excellent safety and a nice little room on the side where they cut the cake and had a little party. Overall really impressed. Oh and the grounds for the school are lovely too! Easy parking available as well.”

“Absolutely phenomenal school. My brother just started y7 and has had a change in attitude. This a good school for your child.”

“THANK YOU, Olive tree nursery for giving us the opportunity to have a fantastic time for my children. Staff and management Accomodate needs for the best of children when they are not settling, getting to know them well and communicating concerns to parents for early intervention, as well as encouraging them eating and becoming Independent and ready for school. My children still remember their nursery and share good memories with lots of artwork and activities they did every week.”

“From my point of view on Whitgift, it did seem to be fairly large and good, with new sports hall and labs and DT/IT stuffs. Teachers are really nice (but a few) and education is at a high standard. There is school tuck shop around the school ground, with direct payment in school canteen.”

“My son attended this preschool since he was 3 year old until school age. I can't describe in my words how greatful I am to all the staff for what they have done for my son. They were caring, understanding and loving. My son tried 2 nurseries before and wouldn't settle in, so I asked the predchool manager for longer settling in period. They understood and allowed my son to take his time. They encouraged him to develop at his own pace, provided interesting resources and activities ans were there for him when he needed help. The preschool is substantially staffed. My son made his first friendships here. He continues seeing his preschool friends at church. It's nice to be part of the community. The preschool teachers are well experienced in special needs and have understanding, and can provide support.”

“We cannot fault anything about this nursery. The members of staff are wonderful and have really gotten to know our little boy. They communicate with us every evening at pick up and tell us everything about his day, what they've done, what he has eaten, how much he has slept, his mood and his progress. We cannot believe how much he has come on since joining this nursery in September after stalling in his development at another place. The food offered is varied and my little boys eating has really improved too. The facilities are great and the children spend lots of time outside and even have PE classes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!”

“Amazing pre school! Couldn’t ask for better! My son was 2 and suffered with bad anxiety after 2 failed schools previously, two weeks into huntingfield my son walked in happily! My daughter also loves it here! Elaine & all the teachers are amazing and so hard working. They cater to every child’s need!”

“Wonderful breakfast and after school club Attentive staff and great management.”

“i love it because it is my school”

“I go to Margaret roper and it is the best”

“This is the second nursery we have tried in this area. It is far and away the best. The teachers are dedicated professionals (most are also Montessori trained in addition to EYFS training) who are obviously enjoying their work with children, and who are committed to Lemon Tree in the long term. In other words, unlike the other nursery we tried which had huge problems with staff turnover, the teachers at Lemon Tree know us, we know all of them, and most importantly they and the children know each other. Every week my partner and I talk about how relieved we are that our son is at Lemon Tree, and how confident we feel in the care and attention he is receiving there. They also have an enormous outdoor play area with real grass and trees, not just a carpark covered in astroturf. The children are given many opportunities for outside play and they integrate natural learning with their Montessori curriculum. I would recommend this place without qualification.”
