    “A huge thank you to AMA for the fantastic job they did organising the recent trip to Thorpe Park. From start to finish, everything was spot on. The logistics were incredibly smooth, transport was punctual, communication was clear throughout the trip including leaving and arriving times. Every aspect of the day seemed carefully planned. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into ensuring the children had a memorable experience while also staying safe and well looked after. On seeing the amount of coaches arriving, this was a big scale trip, which couldn't have been easy to organise. My daughter had an absolutely brilliant time. She managed to sit on around 15 rides! She came home full of excitement, chatting about the rides, the friends she spent time with, and how well the group was managed. It’s not easy coordinating a trip of that scale, but AMA did it with professionalism, care, and heart. Jazakallahu Khayra to the AMA team who organised the trip. We’re truly grateful for the experience my daughter had.”

    “"I recently completed all of my electrical qualifications at Cranbrook College, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. Teachers were highly knowledgeable, supportive, and brought real industry experience into the classroom, which made the learning practical and engaging. The facilities were excellent, with well-equipped workshops that allowed me to gain plenty of hands-on experience alongside the theory. The course structure was clear and well-paced, ensuring I built strong foundations before progressing to more advanced topics. What stood out most was the level of support and guidance I received throughout my journey—from enrolment to completing my final qualification. The staff were approachable and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Thanks to [Cranbrook College, I now feel fully prepared and confident to take on my career as a qualified electrician in the UK. I would highly recommend this college to anyone looking to pursue a career in the electrical industry."”

He makes the class fun, breaks down the moves and really puts his heart and soul into the sessions with an added touch of humour. The classes are interactive and fun. The routines and songs are changed regularly, to challenge and keep us on our toes (literally) !! Bittu always makes time to go over the basic steps each lesson, and will throw in advanced moves to enable us to realise how much more there is to Bhangra. Look forward to the end of year performance. If you are thinking of joining, don’t think just join !!”

    “Great club and atmosphere. I’ve been to many clubs where I felt uncomfortable. By that I mean not really welcoming, unfriendly people, too much egos etc. Also when I’ve tried other clubs, the teaching was all over the place and don’t really follow any real structure or program. I found the classes at the Khalid Ismail Academy to be very structured and well taught. Very friendly members who are very willing to help and encourage you. For me it’s the best club I’ve trained at. I would highly recommend the club for all ages. Khalid has years of experience in MMA which you can see with the teaching and his portfolio of people he has trained and coached.”

Most definitely helped me to come out of my shel. It was the beginning of life changing experience. We all go through different traumas in life, many times and staying with sumeet felt like the only place where I can be myself without any judgement. "Be a terrible dancer or great dancer, with no or many medical conditions, religouse or non-religouse- sumeets dance place is most definitely a supported feel good place" I have also made some lifelong good friends form the group where we meet up outside the classes too.

    “We are so grateful for the care and kindness our daughter received at kGems After a difficult experience at a previous nursery , we were naturally anxious about how she would adjust—but from the very beginning, the staff were incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding of her needs. They respected her pace, never rushed her, and made sure she felt safe and secure every day. The environment was warm and welcoming, and the team created a space where our daughter could slowly regain her confidence and joy. We especially appreciated how they listened to our concerns and followed our requests closely—whether it was around toilet training, eating, or emotional comfort. She came home with little smiles, new songs, and stories to share—clear signs that she was growing more comfortable, happy, and curious. The staff truly took the time to get to know her and build a connection. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to support her during this important time in her life. Thank you to everyone at kGems for the love, patience, and support you gave our little girl. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and thoughtful environment.”

    “I have learnt karate since the age of 7 and honestly have no regrets. Wanting to learn martial arts at a young age every dojo I had attended was uninviting and singled out. But onset of joining HIKA I had felt as thought I had joined a community and family of all ages with a zero ego. Alongside the self defence aspect the learning of skills such as leadership, confidence and discipline are all aspect you can take away from karate to other sectors helping you excel further. This has worked for me personally hence my recommendation. Rather than a martial arts centre it is home. To be around like minded people is a blessing every day and a get away from the stresses in life. This is all thanks to the senseis and their teaching and capabilities to welcome us like their family and give us guidance.”

    “I’m absolutely happy with this nursery. My first daughter attended there already and I was through out so happy that my youngest is attending now as well since 1 1/2 years. She was very shy as she started. If I would go out with her to the playground for example she would not play anywhere where other children were queuing because she was so shy, she preferred playing all by herself, since she is attending sunflower nursery she is outgoing, she is very social and made many friends. The stuff is lovely, they are so very committed and absolutely love what they are doing. They have always a open ear for any concerns or questions and are always doing their very best to help. They learning with the children in a fun environment and about many different topics, sometimes a new topic comes out of interest the children have shown in a conversation. Now my daughter did not just learn the usual like letters and numbers and seasons, they learned about space, people who help and many things more. I love that my daughter at her young age has already a wide spectrum of knowledge and sunflower nursery deserve a big praise for this. They do a extraordinary job and I would always choose them again.”

    “6 years ago, we started to look for nurseries for our first born near where we lived (quite far from Adventures) and really didn't get that same impression as when we stepped foot in Adventures Day Nursery for our first visit. Throughout the past 6 years, we've been fortunate enough to have the dedicated team look after both our sons and the love & affection shown is above anything we've seen at any nursery. I’ve found it’s been worth those long drop offs in the morning and those times I'd need to have my laptop with me to start work. It's clear Kim has taken her love of this work and spent time hiring staff who share that same passion to create this unique environment. This become particularly important when our 2nd child was diagnosed with a range of allergies, and it meant we were even more cautious around nursery care. However, the Adventures Team were able to accommodate and have made him feel very included in all activities. Sadly we're now coming to end of this journey, we can't help but recommend Kim & the wider team.”
