Supporting childrens development in Welling

“Rest assured parking is available free of charge to users and their guests of St Michaels Community Centre. The conditions being as clearly sign posted in the car park that the vehicle registration details are entered into the tablet located in the main and small hall granting them free parking for the day. The reviewer below who paints a false slanderous picture fails to mention that she herself did correctly input her registration details into the tablet on arrival at the venue so clearly was very aware. Cctv evidence and central ANPR mainframe system confirms this as fact. She clearly failed to remind her guests who failed to read the signs which culminated in the parking management issuing tickets to her guests and thus - she now attempts to portion blame elsewhere.”

“This centre is old heritage building.”

“It was my primary school many years ago, before all the extensions were built around it. Headteacher was Mr Hook.”

“I love his school I miss it soooo much I didn't get to say bye either”

“As a new student of Little Ilford School, I believe that a specific individual called Ms Karim has made things easier for me. This was due to the numerous times I came to her for help in which she was willing to help me. Ms karim is an amazing teacher and I find it extremely appauling that someone could speak so negatively towards her. Little Ilford School has helped me improve in all subjects but particularly Citizenship. Thanks to Ms Karim.”

“My daughter goes to this school and she loves it . Teachers are very helpful, every thing is very good at school. Definitely going to recommend this school.”

“We were having concerns about my sons conversational skills when he joined nursery one year ago, Nursery staff is so experienced and equipped with tips and tricks to improve the conversation of preschoolers, He picked up quickly with all the support from Nursery staff, that after one year he is constant chatter box now, Newton farm preschool nursery according to me is one of the best preschools in the area.”

“This was my old school 1964 - 1971 the boys play ground was on the left at the end of the long drive and girls and juniors to the left my wost teachers were from class 7 -9 but at class 10 Mr Williams was my best teacher this school had its mini swimming pool to the rear of the dinning area in the boys playground and still had bomb shelters Beside the play ground happy memories”

“At was my school last year at I miss all my best teaches Karim”

“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.”

“Loved it absolutely great fun and lovely staff and volunteers ❤️”

“This centre was and continues to be fantastic support for our family. I was saddened to hear that the services were reduced to to cuts :( Staff are fantastic and v knowledgeable.”

“The most wonderful nursery setting. My daughter has absolutely thrived there and the staff are all marvellous. Couldn’t ask for better. 10/10”

““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.

“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.”

“İ love this nursery, my son started to go this September and they are so friendly”

“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.”

“Cannot recommend oranges and lemons highly enough.The staff are so welcoming and easy to talk to, a nice atmosphere in the nursery. The hall is set up well and not too overwhelming or loud. They also have a big outside play area with plenty of toys.”

“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 ❤️”

“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).”

“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.”
