Supportive learning environment in Uxbridge

“My son has been attending MonkeyPuzzle since he was 1 year old and since the first day every single person who works / worked at the nursery has been absolutely fantastic. Being a mother of a trilingual child, I find it important that he is encouraged to speak his secondary languages. Many teachers speak multiple languages and they have always been doing their best to support us in our attempts to improve my son's language skills. There is something amazing I could say about each and every member of the team but my son's love for all of the staff is the best feedback. The fact that he is always excited to go to nursery speaks louder than any words. Despite being rated "good" by ofsted, the truth is that this nursery is OUTSTANDING. I'm grateful to the MonkeyPuzzle team for taking such great care of my son and for all their hard work to make the nursery such a wonderful family-like place. Keep doing what you're doing and don't change.”

“It is one of the best nursery in Uxbridge. All the members are very supportive,friendly and very attentive . Both kids love going here. They are very happy and have excelled.”

“Great friendly people clean children love it.”

“My experience has been really great since joining the Central Uxbridge Surgery. The doctors and the team have been so helpful. Christina, in particular, has been such a friendly face and has always been so welcoming and easy to talk to. She has always listened and taken on any concerns or queries I have had and has always tried her best to find a resolve. She’s a gem and a real asset to the team! Dr. A Abas has been an incredible GP, he was the first doctor I had seen since joining the surgery and his calm, polite and warm nature really helped me feel at ease. He was also very thorough and proactive in his assistance to getting my medical issues checked and diagnosed. He was great at explaining all the information and was very friendly and helpful.”

“Both of my children attend Stepping Stones Nursery in Hillingdon and absolutely love it. The staff are warm, caring, and really dedicated. My kids are learning so much and always come home happy. We get regular updates through the app and during parents’ meetings, which helps us stay involved. Highly recommend!”

“I can't thank more Tony and Henry who treated my back pain. I lost my sleep for so many days due to my back issue. They have diagonsed the issue correctly and gave me the treatment. Tony and Henry both are very knowledgable and very patiently listen to my complaints. They have explained me about the root casue of the issue and about the treatment very well. I really got my sleep back from the second week of my treatment (physio massages & stretches). I couldn't have got my sleep and normal walk back without their treatments. They are very friendly and flexible with the appointments. Highly recommended. Much appreciated.”

“My daughter loves going to this nursery. They always welcome her with the biggest smile and make her feel special every time. My daughter has learnt so much since being there for the last year or so. She has become more confident and her breath of vocabulary has most definitely widened because of their teaching. When she comes home she is always repeating songs they sing during circle time. I would highly recommend this nursery as not only do they support the child to progress but also give really good advice to parents regarding potty training etc. Whenever I pick my daughter up I love how nicely the children play together and enjoys playing with her friends.”

“Great school! The teachers are incredible, very creative competent and knowledgeable! The administrators are very polite and helpful.From my first day till the last I’ve received the full attention and support of the school staff. This is the best school for studying English and preparing for IELTS. I would highly recommend all my friends to join the school. I want to say thank you to Monika, Mark,Liberty, Jamie Harmi and Rebecca - my beloved teachers. Thank you, you’re absolutely brilliant! I hope see you soon! ♥️”

“Lovely venue for any occasion. I go there Linedanceing great fun fir all ages.”

“An excellent school with a truly dedicated and talented group of teachers led by the outstanding headteacher Catherine Veale. This really is a school which continues to impress with its inspired and motivating learning skills. Highly recommended.”

“I initially moved my son from his first nursery (Monkey Puzzle in Uxbridge) as he just didnt enjoy going in and due to his speech delay he was unable to communicate his feelings but there were worries that he was being mistreated in that nursery as he would repeat phrases in a shouty manner that we would never use at home (why are you crying I'm here??? Be quiet! Go sit down now!) After deciding to move him to another nursery I attended Busy bees in person and shared my concerns with the assistant manager Sian who was at the main reception that particular day. She reassured me and arranged a tour of the nursery a few days later where myself, my husband and son were able to have a look around and we had a a lovely chat with Lauren in the preschool room about how a typical day in the nursery would be and how they monitor each childs progress again the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. After our visit our son was instantly warmed by the happy playful environment. He surprisingly settled within a week of attending. His speech, interaction and communication has all really come through as well as his attention. He has honestly been thriving here and although I'm sad he will be leaving the nursery to start school in September - I am ever so grateful for the staff especially Tammy for shaping up his academic journey from here ahead.”

“Better than expected! I recently completed my Business Analysis Program. The highlight of the program was certainly the internship. Learning something and then getting the opportunity to actually work on a project was a lot more learning. I really enjoyed the program and look forward to starting my career.”

“I am a 'mature' student who joined West London School of Guitar 3 years ago as a total beginner with a battered second hand electric guitar and no real idea of what I wanted to achieve. In that time, I've gone from learning simple chord progressions and melodies to playing classical pieces, learning a range of different and challenging techniques, sight reading and music theory and regular improvisation classes with other students (and acquiring a couple of new guitars en route!). We're also encouraged and given guidance to set ourselves goals on a regular basis and we work together to make these goals a reality. WLSoG wants all the students to be the best guitarists they can possibly be with an understanding of musical concepts as well as techniques. No stone is left un-turned on this route and students make great progress in a positive and friendly teaching environment. This is the best thing I've done in ages. I've grown in confidence as a guitar player and as a person - I can't recommend these classes highly enough.”

“I have two children at this school, one in Yr. 2 and the other just started Reception having attended the Nursery. Both of them throughly enjoy attending and learning in this environment and it constantly amazes me just how varied their knowledge has become. From day one (2years ago) when there were only 43 4 year olds, to this day of over 250 pupils, there has been a consistent and tenacious focus on delivering the best learning for all of its pupils. The leadership team are warm and welcoming, making themselves highly visible at the school gate and always willing to listen to parents' views or offer advice. They have set out a strong set of values and life skills which are positively reinforced across the school in a consistent way from class teacher to whole assembly. For some of these traits the children are asked to behave like a particular ' Learnasaur ' character such as the Tryasaurus who is always willing to try new things or a Sharadactyl who shares their learning resources. Both my kids have really engaged with this type of encouragement and it is commonplace to hear us talking about them at home. All the staff that have been recruited display a huge passion for delivering the best experience for the children, whether they're dinner ladies, site managers or have office roles. The teaching staff are great and display the same understated professionalism day in day out, they have embraced the opportunity this new school presents and are working well together to deliver a first class education. Mr Butler's musical influences have shown themselves many times over the last couple of years during assemblies and Nativity plays. My personal highlight was last years Year 1 performance which involved the whole year group, lasted over 40 mins and was incredible to watch, it was hard to believe we were watching 6 year olds as the performance level and engagement across the whole group was so strong and mature. Other highlights from last year included the children asking Boris Johnson some tough questions when he visited the school and the Pupils performing their 'Big Dance' at the summer fayre.”

“My son went to Jigsaw nursery in Hatch end and he was very well looked after by Larissa, his key worker, and was more than ready for primary school when he left. Minal was also wonderful as she went above and beyond when she taught my son phonics, reading and counting - she was brilliant. The pastoral care at the nursery was outstanding due to the all the staff and the management team run by Susan. Highly recommend.”

I am very impressed with the professionalism, attention, and warmth that the staff at CMC consistently provide. And I recommend the nursery and early childcare at CMC for any mum who wants exceptional services.”

“Lived there for 4 months and enjoyed each bit of my time there. Ideally located hall, just a few walking steps away from grocery shops, pizza and kebab shops and bus stops leading to Uxbridge high street and Heathrow airport. The rooms inside the hall are pretty spacious and well equipped with a modern looking kitchen that includes cabinets, oven and electric stoves.”

“My daughter loves it, everyone is very kind and helpful”

“Miss McNeil was head mistress when I was at the Ickenham Swakeleys. A brilliant women, everything I achieved I owe to her. Very far sighted & progressive. Mrs Clap was my art teacher. Happy days.”

“Brilliant school with excellent teaching staff.”

“I attended here, 1948 to 53, in the playground where the toilets, which just sat on an open sesspit, I imagine, things have change, the school, was a great first start for me, red jacket and cap, marching into church, every morning, milk monitor, rug making, recorder classes, the teacher had a funny eye, mayday party, loved it.”

“The Appletree team nurtured and moulded our little girl from the age of 1 until she was ready to begin school. From the day she joined we noticed her development going from strength to strength and soon noticed improvements in her vocabulary and motor skills. Our daughter created a bond with the staff which was nurtured as she progressed through baby room into toddler room where the team helped her with her independence. The Appletree setting has a real homely feel whilst maintaining a professional approach which gave my wife and I reassurance in knowing our little girl was safe and well cared for. Thank you to the whole Appletree team for taking such great care of our daughter we know she is the growing into wonderful young lady in no small part thanks to you.”
