Jess did my first tattoo, a lovely memorial piece for me last year, and myself and family members have been to visit her since. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The studio is quirky and clean. The other ladies, Abbi and Cat, are lovely and I always have a laugh during my time in the studio.”

“Just wanted to pass on some positive feedback. My daughter came for her first swimming lesson six weeks ago and got very upset about being in the water. Alex and Teagan have been absolutely fantastic at building up her confidence. They’ve shown such kindness and patience over the last six weeks and I’m so grateful. I’ve spoken to a friend whose daughter has swimming lessons elsewhere and she can’t believe the difference in the quality of lessons that we get from Aqua Seals.”

Staff were as nice and friendly. A few sound difficulties, but the actors were able to broadcast their voices around.”

“Large rooms with power points. The furniture is of a good standard and the kitchen is a very good standard. The cafe area near the kitchen has lovely circular tables that we covered in pretty tablecloths with artificial flowers on each table, each table could easily sit six. There is a creche area for younger children, clean toilets near the entrance way. A security system to gain access to the building that requires a code, so you can keep your younger children safe from wondering outside unattended. And let only your party in when you have hire of the hall. Large car park as well”

“I just wanted to share that I really appreciate the calm, welcoming atmosphere at Life Leisure Cheadle. In the past, I found it hard to stick to a routine at high-intensity gyms, but here I feel comfortable, safe, and motivated to attend regularly. Thank you for creating an environment that supports consistency and mindful movement, it really makes a difference!”

“I have been coming to DBBA with my son for almost 6 months and we are very happy. My son has been picked up on at school because of his size and his self-esteem was very affected. Wayne is a great teacher and role model, he teaches children discipline and rules of good sportsmanship. He is strict but fair. His classes can be sometimes challenging but he always tries to make them fun and enjoyable for children. It is great to watch my son and all children who come on regular basis improving. I have definitely seen an improvement in his confidence which has been noticed at school as well. He enjoys grading sessions (happening every 2-3 months) when he can achieve a different belt and listen to a feedback on his progress. Soby is as well always very friendly and helpful. She always explains everything about payments and fees in advance and all dealings are transparent. However, if your child has challenges with discipline, good behavior and manners, they may struggle.”
