“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“My daughter has the best time with Jenny at Parsley Pie, she looks forward to every class and comes home filled with inspiration and her many completed projects.”

“Went to see STUART MICHAEL. Would definitely recommend! It was my first ever show of this kind. It was packed out! Would suggest getting there at least half hour before any show starts to get a carpark space behind the theatre.”

“My son Oliver has been attending Aura music Academy for several years now learning to play drum (acoustic). He attended a couple of different taster sessions so he could decide where he wanted to learn and chose Aura. He has had a few different tutors along the way but has connected well with them which is important for him to engage fully. Regular updates on the school and lesson notes shared so we can see how he continues to progress.”

“Absolutely wonderful place and I was also hugely impressed with the standard of acting in the play we went to see (Blythe Spirit)”

“Great welcome from members, who share a similar interest in quality film making.”

“Would highly recommend Happy Kids! All three of my children have attended here and we have been so happy with it. The staff are absolutely wonderful, professional, approachable, caring and understanding. My children have flourished here and it has prepared them for school.”

“Wonderful place and people who go there”

“Can’t compliment June Rendell enough. My daughter has attended classes for over 7 years now and continues to receive the best advice , support and opportunities to do what she loves doing. She has made so many friends and loves her JRADA family ❤️”

“Absolutey hated school couldn't wait to leave. But wish i would of behaved and done well in my exams and got a good job my name was shirley heath.”

“Our kitten Louie has stayed here twice now with a third time booked in. The owner Heidi is so lovely, kind and incredibly accommodating and takes such good care of all the animals! The pens are very spacious and have lots of toys to keep them entertained. We know he’s in safe hands and honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!”

“My son really enjoyed visiting here. He played with the big variety of toys and activities. The staff were great and attentive, it was also very clean. Food and drink was great and we will definitely be back on a regular occurrence.”

“Wonderful place. My kid goes to chess class here. The teachers are wonderful.”

“Great experience! Ordered online a bouquet for my friend's mother and the flowers looked exceptional! Thank you very much to the entire team. Strongly recommend”

“This is one of our local go-to places and it kept us sane throughout the autumn and spring lockdowns. Great coffee and friendly service, top tunes and now toasties and also booze! What's not to like? The seating is outdoors but some of it is covered and they have blankets for when it's cold. Top marks!”

“Had a lovely experience at the village cafe today, was greeted by the lovely waitress ella who seated us immediately alll the staff were so lovely and there was no wait with our food, which tasted absolutely amazing i ordered the Breakfast wrap which was absolutely delicious and the smoothie was so yummy. So impressed with the team here!”

“Originally my partner and I called in for a ‘nosey’ as we love mid century/ Scandi design. What a great find…Tons of great stuff, vintage and new a real super stylish mix. Recently after our new sofa failed we remembered a handsome locally made sofa being displayed at Lot 54 and returned to obtain more info. Daisy was brilliant and discussed a myriad of details over a cuppa - loads of fabric samples offered - a very nice service indeed. We also bought a super chic throw which had a great discount so a total win win. Next time we’ll probably will start our furnishing adventures in this spot. Thank you”

“Our son started willow tree in October 2021 and has just graduated this week. From start to finish his time at willow tree has been so easy for us we have never had any worries about him there, its a fun, playful, nurturing and educational environment, from digging worms with eco warriors to learning sports and dance every week. The girls go above and beyond to make every child (and parents) feel so welcome. Everyday they will follow the childrens interest and allow them to pursue them further, such as our son loved Space and learnt lots of new facts from a day in Willow tree coming home with crafts that he chose to do. They are wonderful in every way and we are sad that our son’s time has come to an end at willow tree but they have made sure he is more than ready for reception. I would and will be doing recommending Willow tree pre school to anyone looking for an outstanding preschool.”

“My sister used Homelands for her children and when our first came along my wife visited and was really impressed with it so we signed up. I cannot speak highly enough of this place; it has been a wonderful experience for our 1st, 2nd and 3rd child. Obviously all the child development stuff is a key metric and they have all progressed brilliantly during their time there, but for me it is secondary to the loving environment that is so very evident at Homelands. There are so many nice staff there, and even more that have passed through at times; they have a knack for selecting dedicated, caring and professional people. There is core leadership team that have been there throughout our children's time there that I have found very re-assuring, and I will be sad when our youngest leaves because I see them as sort of an extended family! With Homelands your children will be safe and loving hands. ***From Jan 2020 you can drop off at 730 as well (rather than 8)***”

“Hightly recommend this nursery. My son went from half day to full day, there are different activities plannned every day, also teaching wording, writing, phonics and encourage reading. He is very happy study here with caring and attentive teacher”

“It's amazingly good I would definitely go there because it is the best”

“My daughter has been going to little voices for a few months now and she absolutely loves it, her concentration is noticeably improved and she cant wait to go back every week”
