The 30 Best School in Nottingham

“The Attic Theatre School in Nottingham has been a game-changer for my children. Enrolling them in various classes here has not only ignited their passion for the performing arts but has also been instrumental in boosting their confidence and self-esteem. The supportive and nurturing environment created by the dedicated school has allowed my kids to explore their talents freely. The range of classes offered, from acting to stagecraft, ensures a comprehensive theatrical education. What truly sets this school apart is the personalized attention given to each student. Amanda and all other teachers in Attic not only focus on skill development but also prioritize emotional growth, creating an inclusive and encouraging atmosphere. Attic Theatre School isn't just about honing acting abilities; it's a place where kids grow, learn, and form lasting friendships. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their children can thrive, both on and off the stage.”

“I completed the Level 3 Sports Massage Therapy Diploma earlier this year. The course tutor Luke was very knowledgable and clearly knew, and demonstrated, this throughout the course. The length and pace was suitable for everyone one the course (everyone passed). We had people on the course coming from a sporting background, massage background, and people who wanted to have a complete change who had never studied physiology or anatomy. The continued support following completion is great too, via facebook group and also discounted rates for future courses. I very much recommend Sports Massage Academy as a training provider and have already booked onto a future cpd course and intend to complete the Level 4 in 2021.”

“My daughter has been attending Tracy Quaife for over 8 years, she is so happy here and has learnt so much. Tracy is excellent with the children and very professional. The shows they put on are wonderful! This is an excellent dance school with lots of opportunities.”

“I have gone to a few different acting classes around the area and this is the one I’ve chosen to stick with. At other places I was given a script from a scene to have a go at, and that was about it. Tim actually teaches the craft of acting, he teaches the techniques that are taught in the top drama schools and used by professional actors. Thanks for providing these amazing classes for such a reasonable price Tim!”

“Could not recommend more - we took the Introduction to Silver Smithing workshop with Alys a week or so ago and I have been wearing the rings I made every day since! :) It is truly an introductory course, so even if - like me - me you have never worked with silver or metals in general before, I guarantee you will be able to make something cool to show off to your friends and family ;) And you'll have so much fun too! Alys did a amazing job of explaining the basics of working with silver, made sure to help everyone with their individual projects, and created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere all around. Thank you so much!”

“We had a wonderful time at the workshop. I attended with my friend as a gift for her 30th birthday. I was travelling from Australia and met my friend from the UK. They remained so flexible for us even when trains were cancelled. We practised on bronze rings before moving on to silver. The attention to detail and one-on-one learning made it a great workshop, we learnt lots and would definitely come back again. Thank you!!”

“My daughter has been part of Affinity for over 3 years and continues to love dancing here. There is so much care & attention, passion and effort from all of the Affinity team - it truly is a great dance school. Thank you for all that you do!”

“My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time at this dance school. She has been to other dance schools, but this stands out for me and my daughter in more ways than one. The staff are so friendly, knowledgable and very approachable. They know when to push, but in the best way and when to make it fun. This I feel has bought the best out in my daughter. She loves to go to dance class, learn new skills, compete in dance shows and meet new friends.”

“I'm really happy with salsa tutoring school. My son has passed his Sat's with good results. The support from salsa has really helped him pass with excellent results. Would definitely recommend to others The staff are very friendly and my son really enjoys going to all sessions.”

“Great place to learn dance. Good floor and bar. A bit old style especially chairs and toilet. Very, very hot. Fans are giving so much wind and not cooling. However so much better than our place before!”

“Wonderful language school, I've enrolled in a few Spanish courses here as a beginner and staff have been very helpful and engaged”

“Can't fault the food or service. The pricing is significantly lower than some of the other venues in the surrounding villages. £23 for a Cheddar Ploughman's platter, Chilli & Rice, and two teas. I feel this would be pushing £30 elsewhere. It's all good.”

“We moved our daughter from another nursery to Stepping Stones just after her first birthday. Tomorrow she starts reception at the local primary school, so it's a big milestone for all of us! From the moment we first visited this family-run nursery, we knew our daughter would be taken care of and she settled very quickly. The staff work incredibly hard and are invested in the children's wellbeing and development. Her language skills and social confidence have come on leaps and bounds. Every milestone has been handled with care and attentiveness, the team were always there to offer additional support and advice, addressing any worries we had as first time parents (also from the 'lockdown' era!). Our daughter has absolutely loved engaging with trips to the local parks, visits from the emergency services, and regular yoga classes. The meals are of a very high standard, security and communication are always very consistent. A brilliant nursery, highly recommended.”

“Nice place to sit and have coffee. A little "darker" than the likes of Starbucks and Costa in terms of decor, but definitely a .ore casual and relaxed environment. Flat white was tasty, and,.bonus, you take a number and then bring your drinks to the table.”

“Cool little venue, great staff, clean toilets and a bar with cold beers... what more vould you ask for!”

“Advantage martial arts are amazing. My son as been with them for 10 years. They work hard with the children and adults I could not recommend them enough. my son really enjoys it and the work that Scott and the team have done had made my son achieve his goals. If you’re looking on taking up kickboxing this is the place for you or your children. They welcome you in and make you feel comfortable.”

“I am a student of Clive's and he is a fabulous teacher. I look forward to seeing him every week. Definitely recommend him as a music theory, piano and trumpet teacher.”

“An amazing school where learners can enjoy everyday life. Staff are polite and make the school an nice to be in for the students.”

“Millfield has been the answer to our childcare wishes for over 3 years! Our daughter absolutely loves everything about it, especially the staff - they're like an extension to our family! The love, care and attention that has been shown to our family is outstanding! The environment is clean and organised with lots of toys, creative and imaginative space. Outside is huge and children can have some freedom whilst under watchful eyes! I've travelled from Bingham daily and have never had a problem travelling by car or parking. I have no regrets choosing Millfield to care for our little one!”

“Great gym with excellent facilities and a very welcoming atmosphere. The equipment is modern and well maintained, and there’s plenty of space even during busier times. The staff is friendly and always happy to help. I especially appreciate the cleanliness and high-quality environment. It feels like a place focused on wellbeing, not just workouts.”

“My 2 boys (age 8 and11) have just been to footlights nottingham summer theatre school. They really enjoyed it, had a great time, were well looked after and learned a lot. Thank you Sofia and team!”

“amazing pre school my little boy loved it here warm friendly atmosphere with great play workers”

“Think For The Future Tots is fantastic. My kid loves going and always has a great time. The staff are brilliant and attentive and the range of activities for the little ones is fantastic. Communication is great such that I always know how they're getting on. Would highly recommend.”

“Our eldest son went to Coteswood House School five years ago, our daughter is there currently and our youngest son is starting full time this coming September. It's a fantastic little school, in a great setting with lovely teachers. Our experiences have always been positive. I'm happy to have been able to play a part in saving Coteswood House from closure in April 2014 along with all the other parents, ex-pupils and staff that have rallied to save this little gem in the local community.”

“My children have been part of Poplars Nursery School since 2012 and they have benefitted enormously from the ethos of the nursery, the smaller, home-like setting, and the care and attention of the staff. The staff know the children very well, and appreciate their personalities and where they are at in their development. They track their development in conjunction with parents with books which include plenty of photos so you can see what they have been up to. They do lots of fun activities, which are well thought through and promote their self-confidence and independence, In fact, a lot of thought goes in to their processes and activities and it's clear that the children enjoy being in this environment. My children have particularly enjoyed the visits from White Post farm, the annual nursery outings, the occasional outings to local sites and annual productions where they get to perform to all the parents and show them what they have been doing throughout the year. We have been delighted by the care and nuture this nursery has given all our children - thank you Poplars!”

“Couldn’t ask for anymore from an early years setting. The outdoor space they have is a huge! The children are outside all year round, they really make use of the space they have. My son and daughter both attended here from age two and their excitement to run through the doors everyday speaks volumes. They offer breakfast club and after school club. The events they put on throughout the year are not to be missed. Their staff are all highly trained alongside being the most caring staff members I have come across in a setting. A setting for SEN children too. They have gone above and beyond to make sure my son has had the best start in his learning journey. Recognising things early on and being proactive with putting things in place for him. Their open door policy means parents/carers can pop along to speak to them anytime and they really do listen and offer advice. I am so happy I found this pre school. My son will miss them so much. I am excited for my daughter to carry on her learning journey here as she has already made huge progress in a such short space of time.”

“Great pre school. My daughter loves going there. All the staff are lovely”
