The 30 Best Sport & School & Kindergarten in Nottingham

“Kumon is the best Maths and English program to help children make their foundation strong enough for secondary school. My son has been attending the muster road Kumon branch since 2019 and he has made a lot of progress since then. Naheed pays attention to each and every child and gives honest feedback about their progress. She guides you and is happy to help in every which way possible to support your child. I am happy that I chose Kumon West Bridgford for my son.”

“Having attended Hayley's wonderful classes with my son, one of the first things I did when my daughter was born was to book onto baby classes with her! As well as providing engaging classes that my babies and I have thoroughly enjoyed, what sets Hayley apart is the effort she puts in to creating a parent community. She encourages groups to connect through the class WhatsApp and through socialising together after class, and as a result we have made wonderful friendships that have truly enhanced the parenting journey with both children. I'd recommend Hayley's classes unreservedly - it's the only one that is for the parent as much as the baby.”

“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!!”

“Lucy did my wedding celebration makeup after showing her a photo of what I was looking for. Absolutely fantastic. Can't thank you enough. My makeup lasted all evening and everyone was asking who did it for me.”

“The study centre is great, really helps to solidify the foundations of both maths and English, which helped a lot later on when I did my GCSEs as my basics were well-covered. Also, Bilquees makes sure to pay attention to each student and guides and supports them accordingly. My younger sister is now attending and now is able to work ahead of her age.”

“My son has been with Flying High for 5 years now. He loves it and has made some great friends there! The yearly drama showcase at The Bonnington theatre is an amazing experience for all the groups to perform on a stage.”

“Can't recommend the pony morning enough! It was perfect for kids who haven't been around horses before. Great that they got to learn about grooming and tack and bond with the ponies before they rode them. Great fun, educational and very reasonable!!”

“Very professional & always busy. They explain things well & are thorough in their practice. There is no hard sell & their prices are good compared with some I have paid. Everyone is friendly. I have definitely made progress in my recovery since being treated here, & definitely walk a lot straighter & taller. The treatments are not harsh & care is taken to ensure you are comfortable.”

“Great place to learn dance and grow . Very good instructor full of passion . Very helpful and patient . He spreads a very nice and positive atmosphere around .”

“My daughters love going to the dance studio and have increased the number of classes they attend and even want to add more to their schedules. This is thanks to Miss Nic and the team who are friendly and supportive. The teachers are professional, talented and clearly dedicated to giving children a solid dance foundation as well as giving an opportunity to perform in theatres and to take exams. This has increased my daughter’s confidence and resilience. I highly recommend Rhythm Nation Studios!”

“Stayed here with my university on a trip from the States. Beautiful building and landscape. Staff are all excellent.”

“Couldn’t recommend Dance Fusion enough! I attend the advanced adult tap class and find that it is exactly the right level of challenge for me, having danced throughout my childhood and teen years - accessible for my level of ability, challenging enough to keep my brain working - a great way to switch off from everything else. I have met new people, found a fun way to keep fit and grown in confidence. All of the teachers at DF are skilled, talented and supportive.”

“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.”

“When I first started lessons with Amanda I had very little acting experience. It’s something I always had wanted to try and was extremely nervous. However Amanda’s teaching style put my nerves at ease so I could enjoy the lesson as much as possible. I’ve been coming for about a year and a half and I look forward to each workshop. It’s a safe place where your allowed to experiment and try new things without being judged by anyone. I feel like I have grown so much over the past year and half thanks to Amanda as she knows how’s to push people and help them improve. I definitely recommend The Acting Studio to anyone of any ability who has any interest in acting.”

“Tuckwell & Co is a wonderful salon, their staff are all amazing and they also serve the best coffee along with other drinks, the choice is endless. I am so pleased with My hair today by Apprentice Hannah. Hannah has made my visit today a great experience, the results look fantastic. My hair looks, smells and feels amazing, thank you so much Hannah”

“I went here for a Seed Talks event. It was a great night full of engaging content by Lindsey Dukes. The venue was comfortable and a good size to be able to hear from the upper seating area.”

“Fantastic team at Divemaster. Always welcoming and happy to help, it's great to be part of such a supportive diving family.”

“A real positive force for the Muslims of Nottingham and the UK generally, as well as British society. Thank you.”

“My daughter joined Core Aquatics in September 2020 and I can honestly say, it's amazing and fantastic swimming school. My daughter is severely autistic, practically non verbal and has very restricted social communication skills but despite all of that Nicole and swimming teachers found unique way to teach and show the joys of swimming. From a child who was terrified to get inside a swimming pool she now enjoys her lessons, she can swim independently on her front, back (which she hated for long time), she even can dive underneath the water. Core Aquatics is one of the best things that happened in my daughters life, it's absolutely brilliant. Olga”

“University Park Campus at the University of Nottingham is stunning — its beautiful lake and thriving natural habitat make it a peaceful and inspiring place to explore.”

“The Dance Studios is an amazing dance school for all ages! We’ve been part of the TDS family for about 7 years and my daughter has loved every minute of it. The dance teachers are so dedicated and encourage a love of dance regardless of ability. Everyone has the opportunity to perform either in dance shows or competitively in dance festivals as well as the opportunity to achieve dance qualifications through graded exams. The children make strong friendships, bonded by the love of dance and parents make friendships too! It can be daunting to start anything new but from the moment we arrived, both my daughter and myself, we have been warmly welcomed and included. I can’t recommend The Dance Studios enough, my daughter has flourished in all areas in and outside of dance, I know that we have TDS to thank for her new found confidence.”

“Marcia Jonea academy hosted my daughters 7th birthday party. She had a fabulous time, as did her friends. Their skills at coordinating a large group of children are immense! They all really enjoyed themselves. Katie and her helper were great. Thank you so much!!”

“My 3 year old has been going since he was 11 months and I now send my 1 year old as well. I would always recommend this nursery, the staff are amazing both my children come home happy, cared for and my oldest always talks about the amazing things he has done. The reason I chose this nursery is it felt like a home not a just a boring building to place a child, it is so cared for and looked after. The range of activities my children have both done has supported their development and they learn so much every day. It makes me so happy as a parent who has to go to work to leave them somewhere I know the staff care and look after them so well. Every single one of the workers and owners have always been so supportive, they are amazing”

“We were recommended St Nicholas Day Nursery by a number of people on our estate. When contacting multiple nurseries, St Nicholas’ were the only ones to respond. We were invited for a tour and felt at home straight away. The outdoor provision has been revamped throughout the year and our son always talks about how amazing it is and how his ‘teachers’ are his bestfriends. The staff are supportive, loving and caring. I would highly recommend St Nicholas’ to anyone within the local area! Thank you for the time you have spent with our son, you’ve definitely made him primary school ready.”

“Absolutely an amazing place. No judgement all age groups welcome. Great classes and a great group of people. Love the place , Great for exercise and social.,Have met some lovely people who are now great friends”

“Although I rarely visit Karimia Institute but whenever I am there I feel like home citing many many good reasons .... May Allah this Institue always flourish like sun and spread its light to many generations ahead... Ameen”

“First time at Duchess Theatre and I'm impressed. Hot drinks were available and a bar. Air conditioning was very much appreciated. Will definitely go again.”

“This is the best pole/aerial studio I have ever been to. I have been going there for over 2 years now and will miss it so much when I move soon. All the instructors are so amazing, professional, friendly and supportive. It’s an amazing way to get stronger, switch off your mind and most importantly- it’s so much fun! Everybody is welcome there. I can’t reccomend this place enough!”

“One of the best if not the best place at Nottingham Trent University. Great people, great events, great atmosphere and the assistants there are absolutely fantastic. If you are at Nottingham Trent, you need to check out the global lounge and get involved!”
