School in Portsmouth

“I had a fantastic lesson with Gemma and Sam today to fix my front crawl technique. Everything was broken down and explained at the perfect pace for me. The feedback and tips during the lesson helped me feel immediately more confident, and in addition they gave me drills to work on and cement what we'd covered. All in a very friendly environment with a few laughs shared. Would 100% recommend.”

“i really enjoyed my lessons with simon, he braught my confidence in driving as soon as i started! i’d highly recommend learning with him”

“I went to the open day today and booked to do SUP and kayaking. Sam our paddle board instructor was great! We had a fun 45 minutes on the giant paddle board teaching us how to paddle and played some fun games. All the adults and children had a great time. Talia our kayaking instructor was also fab! Great instruction on how to move and manoeuvre in a kayak and more fun games. I had a fantastic experience here and would not hesitate to book and come back for learning more water sports in a safe and fun environment”

“Absolutely brilliant! I was lucky enough to be the celebrant for J&V's wedding last Thursday at The Millstream Hotel. I was welcomed by the General Manager and her team with coffee and freshly made cookies. Incredibly welcoming. The team looked after our wedding guests with care abd attention ensuring my couple had THE best day. Our service went perfectly with tge GM delivering sentimental items into the service for me to get the tone just right. Ice cream was served to all the guests whilst my couple signed thier certificate, and all in all they had the best day. Thank you for looking after me so very well, I hope to be back!”

“My daughter has been attending for a few weeks now and I can say without a doubt that's one of the best I've tried in the area. I can see the joy and excitement in her face for her achievements while participating in the classes. Every session is really well structured, there's order and every participant knows what they're doing and what's expected of them. The children are constantly monitored and instructed so there's constant learning and progression unlike some of other gyms we attended. It's a very save environment due to the well thought out facilities and of course the amazing coaches. Highly recommend this school!”

“My 2 year old daughter started last term and she absolutely loves her classes. The classes have a good range of songs to dance along to and activities. The parent and me class is super friendly and welcoming! Would definitely recommend”

“Very good nursery, my son loves spending time there. He is very fond of Liam on hi5. Liam is very caring to the children no wonder all the children are “crazy” about him, my son included.”

“My daughter has been coming to Dramatis for about a year now and absolutely loves it. She has made friends and learnt lots of skills. She absolutely adores Suzy who runs the classes as she seems to work with their individual strengths and develops their weaknesses.”

“I moved my son here when they first started being open 51 weeks, as a working parent I needed wraparound care. Set in a lovely location with a huge green, a newly build hall, allotments & local parks that they visit - this is the perfect setting. With a close relationship with the practitioners you know your little ones are having more 1-2-1 as it is a smaller setting. Lots of activities to do as well as daily walks, outings to the local supermarket. It is enjoyed by all. They also had visits from ambulances, forest school leaders etc With daily updates on Tapestry I knew my son was having the best time as well as being well updated with news & events. It was easy to communicate with the staff. Cecilia, my sons Key Worker was fantastic. Always keeping me updated with my son’s progress and any problems I would be notified. Thank you Claire, Hannah and the rest of the team. We miss Little Learners!”

“This fabulous school has seen my 3 children receive a great education in a supportive environment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.”

“As a family, we can certainly sing the praises of West Hill Park. Our two children are very happy there and having one child who started out very quiet and shy, we have seen them grow in confidence and blossom. All of the teachers are extremely supportive and encouraging and nothing is too much trouble. We are over the moon with West Hill Park and would highly recommend this amazing school to anyone who is considering sending their child there.”

“My daughter has flourished since being at Arabesque and looks forward to every class!! She has progressed so much in dance and performing in a safe, supportive and encouraging environment. The teachers are AMAZING!!”

“Absolutely amazing school had the most enjoyable 7 years there and met so many great people and teachers who helped me so much xxx”

“A lovely school with a very fresh and forward thinking approach to education. They really put the children first and prioritise their needs.”

“Pool temperature & atmosphere is lovely, the separate male / female saunas are a lovely touch. Plenty of class options , the gym is never too busy , I am always able to use the equipment I want/need. Being able to grab a decent coffee is also a win. Staff are polite & attentive.”

“My daughter has been going to Louisa for over a year now. She was really struggling at school with her confidence so we wanted to give her some extra support with her learning. I am so pleased we found Louisa, my daughter has come on so much from attending her tutoring sessions and her confidence at school now is brilliant. Louisa has tailored a learning programme specifically for her based on her ability and this has helped her massively at school. Louisa is wonderfully kind and goes out of her way to make the learning process fun, friendly and supportive. She has created a lovely learning environment within a home setting. We cant recommend Louisa enough.”

“Barton Hall Horndean going forward from strength to strength. I returned to dancing here a year ago as a widower. It has helped me to remember the beginner and intermediate moves I learnt 20 years ago, but the progess I am making with new intermediate moves and putting them into some sort of coherent dance has been amazing and down to Tom D and his team. Add in a monthly master class, what's not to like. Just do it!”

“My daughter has been attending for 2 years. Starting with the mini's and progressing into juniors (nearly 7 yr old). My tip, throw any preconceptions of a school play out of the window - this is so not that. The quality / professionalism of the end product 'the show' is top notch on par what you expect from an adult set of performers. My daughter loves the class each week, with education cutting back on 'arts & crafts' this is a fantastic platform for children.”

“My little girl's first experiece in "school" was at the St Ives nursery, which she loved ever since the taster day, from which she did not want to come away! Having toured a few nurseries, the breadth and diversity of activities on offer was compelling together with the safe and encouraging environment, which promoted both independence and proper socialisation. She couldn't wait to be a "reception girl" this year and as the academic year closes, she has flourished both socially and in her "school work". It was important to us as parents that the school environment focus on learning but also, at this age, making it fun to learn, and I can safely say that the school has exceeded our expectations in this regard. This has to be attributed to the teachers who really do care about the girls and work hard to get the very best out of them - no mean feat!! Together with this, the small class sizes and personal attention that each girl receives is fantastic and our daughter's progress has been remarked upon by other parents with similar age children. The girls have a wide variety of activities and projects outside of pure academics that serves to increase their curiosity of the world we live in, and manners and positive values are also instilled in the girls day to day, which are an important part of the St Ives ethos. The biggest testament to the school has to be that she can't wait to get to school, every single day.”

“My little girl started pretty soon after the nursery opened and settled pretty much straight away, the staff are always so helpful and ive seen a massive change (in a good way) in my daughter! Thank u viki and the team. Would recommend x”

“Absolutely outstanding dance school. Amy and her team are simply the best, nurturing, encouraging and super professional.”

“The most lovely little preschool where every child is valued and where independence is promoted. My youngest is currently at preschool and my eldest also went to Waltham Chase Pre-school. My youngest asks to go everyday and doesn’t give me a second glance as she runs in.”

“Love the nursery my two kids went there ! Lovely team and very attentive to children needs”
