“Really great place with so many events clubs and functions. It's really supportative and welcoming. Great for all ages!”

“A community centre that really does work hard for the community. Post covid this place helped us connect with other isolated parents and we are always welcomed with positivity and a smile. We have often come to collect expired food from the supermarkets and gone away with delicious items.”

“Had a great time at a Heritage Live gig at Englefield Estate. Gorgeous setting, good vibes, and it actually felt like a proper festival - with enough bars and loos (rare). Busy but not rammed, which made it all the more enjoyable. Only complaint was the chaos getting out at the end, but that aside, really fun night out.”

“It did the job. No unnecessary complications.”

“I am so glad that we managed to secure Radek Hoffman for our Jubilee Street party, he worked the tables and assembled groups perfectly and created some incredible illusions, keeping both adults and children enthralled! We have received many really positive comments about his performance - 'He was amazing', 'his tricks were incredible', 'Brilliant performer, could watch him over and over again' the most common was of course 'How did he do that?'”

“From the get go this escape room is very immersive (it's in the back of a real barber shop)! Alex was an amazing host, he really set the scene from the start and was great with giving us a few nudges to get us on our way. There were a wide range of different puzzles, all of which were inventive and really fun to do. Definitely a must try!”

“When researching local nurseries I came across Pear Tree and loved how homely it looked. After viewing it in person and meeting the manager Maria and the deputy manager Joe, we decided it would be a good fit for our daughter. I’m so glad we did because Maria and her team are wonderful! They really take the time to get to know the children and come up with fun and creative activities for them to do. Our daughter’s confidence, language and social skills have come a long way since she started there which is a testament to the staff at Pear Tree Nursery - Thank you!!”

“Both my son's attend this nursery and they love it! Withing 2 months of my nearly 9 months old baby he's learnt so much and is so advanced. My 4 year old loves going to nursery he don't want to miss out. The staff are so lovely there and are very good with the children. Highly recommend this nursery. They always update you with photos of your children what they do and what they get up to at the nursery which is really nice for you as a parent to see aswell so you're always in the loop.”

“Huge thank you to Andy for hosting my sons Super Mario party today and being so relaxed with the loudness and high pitched excitement. They had a fantastic time playing Super Mario. This experience has now converted newbies to love playing video games. The parents of our guests were very impressed as it was a different idea and what kids are into these days. We used a local Pub down the road for their party food (Pizza and chips) and used the great party room. They loved the arcade game that’s in there as well. We shall definitely be recommending you. Look forward to coming back when they are old enough to try out the VR experience or half term sessions. Thanks again!!”

“Gabriel’s is the most wonderful welcoming outdoor learning environment. Not only do the children who attend grow and thrive the caregivers are really nurtured too. It’s truly a wonderful community to be part of. I would highly recommend families to come along to the wonderful adventure of learning and being outdoors in all weathers. The team that runs it are just the best, I am so grateful for all the kindness they have shown to my family and I.”

“Mr Muddles is amazing! Last weekend he captivated fifteen 6-year-olds for over an hour and they’re still talking about it a week later. The magic show was perfectly tailored to the group and his balloon skills were awesome (penguin hasn’t popped yet!). Totally recommend, thanks Nick!”

“My daughter has been going to MonkeyMoos since September and I cannot praise it enough! The setting is bright, colourful and welcoming and the staff are all so lovely and enthusiastic. My daughter adores her key worker and willingly goes to her when I drop her off, which is such a relief for me as, like most Mums, I easily suffer with 'Mummy Guilt'! I cannot express how reassuring it is to know that my daughter is happy and well looked. I go to work happy, knowing she's absolutely fine and probably not missing me at all! It sounds cheesy but at MonkeyMoos you really do get a sense that each child is treated as an individual. When I drop my daughter off the staff are pleased to see her and when I pick her up I get a detailed run down of what she's been up to during the day, so it's obvious that she's had personal attention all day. The Tapestry is FAB! To get photo updates throughout the day is every Mum's dream come true! You feel like you're still involved in your child's day and again, it's reassuring when you see a photo of your child smiling and having a good day. My daughter's development has come on leaps and bounds since she's been going to nursery and we're almost wishing we'd sent her earlier! I would 100% recommend MonkeyMoos. I'm already dreading the day she'll have to leave :-)”

“Our son attends Finkley and he loves it. Finkley gives our son access to great resources like the farm and soft play, and the staff are always putting on great activities. Beyond the activities is the kindness of the staff, especially his key worker Jodi, who our son adores. Highly recommended.”

“The nursery has helped my daughter a lot to grow in every aspect. She was delayed in her speech, didn’t know how to express her feelings, as parent we weren’t able to go out to any place (restaurants, supermarkets)with her as she wasn’t easy to manage. New bridge nursery helped her grow a lot. We are great full to the staff. I will highly recommend this nursery.”

“Our son has been going to Teepee for 5 months now and his development since he started is amazing. The staff are so caring and personable and it is clear that the children’s development, well-being and happiness is so important to them. We have no concerns whatsoever about leaving him. He absolutely loves being there and he always has the biggest smile when we pick him up...the array of facilities that the nursery has for the children to use and benefit from is amazing. He gets to eat a variety of lovely home cooked food and whilst he’s enjoying all of that, we are sent updates and pictures through an app which is lovely and much appreciated! The staff have always been willing and able to speak to us about any questions or concerns we may have and that has been the case since day one. Choosing Teepee was the best decision we could have made!”

“Jade was fantastic, really helpful and dealt with our request really last min. Everything was perfect. Thanks”

“Our son has been going to Pebbles for the last 9 months, since he turned 1. We could not recommend it enough. The nursery has a real family feel and every single member of staff acts with such professionalism and give the children so much love. We have complete trust in them and our son really enjoys his days at nursery which makes life so much easier for us. We feel very lucky to have found Pebbles!”

“It is atmospheric here. A good place for a children's birthday party.”
