“Lots of green areas, fresh air, beautiful paths to enjoy”

“Proud Asian studying rlly hard. Fantastic and perfect environment for overseas student! Great school! Fantastic sporting facilities as well!!”

“Razzamataz has been such an incredible opportunity for our children. We arrived in England a few years ago, and our Razz Trial was one of the first big events for my kids - all 3 of them felt accepted, loved, and encouraged from the moment they arrived! Their 2 years with Razz has truly helped to mold them into confident and kind humans. Debbi and her team have built a safe and positive environment for kids to express themselves and be celebrated for who they are.”

“The Barn nursery is a great environment for children to grow and be ready for school. Both our children have attended the Barn and we couldn’t be more happier. All the staff are amazing at finding a balance between understanding rules, learning about the world and having fun, whilst at the same time understanding that every child is different and having a personal touch with each and every one of them. It feels a real community nursery, parents getting involved with the staff to help make the children ready for school. Our children and I have fond memories of the Barn and they talk about revisiting it all the time. Highly recommended. Can’t thank the staff enough for all they have done.”

“From the moment my daughter started at OBVNS it’s felt like a home from home environment. The staff have always made me feel relaxed and welcome and I also felt supported as a parent. My daughter made strong bonds straight away which I believe added to her development and alongside everything they have on offer; fantastic age appropriate environments, planned activities, walks around the local village and guests they have in to offer new and exciting opportunities ensured her Early Years education has been fulfilling and rewarding. I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better nursery for my baby.”

“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!!”

“Deep knowledge, great empathy , amazing sense of humour, a willingness to listen and ALWAYS ready to help your practice. Uday embodies yoga in true sense. He is a guru for every level of practice and is always thinking of ways to enhance your yoga experience”

“Courses are intensive and practical. You’d definitely be thinking differently after your experience here, no matter how intelligent you think you are. Very young Professors and Doctors (Prof. Andrew- my favorite), friendly and approachable. My memories here will linger forever.”

“My daughter had such an amazing experience in her first Steppin Out big show, Steppin Into Oz!! She thoroughly enjoyed the process, and Steppin Out is her favourite part of the week. After coming out of her last show, she said she wanted to just keep doing the shows, so a very happy girl who loved it all. The staff have put in so much time and effort, the costumes were amazing and the children shone on stage, and made magic! The opening number was brilliant and the finale was a tear jerker. We can't wait for the next one!”

“Excellent service. I send cleaner’s manager message and in the same action has been taken . I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for cleaning services to contact Luigi and Sidra as they are the best.”

“My daughter started with BOS when she was 4 and has now completed one full year. She has absolutely loved the variety of things they get to do in class, and being involved in her first theatre production was incredible! Her confidence has grown so much, and she can’t wait for the next term to start!”

“My partner and I had an amazing afternoon learning how to dive with Oyster Diving School. Special thanks to Tom, who was very patient and thorough in his explanations. Looking forward to coming back for our open water!”

“Martin taught my 12 year old daughter to dive. Very happy with everything. I have already recommended him to other people. I used to be an instructor and after seeing him teach, I know he has a passion and skill in his profession.”

“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.”

“Luke has been attending Stagecoach for 5 years now. He has recently gone up to the Furthers group as he is now 14 which he was a bit worried about. Saying that he still loves it as much if not more than he had. All the teachers are so friendly, kind & caring that he has always felt safe whilst doing something he loves. They clearly all enjoy what they do. They go out of their way to ensure that everyone is involved & enjoying their time each week. I just wish that Luke went into school each day as happy as he goes to Stagecoach each week. Thank you Stagecoach”

“I cannot recommend YEM enough! We have been with them for a number of years now and they just keep getting better. Their genuine care and passion for all students shines through in everything they do, from the skills taught in all classes to the support for mental health and well-being. Our daughter’s confidence has increased tenfold since she has been part of the YEM family - they encourage, support and develop and allow the children to showcase their skills on stage at their ‘big’ show bi-annually, with a smaller family showcase the alternating year. In the words of my daughter - join YEM because it teaches you so much, it’s made me so confident, it’s fun and I just love it!”

“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.”

“My daughter has been attending HAYA in Camberley since April 2024 and absolutely loves it. She joined to meet other people of a similar age and to learn different learning techniques. She really enjoys improvisation and show casing what she has learned. I would highly recommend!”

“Theatretrain Basingstoke is a fantastic place for children to get training and experience in performing arts. The team is great and highly professional - giving children their best at all times! The principal of Theatretrain Basingstoke - Pip is such an amazing person with super worm, welcoming and positive personality. Always a pleasure to be around! If you want your children to get a great training in performing arts, have an amazing time and gain a lot of self confidence, Theatretrain is the place to be. ”

“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!”

“Going to Stageability (Mad 4 Musicals, Mortimer) is genuinely the highlight of my daughter’s week. We started because we wanted to boost her self-esteem and channel her love of performing - and we are so glad we did! It has been so gratifying to watch her confidence grow. Having this safe space where she can be herself is incredibly valuable to us all. Kerry and Samantha are so supportive and nurturing, and really encourage the children to believe in themselves. These values have created a very positive environment which has benefitted my daughter so much. The shows are great too and it’s a real treat for our family to watch all the children shine at the end of each term! We highly recommend!”

“The best catholic school in the U.K.”

“It’s not often that you can genuinely say that an experience was life changing. But The Actor Rebellion beginners courses , Actor Accelerator programme and master classes have done that in spades. Through beautifully crafted lessons and workshops taught by Luke Marquez, with industry insights from Hannah Marquez , I developed the skills and confidence to put myself out there. I took my first class in November 2023 and I am now an Equity member , have a Spotlight profile, an agent and a great amount of experience in TV and film. This is all down to The Actor Rebellion . They know when to support, when to take you out of your comfort zone and when to let you fly . If you have ever had even an inkling or wondered what it might be like to act- just do it. I promise you won’t regret it. I have met the most wonderful people, been supported in the wonderful safe space that Luke and Hannah have created , had great fun and fulfilled a dream . If I can do it at 60, then anyone can.”
