“Last summer Russell came to investigate a potential leak and a chemical imbalance with the pool. He took a lot of time to test areas for the leek, resolved it and changed the sand in the filter. The results have been great. The best impact was opening the pool this year it was clear and water level had not changed. A great relief and no more throwing chemicals at the problem. A great job well done. He was also able to source an electrician to change the timer”

“Small classes, high standard of teaching, relaxed learning atmosphere.”

“Just joined Nuffield Health Gym in Reading and I’ve had a fantastic experience so far. From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel welcome and supported. A special thank you to Sofia (CEM) who was incredibly helpful and friendly—she took the time to walk me through everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident as a new member. Her support really made a difference!”

“Both of my boys have started learning to swim here and have been progressing really well through the different levels. All of the swimming instructors are excellent – professional, patient, and very encouraging. You can really see the results in the water, and the boys are always excited to come back because they enjoy it and have fun. A special thanks to Huss, Charlotte, and Kara for their great teaching and support. Highly recommended place if you want your children to learn to swim with confidence!”

“I recently started personal training sessions with Matthew Truman, one of the trainers at Village Gym Bracknell, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Matthew is an exceptional trainer—attentive, encouraging, and genuinely committed to helping me reach my goals of getting stronger, leaner, and building confidence in the gym. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and truly a pleasure to work with. He certainly knows how to challenge me in the best way, and his support has given me the confidence to push myself further than I thought I could. I’m slowly but surely hitting my goals, and the improvement in my confidence has been amazing. Well done, Matthew, and thank you for everything! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic personal trainer to support them on their fitness journey.”

“Went to this Lido on a Thursday with their Swim & Lunch package. Such a best deal! We came a bit late but the team are very welcoming and flexible and we can still enjoy the lunch and the swim and spa facilities.”

The overall atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and professional, ensuring a fantastic experience for visitors.

“We have baby swimming classes here and find it so fun and helpful for little one. Bea, the instructor is fantastic, very kind and gentle with the babies. She teaches with songs and really encourages both baby and parent. She really goes above and beyond to ensure the little ones are having a good time and relaxed. The water in the pool is nice and warm. I highly recommend the classes!”

“Cracking sports centre. No frills, fuss or fluster, just a modern, clean and extremely functional centre dedicated to fitness not vanity. Open to non-students at set times and relatively reasonably priced The students at this school are incredibly lucky.”

“Lots of avian wildlife along this stretch of The Thames. There are plenty of benches to sit on and watch the world go by, as well as extensive lawn areas on which to sunbathe or have picnics in the summer. There's a children's paddling pool and playground. Tennis courts. Public conveniences. Some lovely trees, especially a line of Lombardy poplars, which can be seen on the edge of the eastern boundary. The pedestrian bridge is a worthy addition to the Meadows. There's a nice area right by the end of Wolsey Road where you can sit on benches and watch the boats. There are a lot of bird families on that stretch of the river. They enjoy the floating bird seed, which can be conveniently bought at Homecrafts, the brilliant hardware store in Prospect Street. Christchurch Meadows is a charming, tranquil area to spend time in. The birdlife is wonderful. When I was seriously ill in the hospital, I daydreamed of being here. It's an idyll, a piece of paradise, and I love it.”
