School in Basingstoke

“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.”

“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. ”

“Great friendly and inclusive dance school. Huge range of classes from 2 to 102!!”

“One of the best and secure day cares in Basingstoke”

“Simply awesome, amazing way for your daughter or son to learn confidence and make friends for life.”

“Both my son and daughter have attended tiny steps and I've always been amazed at the staff and the care they have always given my children highly recommended”

“My daughter Aarohi has been going here for 4 years now, and it is one of her favourite places to be! In these 4 years we've seen Aarohi grow into loving the stage and learning to be a beautiful performer. The teachers are very encouraging and give space to the children to express themselves, come up with ideas and let them run with it. The Principals Danica and James are lovely people who put their all into running this and they are amazing with the children. The summer and easter camps are also absolutely great if you need a good taster for your child.”

“My son loves it here, and has come on leaps and bounds since he started.”

“Fantastic family studio. Jean nurtures all ages into developing themselves through dance. Plenty of parking in the popular business centre. My daughter looks forwards to her lessons each week!”

“Amazing school. Principle Rachel has it all! Would recommend to anyone wanting to go for fun, technique and opportunity’s to perform! Wonderful 5 star!”

“as a student here i feel like this school is top class. i’ve been at this school since march 2021 and since i’ve joined, my learning has improved. significantly. the teachers are quite literally the most helpful people you will ever meet. and the fact that this school is rated outstanding shows it’s a fantastic school.”

“I do love this college. I’m only doing English courses, but I’m more than happy with that. Teachers are really good (I learned a lot with their help) and college in general looks very nice. I enjoy every one of my lesson there. Definitely recommend English courses with Maria Thorne”

“Brilliant place, so peaceful and they have great equipment and facilities. Watched loads of lessons taking place of young and older people. Staff seemed very knowledgeable”

“Louisa’s story led dance classes are fantastically engaging and brilliant fun! Louisa has such a skill of relating to the little ones in a fun and educational way! It is such a special time I have with my 3 year old son, to move together and share the dance experience. Just the other day I saw my son reading Dear Zoo, whilst doing all the actions, it was wonderful to see. He asks to do the class recording almost everyday, which is during lockdown has been a lifeline!! My son’s movement and musicality has started to blossom since doing Louisa’s classes. He is learning to listen, pay attention but let also break out with his own take on the moves, which are always open to interpretation. Every child and parent should have the opportunity to do these classes!! I’m so happy to have found them!”

“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 :-)”

“My daughter started as a painfully shy 3 year old and is now an 8 year old bursting with confidence and takes part in such a wide variety of dance styles and musical theatre. She has made some amazing friends and equally amazing bonds with her teachers and she really knows that her teachers believe in her. Her passion and dedication are all down to the wonderful experiences everyone at M&M have provided. Not only has Evie made friends but I've also made some lovely friends and it's wonderful being a part of this dance family. I can't recommend The M&M academy enough. ❤️”

“Not being big review writers, we have just recently had another excellent lesson with Naomi and thought this needed to change! Her lessons are great as she has a talent of making everyone feel comfortable, no matter your ability or age. We love the way she is so good at gently correcting you throughout the class so that you gain the maximum benefit from all the moves. Always a really great class and we are starting to notice the benefits - thanks Naomi.”

“My daughter has a rare genetic condition so I was really conflicted about sending her to nursery. From the first visit every member of staff I have interacted with has been lovely and they have gone above and beyond to not just accommodate her but to make her feel included and cared for. She is making great progress and really exploring her independence. I cannot thank everyone enough for everything they are doing to support us on this journey. She loves going to nursery! I highly recommend cornerstones, it the best decision we have made for her!”

“Learning to salsa dance @ Alchemy is one of the best decisions I have ever made! Not only have I made such lovely friends and increased my confidence, I have also learnt how to dance salsa. The environment at Alchemy is fun, laid back and the teachers are encouraging and friendly. Alchemy is such a wonderful experience and a great opportunity to meet new people and have fun!”

“Our experience at the nursery has been wonderful since my daughter started attending in September. She absolutely loves it there! The staff are incredibly lovely, always welcoming and attentive to the children's needs. They create a warm and nurturing environment that makes learning fun and engaging. I couldn’t be happier with the care and support my daughter receives. Highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a great place for their little ones!"”

“it's busy .. like REALLY busy a lot of the time - but they have a great selection of kit to use, staff are friendly and don't push their PT services on you, it is warm up there tho - just a niggle of mine. you might like the heat :)”

“My daughter has been enjoying the classes for a few years now. Now attending Ballet, Tap, Modern and Musical theatre. Kelly the owner is calming and caring, a fabulous school and I'm so glad we found NHAD.”
