School in Reading

“Great staff across all their sites. Consistency in teaching across the sites too. The team in High Wycombe are amazing. Really happy and my son loves coming.”

“This is the best nursery in slough. Staff is very caring and supportive and understands children needs. There is enough staff. I recommend parents should send their kids to this nursery.”

“We absolutely love N Family in Reading. It is a wonderful environment, they have fantastic facilities and the food is excellent. All staff are welcoming, helpful and supportive and our little one absolutely loves them. It is so refreshing to see how much they care and how much effort they all make to know you and your child by name and stop to have a chat. Having your little one start nursery is a daunting time and making sure you have chosen the right place is so important. We could not be happier with our choice and with how well she has settled in. We are already noticing how much she is learning and how much of a positive impact her nursery is having on her development and social confidence. Thank you to the whole team for creating a truly wonderful environment.”

“Best staff, good equipment and had lots of fun out on the water. Thoroughly recommend.”

“We have had a wonderful experience with baby ballet Reading and Henley! Our daughter has always enjoyed going and has learnt so much, Miss Hollie has been fab and whenever the class has been covered by Miss Lucy she has been equally excited! She started in tinies and has since moved up to movers and both classes have been perfect to meet her needs, a kid that doesn’t always follow the rules and will happily dance off on her own, I have always appreciated the way this has been handled to keep her interested but also happy to be herself! We love coming and watching her confidence and friendships grow”

“Friendly school and wonderful staff... For the next January, We will send our youngest son, as well.”

“Highly recommended preschool! My second child Alexander loves his school from day 1, his so happy to go there every day and the staff is so caring and so well prepared. He never went to school before and he's already settled. It was so nice to meet all the parents at the Morning breakfast and see our child in action in a school activity. Thank you for organising such a lovely morning.”

“My twins have just started dance at ADS and it has been a really positive experience for us. Going into a group class is daunting for them but Miss Jillian and team have been fantastic at getting them involved without pressuring or rushing them. It’s lovely to watch and in the 8 weeks they’ve been going I’ve seen huge progress in their confidence. The creative movement class for the little ones is a perfect mix of games and learning basic positions. They all play as a group but also each lesson each child has an opportunity to do an individual movement dancing with a scarf or a movement round a circle while all the other kids watch and clap. It really is a perfect formula for intro to dance!”

“Lovely school, helpful staff, lots of diversity, and most importantly, all the kids are always smiling and proud of belonging to Micklands :-)”

“Starlets is such a wonderful dance school! My daughter is absolutely thriving there. She has made lovely friends and has such nurturing teachers! Her confidence has come on so much all whilst learning and having fun! Couldn’t recommend more !”

“Reading Academy is a truly great place to learn Wing Chun and Kali. A true, direct lineage from the early masters. There is a welcoming and fun athmosphere, but at the same time a serious school that will develop you as a fighter and a person, both mentally and physically.”

“Friendly, experienced teachers. Improved my son's swimming in a week. Very impressed. Lovely warm pool as well.”

“Has a swimming pool, sports hall (badminton/ basket ball) and a studio for things like dance lessons etc. It's got decent amount of parking too. Cost wise, it's a bit above the average. But given the kind of facilities available, I dont mind.”

“Great meeting place in centre of village”

“Great school! Wonderful teachers, very supportive and nurturing.”

“My daughter has just left for school, She has had the best time at little pioneers she had so much fun made lots of friends and has made so many memories here. She has lots of allergies, and they are taken care of really well. The colour coded place mats help to identify allergies and dietary requirements.”

“My girls are thriving at this wonderful school. We have been warmly welcomed into the community and everyone is so supportive. There is an ultimate sense of ‘family’ at the heart of the school and everyone in it.”

“Under Kelly's leadership, the nursery became a fantastic environment for my eldest child. She's loved every minute and still talks about all her experiences. The staff, especially Hannah, has made a lasting impression on her. I've even had to cook like David or the food will not be eaten at home! With its Good Ofsted rating recently, I am sure the nursery will continue to provide such a wonderful experience for other children. Thank you for everything you have done for our eldest. We look forward to seeing our little girl thrive with you in September 2025 when she joins the nursery family! Unfortunately since Kelly has left the nursery it seems to have gone down hill!!! Be wary!”

“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!"”

“Both my children attend Sherfield School, they’re having a brilliant experience there. Both enjoying the academic and sports side that the school offers. Would highly recommend the school - both the children and us, have made many friends there.”

“Such wonderful housekeeping staff. Sue and Sam. Helpful and always cheerful and fun.”

“Just had Parents Evening and thrilled with the progress and care taken of my daughter. Staff clearly know my daughter and their stuff. Fantastic pastoral care in amazing facilities.”

“My daughter attended Leighton Park From Year 8 to Year 11. She had an absolutely fantastic experience, and they gave her the most fantastic support with her dyslexia. She came as a young person with incredibly low self esteem due to her additional needs but left with enormous confidence, pride and 7 level 9 GCSEs, 2 level 8s an A* and a distinction* in a BTEC. She is now studying 4 A levels at college and is on a program to apply for Oxbridge and is seriously considering a career in politics. None of this would have been possible without the care and attention She received at LP. Their Individual Learning Centre where help is given to students with specific learning difficulties is top notch. Even more important than the qualifications is the sense of community and responsibility that my daughter learnt whilst there. All of the teachers genuinely care. We were so grateful when Covid hit, with how swiftly they put in to action on the line learning . She was Year 10 and taught every day. The pastoral care shines at this place. If you are considering Leighton Park for your son or daughter, I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

“my son goes here it is 1 of the best schools for his needs loads of activities plus the teachers are excellent”

“it is the center of learning and the universe”

“I owe my entire professional career to Miss Sarah. I came to her when I was 13, and I know that it was her passion, knowledge and exceptional teaching that won me scholarships to Dance & Musical Theatre colleges. Most dance schools have a separate teacher for each discipline (ballet, tap, jazz etc). Miss Sarah was my ballet teacher, my jazz teacher and my tap teacher, because she is at the top of her profession in every genre. The dedication, belief and energy she gives to every one of her pupils is unbelievable. She puts her heart and soul into her students and her classes. And you only have to look at The Lodge's exam results, and the success rate in getting her students in to full-tine professional colleges, to see the level of dancers that she produces. I am proud to have been trained by her, and am proud to put The Lodge School Of Theatre Dance in the programme of every West End show I have done. And more than the dancing, she taught me the discipline, respect and motivation that I carry with me to this day.”
