University in Reading

“I can absolutely recommend this university. The way you are treated is great. Furthermore, you learn the really important things in a reasonable amount of time and are very well prepared later on. Greetings from Germany”

“Lovely sculpture garden with 'pools' inspired by C. S. Lewis' ‘Wood Between the Worlds' in the Chronicles of Narnia.”

“Alison (Aly) in the garment making class was a fantastic teacher, many many years experience, incredibly personable and so knowledgeable, not just in the subject but also on how to teach and keep the class motivated.”

“Absolutely the best school in Reading in my opinion. They have the most friendly, entertaining and supportive staff, lots of opportunities to develop and excel in your career, best quality education, great subject options, really fun and educative dropdown days and employer workshops. Take it from me as being a student here that this is the best school that you will ever go to.”

“I’ve been going here for quite a few years now and they never disappoint! I’ve always had trust issues going to hair salons cause they never get it right, especially with my type of hair. But they always nail it and my hair always looks so healthy and smooth every time. Highly highly recommend!”

“Great service with a smile, and extremely helpful with technologically impaired people like me! Would highly recommend for same day dissertation binding in under 2 hours!”

“Its a nice safe clean campus. Blocks are well maintained(most of them) some are bit old blocks. Close to university campus, walking distance depending on the building of study. Bus station is nearby to go to supermarkets. Dominos, Indian restaurant and other take out places are in walkable distance. Full of lush green campus .”

“I attended Vicky’s class for Reiki 1 and what a wonderful day it was. Vicky is so welcoming, supportive and positive I am so glad I chose to learn with her. It was a small personal class with some wonderful like minded people and you come away with so much knowledge and full of positive energy. Thank you so much Vicky, I will be keeping an eye out for dates I can attend for the next course xx”

“I recently completed my IT certification exams here, and couldn't ask for anything more. The college is very accessible, has a pleasant atmosphere with helpful staff, and provided a seamless and stress-free experience throughout. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to take their exams in-person.”

“We’ve just come back from another fabulous trip with Steppin out, this time performing in the iconic Blackpool Tower. The kids were amazing, and all their hard work really paid off. They shone like the stars that they are. If you’re looking for the best performing arts school then look no further, this is it. As a family we’ve made lifelong friends and our daughter loves every minute of it. I couldn’t recommend it more.”

“A gorgeous complex. The central square is a world away from the bustling city outside. The chapel is amazing.....the artwork behind the altar is one of a kind. Breathtaking.”

“Has got to be one of the most beautiful colleges in Oxford. Phenomenal architecture.”

“The food here was excellent as always. Starters were prompt, and delicious, I had cheese souffle, my husband had a duo of pate, both were a good size. The main was course was also fantastic, chicken with a pernod sauce, and my husband had venison. We really should have stopped there as we were actually full, but sight of tarte tatin on the desert menu tempted us. It was delicious, but I couldn't finish it, such was the size of the portions. We also had a bottle of house Merlot which was very good. Service was prompt and polite, it really is a delightful treat to eat at Pierre Victoire!”

“We got married on 31st may this year at old luxters barn and used the business school the night before to stay and get ready on the morning of the wedding. I cannot recommend this place enough! The booking was made easy and we were given 2 big bridal suite rooms to use which were ideal when getting ready with there being a big group of us! The staff were incredibly helpful and professional and could not do enough for us! The beds are super comfy and rooms were immaculate meaning I had a great nights sleep before the big day! Breakfast started early And was lovely! A lot of our guests used the business school to stay on the night of the wedding and all said how great it was. I would definitely use this place again!”

“Beautiful setting. Fit for purpose, World Adventurer Day. It needs some serious funds to modernise or even give a face lift to our Adventist treasure that gives so much. Well maintained grounds and buildings. The time has come for us to give back.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”
