Institute in Southampton

“I wholeheartedly recommend this school. Since joining, the change in my daughter has been remarkable. She has simply flourished. It is indeed a 'Bespoke Education' - everyone of her teachers knows how to support, encourage and get the best out of her. She has a new-found confidence and leaves to school everyday with a spring in her step. She especially loves all of the Performing Arts opportunities and has signed up to the many clubs and extra-curricular activities the school offers. Sending our daughter to Ballard was one of the best decisions we have made as parents.”

“I was a.boarder there in the early 90s. Was the only american in the school at the time. Have many fond memories of WMM”

“What can I say, our daughters have strived within this homely and educational environment. Both our girls have attended pre-school right up to year 6. We can not express enough gratitude to the staff, they have gone over and beyond, providing a safe, fun and inspiring environment to learn and grow. We are sad our time at Sherborne house will be coming to an end, but will remember each and everyone of you from ground staff, kitchen crew, school office and all the marvellous teachers. You have all excelled and shown what team work is about, pulling together and delivering wonderful support and learning particularly during tricky 2020! Thank you a million times over to each and everyone at team Sherborne House. ❤️”

“As a chinese visitor, the duck fired rice (133a) surprised me with a very high quality, the rice is well separated and not clumping, and the taste is well balanced. The meat on top of it is very tasty too. While the other dish (97) is ok, not the best not the worst, a very British style Chinese food.”

“I went to this university for a Master program in Events Management and I absolutely loved all the time spent there. Good lecturers, loving facilities, resources etc. The campuses are huge, modern buldings and facilities. I didnt live in one of their campuses but from what I saw from visiting my colleagues, the accomodation they offer is lovely. Of course is not cheap, but all is worth it for the experience. The university also has restaurants, cafes etc with affordable prices. A gym as well for those who are interested. What I loved the most from this experience was the library they have and all the resources they offer to their students to make their life easier. Second thing I liked the most was the teamwork which they emphasize, practical activities, the group projects they give you just to help you understand the theoretical ideas you learn and how to apply them in real life. They also have lots of programs and volunteering you can apply for. During my studies there I had the chance to be accepted for an International Student Ambassador job. You can imagine how happy I was having a job and working for the university , enjoying what I do and also be paid for doing it. As part of the job, I was writing blogs, taking photos for their social media channels, participating in photoshoots for their social media pages, brochures and websites, holding campus tours for their Open Days at the uni etc. It was an amazing experience which helped me grow and definitely I would repet it if I would have the chance again. Pros: ranked on 29th worldwide out of 1591 univerisities measured. Cons: not affordable for everybody, high taxes for their programms but you can always apply for a Student Finance from the Gouvernment.”

“Myself & my family visit this pub regularly and it doesn’t ever disappoint. We are a family of 4 and always feel warmly welcomed and enjoy spending time here. The staff are all very welcoming and attentive and always trying their best to please the customer. It’s a wonderful, family run pub and we will continue to support them for a long time yet. Thank you so much to everyone at The Fox & Hounds who always make our visits a real pleasure. Highly recommend.”

“I started this college last September and I absolutely love it. Teachers are hugely supportive and this is brilliant because I have dyspraxia and they are so supportive and provide lots of help. The teachers are soo funny and kind and will push you to do well. they mix the academic section with all the individuals so it's not too full on and they have a buzzing warm atmosphere. Highly recommend it for future students. All the students are so accepting and so easy to get on with :-)”

“Amazing food and very generous portions! Love their chow mein! Only downfall is the wait time, you can be waiting atleast 45mins/1hr later as only 2 people who work here.”

“After finishing Bournemouth Grammar School; I came to Brockenhurst College and it was a wonderful experience for myself. I did my Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business and the teaching was fabulous enabling us to do our assignments to the best of our ability and to perform highly in them. A special thanks to my teachers: Lisa, Paul and Mark, and for all the support from the college.”

“I attended the AECC university college Chiropractic clinic for my lower back pain clinic. The receptionist were welcoming and friendly. I had an appointment with a final year student Lauren East. She was excellent and very professional in taking history and thorough examination. She called her professor Mr Thompson who went through her finding with further examination and agreed with her clinical assessment. He reassured me regarding my problem. I highly recommend this clinic for Musculoskeletal problems.”

“It was a very busy Xmas lunch day, (Sunday 14th Dec) the staff were very very busy. The lady running the bar was the first point of contact and took the brunt of moans and groans from the customers. It took ages to get shown our table, but we could see how stretched the staff were. There were 3 staff on duty to look after a packed restaurant, serve food and clear plates, as well as run the bar area. I love this pub, always, including this visit, had the best customer service. But please help the staff out and put extra on shift, I would hate to see you lose these wonderful people due to being overstretched and basically not giving the customer service they want to Thanks again to those three ladies, you rocked it xxxxxx”

“Great food and decor. Attentive and polite staff. A lovely place for a meal in Romsey. Didn’t have the full menu available but what they did have was very well made and flavourful. A bit noisy due to the bar and restaurant being connected but that’s to be expected in a bar/restaurant venue on a Saturday night. Overall I would recommend The Olive Tree.”

“We moved to Ringwood specifically to send our kids to the Ringwood Waldorf School. It has such a vibrant community, nothing else locally compares to it. We love the festivals and everybody is encouraged to get involved with community projects throughout the year. The education provides a healthy balance of academic, social and physical skills. This sets our children up to deal with any challenges they will face after school.”

“I want to share my positive experience studying The Security Institute Level 7 Security Management and the MSc in International Security and Risk Management program at PerpetuityARC Training. The institute's team of tutors, supervisors, and staff are outstanding and provided excellent guidance throughout the course, enabling me to complete it successfully. Moreover, I feel proud to have been nominated for the "Academic Achiever of the 2023 Year Award in memory of Wilf Knight". I highly recommend this program to all security professionals seeking to advance their careers.”

“My child loves her time at Kindred Odstock Nursery. The staff are amazing, kind and listen. My little one has grown in confidence, learnt so many skills and made friends. The communication from staff is incredible, especially through the use of the app. It's great to see what my child is doing at nursery. 100% recommend Kindred Odstock... 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We couldn’t recommend Little Delwood enough if you are looking for a pre-school. Our son loved it and the wonderful staff really helped to prepare him for school. Our two year old daughter now goes here and is absolutely loving it. The staff are incredible, they go above and beyond for the children. I’d really struggle to send our children anywhere else after they’ve been at this pre school, prior to moving house it was without a doubt worth the 30min commute each way. The children do so much and are often out for walks in the community, trips to the library etc. As soon as we visited the atmosphere was calm, happy children, the way the staff treat and speak to the children we all felt at complete ease. Communication is also excellent with lots of updates and photos of their day which is always lovely to see how happy they are and what they are up to. We are very grateful our children have been able to go to such a wonderful pre-school.”

“My daughter has been attending Seaward for the past 21months since she was 1years old. She thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery and on pick up she loves telling me about all the things she’s learnt and achieved (and quite often I get some lovely artwork to hang on the fridge). Sophie and the team are very welcoming, kind, thoughtful and exceptionally motivated to teach and progress all the children in preparation for future schooling. Sophie keeps us well informed with an emailed monthly newsletter, letting us know of the upcoming learnings, aswell as regular updates from my daughters keyworker on the Tapestry app with photos, videos and written updates of skills she has achieved. Seaward is divided into two class’, however they do when possible mix the children together as children of all ages learn such different skills from one another. They are like a family at Seaward and they really care about each individual child and encourage their unique personalities to thrive whilst also instilling great values and social skills. Seaward always have a deliciously home cooked meal each day which is included in their prices and rotated each season on a 4weekly basis. Having the hot meals prepared at the nursery is so useful for our already busy morning schedule but this also encourages the children to eat together around the table which has contributed to some very good manners being learnt from an early age. I am excited to be sending my son to Seaward Day Nursery in February 2025 after his first birthday and I would happily recommend Seaward to any parents who are looking for a kind, enriching learning atmosphere with passionate staff for their children to further develop.”

“All of my 4 grandchildren have come here over the years, can't recommend it enough the staff are amazing loving and caring all he grandchildren gave thrived so much in there time here”

“My daughter absolutely loves Sound Pop, it has helped her grow in confidence & meet lots of new friends. Being given the opportunity to perform on stage in front of a big audience has been an amazing experience & she is already asking when she can do it again! Thank you Sound Pop!”

“A great campsite for family fun. No EHU but a great site surrounded by forest. They also do lots of events that are really good. The nursery is the best in the area and both our kids have absolutely loved their time there. I always recommend it to anyone looking.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better maths tutor for our daughter. From the very first session, he made everything so clear. His patience, encouragement, and brilliant way of explaining even the trickiest topics made such a difference. Thank you so much for all your support — highly recommended”

“A really fantastic preschool. The attention and care the children receive is exceptional. Rates are competitive and all the practitioners there are extremely caring. I really would recommend. ( Our daughter has been there for 1 year already and she is doing great.)”

“Best coffee place in Southampton”
