School in Southampton

“What a stunning place! Without doubt the most impressive school I've ever witnessed”

“Our family has known the team at Bright Horizons since our eldest started there in 2018. He spent three very happy years there and his development through the wide range of activities that the kids participate in daily was nothing short of astounding. Our second child is currently attending there and his development is progressing the same as his older brother's did. Our youngest starts after the summer. It was difficult back in 2018 to choose a nursery as there were a lot of choices and as new parents we were obviously apprehensive but within a very short space of time we realised we had made the right decision as each and every member of staff are very professional and hard working but also show a very genuine affection and interest in the children's wellbeing. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Bright Horizons and will always be grateful to them for the peace of mind they gave us and the great care they took (and continue to take) of our children.”

“It is a large school by it s also really good”

“fantastic school. very caring and kids love it (my 3 do/did anyway)”

“An exceptional school! My daughter has gone from a quiet, timid learner to a diligent, confident GCSE student making excellent progress and it is all down to Leehurst Swan. We throughly recommend this school!”

“Great school with an amazing curriculum”

“A lovely riding school with even lovelier staff. My children are always well looked after and we are always greeted by friendly helpful staff. The ponies are looked after incredibly well, and clearly love their job! The yard is always tidy and the girls on the yard are always happy to help with any queries. The office staff are always very helpful in person & over the phone. Especially the manager Sam, who always looks out for everyone and is happy to help anyone, anytime… even on her days off! We very much look forward to our next visit & couldn’t recommend this establishment enough.”

“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. ❤️”

“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.”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“Fun and friendly atmosphere for all levels of dancer. Expert teachers who love what they do and make it easy for everyone to learn. Best place in Southampton to learn salsa or Bachata!”

“Lovely dance school. My daughter attends several classes and really enjoys them all.”

“Great pool for young kids who are ready to increase their distance with independent swimming. Fantastic teachers who go in or out the pool depending on ability and confidence of the group. Really recommend”

“Our daughter 3yrs enjoys her ballet classes tremendously. I as a mother found them so good that I joined their adult classes and it’s a weekly highlight for me. Highly recommend because the teachers are exceptionally well trained and always keep a good momentum with the children it is always organised but with fun even for shy little dancers.”

“great school lots of happy memories great teaching and care staff.”

“Warm, professional and outstanding preparatory school in Romsey. Couldn't ask for more!”

“My daughter dances here and absolutely loves it! The teachers are amazing with all the kids! Would 100% recommend!”

“This place was my home and I mean that so genuinely. The friends I made there were my family, and not just in a metaphorical way, as I finished TT 6 years ago and now live with my best friend who I met there! Karina and all the other teachers are who gave me the skills, confidence, and experience to move to London and study performing arts full time. I now get to dance and sing my way around the world as my job and still regularly think back on all the fond memories- and there are LOTS. There is no better way to spend your time than here (but be warned - you will never want to leave!)”

“I love this place because a quiet a lot of my family has been here and they had a great experience and education :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)”

“I'd been looking for a teacher with patience and knowledge for a while, until I found her. Debs makes all my classes fun and helps me gain more knowledge every day. I truly recommend her classes because she cares about each student and makes the lessons personalized. Agus”

“I feel blessed to have a talented musician, Natalya to be my music teacher. She’s simply the best.”
