Activity programs in Woodford Green

“Very friendly gym. Nice and cheerful staff. Used the Gym for a long time, loved the Body Pump classes and the main gym area. Few machines can be replaced but again you are not paying through the roof to get into a 5 star facility. It is a good gym and a nice bunch of people. Good timings and decently maintained. Recommended.”

“Very professional dojo practicing. A nice friendly and sociable place to learn Aikido and the Japanese sword. Highly recomended!”

“our kid is happy there, and she's really built up her confidence. you get a sense that the staff at the nursery really cares for the kiddies.”

“The teachers and Head genuinely care for the children and love what they do. Excellent, encouraging and inclusive school.”

“I’ve been going to the ladies morning classes for about 1 month now with no previous martial arts experience and it’s been so lovely. The instructor, Jess, is really welcoming of all abilities and is really adaptable. The classes have a great mix of longer term skill development and new skills each time. I gather the dojo has evening classes to but the morning ones I find are a great place to start off getting fit and learning something new.”

“IMPRESSIVE A LEVEL RESULTS 2019 There were lots smiling faces today at Bancroft’s this morning. After the long 6 weeks wait for this year’s A Level results. We are delighted to report that 65.8% of all A levels taken were graded at either A* or A grade with 85.2% of them at grades A*, A or B. All eleven of the students who held offers from either Oxford or Cambridge have had their places confirmed, with the majority of other pupils achieving the necessary grades for their first choice universities. The main feeling amongst the pupils seemed to be relief that the stress had come to an end and that they can now get on with their summer and their futures. Theva said “I’m just glad it is all over, I can relax now.” Joseph offered some advice for next year’s cohort, “Do something the day before – just take your mind off things. And stay off social media, there are too many rumours about grade boundaries!” Many pupils did better than they had expected; Eloise was celebrating her 3 A*s and place at Bristol, “I’m really shocked. I was busy looking up clearing yesterday and I thought I had been given the wrong results envelope this morning.” Tom shared her joy, “I’ve done way better than I thought. I honestly thought I had failed and didn’t expect to do this well (A*, A, A) so I’m taking up my place for English and History at Sheffield. Caroline said that she resorted to watching Netflix throughout the night as she couldn’t sleep; her fears were unfounded as she achieved the grades needed for her International Business with French degree in Edinburgh. Head Simon Marshall said, “We’d like to congratulate our leavers of 2019 who have achieved impressive results this year. The new reformed, linear A Levels aim to be demanding and challenging, and we are delighted that so many of our leavers have done so well and have obtained places at their chosen universities.”

“To whom it may concern I don’t normally send emails like this but a group of school children from Ray Lodge Primary School got on my tube carriage yesterday on my daily commute into London. Normally the whole carriage sighs (as they do not want to hear (or see) school children in the morning but this group was very different. They sat quietly and read their books and were simply the best behaved children I have ever seen. I know someone else commented on the tube too to the teacher in charge. I have lived in Woodford for over 20 years and actually sent my daughter to Churchfields school but having seen those children yesterday I would have certainly reconsidered that choice now. Whoever the teacher was that was in charge of them was brilliant, she completely had all those children under control at all times. Kind regards Jenny”

“I always enjoy my order from here on Uber eats. Generous portions, tasty food and because there is no tracking when I’ve called up they are friendly. There is a good selection between mild to spicy dishes also which is great.”

“I have been a patient of Ian Cowell at Brook Physiotherapy for many, many years and that came after a recommendation. I have never known a physiotherapist who can shine a light anywhere near Ian. He is the absolute best and his practice is second to none. As well as being highly skilled, Ian and his team are honest and principled and always put patient care at the centre of everything they do. I simply can't recommend Ian and his team enough - it's a shame I only get to see Ian formally when there's something wrong!”

“Outstanding school, compassionate staff and effective teachers. Parent of Wells Primary pupil x 3”

“We couldn’t be happier with Chestnut Nursery. Both our daughters go there- both have thrived from day one. The staff are incredible- they care so much tor the children and enable the most wonderful environment to learn, have fun and make really important life skills. The food is so varied and brilliant- they both love it! I believe this is the best nursery in the area. Thank you!”

“Lovely nursery highly qualified staff would highly recommend since my nephew started he has come on so well and gets so excited to go to nursery and always comes out with a smile on his face.”

“Amazing experience. So much attention to detail. Gentle with our doggie. Affordable grooming and when we go away, nice for an overnight stay. So reasonable and safe, feel comfortable leaving our dog with someone so caring.”

“Excellent school of dance, my daughter loves every class and now goes twice a week! Couldn't recommend more!”

“I started school in st Antony's in 1952 . My name was Sheila Hyland . I have good memories. I loved drawing and I heard a picture I drew was on a wall there for many years after .”

“I have two children at Mallards Wood. The nursery has a real family feel due to the intimate setting & the staff, who are always extremely friendly, approachable & enthusiastic. You can tell they really care about the children from the way they engage with them, but also the way in which my children respond to & talk about the staff, who they have both formed strong bonds with. The activities are diverse, creative & engaging, whilst also helping with the children’s learning & development. Any issues we have had have always been dealt with swiftly & professionally. Meals are made on site & are varied & healthy. What really sets the nursery apart is the way in which staff always go the extra mile. From Birthday parties, to summer fetes, graduation ceremonies & ways of communicating & engaging with pupils & parents during lockdown – the time, effort & consideration the staff put in is priceless.”
