Arts in Orpington

“So pleased to find Petts Wood Nails this year! Fantastic service from Ms Trang and the best nails I’ve ever had. Gel manicures are superb and are really long lasting. Highly recommend.”

“My daughters love attending Spotlights classes and have grown into confident performers as a result. This year's Annie show was a joy to watch and children clearly enjoyed every moment. I would recommend Spotlights to any parent who wishes their child to develop stage skills.”

“Orpington Plumbing and Heating Solution - Thank you! Fantastic responsiveness. I ended up not using them but they were really responsive and great. It's unusual for this sort of business to be so on top of technology and so responsive, but they are and I appreciate it. Thanks!”

“I've found this to be an excellent dental practice. All the staff are welcoming, friendly and make you feel at ease. My dentist (Helen) is approachable, empathetic and professional. I've been very pleased with all the treatment that I've had here.”

“Great service at Jacob's barbers. Previous barbers have never cut my sons hair how I've asked, but at Jacob's they got it spot on! They even managed to get my hair looking good aswell! Staff very friendly and accommodating as well. Will definitely be going back from now on.”

“I saw Simon today who cut and blow dryed my hair. Simon was so lovely and really looked after me. He cut my hair beautifully and I looked amazing after, which was perfect timing as I was just about to meet my friends for lunch!!!! Everyone said how nice my hair looked.”

“All the staff here are amazing - from reception, the nurses, and the vets, they do their utmost to care for your pets. Would definately recommend Ashmores.”

“We took our Labradoodle, Pippa in after a quick phone consultation. We have use the same groomers in West Wickham and Beckingham since Pip was a puppy but due to a poor experience chose to try an alternative. We chose Trimdogs as so many local owners spoke so positively about their experiences. Obviously nervouse to use a new groomer but on meeting the staff I was instantly assured that Pip would be well cared for, they came across very friendly and down to earth. On further discussion it was clear that they were knowledgeable and experienced and caring - they don't harness the dogs during their cut and choose to let them 'just be' on the table. I thought this was bonkers and worried how Pip would behave but this approach clearly had a good effect. When we collected Pip she was happy, settled and equally please to see us (although clearly had bonded with her groomer and didnt know who she wanted to be petted by). The cut had surpassed out expectations, there really is a benefit to tring a different groomer - although I can see us sticking with Trimdogs for quite some time. Even if you have been with the same groomer for some time - give Trimdogs a try, even if its just to see the shop - its bonkers, they have a fake garden wall as a counter and a back garden gate for the gods to walk though - very nice attention to detale.”

“My visit by phone appointment was 8th February in Optometcal department after my eye surgery. But letter was written 8th March which I did not notice.. But reception and other Nurse was very helpful and carring. They manage to fit me in to see the Doctor.. I Thank receptionist and Nurse from bottom of my heart.. My mistake by not taken their names. Mrs J Patel”

“My poor little dog was suffering from teething and was been seeing quickly and sorted out, back home and was all changed for better and improving Lovely care treatment!”

“I have had a 1-on-1 sewing session with Linda, and she was so knowledgeable with her craft. She even accommodated me when I had an emergency at home. They were very helpful.”

“Rebecca King (Radiology Lead) and her team were so helpful and patient on the day of MRCP scan. Never easy to go through scans in difficult times but must put pen to paper how grateful I am to have been treated so well by Rebecca and her team. Thank you.”

“Thanks for such a help, they were not keen to increase your bill and ensures only sensible bits are done. My tyre was done in 25 mins and the person at reception didn't charge the other guy who was there for small work. Well done and you have a got a customer for long.”

“Been using shockwave therapy to treat my tennis elbow couldn’t recommend it enough! Danny has been brilliant”

“Great family run, friendly, caring and supportive. Brilliant for different ages and abilities.”

“My daughter loves all her classes at Holly Bellsham School of Performing arts, doing tap, ballet, street jazz, drama and singing. I love that the classes are fun and no pressure is on the children yet they are learning all the correct technique. She enjoys her drama and singing classes and is always excited to get her scripts and song words. It’s been lovely to see her involved in the theatre shows and watch her on stage.”

“Have been with Perrys since we started business 6 years ago. Very happy with the service and support we have been given as growing business. Friendly, responsive and professional at all times.”

“My daughter joined stagecoach just a few months ago. I could see her change in a positive way as she grew her confidence. The show was fab and could see professional approach and a good story line.. really happy with Stagecoach Orpington.. looking forward to the main stage:) thank you”

“Great adult ballet class - good for balance, posture, stretching, etc., and all to lovely music with wonderful teacher. Ideal for beginners and those who have done ballet before, however long ago. 8-9pm Mondays at Orpington Village Hall except in school holidays.”

“Very quick service. The guy on the front desk was very friendly, explained everything and kept me informed at all times. Very reasonable prices had brake issues, husband had looked at them and knew what was wrong so booked into Kwik fit Sevenoaks road. We have one nearer but has used them before and trusts the staff there. New drums and shoes, just under £300 all in.”

“Ian was excellent on time and done a very good job unblocking a toilet, very tidy and a really nice bloke and would definitely recommend”

“First time I've needed to use this new centre. I was 'mega' impressed! I did have a long wait for an appointment in Derma, but I was pretty sure it was not an urgent condition so didn't worry. But the new building is smart and clean and obviously modern. Facilities were not crowded or cramped. Reception staff were young but (quite unusual for the young!) helpful. Dr Malone the consultant was excellent, and has been before. Her 'couch-side' manner impeccable. Friendly but a most professional examination and study of my notes too. A thorough examination, a relief that the problem solely requires a cream which was promptly prescribed, and as I suspected the problem had been caught at an early stage and was not dangerous. Some skin cancers can be deadly, and for Dermatology to now have such a centre of excellence and permanent facilities locally reflects it's importance as a health service sector, and it's increasing relevance within the field of skin cancers with climate changes affecting us all. A Dr Parson I understand was highly influential in the development of this centre, and he happens to be my GP of long standing also, and I would like to congratulate him for the success of this new building, a worthy addition to our NHS and badly needed. Our health system will never be perfect for all, our expectations in modern times are higher, and our nation through successive Govt failures is no longer as wealthy. But the staff in our NHS continue to amaze me for their resilience. They should be proud. But, the continued under-funding of resources and restriction of salaries under a certain parties control (which shall remain nameless) will (and has) destroy morale and lead to a brain drain of our badly needed professionals, to places prepared to offer better conditions of work-and there are many. It's high time we recognised the importance of the nations health in productivity, and invested properly in healthcare. Orpington reflects 'one small step for man', but one giant leap for mankind is still desperately needed.”

“A long standing swimming club, with a great track record of developing swimmers of all ages to a high competitive standard.”
