“Great nursery. Was extremely impressed of the day to today running of the nursery. Highly recommended if you want to provide your child a head start.”

“My son has been at this nursery for almost two years now and I don't have a bad word to say about them! There's a real family feel there, I love how the management team are always available and know details of the children's day. It's well equipped, the menu is great and the location is handy for travel into London but, the relationship between the staff and the kids is the most important thing and I love how my son runs to his key worker for a hug most mornings.”

“I grab a take away from New Malden high street and sit under the sun with friends whenever i'm around the area.”

“Good hairdressers Very friendly and good atmosphere Good service yes”

“A broad range of activities, kind staff and a welcoming pleasant environment.”

“My daughter goes to Acacia Preschool and she absolutely loves it. The staff is brilliant and very caring. It’s the best nursery in New Malden! I highly recommend it to anyone!!!”

“Awesome place to train and become a real disciple of Kung fu. Got my fourth level badge at the mo and looking to progress. Lessons are fun with a real clear plan of teaching. First 15 minutes are warm ups and stretches which really get the blood flowing, then punching, footwork drills. Followed by the form, Tsu nimh Tau.(not sure how its spelt hehe) After this every week there is different attacks and techniques which are constantly repeated and trained. This is amazing in building up an instinctual muscle memory training ritual which you can take with you if you are ever in Kingston one late evening near the pubs with louts running around. I feel so much more confident when I am out and it really helps people stay away for their own sake. Alex the instructor is the main man. Also had a pleasure in meeting Sifu Alan and Grand Master Sergio which really gives you an idea into how far beyond where you stand you can really venture into this martial art. If you have seen Ip man or into Bruce Lee you will want to do this. Even if you want to get fit and/or your a lady worried about people getting in your space this is the perfect art for you. My daughter was man handled by two lads a few years older than her. She shouted "Back Off!" and threw a Fuk sau and a Cheng Sau in their direction. Needless to say I have not had to interfere because they have now left her alone and made to feel like clowns because they got manhandled by a girl two years below her at school. So worth it. JUST DO IT!!!”

“Lovely people to deal with. I managed to sort out 2 life insurance policies, my mortgage and my pension with immense ease.”

“Went to check out the college for my son for next year, the welcome was so warm and inviting and all the staff were lovely and friendly especially the reception Donna xx”

“It's a great school with a new head teacher as of 2014 I think.”

“First school. Really close to my house and great teachers. Everyone was friendly and helped to you achieve what you wanted.”

“Absolutely Fantastic theatre club!! Staff are so friendly and professional, they really know their stuff. My daughter made so many new friends and she can't wait to be signed up for the next class! Highly recommended :)”
