“Really good style, direct, simple, but effective. Sifu Kul was good.”

“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!”

“Very good team nurses professional and helpful good service communication and very wize and recommend to people”

“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.”

“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”

“Tasty fish and generous portion of chips. Cooked well!”

“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!”

“I have been at ASPA for 14 years and have had only positive experience. A great dance school for all ages”

“I saw Paul on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. I had severe lower back pain but after only 4 sessions the pain disappeared. Paul used a mixture of acupuncture, massage and gentle stretches. He also recommended an orthotic insole for my shoes. As a result I have not had any pain since.”

“I had a wonderful experience today at the vet. Laura Fernández, the veterinary, were extremely kind and professional looking after my dog and dealing with the situation. I would like to thanks her again! Also the rest of the staff were really supportive!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!”

“In 2019, I noticed that my son who was 2 years old at the time, was not talking and always had meltdowns. His childminder could no longer cope and the first nursery I moved him to could not meet his needs either. I approached Play & Learn and had a chat with the manager Millie. I mentioned that my son could not yet speak, fussy eater, meltdowns...etc. She was very reassuring and told me that she had experience in working with children with special needs. Millie and all the staff went the extra mile to help my son settle and after a while he began to look forward to going to nursery. Millie worked relentless with both Redbridge and Essex SENCO team to bring in one-to-one support teacher for my son. He was later diagnosed with autism in 2020 and Millie continued to work with my son's speech and language therapist and educational psychologist to help him meet his targets. The help he received at Play & Learn for the 2 years he was there, really helped him to be included in activities, which has improved his confidence for when he starts reception at a special needs school in Sept 2021. I highly recommend the nursery!”

“The best pepe’s in London, always serve with a smile on their faces. Super friendly. A perfect depiction of what ideal customer service is in the restaurant space. 10/10”

“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 .”

“The team at Britannia Woodford are lovely friendly people and always very helpful.”

“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.”
