Top 30 Best Creativity in learning in South Croydon

“It's so amazing anyone to think its not good well they ain't seen nothing yet. I love Stagecoach its my life xxxxx”

“Love this school, hidden away in a residential area, you are welcomed by an old, huge building but it is not intimidating. The school is friendly and nurturing, like when I went to school. It is not like these academies that focus on results and not the children's wellbeing. The staff are friendly and my children made fabulous progress here! Dont just read ofsted reports, go and visit a school and talk to the people who work there day in and day out!”

“Jigsaw is a great Performing Arts School and has very enthusiastic staff. The children who attend here get a overall sense of confidence and learn subjects including singing, Dancing and acting. Parents are also encouraged to partake in their children's learning by learning scripts and songs for performances.”

“I will be placing my son into this nursery in a few months time. Having experienced other settings, Fennies offers a variety of events not seen at other nurseries. The building is light and spacious and the staff are very friendly.”

“I will miss this school terribly after leaving it this year... It's really really lovely!”

“Great children's centre. My favourite. It has a sensory room and soft play. It is open every day, different activities. Check beforehand to avoid disappointment. It gets full so be on time.”

“My son joined Little Apples at 14 months old and quickly settled in, largely down to the friendly and caring staff. Each morning we are greeted with a warm smile and each afternoon at pick up we are told what he did that day and what his response was to that activity. Throughout the day we can see what he is up to using the Blossoms app, where his general progress is recorded and well as developmental milestone tracking and praise. We genuinely feel relaxed when our son is at Little Apples and therefore made the easy decision to enrol our youngest child there too (he starts in a few months). We feel very lucky to have found such a great nursery for our boys; knowing we can go to work and have peace of mind that they are having fun, learning and kept safe.”

“I have had two children at Fennies over a period of five years (2013-2018) encompassing all the grades (Baby Room, Toddler Room, Pre-School Room) and have been very happy with it. The staff are wonderful, very engaged, energetic and positive. They are creative and imaginative and come up with so many different ways to help the children learn and grow. The physical space is very good and well set up and there is a huge garden in which the children spend time in all but the coldest days. My children have loved their time at Fennies and have been very well prepared for school there.”

“I’m a staff member and a parent, (on maternity) the girls are lovely, I felt welcome when I had started, my child absolutely loves it here and I know she is well looked after when I’m not there, she has learnt so much, they do so much with the children, amazing activities and themes they celebrate regularly and she always brings home work to show me and her dad, the company is brilliant, and they are a credit to Play Place, 5 star ⭐️”

“Fantastic Nursery place with natural and forest School approach to learning”

“Excellent dance school. My daughter took part in their show. It was so polished and professional. I was particularly impressed at how every child taking ballet took part in a mini version of Peter Pan - the planning and prep on that alone! Extra rehearsals were laid on which meant juggling for parents but the results were outstanding.”

“We attended the open day on 11th march and we were very happy with the staff who answered all our questions patiently. Beautifully located nursery where kids get to be right next to a sports field”

“This is the second nursery we have tried in this area. It is far and away the best. The teachers are dedicated professionals (most are also Montessori trained in addition to EYFS training) who are obviously enjoying their work with children, and who are committed to Lemon Tree in the long term. In other words, unlike the other nursery we tried which had huge problems with staff turnover, the teachers at Lemon Tree know us, we know all of them, and most importantly they and the children know each other. Every week my partner and I talk about how relieved we are that our son is at Lemon Tree, and how confident we feel in the care and attention he is receiving there. They also have an enormous outdoor play area with real grass and trees, not just a carpark covered in astroturf. The children are given many opportunities for outside play and they integrate natural learning with their Montessori curriculum. I would recommend this place without qualification.”

“A great school that I attended 1960 - 1965. Teachers I remember Mr Rees, Mrs.fisher, Mrs. Coles all very strict but good.”

“A brilliant school! I was crying when I left at the end of year 6”

“Both of my children have attended this nursery. Staff are kind, attentive and professional. My children have always come home happy and content from being there. They have been superb during the pandemic. They are flexible to our needs when possible and really go the extra mile to do things for the kids. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing school with dedicated and caring staff AND its own radio station... watch out Capital radio!”

“Excellent pre-school lots of activities and great staff”

“Excellent nursery. Staff are very caring, attentive and develop the children. The setting is also fantastic in the park. Highly recommend.”
