Educational institution quality in Richmond

“Both my daughters have been to Katey's House in Ham - I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. It's such a wonderful place for the little ones to thrive. It's in a lovely setting with access to lots of green space; the kids learn about all sorts of fascinating things and even grow their own food and bake their own bread every Friday. The staff are both professional and warm with the children and give you every confidence in their level of care. The preparation for "big school" is also excellent - with an adorable graduation ceremony and lots of talking to prepare them for the milestone. In short, so much effort goes into making the children feel loved and happy, and both my daughters have thrived there.”

“Quirky little theatre has a popular following. Owing to small size it is very cosy and social distancing is difficult.”

“My youngest daughter went to this Saturday school a year and a half ago after covid. My daughter was 7 years old at that time and she completely resisted the language. Online lessons, she cried and sat on the floor at the table, for lessons at home, it was difficult for us with the schedule and we decided to set aside Saturday for studying the Russian language in classes. My daughter is making great progress, she has a girlfriend there, she goes to school with pleasure. Administrator Olga is very responsive and attentive, helps us decide cottages and questions. We have a very positive experience.”

“PQA Richmond is simply the best performing school that both my daughters have attended. They have been at PQA Richmond for over five years and have loved every minute of it. Oliver and his team of teachers are outstanding, very attentive, approachable and caring. They create a warm environment where your child is always encouraged and supported in building their confidence to reach their goals. My daughters have had the opportunity to perform in the West End, Richmond theatre, Ham House (Shakespeare in the park), and many other prestigious venues. They have been involved in many musical theatre performances, as well as film making, both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes; directing, editing, make up and set design. The practical application of creative training that goes into creating full productions from start to finish is one that has given immeasurable value and skills to my daughters and all the young actors and film makers there.The school develops their skills in a completely immersive way, which incentivises them to explore technique, take risks and really take charge of their own development as creatives. PQA Richmond is a wonderful community to be part of and my daughters have formed many strong friendships there, as well as developing great performing arts skill. Above all, they have learned that it is all about teamwork, no one role is rated above another, everyone counts and the young actors are incredibly supportive of each other’s successes, this is due to the excellent example set by Oliver and his team of teachers; they are a constant font of inspiration. Thank you for being such stars!”

“Great college with very good tutors that care about the wellbeing and progress of students. Made some cool friends while there.In my vfx course I got lots of resources and industry standard software for 3d modelling. My tutor was engaging and funny.”

“Having done a variety of courses at RACC including web development, photography, painting and drawing and currently creative glass I can fully recommend the quality of the teaching as being outstanding. The facilities at the college are great particularly the new art block and you get to use software and equipment which you wouldn't be able to afford to buy.”

“My son goes to this school and he's very happy. The headmaster Mr Mundy-Castle is a very positive and inspiring man. The progression this school is going through is quite brilliant. I have no doubt that RPA will go from Good to Outstanding in the next Ofsted report and it doesn't surprise me more and more East Sheen and Barnes families are now sending their kids here. Sixth Form students are now leaving here to go to Oxford. I felt compelled to leave a review because all the One Star reviews I'm reading on here don't seem to ring true with what we're seeing.”

“Both my children have loved going to nursery here. The staff are lovely and speak to the children with kindness and respect. All the rooms lead out onto the gardens and the kids have a lot of space to play on bikes. My eldest learnt how to ride a balance bike at nursery. The food is fresh, delicious and filling. Most importantly my daughter is happy and loves attending nursery. Keep up the good work”

“I attended beginner ballet class with Natasha and it was a good way to go back into ballet after years of stop! The teacher is amazing and the space is very nice and clean!”

“Lovely helpful staff. Interest program for kids under 5 and parents.”

“Great Service, everyone at the front desk is great, very polite and know what they are doing. Dr Dinesh has been amazing, has done my check ups for nearly a year now and recently performed a deep filling procedure. Always makes sure you’re comfortable and fully informed. He made sure I was absolutely satisfied with the results and answered all question informativly. Will be sticking with this practice and Dr Dinesh for as long as I can!!”

“Fantastic school, does a good Job of teaching it's pupils I recommend this every parent”

“We play badminton & it's fantastic experience. Great friendly service (thanks Paul) & easy access.”

“This is the only dental practice I have ever used that I recommend. I was referred here approximately 11 years ago as I have weak gums. I now see a hygienist, dentist and periodontal specialist all at this practice.”

“We tried a few different sensory classes, and this was by far the best. Lots of varied props, toys and instruments. Julia is always so welcoming and enthusiastic.”

“Most impressed with Physio Extra shockwave clinic , Leon the shockwave expert displayed wealth of knowledge & full understanding of my condition ( my 2 yrs stubborn & painful Achilles tendinitis ) , he uses the best Focused shockwave machine that is really cured my pain ! as I used radial shockwave in other clinics in London, the Focused Shockwave is much more superior & much more effective.. what more is the cost was very reasonable in comparison to other clinics in London ( especially the fact Physio Extra uses Focused Shockwave) .. Leon explained exactly how it works, the planned treatment programme & provided me with home injury management programme. Physio Extra has a professional clinic with friendly waiting room & staff , I highly recommend them.”

“As someone who has worked with young people at an academic level before, I congratulate all teachers at Stegecoach Kew. My son is 11 y and English is his second language. He enjoyed every workshop he attended. Indeed, the Stagecoach Kew became a place my son wanted to go to every day. There are hearty, cheerful workshops and teachers that I can sincerely recommend to every parent, that add enthusiasm to children's lives, and support children's social, academic and most importantly pedagogical development.”

“Hi my name is Katharina, I am a university student studying early childhood education and part of my study is to do some work experience in an educational setting. I chose to work at the Monkey puzzle Nursery in Sheen because it’s close to my university, safe, it’s a nice area, a small nursery too that has every age group and the team that works there is super friendly and makes you feel like you are part of their little family.”

“Teachers and all the staff are amazing, espcially special thanks to Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Jane O'Brien. I think the building is pretty nice and big enough as well. But what we liked most was their professional approach and teaching methods which we couldn't see in other nurseries.”

“A very nice, happy, welcoming school with great, facilities and helpful teachers when I was a student there. A brand new building is being constructed on site at the moment so I suspect it will be even better in the future.”
