Top 30 Best Friendships in Welling

“Richmond is a great place to work, it feels like a really diverse, friendly, international community. We’ve got really exciting times ahead in 2022 with a move to a new campus in Chiswick Park, accommodation available for our students in IQ Haywood House in West Hampstead and we are celebrating our 50th year. Great that our students put Richmond as one of the top five London universities for satisfaction levels in the quality of the course in the 2021 National Student Survey (NSS).”

“Piano Week in December 2020 was a wonderful experience. I am a piano/music novice with just over a year experience and as an adult learner, I wanted an experience with first rate teachers in a comfortable environment to gauge where I was and how to move forward. Piano Week exceeded every expectation. I was able to work on a variety of pieces and accomplished several "firsts" - performing in front of others (virtually), composing, improvisation, while also getting wonderful coaching on how to polish a piece, how to start a piece, technical exercises, organizing practice time, etc. I walked away inspired by the quality of the teachers and grateful they were able to connect with a novice player, pick me up where I was and give me some tools to move forward! Wonderful chance to get focused exposure to world class musicians and teachers. I took the class remotely from the comfort of home but the logistics and attention to detail were very professional! Wonderful professional staff, great participants - highly recommended!”

“Thomas Jones is an exceptional school with highly dedicated staff. They maintain extremely high standards through providing both support and nurture for children to achieve. The energy and focus of the staff raises the expectations not just of the school but of the whole community.”

“My son Harri has been attending the WMF academy at Beckenham for several months now. The coaching team are first class, and have really helped him develop over this last year. I really like that all abilities are catered for and the sessions are fun and challenging at the same time. I have attended a number of different academy’s over the years, but we make footballers is by far the best. The holiday camps are particularly good, and Harri attended both the summer camp and the half term camps this year, in fact they were the highlight of the summer holidays for my son!! I can thoroughly recommend WMF for anyone wanting excellent football coaching and a fun environment for the kids to learn and make friends. Thanks to all the team there, Harri has loved it!!”

“If you are in the area I can’t recommend this gym enough! I dropped in for a trial class as I was staying up in London for the week, and was warmly welcomed by the instructors and other students upon arrival. The coaches were extremely friendly and the class structure was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. To top this all off, the head coach was kind enough to roll with me during the sparring portion of the class, which was a thorough outclassing- but that is what we come for! I will definitely be attending Luciano’s school again, and encourage anyone local to the Camden/Kentish town area to check it out for themself! Thank you for hosting me.”

“I’ve learned in this studio for a year, half of grade four and half of grade five and I have enjoyed every lesson very much. The teachers have taught me a lot and were always there to support me and help me grow. I have accomplished a lot this year and I am very glad I chose to go to this studio. Even though I’ve been in the studio for a short time I have connected with the teachers and students and had a great environment to learn. Really recommend for everyone, beginner or a long term dancer, the studio is very welcoming and helpful!”

“For the past year, I've been learning to dance Brazilian Zouk and I can safely say, this school is easily one of the best dance schools to learn in. Everything from the venue, the facilities, the events, the styles and, most importantly, the teachers and students are incredible. You will instantly feel welcome here and you will be taught with a lot of attention, care and dedication by Pedrinho and Linda and their team. If you want to be a good dancer, then this is the place to do it. Looking forward to seeing you on the dance floor. ;)”

“I have nothing but praise for Stagecoach Leatherhead. Allison and her team are truly fantastic, dedicated and passionate. They are inspiring teachers who make sure that all children achieve their potential and have a great time doing so. My elder daughter was with Stagecoach Leatherhead for 8 years, my younger daughter is still there. It remains the highlight of her week! She has come on leaps and bounds in confidence, musicality, dance skills and acting skills. It is a school that caters for all abilities, from aspiring already talented performers to those with special needs, who may need a little more help and as such is truly inclusive.”

“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.”

“Our 8 month old kitten had her first stay at Meow Manor for 10 days. The Cattery is modern and very clean. We were worried about leaving Ruby for the first time but Karon and Molly are very friendly and really looked after her. Would use again and highly recommend.”

“Dudley was overdue his cut and looked pretty rough before his trip to Poppy's Paws. Very pleased with the cut. He came home chilled and has shown no stiffness in his legs as with previous grooming, he has hip issue. Excellent care given and we now have our handsome golden boy back. Well done Monique and thank you.”

“Football has Messi, basketball has Michael Jordan. Cooking has Richard. This man can do things with an oven that would make Gordon Ramsay question if he’s in the right field of employment. We visited on Sunday for a roast and let me tell you, ol’ Rick knows his way around a piece of beef. Our generation may have been born too late to discover the world and too early to discover outer space, but we’ve been born at exactly the right moment to enjoy a delicious meal at Richard’s Kitchen.”

“I am a professional nanny and have been taking children to Dolphins swim school for many years, including my own son. The instructors are fantastic and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. They allow make up classes for missed sessions due to illness etc, which is amazing. The changing rooms are well equipped and clean, and the soft play area is a nice bonus. Highly recommended!”

“Both my boys have taken part in Non Stop sessions since they were 7 years old. The care, consideration and patience is fantastic. Would highly recommend to any family considering sports/dance classes for their children”

“I cannot speak too highly of Swimming Lessons London’s teaching techniques and teacher Theo in particular. I was past retirement age when I decided that I must overcome my long held fear of the water, and it was only a matter of a few lessons with Theo before I began to gain confidence. Theo was incredibly patient, helpful and encouraging and systematically worked on improving my capability, technique and stamina. It all goes to show that it’s never too late to start, no matter how old you are. Highly recommended for everyone.”

“Great groomers, I'm always happy with my dogs groom and the staff are really friendly”

“Brilliant service. Great atmosphere and the food was as good as I had in Malaga. Derek”

“Best Greek food in Surrey! Fast, good value, and most importantly delicious. I have been going here for years and will keep coming back!”

“Lovely place! Plenty of seating, the decor is very nice and cosey. The lady who owns it is just so lovely and welcoming and to top it off the food is delicious and reasonable priced and the special teas are so tasty. (Wishing tree is a nice touch too) Will definitely be going back”

“I cannot recommend Ealing Independent College highly enough. My daughter had been having a difficult time at her previous school and Ealing Independent was recommended to me by another parent. I will always be grateful that I sent her there, as the College was absolutely transformational for my daughter. First of all the standard of teaching is truly excellent, with small class sizes and extremely dedicated teachers. Having come from a school with large classes, my daughter found the difference quite incredible and she was able to make fast improvement in all her subjects with the extra individual attention provided. The teachers at the College really do go above and beyond and were quick to identify any areas of struggle and provided extra support wherever necessary. During 'lockdown' the College adapted so quickly and the students were provided with a regular school day 'on line' which was very helpful, providing structure and a sense of normality during a time of upheaval. As well as the excellent academic provision, the pastoral and social side of the school is also outstanding. It is a warm, caring and supportive environment with all staff at every level treating their students with kindness and respect. All the students there were very happy and loved the atmosphere, and I experienced this too as a parent at parent's evenings and events. My daughter did extremely well in her GCSES, achieving top grades, thanks to the support and superb teaching she received at Ealing Independent. I cannot recommend the College highly enough. It is an absolute gem of a place and I know that any student who attends there will receive the best education, as well as enjoying a very happy and constructive learning environment.”

“My son started nursery there and I just move my daughter she is in year 1, she loves the teachers and the school that's what makes me comfortable and happy when you see your children love a school. Very caring teachers and very discipline school.”

“Come and see for yourself what New North has to offer its pupils! Rated Good by Ofsted and with great Key Stage 2 results, the Academy really has been transformed over the last few years.”

“Very friendly work place .good value for your hard work.”

“Amazing place with amazing food. I had the Turkish Breakfast alongside the vegetarian pasta bake. The staff were really nice. I was served by Connor, I think that was his name as well as Ayna. The hot chocolate was delicious and I liked the creamy top, it was very chocolately. Highly recommend this place if you’re ever by Elephant & Castle.”

“Brilliant youth organisation. Be sure to enter your kid for scouting.”

“Daughter attended the nursery and absolutely loved it. Staff are kind, caring and dedicated, cannot recommend enough.”

“My dog slipped his disc and was in a very bad state, the vets were quoting £2000 for an MRI scan to see if they could do a £6000 operation… I found zoomadog online and saw their back brace whilst we were giving him medication and waiting for his review from the vets,the back brace saved him, it worked wonders, he can now run about again after only 2 days of having it on, it supports his back and prevents him flexing the way that causes damage! Amazing! He can also sleep in it comfortably too! Definitely worth the money!”

“Lovely little walk around the lake at the back of Bluewater. Wished I had known about it when my daughter was younger. "The very hungry caterpillar" trail to follow, answering questions along the way. Fact boards dotted about the trail with info on different wildlife around the site. Little wooden play area. Can feed the ducks/geese but signs say NO BREAD. Bird seed or defrosted peas is better. Will go again!”

“Very nice Indian Street food. Lot's of variety and quick turnaround. The Dabeli is most popular as it has authentic taste of Gujarat, India. Available in normal and toasted, it's a must try. Friendly staff, speak English and Gujarati. They also sell a range of Indian savoury items from various nasto, mitaai sweets, freshly made and packed ready aswell.”

“The service was great, the food (Chicken Pad Thai) was AMAZING and the lychee martini was good. Would totally recommend this place to anyone that wants to try a chicken pad Thai for the first time. The food is reasonably priced but the cocktails are a bit expensive considering there wasn't a lot of alcohol in it.”
