Music and movement in Welling

“When I first started dancing tango 18 months ago, I went around London trying out different classes and teachers but was not satisfied with the progress I was making. I then travelled to Italy, Switzerland, and Germany and many other cities looking for the same but to no avail. One fine day, I met David in a Tango festival in London and he invited me to his classes. When I completed my first lesson with David and Kim I knew this was the place for me and these were my teachers from then on. As I continued the lessons under David and Kim's teaching, I was making rapid progress. As far as I am concerned in terms of elegance and style in Argentinian tango dancing, there is no other couple to match them in London. Their classes are extremely well structured and David is a very strict and passionate teacher who never gives up on his students. Kim and David ensure that you don’t leave the class unless you have learnt what was taught on that day. What is important in tango dancing, like anything else in life, is the continuity of lessons with a particular teacher. It is a good idea sometimes to try different workshops but you need one teacher whose style connects with you. David and Kim’s lessons are not just a series of tango moves but instruct you on how to dance with complete elegance and grace. Above all they are the only tango teachers I came across who are not totally money orientated and are more concerned with improving student performance on a weekly basis, building great relationships with their students and show genuine care for each and every student. If anybody wants to learn how to dance tango with elegance and feeling then David and Kim are your teachers.”

“Really good place 2 take kids there's no pressure to talk to mums of it not confident and good interaction with group sing songs”

“Have just started ballet lessons at Rickmansworth school with Penny. Absolutely love the lessons, Penny is brilliant and makes the lessons fun as well as productive. Would definitely reccomend these classes.”

“I have been taking my child to Tappy Toes in Rickmansworth for the last 2 years. The lessons are just the right length and structure, giving little ones a chance to enjoy the music and dancing, but also learn to listen to instruction along the way. We didn't go for the online Zoom classes during Covid as that didn't work for us, but I appreciated that Tappy Toes were making an effort to bring the dance classes into families' homes and I thought the price they offered for the virtual classes was very reasonable. Since being back in person, I have felt very happy. All adults wear face masks, there are individual spots for each carer/child to dance around and hand sanitiser available. The door was also left open allowing fresh air to flow. We had the chance to purchase our own prop bag (pom poms, dance ribbon) which we liked (and the cost was again, reasonable), but they do have props on hand should you not go for this or forget. I should also mention that my child found going back to class difficult and the team at Tappy Toes dealt with this very sensitively and proactively. I would definitely recommend them.”

“Great classes and a great workout, lovely bunch of ladies x”

“fantastic classes providing children the opportunity to learn creatively, building their confidence and self esteem. The staff are friendly and very helpful guiding the children every step in developing their creative ability. Keep up the good work!”

“I really love this class! It is the perfect combination of a workout and actually learning how to dance. Sam does a great job at catering to all levels but also keeping it challenging (I was super sweaty after the class haha) I’d say that if you love moving and are looking for a class with great music and positive vibes you should definitely give it a try.”

“My nearly 2 year old loves going to nursery. It's such a weight off our minds as parents to know he's having fun and being well cared for. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents. When I first visited I was impressed by the facilities and how calm and well organised everything seemed. My son has been attending for almost a year now and it's lived up to expectations. All staff are friendly and helpful, both in the office and in my son's room. He has formed a particularly strong bond with his key worker who is fantastic. The communication with parents is excellent and I really appreciate the daily reports and weekly newsletters that get sent home. They've been especially helpful this year while parents haven't been able to enter the building due to Covid safety measures. It's helped us stay connected to what he gets up to at nursery everyday. The nursery have dealt with the covid situation fantastically this year, despite all the challenges. I'm very grateful.”

“Great activities to help develop and stimulate young children. Friendly and nice staff. Ignore the previous bad review - highly recommended.”

“My daughter started in 2018 at age 1. Since the new manager Laura took control the nursery is much better and my daughter enjoys it more than before. Clean, reliable and lots of fun activities for the kids to learn!”

“I recently visited Asquith Bromley and was happily surprised by the warm welcome from the team.The nursery looks fantastic and the children looked really well looked after and very happy indeed. I had a lovely tour of the nursery and felt a real sense of safety and care from the team. I would definitely recommend the nursery to all parents living in the area.”

“Both my children have attended Maples over the last 4 years. We have been very happy with everything. The staff are fantastic and we will be very sad when our youngest leaves soon. I genuinely can't fault it. Highly recommend Maples.”

“Absolutely fantastic nursery! I have been working here for nearly 8 months and this nusrery has been the best of my experiences so far.Here children are in safe hands and don't feel far from home as we create such a fun and interactive environment. The management is very cooperative and motivating.The staff has always ready to help me on a number of occasions.I will highly recommend parents to join this outstanding nursery.”

“Good place for kid to grow and develop Spacious and clean”

“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”

“Little Kits were brilliant. We had the woodland picnic set-up for my daughter's seventh birthday party and she loved it! Everything was beautiful and made for a very special afternoon tea party. Thank you!”

“Brilliant nursery, I have two children at nursery and they both thoroughly enjoy it. All staff are caring, supportive and nurturing. The environment is educational yet fun. Well done all :)”

“AYB is like a little family that is constructive, helpful and so brilliantly encouraging. I've been dancing for a long time but I stopped with I reached adulthood (mostly due to finding adult classes a bit sterile or not very amicable). AYB is a WHOLE different story. My first in person class, I felt like a part of the team. It's super inclusive, super friendly and super motivating. Highly recommend joining the squad!”
