Nurturing education in Orpington

“Great family run, friendly, caring and supportive. Brilliant for different ages and abilities.”

“My daughter joined stagecoach just a few months ago. I could see her change in a positive way as she grew her confidence. The show was fab and could see professional approach and a good story line.. really happy with Stagecoach Orpington.. looking forward to the main stage:) thank you”

“Great adult ballet class - good for balance, posture, stretching, etc., and all to lovely music with wonderful teacher. Ideal for beginners and those who have done ballet before, however long ago. 8-9pm Mondays at Orpington Village Hall except in school holidays.”

“My 11month old daughter has started here. I’m impressed with the professionalism of all the staff. They are very attentive with all the children. Facilities are great and a huge variety for every child’s needs. My baby comes home to me very happy indeed. Thank you team!”

“My daughter has been at Orpington montessori for over a year now and loves it there. She has never once been reluctant to go in, the opposite infact and has a great relationship with all the staff there, regardless of whether or not they are her key worker. The staff are attentive and helpful, children have so many different opportunities given to them and my daughter has made loads of progress in her phonics and writing which is entirely down to the work they do with her. Even when they changed the school day to a 3.30 finish which we couldn't manage, they were flexible and allowed us to continue with an earlier pick up as those were the hours we had already signed up for, with no charge. We haven't got a bad word to say about Orpington Montessori and had a great feel for it from the first time we visited. I recommend this preschool to everyone we know who lives locally and choose to drive to take my daughter there over more local options.”

“My little girl has been attending Little Elms Crofton for 3 months and I couldn’t be happier. I was so nervous when I knew I had to go back to work but the staff teams attention to care has put me at ease. Receiving observations on what she has been up too and a detailed email each week from the management team show the level of care and thought that goes into activities within the room. Overall amazing and I can’t wait to see how she grows and develops while spending time at the nursery!”

“St Olave's has a very nice, pleasant environment where students are able to strive, as well as feel comfortable around teachers. With the extra curricular activities students learn that the school is NOT all about the grades, but inspiring the future generation.”

“My child started here in September 2016 and has come on leaps. The staff show so much interest in the child and the place is massive”

“A stimulating, friendly pre school environment providing excellent facilities and outdoor space. My grand daughter attends here and is very happy and enjoys her time there.”

“I would like to take this opportunity thank Newstead Wood School for having Ms Bandali , a great teacher who can creates a sense of community and belonging in the classroom . She always discovers a unique and engaging way to teach in order to gain the skills and confidence to excel in the competitive world .She is so warm, accessible, enthusiastic and caring. Ms Bandali is a teacher who own love of learning. Thanks Newstead Wood school for having her.”

“I can’t recommend this nursery enough! My little boy Albie has had a tough time being separated from me and everyone at the Nursery have gone out of their way to make it as easy as possible. I’ve had phone calls, photos and so much advice and reassurance, I feel as though I’m leaving him with family, everyone is so kind and caring. My only regret is not finding this nursery sooner for my older children.”

“The advice from Luke, in preparation for my first professional casting, was absolute gold dust. This enabled me to walk into the room with confidence, knowing I was fully prepared for the experience. His knowledge of the industry is vast, and it was so useful to be able to work with him to ensure I gave the best version of myself to the casting director. Thoroughly recommended. Oh, and I got the job!”

“Great school great teachers great head teacher and brilliant sports facilities also after school. Club us great”

“I can’t praise Bright Beginnings enough. The staff are all wonderful. So caring, it’s like a home from home. My daughter and son both went to the pre-school and it set them up perfectly for reception. They go the extra mile with summer sports events, nativity, little outings to the local area and regular updates to parents on how little ones are doing. They both raced in every morning. It’s was so lovely to see. I would highly recommend anyone taking a look around to see what they have to offer.”
