Top 30 Best Parents 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.”

“Fantastic groomer's all round! I've been taking my dog here for well over a year now and the team is absolutely incredible. They are super hard working, very professional and always take such great care of my dog every time we go. Special shout out to Robbie he's so helpful and caring, I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog with him and the team because I know he's in such great hands. I haven't had the best experience with dog groomer's in the past so finding this team has been a God send! Unfortunately I don't know the other gentleman's name but he cut my dog's hair the last few times and he is insanely talented! BEST DOG GROOMER'S IN TOWN!!! Literally the only place I will ever go to get my dogs hair cut. Thanks a million to Robbie and the team.”

“Julia's well thought out classes are filled with ideas, of which I've taken and practice at home. Her classes are very organized, with a different theme each week, keeping the little ones entranced! You can tell she truly enjoys her job, her energy is endless!”

“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”

“Madeleine was amazing. She showed us how to put on the carrier we had bought and made us more confident in using it with our baby. She was very knowledgeable in so many different baby sling/carrier types and gave us loads of info and tips. Highly recommend attending her classes!!”

“We can't thank the staff enough for supporting our son with his dental treatment. They take a lot of care and time to communicate clearly which is exactly what my son needed. They are very open and the focus on primary prevention is evident right from the get go. We couldn't be happier with the service. My son certainly was!!”

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

“Great child-friendly place to get a haircut. The lady that washed and cut my daughter's hair was super friendly and made sure I was happy with the length. She also gave her some treats, which she really liked. The man at the desk was also very helpful and polite. Overall a good and relaxed experience.”

“A nice little park. Since it's located a bit inside, i don think it's usually crowded. A very calm place with safe slides, swing etc to play for the kids.”

“My kids (3.5 and 2 years old) love going to the One O’Clock Club (for kids 0-5 years). It is now open till 5pm, giving more time to play after napping. The Playground is very safe - no swings or big slides or high climbing. And there are great play-workers there playing with the kids and doing all sorts of activities. That means I can relax and enjoy a cup of coffee!!! And yes - there is great coffee there now as well!! The kids can play inside and outside, so a great place to come rain or shine. Our favorite so far has been the big sand pit with a parasol over it. There is also a brilliant Adventure Playground for over 5s, where the kids play independently and the parents are not allowed. You can go in together on the family days (first Saturday of every month) with the younger ones as well. My daughter absolutely loved it! Disclaimer: I am one of the trustees of the charity that operates the playcentres. So you can see I am very excited about it :)) Come and try yourself!!! And feel free to ask any questions.”

“I contacted their customer service support for help with a product that I wanted to purchase. They responded to me within minutes! They were so professional and accommodating. Which is so rare nowadays. I have now finalised my purchase and I had a great customer experience. To top it off I also got the cheapest price available out there! I had to leave this review as I would recommend the Bella baby shop to any mom who just wants to shop in peace with great customer service and experience overall. Thanks Chiara for your support. Love love love xxx”

“A lovely inclusive community school in a beautiful Victorian building”

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

“A school with a heart! Both of my children have been lucky enough to attend Holy Trinity. Excellent teachers, who go above and beyond. This year during homeschooling the online teaching was exceptional. My oldest has just left to attend secondary school and we feel she was really well prepared for the transition from primary school. I couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Sudbrook is a lovely school, the children are loved and taught and come out with a good background. There is a great mix of physical and mental work coupled with healthy amounts of play. Honestly we could have done with having longer hours but if that's the worst problem then they are doing very very well. Highly recommended for your little ones. Not recommended as a sixth form college :) ......................”

“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.”
