Physical activity 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.”

“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!”

“I had my surgery for a total left hip replacement at west Middlesex hospital on the 5th August 2020. Arjuna was my surgeon and looked after me with his team from day 1. I was the first day surgery case patient for a total hip replacement at the hospital (which is exploring new ways of working given the Covid environment backdrop). My personal experience with the team at west Middlesex has been fantastic and I would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a great unit and indeed a great surgeon / consultant for surgery. The initial consultation for sign off for surgery, the pre - operative assessment and talking through the surgery procedure were all carried out with a high level of due care and clinical excellence. I felt as a patient that the over riding priority was achieving a great clinical outcome for me and my surgery. The day of the surgery was very well co ordinated and went smoothly. Admission was straightforward, I was administered local Anaesthetic and the surgery took around 2 hours. I arrived at 7.30am and was discharged around 7pm the same day. Just brilliant. Since discharge I have been in constant contact with Arjuna and the team and the physio unit. I have also had two follow up appointments where Arjuna has held office himself directly. I am now nearly 7 weeks post surgery and progressing well and will be back to see In 3 months time for an assessment and x ray on the new joint. Thank you to Arjuna and the whole west Middlesex team for their care and passion. They have cleverly demonstrated the high value of keeping these important services local. If you would like to follow my journey please follow me on Instagram at @hip_pain_problems. Thank you”

“Very good soccer classes for children of various ages. Plenty of space, different teachers and a very good atmosphere.”

“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!”

“First time ever going into Up & Running shop and was an outstanding experience thanks to Luke. He was so professional, helpful, kind, and friendly. I was given plenty of good suggestions. I will be returning in the near future. Thank you.”

“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.”

“My local place for Badminton”

“really lovely pool. really clean and well managed, life guards are super friendly and pleasant, not too expensive for an hour swim with lots of different memberships available. and really nice glass walls so very light and spacious”

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

“My son has been attending lessons with SG for almost a year. It has been my son's favourite activity. His teacher-coach (Mr Alan) is friendly&knowledgable and makes the lesson a lot of fun. He has a kind nature&very empathetic. All thanks to Alan! You’re an amazing teacher. I’m very happy that they will be together in the next term.”

“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.”

“The best multi-skills programme for kids about!”

“I had the best result of wrinkle-relaxing treatment on my forehead and nasolabial line treatments by using dermal fillers. Dr Salimi explains all procedures very well, by discussing the best options and coming up with the best one and reaching an agreement for that. He uses the best material that are available in the market and I have never had any complications after his treatments. I definitely recommend him to anyone for aesthetic treatments.”

“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.”

“Wonderful school”

“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.”

“Excellent nursery”

“Wholeheartedly recommend. Our elder daughter has had two very happy and fulfilling years here and our younger daughter will hopefully start here later this year. Teaching staff have been excellent throughout and are totally dedicated to the children in every way.”

“Loved my time there”

“Roman is a fantastic martial arts teacher and we feel so lucky to have found him. Not only is he technically brilliant - and this alone sets him apart - he is also kind, clever, decent and good fun. He effortlessly manages the interruptions of me, my husband and my overly affectionate 4 year old whilst teaching my 11 year old in a way that is professional, fun and inspiring. We wouldn’t be without him. He is a brilliant teacher and a lovely guy.”

“Hey miss JP it’s the girl with red patent shoes hope your still there”

“Great school. Both my boys thrived there”
