Physical activity in Woodford Green

“Absolutely wonderful nursery. Management and care staff always go above and beyond. Absolutely beautiful building aswell. Thanks again to the Monkey Puzzle Woodford team!”

“Very friendly gym. Nice and cheerful staff. Used the Gym for a long time, loved the Body Pump classes and the main gym area. Few machines can be replaced but again you are not paying through the roof to get into a 5 star facility. It is a good gym and a nice bunch of people. Good timings and decently maintained. Recommended.”

“our kid is happy there, and she's really built up her confidence. you get a sense that the staff at the nursery really cares for the kiddies.”

“To whom it may concern I don’t normally send emails like this but a group of school children from Ray Lodge Primary School got on my tube carriage yesterday on my daily commute into London. Normally the whole carriage sighs (as they do not want to hear (or see) school children in the morning but this group was very different. They sat quietly and read their books and were simply the best behaved children I have ever seen. I know someone else commented on the tube too to the teacher in charge. I have lived in Woodford for over 20 years and actually sent my daughter to Churchfields school but having seen those children yesterday I would have certainly reconsidered that choice now. Whoever the teacher was that was in charge of them was brilliant, she completely had all those children under control at all times. Kind regards Jenny”

“Nannie Annie’s is the best nursery I have ever seen. I was lucky to have the pleasure of sending both of my children here. they have by far exceeded my expectations and offer so much more than just a normal nursery. My children were nurtured in a very loving environment but at the same time, mastered independence. Each member of staff is first class, so attentive, keeping parents updated at every step of the way. The curriculum would rival most schools and you can tell that Nannie Annie’s ethos is about raising each child individually. the celebrations, themes and resources are outstanding and I truly believe that my children will thrive after having the best start within this nursery. Would highly recommend! Outstanding!”

“I have been a patient of Ian Cowell at Brook Physiotherapy for many, many years and that came after a recommendation. I have never known a physiotherapist who can shine a light anywhere near Ian. He is the absolute best and his practice is second to none. As well as being highly skilled, Ian and his team are honest and principled and always put patient care at the centre of everything they do. I simply can't recommend Ian and his team enough - it's a shame I only get to see Ian formally when there's something wrong!”

“Outstanding school, compassionate staff and effective teachers. Parent of Wells Primary pupil x 3”

“My son attends Wells (All Saints) pre school and we have found it to be an amazing setting that has taken our shy boy and helped him grow in to a confident outgoing individual with friends. Even though he is only 2 1/2 the pre school have got him excited about reading and he loves the fact he has a new book every week. Our fridge is covered in his pre Christmas art work and as someone who has worked for charities I have been really impressed how much the staff have worked with the children to get involved with different initiatives - my sons favourite was the shoe box appeal. If you want a smaller family orientated setting then I would definitely recommend this pre school”

“I started school in st Antony's in 1952 . My name was Sheila Hyland . I have good memories. I loved drawing and I heard a picture I drew was on a wall there for many years after .”

“I have two children at Mallards Wood. The nursery has a real family feel due to the intimate setting & the staff, who are always extremely friendly, approachable & enthusiastic. You can tell they really care about the children from the way they engage with them, but also the way in which my children respond to & talk about the staff, who they have both formed strong bonds with. The activities are diverse, creative & engaging, whilst also helping with the children’s learning & development. Any issues we have had have always been dealt with swiftly & professionally. Meals are made on site & are varied & healthy. What really sets the nursery apart is the way in which staff always go the extra mile. From Birthday parties, to summer fetes, graduation ceremonies & ways of communicating & engaging with pupils & parents during lockdown – the time, effort & consideration the staff put in is priceless.”
