Social skills development in Richmond

“Outdoor Owls is just not a nursery, they offer a very inclusive and holistic way to explore the beautiful world we inhabit and they do it with so much presence and love. This has been so important in the development of our child.Though it has only been few months, the changes we get to see in him are profound. The way his sense of expression and self confidence has developed in this relatively short period of time is incredible. He has started to tell stories, make new friends and get comfortable with new people around. Everytime we pick and drop him the space feels so alive! The enthusiasm of the children mixed with the freshness of nature, it is always a treat to be in that energetic space even for few minutes. A lot of work and effort goes into being around and manage so many kids in the outdoors, but the teachers do it so effortlessly. They are so committed to their wellbeing. They are the perfect nurtures and a home away from home. Outdoors has been very important to us growing up so we were very excited for our child but Outdoor Owls turned out to be much more than what we expected, they are a perfect place to lay the foundation. I would highly recommend sending kids to an actual forest school/nursery like Outdoor Owls for a holistic physical, mental and emotional development.”

“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!”

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

“We love Diddi dance and we love Mona. So much energy, enthusiasm and fun.”

“Having done a variety of courses at RACC including web development, photography, painting and drawing and currently creative glass I can fully recommend the quality of the teaching as being outstanding. The facilities at the college are great particularly the new art block and you get to use software and equipment which you wouldn't be able to afford to buy.”

“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.”

“Good food and kind teachers”

“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!”

“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.”

“My daughter was at KISH for over two years and she loved it! The staff are caring, the educational programme excellent and I love the forest school concept. Can highly recommend them.”

“Great school，friendly teachers.”

“Excellent nursery”

“My daughter attended for 2 years and it was a wonderful time. The school team is sensational, very well prepared and attentive. We are very happy with this 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.”

“Really great staff and perfect place for my daughter.”

“Very caring, efficient and reliable service!”

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

“How lucky we were to find this amazing nursery. My boys started here just before their 2nd birthday and have absolutely thrived under the care of all the wonderful staff here. Not only have they helped my boys grow into wonderful, caring, inquisitive and very healthy 4 year olds they have given them an amazing educational grounding ready to start their school journey in the next few months. They both have a wonderful grasp of phonics, a deep love of numbers, can write their own names, sing numerous songs in mandarin and have truly developed a love of nature. I'm frequently being told what is and isn't 'good for the planet'. The nursery setting couldn't be more delightful, right in the middle of Marble Hill park, which essentially becomes their extended playground on daily visits out. I can't recommend this place highly enough.”

“My four children attended St Edmund's and all were very happy. They received an excellent all-round education from an experienced and caring staff, in a warm but ambitious environment. I am now a governor at St Edmund's and am impressed every single time I attend the school for visits or meetings, at the absolute passion that all school staff have to ensure that every single child makes excellent progress and learns lifelong skills. I can't recommend this school highly enough, I am proud of my children and what they have achieved and give a good part of the credit for this to St Edmund's.”

“Tuesday and Thursday morning sessions are brilliant! My kids love it. Amazing facilities staff are kind, attentive and professional. There is a huge outdoor filled with everything you could want and a great indoor space for arts crafts kitchens etc. Probably suitable from 1-4”

“Excellent school very dedicated staff”

“It is the best school I have ever been to I love it”

“My two boys (5 and 7) attend the school. They are happy and go into school with no fuss whatsoever. Oasis has a strong focus on emotional wellbeing. They try to ensure the children are aware of their emotions (so important at the moment) and have excellent SEN provision with a special classroom dedicated to this. The school is relatively new, but the staff work so incredibly hard and are so invested in the children. We love it and our boys are very happy.”

“This is an amazing school!!!!”

“Fantastic School”

“So far the school is excellent”
