Socially 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.”

“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.”

“Had some treatment done here recently to remove some worts on my face. The clinic was recommended to me by a friend after I was struggling to find a decent clinic that would provide a professional service and not overcharge. Skin rich provides a course of treatment based on individual needs with follow up & also advise on skin care and facial products according to your skin type. I found them to be very professional and knowledgeable as well as being really nice people. They gave me a very warm welcome at my initial consultation which put me at ease straight away. The clinic itself is also very professional looking so you do really get what you pay for! I would highly recommend.”

“Very friendly, smiley service. Great coffee and pastries. Haven’t tried the food yet, that pleasure yet to come. Great outdoor seating area. Love it.”

“My daughter lives in Richmond and this is out go to place every morning I am here. Usually just coffee, which by the way is superb. We had Breakfast this time around though and it was fantastic.”

“We travelled down here today from Esher so my son could try the açaí bowl. They were about to close but stayed open for us, which was very nice. My son said the açaí bowl was excellent.”

“We went as a big family group on New Year’s Eve and had such a great time, we thought we’d go back just the two of us today. Antonio looked after us so well. Lovely window table overlooking the river. The food was divine. We’ll be going back real soon.”

“Went for a large group roast dinner. Fantastic cut of beef (sirloin), great wine list, service was friendly, super efficient and very attentive. Best roast in Richmond!”

“Staff were friendly and the beer was good all added up to a great place to watch rugby”

“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!”

“Richmond is a great place to work, it feels like a really diverse, friendly, international community. We’ve got really exciting times ahead in 2022 with a move to a new campus in Chiswick Park, accommodation available for our students in IQ Haywood House in West Hampstead and we are celebrating our 50th year. Great that our students put Richmond as one of the top five London universities for satisfaction levels in the quality of the course in the 2021 National Student Survey (NSS).”

“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.”

“Incredible restaurant! Such lovely service Sam was lovely as well as the waiter. We where walking around for ages and came across this place. They had a generous Tuesday night deal on so we got to try lots of yummy foods. Would highly recommend to any Indian food lovers! Will defiantly be returning in the furture”

“Always made to feel welcome in this wonderful place. Delicious home-cooked food in an idyllic riverside location. Very casual and relaxed.”

“Wufwuf has quality products from treats to toys. Natural, safe and creative. The customer service is what we love the most so friendly & attentive. Highly recommend!”

“English breakfast and the smoothies were delicious. Small place but plenty of options.”

“Great Classes and asmotphere. I attended a Bachata Workshop on a Saturday for 3 hours. From the begining it was very professional as we were explained the method and how we would develop our learning every hour. Groups were divided into levels and before we danced we started with a warming up process. Both teacher (Jeff and Mia) explained every doubt we had. I personally recommend both the classes and workshop if you like to go a bit deeper ;) .”

“Super friendly and efficient, Finlay feels like a new dog with his super sharp hair cut.”

“Found Crown Garages by way of recommendation on Next Door when I needed to get my MOT done in the midst of COVID restrictions, and used them again for a battery issue and most recently the first annual service since buying my car second hand. What a gem this place is. Local, so saves me £30 in Uber fees back and forth to a dealership that never picks up the phone or calls you back for any service booking requests - and fantastic service from Barry and Dean. Barry talked me through the next service due and suggested getting that and the MOT sorted at the same time. Highly recommend and will be using them from now on.”

“Great find! Easy to reach, excellent food, each came with a twist, great taste. Versatile options on the menu. Good and relaxed service and atmosphere. Will come again to try all the items on the menu.”

“What a lovely place. Always fun to go there . We been regular for few years now. Staff is polite.”

“Great shop with a big selection of quality wines. Also, a great spot to sit with a glass indoors or outside.”

“A cosy French resto in Kew! Their menu is written in English and offers elegant, tasty dishes such as roasted Barbary duck breast with cardamom jus and peach and lettuce. Their starters of rabbit and pork terrine with gherkins and raspberry vinaigrette .. simply delish! There’s outdoor seating and cosy indoor seating during winter. Interesting interiors, unusual French ambience. If you don’t have time for a Eurostar ride across the channel but you’re craving the delicacies of French cuisine, this is the place. Open for both lunch and dinner. On-street parking. Just a short walk from Kew station if coming by train. Strongly recommended.”
