Uk's best schools in South Croydon

“Lovely swimming school with excellent teachers. They take great care in ensuring children are happy and comfortable in the water before teaching them excellent technique in each of the four main strokes. The classes are a good size, allowing for individualised instructions where required and as they progress the children gain stamina, speed and confidence. They also provide feedback and updates on children's progress, moving them up levels when they need to or identifying areas in which they could improve. A great swim school that we'd highly recommend.”

“Nice centre, small gym with recently updated equipment, nice full size pool with family swim times. Lots of parking and friendly staff.”

“From my point of view on Whitgift, it did seem to be fairly large and good, with new sports hall and labs and DT/IT stuffs. Teachers are really nice (but a few) and education is at a high standard. There is school tuck shop around the school ground, with direct payment in school canteen.”

“We cannot fault anything about this nursery. The members of staff are wonderful and have really gotten to know our little boy. They communicate with us every evening at pick up and tell us everything about his day, what they've done, what he has eaten, how much he has slept, his mood and his progress. We cannot believe how much he has come on since joining this nursery in September after stalling in his development at another place. The food offered is varied and my little boys eating has really improved too. The facilities are great and the children spend lots of time outside and even have PE classes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!”

“This school really helps the children who needs special care and help ..”

“I go to this school and it is the best! #Fairfieldhouse”

“It's so amazing anyone to think its not good well they ain't seen nothing yet. I love Stagecoach its my life xxxxx”

“My two have been attending for a year and they love it. Plus they have been brought out of their shells and made lots of friends. The teachers are very friendly and nice and encouraging and the whole thing is at much higher standards then other drama school”

“This is the second nursery we have tried in this area. It is far and away the best. The teachers are dedicated professionals (most are also Montessori trained in addition to EYFS training) who are obviously enjoying their work with children, and who are committed to Lemon Tree in the long term. In other words, unlike the other nursery we tried which had huge problems with staff turnover, the teachers at Lemon Tree know us, we know all of them, and most importantly they and the children know each other. Every week my partner and I talk about how relieved we are that our son is at Lemon Tree, and how confident we feel in the care and attention he is receiving there. They also have an enormous outdoor play area with real grass and trees, not just a carpark covered in astroturf. The children are given many opportunities for outside play and they integrate natural learning with their Montessori curriculum. I would recommend this place without qualification.”

“I have been working at Purley Oaks for over 10 years now as a class teacher , both in Year One and Reception. I can honestly say that I love it here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming . We all help each other out no matter what year group we are in or what job role we have - we are a great team! I was advised when I was an NQT to keep moving to different schools but I really don’t want to be anywhere else! In Reception we are a fantastic team and work very closely together. We have such fun and it is amazing to see the children progress throughout the year. I feel that in Early Years we give children a great start to their learning careers!”

“A great school that I attended 1960 - 1965. Teachers I remember Mr Rees, Mrs.fisher, Mrs. Coles all very strict but good.”

“My daughter has been going to this nursery now for coming on two years. I am so pleased with her progress, she is so far ahead. Her development is that of a child a year ahead. She is confident and so happy. The staff at the nursery have provided her with the best education, safeguarding and care. I could not ask for anything more. Especially during covid they have been so supportive and friendly whilst caring for my daughter. I am so pleased I choose Busy Bees Haling Park. I highly recommend it.”

“Love this school, hidden away in a residential area, you are welcomed by an old, huge building but it is not intimidating. The school is friendly and nurturing, like when I went to school. It is not like these academies that focus on results and not the children's wellbeing. The staff are friendly and my children made fabulous progress here! Dont just read ofsted reports, go and visit a school and talk to the people who work there day in and day out!”

“Lovely teachers, good methodology, excellent facilities, overall very good school and most of all, my kids love going to school which is what it's all about at the end of the day.”

“I am a student here in yr 5 I highly recommend you send your kids here the opportunities are great nice friendly teachers . When my mum came here to look at the school she asked the yr6 " what is the worst thing about the school " , " it doesn't have a secondary one . That is my fab review”

“Jigsaw is a great Performing Arts School and has very enthusiastic staff. The children who attend here get a overall sense of confidence and learn subjects including singing, Dancing and acting. Parents are also encouraged to partake in their children's learning by learning scripts and songs for performances.”

“Excellent place for our little ones to start learning and enjoying swimming”

“A very friendly school which I enjoyed every bit since the start of the term.Best place ever!!!”

“Experienced teachers and small class sizes. Teachers take time to know each student's personal strengths and weaknesses so that individual needs are met. CMC delivers a great academic experience!”

“My son has been going to Kinderland for over 2 years now and we have always found the staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Our son absolutely loves his time at the nursery and it's not surprising given the excellent facilities and wide range of varied activities that take place there (leaps and bounds among his favourite). His mum and I would love to be able to take credit for the way he's developing, but in truth he spends 4 1/2 days in the care of the nursery. Their excellent care has played a huge part in him becoming a thoughtful, kind and sharing little boy. I can't recommend Kinderland Day Nursery enough.”

“I will miss this school terribly after leaving it this year... It's really really lovely!”

“My son is cherished and nurtured in this lovely school.”

“I go to this school and it is a litt I love it and have only been in it for 2 months”

“Excellent pre-school lots of activities and great staff”
