Both of my kids attend Green Coat Nursery and absolutely love it! The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth.

The staff are so caring and friendly too and my children are very close to them all.
Both my kids come back from nursery happy and excited and tell me about the new things they’ve learned .

We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our child receives at Greencoat Nursery!

From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, attentive, and nurturing. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the children and are passionate about early childhood development.

Our child has grown in confidence, made great friendships, and always comes home smiling and full of stories about their day. The activities are thoughtfully planned, educational, and fun from creative arts to outdoor play and early learning foundations.

We especially appreciate the regular updates, photos, and open communication from the team ,it helps us feel connected and reassured.

A huge thank you to the entire team at Greancoat Nursery for creating such a warm, supportive, and inspiring environment. It really feels like a second home for our little one!

Love Greencoat nursery! My sister has been bringing all her children for the past 7+ years and I’ve brought my daughter this year and she absolutely loves it! With so many wonderful staff, clean environment and excellent teaching and activities, as a first time parents it’s so reassuring to leave my only child here, knowing she receives the best care possible. Thank you to the team and may Allah put barakah in your business always and forever!

It’s the one nursery I know I can rely on always. Thank you so much to all the staff over the years!! Hamdi

Green coat Nursery is good nursery. All staff of Green coat are help full ,friendly and kind.
My son is 4 year old and he has been in this nursery almost one year and half.
My son learned more things during that time and he has enjoyed.

Greencoat Nursery have been excellent since my 2 year old has started this term. She has enjoyed it so much she does not want to leave. The staff are excellent, professional and are always nice.

Good time spent in my first day in.
Helpfully and friendly staff open to respond to all our questions.

I am thankful for everything you guys have done for me Very helpful people , I highly recommend scholars school system for anyone looking for a good and safe space to learn and grow

This is a poor sham. Every review is fake they are told on their first day they must write something positive n give 5 stars. Scamming the UK government in giving them student loans. All the lecturers are from abroad and all on the same page that students must be able to get loans if they do the college gets it to. The most obvious thing was how unprofessional the people are.

Everyone here are very helpful and went through everything very quickly .

Look forward to starting my course with SSS The staff have been amazing specially sana and mevish and ojo great vibes and amazing class to study with too.

Really good , they help me much

It’s very good place to get knowledge the staff is very good a polite.

All staff is the best .

The experience was exceptionally enjoyable. The entire setup is impressive, with easily accessible equipment and straightforward instructions. The host provided immediate and helpful assistance with any concerns. Her demeanor was notably pleasant and welcoming. The workspace was maintained throughout the session. The time passed quickly; despite the time constraints, the immersive nature of the activity fostered intense focus. The unexpected victory was a delightful surprise. This experience is highly recommended for individuals of all ages.

What a fantastic day! Champagne was our head chef and she made the experience! She made all the important stuff really fun and easy to follow and on hand to help with any baking issues. The cocktails served were tasty and very boozy! not sure that helped with the final product but as we were there to celebrate my son and his partners stag it just made for a great fun day! I would recommend anyone to go, great few hours well worth the money!

We just had the best time. So many laughs but oh my goodness, stressful but in a good way!
Champagne, the head chef, was fantastic and made a laugh so much, her sense of humour was just great.
We were very pleased with ourselves when we managed to produce a wonky hedgehog cake but know now that we’d never enter that show on the telly!
We’ll definitely return, thank you!

Absolutely loved the event, it was so so much fun and the hen and the rest of the party loved it! The only thing I’d say that could be improved would be that we were told to get there 20 minutes early, and we weren’t greeted when we arrived and we weren’t let in until nearly the booked time so the 20 minutes was a bit pointless and frustrating when travelling from across different parts of the country. Otherwise the cake, instructions and atmosphere was great!

It was suuuch a fun evening!!! Champagne’s energy is contagious, she was very helpful and all the ingredients were already weighed and ready for use. The annoying parts are basically taken care of for you and you just have to follow the instructions. For flavour and decorations, it’s really up to you! The theme for last night was Tutti frutti and we took it quite literally, and… WE WON! We also get to take the cake home so that’s breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next few days
Overall, the competition was so fun, it’s such a good couple or group activity. I highly recommend it!

It was really fun, great way to get creative. Our head baker Champagne was such a vibe and so bubbly. Great activity for anyone whether you enjoy baking or not lovely time
Spent with loved ones. Will defo do this again! Thank you

We had a fabulous day at the Big Bake, it was very well organised.
All of the staff were friendly and on hand to help with clearing stations ect.
Our Head Chef&Judge Champagne was excellent and really made our experience for us!
We couldn’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be back in the future 🙂

Today I passed my driving test, I came to Sully with zero driving experience, and he taught me everything from the start with so much patience and encouragement. He explained things clearly, made me feel comfortable behind the wheel, and gave me the confidence to pass my driving test. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn properly and feel supported every step of the way!

I just passed my driving test first time, and I couldn’t have done it without Sully. From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His teaching style was clear, patient, and encouraging, and he always explained everything in a way that made sense.

What I really appreciated was how calm and supportive he was, even when I made mistakes he turned every error into a learning a mistake for me to learn from. Thanks to Sully guidance, I went into my test feeling fully prepared, and I’m so happy to say I passed on my first attempt!

I’d highly recommend Sully from RSM driving school for anyone looking for a great driving instructor. Thank you so much for all your help!

THE best driving school and I’m biased that I had the best driving instructor, Farah was amazing! I have had lessons before with other driving schools so I have a comparison and doing my lessons with RSM with Farah was exactly what I needed. She was the perfect balance of encouraging and confidence boosting as well as strict. If you want to pass your driving and be a safe driver on the road I really recommend you go to RSM.

So happy to have passed today with the help of Marrium! She’s not only an amazing instructor but also a truly wonderful person. I was such a nervous driver when I first started, but her patience and way of teaching really helped ease my anxiety. She gave me the confidence and valuable skills that I know I wouldn’t have gained anywhere else. I’m so grateful for all the effort and support she put in to get me to this point — I couldn’t have done it without her!

I recently passed my UK driving test on the first attempt, and I couldn’t have done it without my instructor, Nasir.

At first, I was assigned a different instructor, but I didn’t feel I was making progress. I raised this with RSM, and they were very understanding and promptly reassigned me to Nasir. From the very first lesson, I noticed a huge difference. He started me off with just a one-hour session, explaining that it was better to assess my level first rather than waste money. In that single hour, I learned more than I had in four hours with my previous instructor.

Nasir’s teaching style is professional, clear, and patient. He was always punctual, quick to respond to texts, and made sure I had regular lessons each week. Closer to my test, he even created a proper timetable so I knew exactly how many lessons I would need. What impressed me most was that he never pushed for unnecessary lessons — his only focus was to prepare me well enough to pass.

I learned driving completely from scratch as a brand-new driver, and with minimal lessons Nasir helped me build confidence, develop safe driving habits, and prepare thoroughly for my test. Thanks to his structured teaching and constant encouragement, I managed to pass on my very first attempt.

In the final week before my test, Nasir scheduled daily sessions which really helped polish my skills. On the test day, he picked me up, kept me calm, and supported me all the way. When I passed, I could see how genuinely happy he was — proof that he truly cares about his students’ success.

I can’t recommend Nasir enough. If you’re learning with RSM, definitely ask for him!

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! Samad from (RSM Driving School) he was incredibly patient and supportive. He gave clear instructions and helpful tips to help me prepare for my test which was within a week and made me gain the confidence I needed, and I passed my test on the first attempt! I highly recommend Samad to anyone looking for an amazing driving instructor.

My instructor was excellent. He not only helped me spot the small mistakes I was making but also explained how to correct them in a clear and simple way. He guided me step by step on how to prepare and pass, and his encouragement gave me a lot of confidence. I truly appreciated his patience and supportive attitude. Overall, he is a very skilled and dedicated instructor, and I would highly recommend him to others.

I took my daughter to CES after seeing the success my nieces had there a few years ago — both passed their 11+ exams with flying colours. From the very first day, it was clear that Mr. Simpson has a genuine passion for helping students succeed. His attitude is inspiring — with him, failure is simply not an option.

Mr. Forbes and the rest of the teaching team are also fantastic: friendly, dedicated, and hardworking. They go the extra mile to ensure every child is progressing in the right direction. I’m really pleased with the support my daughter has received so far and would highly recommend CES to any parent looking to give their child the best chance at success.

Where do I start… I have known Mr Simpson and Mr Forbes for over a decade in a professional capacity. They both are excellent in the subject area that they teach.

They have both assisted all my four children in their academic journey namely from the 11 plus assessments to university entrance. Their teaching is both unique, effective and easy to adopt.

I would recommend CES to all family and friends!

Good luck

From the first lesson with CES(Uk) Ltd, my grandaughter attended, l knew we had made the right choice. The English tutor was so friendly, experienced and knew how to engage my grandaugher who is a teenager. Weekend sessions were well organised and very effective. I’m so grateful for the support. It has made a great difference in her performance at school.l can’t thank mr Simpson enough for the support he has given to us. Fantastic service- worth every penny. Thank Team Simpson.

So far CES(UK)Ltd is by far the best tutoring company l have worked with in Birmigham. Their Maths ,English, Physics, and Chemestry tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and explain complex topics in ways that makes their students like the subjects. They made learning enjoyable for my grandaughter . She went from struggling in physics and chemistry to achieving better grades and her grades have improved beyond our expectations! I highly recommend them to anyone living in Birmigham or elsewhere looking for quality tuition.

Excellent tuition for my sons they both achieved a grade 6 at english literature. Mr Simpson has supported them immensely providing them with notes and exam question. I would recommend this for all parents.

After intensive research i came across CES. My daughter is studying for 11+. The tutors are dedicated and very supportive. The level of teaching is exceptional.
Mr Simpson is amazing goes above and beyond to help her. In a short space of time she has made great progress.
The best tuition centre in Birmingham, highly recommend it.

The teachers provide excellent instruction, making complex topics understandable and engaging. Their dedication to student success is evident, fostering a positive and effective learning environment.Their commitment to helping students excel is truly commendable.They break down complex problems step-by-step.

Excellent Tuition Center with Dedicated Staff!
I’ve had a fantastic experience with this tuition center. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about their students’ progress. They provide clear explanations, personalized attention, and regular feedback, which has helped boost both confidence and academic performance. The environment is supportive and motivating, and it’s clear that student success is their top priority. I highly recommend this center to anyone looking for quality tutoring and real academic improvement!

I’ve been having classical singing lessons with Alexandra for almost a year now and she’s caused me to improve so much!! Her lessons are so enjoyable and she teaches other styles, not just classical. Before I became her student I couldn’t sing high notes without my voice cracking and the notes sounding strained. Now my voice never cracks and I can hit them with a nice sound confidently, clearly and powerfully! I have much more control and precision over my voice too, and she’s really helping me correct bad habits I picked up from before she taught me. My voice has become richer and clearer too. My choir leader has also commented multiple times on how much my singing has improved since I’ve been having lessons. Alexandra is a lovely, thoughtful teacher who I’d really recommend!!

I’ve been having singing lessons with Goldie now for almost two years and I’ve noticed a drastic difference in my voice, allowing me to feel far more confident in my voice. I always look forward to my lessons with Goldie and I always walk away from my lesson feeling like I’ve achieved something. Through Goldie’s feedback and expert knowledge, I’ve been able to achieve things with my voice I didn’t know I would be able to. Not only has she helped me vocally, but she has also given me lots of guidance on becoming a better musician and artist. I definitely wouldn’t be in the position I am today musically if it wasn’t for Goldie and Progress, I thoroughly recommend them!

Having taken vocal lessons with Alexandra after 6 months, I am confident to say that she is a professional, competent and capable vocal teacher. I once took vocal lessons with professionals for a year in drama school and Alexandra is definitely one of them. Thank you Alexandra 🙂

Goldie is an amazing vocal coach, and choosing Progress Music Academy for my lessons has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I really enjoy having lessons with her. Her feedback is always constructive and encouraging, and I’ve learned so many new techniques that have really helped my voice, singing and public speaking. I can see noticeable improvement in my singing, and I’ve even had the chance to perform at showcases, which I never thought I’d be confident enough to do before. I highly recommend Progress Music Academy to anyone looking to improve their vocal skills!

I started having singing lessons at Progress earlier this year after being ‘volunteered’ to sing backing vocals in my band (I play sax). I’ve had no previous personal singing instruction, although I obviously have some musical knowledge from playing the saxophone. My main aim was to try not to sound horrendous but I’m beginning to accept that I can actually sing! My tutor Tia has been exactly right for me; she has taken the time to explain to me the technical points of using my voice in a way I’ve found very easy to understand and helped me work through any problems I’ve encountered whilst continuing to encourage and uplift me. I have even been able to listen to a recording of myself singing – amazing! It’s been a long time since I had proper lessons in anything (around 20 years!) and I’m enjoying it so much. I would never have achieved what I have so far trying to learn at home on my own. Progress is a great place to learn, very well equipped and set up and the booking system for lessons is very slick. I can’t thank Progress, Gary and especially Tia enough for helping me find my voice.

Tia is an amazing vocal coach! She’s very kind and understanding towards her students of all levels. As a complete beginner, she really helped me gain more confidence in myself and encouraged me to try new things. I’d highly recommend to her anyone as she makes her lessons extremely enjoyable!

Booking singing lessons for my daughter, at Progress Music Acedmy, has been the best decision I have made to help support her future career choice. They are so professional and organised. It is so easy to book and all of the staff are friendly and welcoming. My daughter has lessons with Tia and the difference in her voice since she started having lessons with her is phenomenal! Tia understands her, understands her voice and what songs will suit her, she pushes her out of her comfort zone with songs she wouldn’t usually sing but they sound amazing, she looks after her vocal health, she also supports her emotionally with friendship. Sophie says that when she goes to lessons with Tia, it is like going to lessons with her big sister! Thank you to everyone at progress, especially Tia as Sophie is now becoming more successful at auditions and I know this wouldn’t have happen without your support and guidance.

I passed my driving test ( First attempt with PrimeLearner Driving School) with two minors.

The experience with Zsolt/Anita was exceptional.There was crystal clear communication with Anita about arranging the driving lessons. Zsolt establishes excellent rapport with his students. On the first lesson, Zsolt assesses your driving and gives you clear pointers on how to correct any mistakes. He devises a structured plan, tailored to suit the needs of the learner. His plan is in line with the marking parameters of the driving test. It is important to note that Zsolt teaches you to drive defensively, so you can drive safely anywhere. He also helps you with managing any driving anxiety and puts you at ease.

I would highly recommend PrimeLearner Driving School to anyone who wants to learn safe driving in the U.K. Think of it as an investment in yourself!

So happy to say I passed my driving test on my first attempt with only 2 minors! Huge thanks to Prime Learner Driving School and my instructor Zsolt for helping me get here.

Zsolt has been amazing from the start — super patient, supportive and always explaining things clearly. He made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel, and his tips really helped me on test day.

Honestly couldn’t have done it without him. If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares and makes learning to drive enjoyable, I can’t recommend Zsolt enough! ❤️

I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to met Zsolt. He is the most wonderful driving instructor you could ever ask for, very supportive and very skilled.
He is very professional and he is always in time, never cancelling a lesson!
I passed my driving test just last week at the first attempt with just 3 silly minors!!!
After a bad experience learning how to drive, my confidence was 0, I was thinking that I will never be able to drive, and not be able to pass neither, but as soon as I start lessons with Zsolt, I started to build my confidence and most importantly I started to love again driving, I couldn’t wait for him to come so I could drive ! I really, really love getting in the car and drive, and this is all thanks to him! And he just not teaches you to love driving , he teaches you to be a good driver, a skilled and a safe driver ! very happy that I chose Zsolt.
I know that his hourly rate for the lessons is higher than other instructors, but believe me , is worth it as definitely you will pass on the first attempt! And passing from the first attempt it will may actually save you money and time too!
You are an amazing teacher and first of all a life friend! I will always recommend you to anyone looking for a driving instructor and to everyone who really wants to learn how to drive safely !

I had received my driving license back when I was 18 in my home country, but I haven’t really driven for almost 15 years after that. Since the UK didnt recognise my driving license, I had to to get the UK driving license from scratch. I found the Prime Learner Driving School based on the reviews online and that led me to Zsolt. He ended up being one of the best mentors I have had in my life. He is very patient, knowledgeable, kind and friendly person and he is a truly first class driving instructor. My priority from the beginning was to become a safe driver as I am a family man and have a 4 year old kid. Zsolt was very professional, always on time, never had any last minute cancellation (he even always wears a suit!). My driving test was very stressful as my wife went into labor at the same time (you can imagine the pressure!), but I passed at the first attempt and that is all thanks to Zsolt! I have gained a mentor and a dear friend in one person (Zsolt). Highly recommended!

Zsolt is an amazing instructor! Thanks to him I’ve passed!
He is patient and encouraging throughout the sessions. I recommend him to anyone who needs a very knowledgeable, calm and supportive instructor.

I just passed my driving test on the first attempt with zero minors, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Zsolt!

After two failed tests with a previous instructor who didn’t prepare me properly or do any mock tests, I had completely lost confidence in my driving. But learning with Zsolt was a game-changer. He’s incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about helping his students to become safe and confident drivers.

What really stood out was how organised and structured his teaching is. He analysed where I needed to improve and built a plan to help me progress step by step. His feedback was always constructive, and he made sure I felt ready before moving on to the next practise.

Thanks to Zsolt, I not only passed but actually enjoy driving again. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about helping you succeed, I highly recommend Prime Learner Driving School.

Contacted Zsolt for some refresher lessons, not having driven in 10 years.

Service was great, he knows how to instill confidence, and his lessons and instructions are very well thought out. Excellent communicator and all round guy. Highly recommended for those of any level.

Thanks Zsolt!

Aneela is an excellent English tutor—clear explanations, patient guidance, and well-structured lessons. She tailor’s each lesson on the areas of concern with constructive feedback and guidance for improvement. Reliable, prepared, and genuinely enjoyable to learn from—highly recommend. My daughter increased 2 grades!

Very highly recommend!! My son was really struggling in year 10 in prep for GCSE English was working at a 6 but with this amazing tutor his predicted moved up to an 8! He used all the techniques that he practiced in the lessons and used the notes to revise. The tuition was excellent value for money compared to others and really effective. My son appreciated the approach and the practical techniques.

Aneela is an exceptional GCSE English Tutor; her subject knowledge and delivery is outstanding. She’s kind, sincere, and explains everything so clearly. Thanks to her support, my daughter achieved a Grade 9 in Literature and an 8 in Language. Truly outstanding and highly recommended!

**HIGHLY RECOMMEND** Aneela is amazing! My daughter had allot of time out of school due to anxiety and mental health difficulties. My daughter started with spark tuition to try and get through her GCSES with only 5 months to go. She settled into it with ease, managed to log in and engage well by herself. She was predicted a 3 in literature and a 4 in language. She got her final grades yesterday she she got a 4 in literature and a 6 in language! I wish we had started in year 10 with this and who knows what’s he could have got! It’s an affordable way of having tutoring with so much that Aneela provides. Having lessons recorded ti catch up on also is fab! Don’t hesitate to join your children up! Thank you from both of us ☺️

Ms Aneela is such a good teacher and is soo considerate and bubbly. As her student, I think she explains in such detail you will leave every class with not doubts for sure. She also teaches English language very well

A fantastic English tutor that made passing both the English Language GCSE and English literature GCSE completely straightforward. My child was set for level 3 in both of those . We started Spark tuition and simply used our own notes from the lessons for the year leading up to the GCSEs . My child then passed both with a 4 and 5. This was an amazing achievement ! Cannot recommend weekly tutoring enough but the crash courses were fabulous too ! Thankyou Aneela! X

Excellent teacher! She makes learning fun and engaging, and her lessons really helped me in improving my skills. Would highly recommend!

Hello this is aqua kaur. I consider myself more than fortunate to come across this afro dance fitness class here in Birmingham .. i really wait for every single session here. The best part is the stago team and ofcourse Steven the lead here is so humble and cooperative which boosts our confidence and morale whenever we all attend his classes. If you are in Birmingham then trust me you are missing something very amazing if yu are not part of this. See you there.

Have been to 4 classes with dance with stago and I would highly recommend! The instructors are super friendly and came over to say hello to me everytime I have gone to class which makes you comfortable straight away. I am not a dancer by any means so this is a whole new challenge for me. The beginners classes are high energy and intensity and the most fun! I can’t even describe the endorphins you feel after the class – not to mention the burn! I will keep on attending and hopefully become a better Afro beat dancer! But either way I am guaranteed a fun and intense workout! Highly recommend!

Welcoming fun energetic environment, for youngsters and mature wannabe dancers (like me) alike. Went for the 1st time last night & I absolutely loved it. The teacher broke things down beautifully for the newbies. Everyone else, too, was keen to help. Great value for money including free parking! Beautiful modern venue, too. I cannot wait for my next class.

Amazing class high energy from start to finish!! Perfect for beginners or advanced dancers The teachers are so talented and I always learn a something new in each class Ive made new friends and have grown in confidence Love the DWS family it’s the best way to get fit ❤️

Amazing dance fitness classes! Great music and dance routines which keep you active and moving each week. The leaders are very professional and helpful. Great family atmosphere within the group.

It’s like going to an Afrobeats clurrrrb 3 days a week. The energy is always right , the instructors are amazing, patient and always lit.
I’ve got my notices attending the kids sessions now as well and they love it too

I started going to DWS a few months ago, initially feeling shy and withdrawn while dancing with random people. However, I soon felt at home and free as Stago encouraged everyone to “just dance.” Last weekend, I met up with friends I hadn’t seen in months, and they commented that I had lost some weight. It was wonderful to hear, and I owe it to dancing with Stago for making this happen while having fun.

I can’t thank Ms Jody enough for inspiring my daughter. Anya always looks forward to her Monday piano lessons. Ms Jody is such a wonderful teacher and a joy to be around (even for the adults who accompany their kids). Anya comes out from every lesson excited and therefore motivated to practice piano consistently. Thank you Ms Jody and ProMusic!

Angie is such a supportive and caring singing teacher, who listens and takes action when you want a song done properly. My voice has improved so much since she started teaching me. Her techniques feel very healthy and easy to learn so that I can keep my voice safe.
Facilities are really nice and the equipment is great. It’s always warm and comfortable inside as well

My teenage daughter has both vocal lessons with Ange and bass lessons with mark and thoroughly enjoys them. She’s come on remarkably in both subjects and looks forward to the lessons every week. Amazing company and amazing teachers.

Best experience. Tom is a patient teacher and explained in detail how to help my 3 year old to get ready for lessons. Can’t wait to start lessons!!

Ange is an amazing singing teacher. She has helped me tremendously to develop my singing skills. She is compassionate and very caring in her approach. Would definitely recommend x

Excellent teachers, I have both my boys learning with Pro Music. Drums and Piano. I honestly cannot say enough about them. Brilliant thank you guys. My boys love there classes. As much as I love seeing them grow into hopeful musicians of the future.

I also appreciate the structure of the teaching. As a music lover, it’s great to see the dedication from the staff for each student to reach their goal.

My Daughter absolutely loves attending her drum lesson with Stuart. Very relaxed and fun teaching methods used, no pressure to do exams but completely fully supports. We highly recommend!
