Parents see improvement in children who attend ActivKids classes
23-Sep-2011
The greatest compliment ActivKids ever receive is when parents feedback to us the improvements they have seen in their own children. We recently received a couple of comments from parents in Kent and South London;
"I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Dave who came along to St Michaels School in Welling & really helped my daughter Milly, as Dave is aware she has scoliosis, her motor skills were poor but by attending Activ kids they have really improved. Milly really enjoyed all the games & cant wait to attend the next course. Thank you so much"
Karen & Milly
"I was extremely impressed with Chris Eather and his team at Activkids in Blackheath Bluecoats, Blackheath last month. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time there, the team were very professional, very kind and excellent with the kids. I shall be spreading the word about ActivKids! He is looking forward to half term for the next club! Thanks again - he can't wait until he is 5 when he can come all day!"
