Customer Experiences
"Hi Richard
My children were at Rugby all last week, and had a really great time. They did something different every day, and the coaches were fantastic with them. Another great week, thank you for providing such great child care, look forward to doing it again at half term."Nikki, Rugby
"Hi
I just wanted to give you some feedback on the multi-sports sessions that you ran at Warwick over the half term.
My son Callum attended two days and he absolutely loved it. He came home with a trophy and a medal (for being in the team that won the mini Olympics!) on Friday and was thrilled to bits with both of them. He clearly had a brilliant time and wants to go back again soon.
I just thought it was important to give you this feedback and to say a huge thank you for giving him such an enjoyable experience."Kate, Warwick
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all your team who made the half term holiday camp such fun. All the onside staff are absolutely wonderful and my kids enjoy all onside activities at school, during the weekends and at the school holidays. As a parent I’m so thrilled to have found activities that my children all enjoy and it is great to know they are being so well looked after."Rebecca, Leamington
"What a fantastic way to spend the summer. My kids have loved Lottie and her team, they enjoyed learning a variety of sports in a fun environment and they especially like the mini olympics on a Friday! Excellent value for money. I would highly recommend!"Emma M- Rugby
"We used Onside in Rugby for the first time last week and it certainly will not be the last. Our son had the most fantastic week and learnt and tried lots of new games. The days were well organised and i really appreciate the wrap around care on my working days. Lottie and her team were fantastic and I most definitely recommend them."Jess - Rugby
"Onside East Warwickshire have supported the transformation of our PE provision. Lottie and her team's passion have shone through and given so many of our children a new outlook on Physical Education. Every lesson is well organised, and whilst offering a wide variety of sports, they have maintained and delivered outstanding quality lessons."Rosanna - PE Coordinator at Clifton Primary
"During the last 3 school holidays my boy has really enjoyed his time at Onside Coaching.
Hes not the strongest athlete and can struggle with basic sport directions (hes 7) but Onside Coaching are very patient with him and spend the time teaching him. He loves all the sports games they play and enjoys getting involved in group play.
Any questions I have I feel at ease knowing I can email or ask questions at drop off/pick up any time.
I would highly recommend for all children at any stage of learning sportsmanship. Onside have really helped get my boy active and more into sports :) Thank you all!"Tanya, Banbury
"I am just emailing you because I just want to tell you about Luke. We have a child that is being assessed for autism (he already works with another child in our pre-school who has autism). I can honestly say that he is an absolute credit to your team. He is such a fantastic person and I can't even put into words how incredible he is with our children, including the children who have SEN. Luke as a person is so lovely and I am so glad we have him and that the children get to experience Football and Forest School with him. They all love him and the bond he has with them is by far one of that best bonds I've seen with any of our outside classes."Kings Meadow Nursery
"My son attended the club at LSS in Rugby for 3 days during the holidays. I was very impressed with how professional the staff were and how everything had been organised.
He had never attended any kind of club, that wasn't held at his school before and he loved it.
My son told me the children were prepared for the day by staff in the morning and this really helped to reduce any anxieties.
Staff were so friendly and encouraging, we will definitely be returning!
"Vanessa H - Rugby
"I've got to say I was a bit apprehensive about sending my daughter to summer club. I remember them as a kid and hated them but I am so pleased we decided to send her. She has absolutely loved every second! She can't wait to tell me what she's been up to. Such a variety of activities and the Onside team have been fantastic as well! Wouldn't hesitate to send her again, thanks Onside East Warks!"Emma A - Rugby
"My daughter attended the Easter multi-sports club and absolutely LOVED it! She actually asked if she could go for the 2nd week too! The staff are really professional, welcoming and friendly, and from what she told me, the days were really well organised and stimulating for the kids who attended. I would 100% recommend it and am definitely going to get her in again if the dates work out for us. Thank you so much, Onside Coaching - East Warwickshire!"Warwickshire Kids
