I've signed up our daughter for Nimble Arts holiday club during half term (http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=537) and was just wondering if your child has attended before and if they enjoyed it? I looked on the forum for any recommendations or info on it (besides info on the actual workshops) but didn't see any feedback regarding their program. It sounds really fun for kids and she's already signed up but I was just curious.


Thanks,

Leigh

Hi Leigh, my daughter did two days with them and absolutely loved it. It seems well run, lots of space at the venue, and when I offered my daughter to do it this mid term break she jumped at the chance. So yes, I would recommend it.
My kids have been several times - one of the women who runs it is the music teacher at Heber so we hear about it through the school. It's really very good - they do absolutely loads and it's very creative and fun. I wouldn't say it's cheap but my kids beg me to go so we've just signed up for another day this half term. Very nice women who run it; they have heaps of energy and come up with some really great ideas for themed activities.

My 5 year old really enjoys it - she has been twice now and is signed up for a couple of days in half-term. In fact, yesterday she asked me when she's going back to Nimble Arts!


It's a really creative course that has obviously had a lot of thought put into it by the team that run it. Each day has a completely different activity and the kids came home with some fantastic art bits and pieces last time at the Halloween event. There's a good ratio of staff to children. The only downside is that it's quite expensive compared to some of the other holiday clubs.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
