Staff make this place great - kids stuff too!
I want to shout out the staff here and especially Pat - they run a really welcoming center. I have been recently and had some confusion about sessions and they sorted it all out really helpfully and made sure there was someone for me to play with. Their approach makes you believe the rhetoric about them being there for the our experience and the community and not just the business. There is also lots of accessible kids stuff for new parents which is great and a good set of programs for elders / other groups. It is often quite quiet which is a good thing for people in there in a way(!) but it deserves to be a better used center than it is! Im going to encourage more people to come to the classes and session - staff make it a proud and good resource for the community in Kentish Town.

It's fantastic to hear such kind words about the team, and especially about Pat — knowing the centre feels genuinely welcoming for families and kids means the world to us. We'll absolutely make sure Pat hears this shout-out!
We look forward to seeing you back soon!
Warm Regards,

No class and no refund - Part II
I went to Talacre Sports Center to book a tennis class for my kids. They let me pay for it, and after that I was told that the class was already full. I spent almost a hour trying to resolve this matter. And until today, the refund was never made it.
New information - 1 week later:
I had to return to TSC in person to resolve this matter. This time, even though the place was very busy as it was the deadline for club renewals, I managed to receive assistance and have a refund scheduled.

Good Afternoon Enrico,
Thank you for your review.
I am very sorry to hear that you were able to book into an activity online which in fact was fully booked when you attended the centre. Can you clarify if you have filled out a refund request form so the refunds team are able to refund the fees back to you?
Kind regards,
Charmaine
