NCS Reviews 943

The people running it were really nice especially my leaders Claude and Jumirah. It was good for team building and making new friends. I really recommend it to anyone my age thinking of going.

When we were about to leave they rushed us and barged in the girls door while there were people without clothes on and hijabs. When we “reported” it they told us “it is what it is” and “it’s in the past”. Deffo would not recommend anyone coming here unless u are ready to fight staff members. The staff didn't even apologise and while I was crying for a whole hour they still shouted to get to bloody activity. 1/100.

My daughter had the most amazing experience with NCS. She has had a really bad few years, and had lost all her self-confidence, and suffers with severe anxiety in situations where she isnt close to home. Every stage of the process with NCS had them ensuring that any needs could be catered for, I had a phone conversation to ensure they knew what to do if my daughter was struggling and how they could help her.

She honestly came home like a completely different teenager, she engaged, took part in almost all of the activities, and even made new friends. Her experiences with the team leaders was nothing short of incredible. To be honest I have genuinely never heard her speak so animatedly about a group of strangers. I cannot thank NCS enough for helping bring back some of her confidence, being an amazing support network while she was away and for just providing the most amazing experience for her.

I cannot recommend NCS enough! Thank you so very much 🙂

I highly recommend going! This experience was incredibly amazing; from the team leaders to the activities to the new friends made. This experience has allowed me to improve my physical health, my confidence and my team working skills. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming so there’s nothing to worry about.

NCS is definitely good for all age groups kids. It’s give them opportunities to learn lot of things give experience in future. It’s a confidence booster program. But I would definitely recommend this to go for one month to away from home as my older daughter did.i will definitely recommend this to everyone.

I went to the Kingswood Centre in the Isle of Wight with my School from North London. Overall the trip was absolutely brilliant, I can’t recommend it anymore to people who get the offer to go on this trip. The activities were really fun especially things like zip lining, 3G swing abseiling and rock climbing. These are only a few activities that we took part in and there were many more such as leap of faith, going in the ocean, and even a disco, even after that there were still more activities to do. I felt that everything was balanced out quite well and it made for a really enjoyable weekend where I got to know my peers around me better, I want to give a huge shout out to Tom Millie Jamie Jason and Zara who were some of the leaders for our group, but overall a massive thank you to the team at Kingswood. Also the food was really nice and the portion sizes were huge, the chef was always asking people if they wanted more or if they had any dietary requirements, The chefs were lovely and I didn’t find any member of staff that was rude or didn’t fulfil my expectations. Once again I can’t recommend this trip enough to anyone who gets offered it and I think it’s a brilliant experience.

The staff at NCS are absolutely incredible people. My trip wouldn't have been the same without them as they brought lots of enthusiasm which made the activities more exciting. Doing NCS is very worthwhile because not only does it develop skills in teamwork, leadership and problem solving, it also provides you with an amazing opportunity to make more friends and have lots of fun. I want to give a shout out to Doman, Kaja, Nathan, Byron, Amber and Rob from the Isle of Wight team. They are all amazing people and they made the trip really special for me!

My daughter had an amazing five days away. Lots of fun activities all day. Meals were great and room was lovely as got to share with a friend. She also got to know new young people that attend her college on different level courses. Staff were kind, supportive and made sure they all had a great experience.

Amazing worthwhile experience, met lots of people and enjoyed every activity. The leaders are so lovely you can’t not have fun.

Harry Sibley: Had a great 5 days meeting some new friends, lots of great experiences, good food lots of it
I would do it again and if anyone has a chance of going it's well worth it.

The activities where really fun and interesting and the instructors where also very nice and amazing my fav ones where austrialan harry and Jonah!

It was amazing learned a lot of skills and made new friends the people was nice too

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. When it comes to health and safety, I was really disappointed when I heard that they had spent £95 pounds for spider infested rooms, sour water, spongy eggs and a staff member who laughed at my friend with the other children after he left her dangling off of a wire at the top of the rock climbing. Clogged toilets, no places for sanitary products, if there was, they were never emptied. Another person was gluten free, and the site was made aware of this. Just for them to have not prepared a gluten-free meal. The sour water, it was just disgusting. Whatever food they did bring, was made “acidic’ from the water given. Extremely disappointing, I know that it is an adventure into nature, but they were given no support. They didn’t want to write this review, but after hearing it, I would never go to NCS. Although NCS may be the trip of a lifetime to others, this is my personal review, your trip may be different and you should not follow this review. It was just to portray my disappointment after hearing all of the amazing comments.

My twin daughters both attended MK NCS during August.
Both had a great time and enjoyed all the wide range of events as well as meeting lots of new friends.

The whole experience was well run from start to finish, including the lead up to the event.
Staff were good and friendly.
If they could, they would love to do again.
Would highly recommend.

Staff were so nice and the activities were awesome! The food was also really good and i made lots of new friends so overall well worth it :)

Lots of fun activities- great site, comfortable camping and good facilities. Staff were great. Met a lot of new people from different areas which has built confidence. Would recommend.

Great opportunity. Amazing activities. Highly professional team. Would recommend to other.

The last camp was great , it was honestly the best camp that I ever went to. The activities were amazing and enjoyful.

My son had a brilliant time, the staff were engaging and friendly, the activities were excellent the group learnt loads, made friends and had fun

eve, jamie and callum from moorhouse centre deserve a raise (definitely not a promo)
