Art programs for children in Bolton

“Brilliant dance school, very safe and welcoming.”

“My 6-year-old daughter took part in a 4-day holiday club at Little Voices this summer. Despite it being her first time there and not knowing any of the other children beforehand, she came running out on the first day with a big smile, excitedly sharing stories about her "new friends!" At the end of the week, parents were invited to watch the children's performance, and it was truly remarkable! Every child had a chance to shine in their own unique way, which was delightful to watch. Little Voices is such a nurturing environment and there was absolutely no pressure on the children over the 4 days, as some might worry about; the focus was on having fun—and my daughter certainly did that! We will be back, for sure. Thank you, Laura...you are amazing!”

“Nice place very efficient staff”

“Very friendly staff and good place for kids.”

“It's not just a dance school it's a family. My children have been here for years and it's such a huge part of their lives! The team are so friendly and welcoming it's a lovely atmosphere!”

“Fantastic Club, Safe and Friendly, professionally run by dedicated coaches who all have a positive attitude, kids love swimming for the club, family friendly and run by volunteers. The best in Bolton - check them out!”

“My little girl came to Dawson’s, lacking confidence and not wanting me to leave the room, Miss Niomi was brilliant with her so patient, and now she enjoys dancing so much and even went on stage in front of hundreds of people for the show . Highly recommend and a million thanks to Niomi as she wouldn’t have done it without you ❤️”

“Absolutely love Holly Hulton’s dance school! My daughter has been going for nearly two years now and still looks forward to every class. Miss Holly is an amazing teacher — so kind, and brilliant with the kids. The atmosphere is always positive and fun, and you can really see how much the children grow in confidence. Highly recommend!”

“I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 20 years and was quite nervous, but I was made to feel completely at ease from the moment I walked in, from the lovely Lisa on reception to the dentist Helin and her assistant Andrea! The whole team were welcoming, kind, and professional. I was given the best advice and felt really well looked after throughout my visit. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience – I only wish I had come sooner! Highly recommend and thank you so much xxx”

“I had my daughter’s second birthday here and everything about it was perfect! I also have a 4 year old with Down Syndrome and finding a suitable play area what he can do confidently is very difficult. Baby boom is the only place I feel at ease knowing he can play with his sister and friends safely. 100% would recommend for classes, group play and definitely birthdays!”

“Amazing swimming school ,my son has been with splash stars for a few months now and the difference is incredible,we came from a different company and he hated swimming and was very scared ,now he looks forward to his weekly swim lessons with zoe,who is amazing Highly recomend”

“As a healthcare professional who visits the nursery regularly, I just want to mention how pleased I have been on my visits. Lovely staff with a genuine enjoyment of working with young children. Staff are well trained on how to support children. I have seen good examples of staff implementing strategies to help support development. The nursery has a good learning environment and the staff always have creative activities set up. It is amazing to see the care, kindness and compassion they demonstrate every single day. Friendly atmosphere that is welcoming, approachable and a pleasant place to visit.”

“I joined Rachel Stanton School of Dance recently after having many years of ballet background, and I dance more confidently due to Rachel’s amazing teaching, the ballet classes are very comfortable and you can tell Rachel is very passionate about teaching. My technique has improved lots and it’s a great environment to learn in! Thanks”

“Nice little theatre. Some really talented kids. Everyone there is really friendly, plenty of refreshments. Good to support this type of local venue.”

“My son attended Bright Futures for almost 3 and a half years up until starting school. He absolutely loved the nursery and I cannot fault them. He received not only amazing care but his confidence and skills flourished. Hayley, Angela and Lauren really care about the children and this is reflected through the whole nursery. He left confident and ready for primary school and they’ve certainly helped with that!”

“the nursery is very good the staff are very nice i have been on my work experience its the best one that is in bolton so far the manager is a very kind woman and i loved it there i would suggest that other children should attend the nursery has a lot to do with amazing children can really say i loved it”

“Having danced here for years, I can safely say this school will take you where you want to go. From dancing for fun to taking exams, to professional training, FBSD will help you get there. I trained there from age 2 and 3/4 til the age of 16, when I left for professional ballet school. The school teaches tap, modern dance, ballet, contemporary, street, and has biennial shows (super fun!). The teachers are all ISTD and Cecchetti Ballet qualified to the highest level, which involves rigorous exams. Teacher training is also available at the school. In short, it's fun, safe, and like a family. I've forged friendships there and had fantastic times performing and dancing.”

“My daughter has been going to the academy since march 2023 and it has not disappointed! she's learning all different aspects of acting/drama. She attends the seniors class 14 yrs+ there's a good mixture of children.”

“Fantastic place for children of all ages. Great for adults that are looking to make acting a career or just need to boost your confidence. Would definitely recommend the drama classes here.”

“Our son has been going to Lisa for approximately 3 years and it has been the perfect setting. Home from home environment, arts and crafts, baking, walks and adventures, outdoor play and childminder playgroup sessions (singing and dancing, bouncy castles, yoga, reptiles). Healthy, home cooked meals provided. Highly recommend Lisa to any parents looking for a safe but fun environment for their little ones”

“Joanna us a fantastic childminder! My son has additional needs and Joanna caters for him extremely well. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone wanting childcare.”

“My daughter has been lucky enough to be at Kool Kids since joining her school. As a parent finding an breakfast and afternoon childcare option is a big deal and we checked various options. From first meeting Yvonne and Ste I knew that this is where I wanted my daughter to go. The staff are not just staff members but they are amazing mentors to my daughter and helping her develope through school. Special shouts to Tess, Tegan,Sarah and Tammy for their amazing work.”

“I love the cleanliness and the food is not bad and I have seen it for my self I have been in it and I loved playing in my class !”

“Highly recommend. Really helped my son with his confidence.”

“My little was very shy and not very confident before starting at tiny tots. It only took a week or 2 and she had come out of her shell so much and over a year later still continues to thrive at this nursery! Thanks to every one at tiny tots!”
