Arts programming in Cheadle

“My kids love it here. All the nursery staff are very kind and really care for the children. The pre-school staff are beyond excellent and my child has learnt so much to prepare for primary school during their time at Honey Bears. The activities are varied and well thought through. Can’t recommend Honey Bears enough.”

“I visited Costa Gatley Sunday afternoon — a clean, well-maintained store with a cosy atmosphere and a good selection of food options. However, what stood out during my visit was an interaction at the till that left me quite surprised, and not in a good way. When I ordered a medium hot drink, the young girl serving me actively discouraged the choice. She suggested I go for a smaller size, saying: “There’s not much difference in size — go for the small and save some pennies.” As someone who has run a business for over a decade, I found this quite concerning. In most places, staff are trained to upsell — encouraging customers to consider larger sizes or additional items, which is standard practice in retail and hospitality. Her approach, while possibly well-intentioned, directly goes against basic principles of sales and revenue generation. Encouraging customers to spend less, especially unprompted, may seem kind, but it’s ultimately damaging to the business. In my view, this isn’t just unprofessional — it’s a risk to the long-term health of the store. Costa may want to consider reviewing training procedures to ensure staff understand the balance between customer service and commercial awareness. Thank you”

“Friendly staff, clean changing rooms, pool at a nice temperature”

“There are many Costa coffee outlets in the Stockport area, but this is the best. The staff are fantastic, friendly and efficient, and parking is easy with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.”

“This solicitor’s firm was a recommendation. Susan and team provided an excellent service and updated on a regular basis on the case. They are a friendly team and will go extra miles to deliver results. Very exceptional quality of service, very well impressed and I've got a feeling I wouldn't have got this anywhere else. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is after a legal firm that will fight your corner. Thank you for all the hard work, I will not forget !!!”
