“May Allah bless Hazrat Sheikh and all the OSAIS family of students, teachers and helpers.”

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“Always fun! Staff are always amazing. Young people got to canoe, paddle board and donut! They absolutely loved it!”

“I like this learning place it's really nice place”

“Very nice staff, very helpful, definitely good place kids for improvement”

“This year, we decided to break away from the usual kids' party and have a kayaking party at the lake. We were not disappointed! It was affordable, and everything was included equipped, wetsuits, and instructors. The staff were friendly, and most of all, every single child enjoyed it. Plus, the kids were learning so many skills without even realising it. I would highly recommend it!”

“Free Qur'an classes in Partington Community Centre every evening 5pm-6pm for children from 4 years- 18 years old with male and female teacher and Weekly Friday prayer held between 13:00-14:00. Special arrangements for ladies is available.”

“We have taken the kids a few times and more recently attended a Peppa Pig party to celebrate my son and daughters 3rd birthday. The place it's self is a little small but has a lot to offer we particularly like it because of the sensory room which offers a clam environment for my son. The twins also enjoyed the interactive room and the main soft play area which is great for young children. The food in the cafe is very nice offers both hot and cold food. Great place, great people and would highly recommend”

“What a pleasant surprise to find a really clean room and hotel; but also to be met by the friendliest receptionist, and assisted by a lovely guy, who carried our ( vast amounts) of luggage up the stairs. Thank you! ( For reference, we checked in at 3.30pm on 4/10/25).”

“We stayed at Native Manchester for one night and I would definitely stay here again. For the price, it felt like excellent value compared to other options in the area, especially considering the size of the studio and the quality of reviews. Communication was seamless, I received WhatsApp updates throughout my journey, from details about the room number and PIN code to notifications that the room was ready and a reminder for check-out. The process was essentially self-service, though there is a reception available if needed. I found the whole system very streamlined and convenient. We parked at Dale Street car park, which cost around £20 for 24 hours, and from there it was just a short walk to the hotel. The building itself is really impressive, it used to be a cotton factory, and they’ve done a great job blending the original industrial character with modern design. We booked a studio apartment, which came with a bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. The bathroom had towels and toiletries (shampoo and shower gel), while the kitchen had all the day-to-day essentials, plus tea, coffee, and even a small bottle of milk in the fridge. There was also an iron, ironing board, and hairdryer in the room. The bed was very comfortable, big, and overall, the space felt well thought out and homely. One small piece of feedback from my partner is that a larger mirror, or a mirror in better lighting, would have been useful for doing hair and makeup. As well, it would have been useful if there was some tissues, like kitchen roll etc. All in all, the studio had everything we needed, the atmosphere was great, and I would happily recommend Native Manchester to anyone visiting the city.”

“Had my son’s birthday party here on Sunday 3rd. It was the least stressful birthday party I’ve ever hosted. The 3 guys planned and organised everything and Lucy in the background making sure all the food was correct. Well catered for, one of the boys was lactose and they made sure he had everything. Everyone had such a fantastic 2 hours, kids and the overgrown kids as well. Would highly recommend. Thank you for making his party a great one.”

“It's a nice little place, if you want to take your little one or have any apointment depending on what, receptionist is very nice & friendly, super welcoming.”

“Failsworth Sports Centre offers a well-rounded experience for fitness enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The highlight of the facility is undoubtedly its five-star gym. Equipped with state-of-the-art machines and free weights, the gym is rarely crowded, providing an almost exclusive feel. This allows for uninterrupted workouts and easy access to equipment at any time of the day. The swimming pool, which boasts I would say the the cleanest water you'll find across all sports centres well maintained, offering a refreshing and hygienic environment for swimmers. Everyone is very social and it makes a change from the other sites. The staff at Failsworth Sports Centre deserve special mention for their friendliness and professionalism. Their positive attitude and helpful nature contribute significantly to the inviting atmosphere of the centre. However, The sports centre is beginning to show its age, and certain parts of the facility, particularly the changing rooms and could do with some tender loving care. Updating areas would go a long way in enhancing the overall user experience.”

“Just Completed the Powerboat level two course and i can highly recommend trafford water sports centre!

I would happily recommend this course to everyone! You won't be disappointed! A++”

“My daughter goes to brookhouse farm preschool. We looked at a lot of nurserys prior to selecting brookhouse. The staff are great, the activities are fun, and our daughter loves going there.”

“This is the best place for pre-school kids. The staff are dedicated and friendly, the place is kitted out perfectly to get your child's senses firing and developing their social skills. Never a dull moment for your little ones. The only downside is my daughter never wants to leave!”
