Child development activities in Bury

“I cannot recommend Educare enough. From Becky, the manager, to each and every one of my son's key workers throughout the three years he has been there (Kirsty, Nicola, Emy, Alicia, Lizzie, Amy, Elena), I have always felt he is in the safest hands. Every member of staff is just the loveliest - they put tonnes of effort into the activities they plan, and parents are kept up to date with progress and pictures. Nothing is ever too much, even when I call up in the middle of the day because "he just seemed a bit sad this morning and I wanted to check whether he's cheered up and now having a good day!". They don't just give it lip service, they keep me on the line as they go to check on him, and will pass me on to his key worker if a bigger update is needed. Any time he's had a bump or fall (he's a kid, it's going to happen!), it's been recorded, and I've had a detailed account of exactly how it came about - which ALWAYS matches up to my son's description of the event, too. I really do love all the staff here, they provide a really personal touch which makes the world of difference. And to have your kid come home and say their key worker is their BEST FRIEND is the most heartwarming thing ever. He feels safe, and so do I.”

“Since starting at the nursery over a year ago my 2 girls have come on in leaps and bounds.There are so many educational and fun activities that are incorporated into the nursery routine.The children even do yoga!! My girls come home everyday singing and in a cheery mood. The staff really take the time out to get to know and understand the wants and needs of the children individually and as a group and commuinication with myself and father has been very good.Would highly recommend this nursery.”

“Great for baby development. Very enjoyable for both mothers and fathers. I have taken my little one to bloom classes since he was 6 weeks old and loved it every time! I have tried other sensory classes and nothing was as enjoyable & engaging as the bloom classes. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing school and fantastic teachers. Really made an effort to continue our daughters education during the lockdown. Fantastic facilities including cricket pitch, basketball courts, swimming pool, football pitch’s including astroturf. Could not recommend this school highly enough as it has a wonderful family feel to it that is lacking in other schools. We feel they really care not just about the education but the happiness and well-being of there students too.”

“I remember my anxiety levels with the thought of finding a suitable childcare provider to look after my son, soon as I stepped into Tiddlywinks I just knew this was the one!!!! Management were professional and approachable, allowing me to have a truly wonderful ‘look around’ experience. My son and niece both attend and they are flourishing. All the staff work extremely hard to provide OUTSTANDING childcare, catering to each child’s individual needs. The rooms are inviting, child friendly and always clean and fresh. The company itself, provide so many enjoyable experiences, such as trips and celebrations- the children even had a visit from Minnie and Mickey Mouse on their 30th nursery anniversary. The menu is nutritious and caters to all children’s specific dietary requirements. I would 100% recommend Tiddlywinks- I know quite a few of my friend’s children have joined already. Keep doing what you’re doing !! Thank you x”

“An amazing place to bring your child(ren). Each class is different and fun. Becky and Loz do a fantastic job of bringing so much excitement, colourful props. Their cheerful and empathetic personality, makes you feel valued. Me and my girl always looked forward to the classes. Thank you for offering your services which are highly recommended. If you've got a child or children under 4 please do them a favour and bring them to toddler sense. It was the best thing I ever done to bring my girl here. She loved this placed and so did I! ❤️”

“Can't recommend enough this baby sensory! Becky has been amazing in every aspect. My baby started when she was three months old . This week we had her 1 year old birthday party in the sensory area and it has been so great! Thank you for all the precious memories ❤️”

“I've been sending my children to Mulberry Bush (Dumers Lane) since 2018 and I'd never consider another nursery. The staff are fantastic, so friendly and welcoming, they form such a personal bond with the children. I feel happy and comfortable that they are there for my children whilst im work to give them many experiences (and cuddles!) When my 3rd child came along there was no question that I would also be sending him to Mulberry. They have external agencies come in to teach them languages, see different animals and even visits from the emergency services. They are outstanding in every area especially with safeguarding.”

“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”

“My son has recently joined the nursery and all the staff have been brilliant with him, particularly his two key workers. He has settled in really quickly and is very happy there. The outside space is an added bonus and is fantastic!”

“We have been delighted with the care and early education at Early Learning Daycare. Child led learning and a safe, fun setting with excellent staff has influenced our son's development in a very positive way.”

“I am lucky I got an very insperational teacher who guides me through my work in a way that I can understand. Happy to be his student.”

“its a really good school and enjoyed going there:)”

“Fantastic nursery if I could give 10 stars I would.The staff are all friendly and attentive.There’s different activities done with the children daily,my 2 year old has a strong bond with her key worker and in general has a great relationship with everyone and is very happy,she looks forward to attending.This is her 2nd nursery and Safari kindergarten far exceeds the 1st one.She also comes home clean not like the previous place.Would highly recommend!”

“Nice worker I have you have to believe that helps out there in a situation you don't understand 100/per cent to Diane for the support and the staff at the SS for being there”

“Lovely school hard-working headteacher”

“My son has attended Rossendale School for the last 18 months. I can not believe the difference in him. He has made so much progress in his time at rossendale and has built up good relationships with his key worker and key members of staff. He is making academic progress and there is a fantastic home/school relationship. The school support my son and us as a family and communication has been excellent. My son now has friends in school too and is encouraged to use and practice skills he is learning not only in school but in the community. The school is in a fantastic setting, calm and inviting which really benefits my sons need to be in a calm, quiet environment. It is a small school and that often benefits children who have ASD, ADHD etc due to the smaller class sizes and being able to familiarize themselves with their surroundings. A massive thank you to all the staff at Rossendale ❤”

“Brilliant staff and loving teachers. My child used to go to their nursery. Mrs. Gilmore and Mrs. Holmes has been very kind and loving to him. He now goes to another school but misses his teachers and his old school 'St. Michaels' a lot.”
