Child development in Manchester

“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! ❤️”

“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!”

“Alison is very friendly and passionate in teaching, she is always energetic with big smiles to the children and parents. We are glad to see our daughter building up her confidence with facial expressions more confidently.”

“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 ❤️”

“Can not recommend Puddle Ducks enough. Made to feel so welcome, super friendly staff and a lovely set up! Highly highly recommend! X”

“We absolutely adore Siân's SEN Holiday Forest School Sessions. We joined in the summer of 2023 and quickly fell in love with the holiday sessions. It can be quite challenging when our usual group activities come to a halt, as our entire family thrives on structure and routine. Our daughter has an immense passion for the outdoors and revels in any messy or sensory play. If it were up to her, she'd make the great outdoors her permanent home! Right from day one, Sian extended a warm welcome and dedicated time to truly understand how our daughter prefers to engage. She has patiently built a strong connection with our daughter at her own pace. The activities provided are nothing short of amazing, especially for our daughter, who immerses herself fully in sensory experiences (as you can see in the photos!). Furthermore, the lunch and snacks offered here are fantastic. Our daughter can be quite particular about her safe and unsafe foods, but every visit here has her enjoying the delicious lunch provided. We sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating safe and nurturing environments for children with special educational needs. ❤️”

“Early inspirations is an absolute amazing nursery. My daughter is 2 years old and she has settled in that nursery very well. The daily activities help to develop my daughter's learning and I have seen a massive improvement in my daughter's understanding and learning development. Thanks to the staff, everyone there are soo friendly and helpful, I like this nursery very much. I appreciate all the hard work the staff go through Thank you”

“From the moment we walked through the doors, Tiny Steps has exceeded all of our expectations! The staff made us feel welcome, supported, and confident in the care they provide. The nurturing environment, thoughtful curriculum, and genuine love shown to the children have been outstanding. Our child has grown emotionally, socially, and intellectually during their time here. Each day is filled with engaging activities, outdoor play, and lots of learning through fun. The staff are not only professional and well-trained, but also warm, approachable, and truly invested in each child’s development. What sets this nursery apart is the level of individual attention and care. The communication with parents is excellent — we always feel informed and included. Most importantly, our child is excited to go every morning and comes home smiling and full of stories. We’re incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful place. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and enriching start to their child’s early years.”

“Brilliant interaction with Children and parents. My son is so happy going to Pre school and is learning so much whilst here. Staff are helping massively with toilet training. Meals that are provided are perfect i get notifications on the app to say when he has eaten and how much, really puts a parents mind at rest knowing he is in the right place and being cared for. Staff put your mind at rest if you have any concerns. Lead by a brilliant manager !! Manchester Hyde team are amazing !!!”

“My daughters have been going here for 2 and half years now. One of my daughters has quite complex medical needs and the nursery staff couldnt be more helpful with her. Always asking for updates on how to best support her.”

“I've been impressed by the level of consideration, compassion, thought and care shown by the team at Tiptoes. The clinical supervision is of a class and quality that I'd not previously experienced and I valued it greatly. The office is mostly on one level so is very accessible though I think the toilet may present a challenge for wheelchair users to access unaided. It's a comfortable and welcoming environment that's open and friendly. They have an impressive array of therapeutic services available to children, families, staff and organisations. I've found my contact with this service transformational.”

“Emma is a great therapist with a lot of knowledge and skills to help improve a mental health. She's very warm and positive character and I could not find a better one for my son. It brought a lot of benefits for him and me as his mother. Strongly recommend !”

“My daughter loves here. This place is more than a school /nursery. The teachers are so caring and loving-kindness people... They treat my daughter like someone of theirs family.I see a lot of affection on their part with us parents too. Besides that it is impressive how they put all effort to create new and different activities all based on Montessori approach. I really could see changes in my daughter since the begging. She became more confident, concentrated and with More self- esteem.”

“My daughter has been going to little voices for a few months now and she absolutely loves it, her concentration is noticeably improved and she cant wait to go back every week”

“Brilliant coach, makes the lesson around you. Suitable for any age, and anyone who wants to improve their balance and coordination.”

Thank you paintpots for looking after my girl”
