Child development stages in Manchester

“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.”

“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.”

“My little girl loves coming to nursery always smiling when she coming home. Staff are amazing with her and all the other children the managers and directors will go above and beyond to make sure all parents are happy with the service they get at the nursery and will sort any problems out straight away if needed. Thank you paintpots for looking after my girl”

“Amazing staff and children are looked after well”

“My daughter literally grew up here since she turned one! Everything was perfect with some really amazing staff! Really sad to see this wonderful nursery close down soon. We will keep our fingers crossed and hope everything turns out okay.”

“Absolutely love Juice Nursery! My little one started there at age 2 a nervous little thing who would barely eat when she wasn't at home and was reluctant to join in with group activities. With patience and care from the lovely staff at Juice, my daughter is now super confident. She joins in with p.e and yoga. She also started there with a dairy allergy which thankfully she has now grown out of. Juice have been excellent at ensuring she always has something on the menu and have worked with me along the milk ladder to help my little one now move off the dairy free diet. Most of all I really like the community feel at Juice. All the staff and children seem to have made a little family. I know my daughter will be sad to go when she starts school next September.”

“This is the best nursery for my kids and the really love it, the manager Anjum is a lovely person. My oldest child is going to be 4 in September her supervisor is Auni she is brilliant. My daughter . learn a lot in the nursery like how to share things I do really recommend very polite, respectful, and friendly staff I am really satisfied with them.”

“My son’s been attending here now since just after the Easter half term this year. My sons developed in so many ways , he can be quite stubborn at the best of times , standards here are super high and work with every single child needs no matter how high or how low. Staff are incredibly on form with teaching and how they run things and have a very highly standard of professionalism which you can see. They are open and honest with each parent . Reporting back each day if anything needs to be addressed or reported. There on form with everything. Highly recommended nursery for your child to go too especially if your wanting a nursery for your child with such high standards of learning and still at the same time as your child being able to still be a child at the same time”

“Kidzrus Monton is an incredible nursery. It’s so reassuring as a parent to know both my girls are in such a nurturing and loving environment. They have both flourished at Kidzrus, developing their confidence and learning new skills which has been amazing to see. All the team are amazing and their dedication to the children is outstanding. I couldn’t have asked for a better nursery to watch my girls grow and thrive”

“My son attends nursery full time, all the staff at the nursery are really friendly and welcoming. My son loves being at nursery he is always so happy to go and I love all the updates I get on how he is doing throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier with the care being provided. Special mention to Katie in baby room who has help him settle into nursery life so well we can’t thank her enough for what she has done for him since starting”

“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.”

“Both of our children have been to Honeybear nursery from 9 months till starting school (or soon is currently in the preschool room) and we couldn't be happier with the care there. The staff are absolutely fantastic, the kids play outdoors lots and form lovely friendships too. I've recommended it to many people!”

“Our daughter started at Fisherfield Nursery last September after receiving many recommendations from other parents. She has done a full year there now and we couldn't recommend it enough. She settled in wonderfully, and we feel so reassured by the care and attention she receives. The staff are approachable and accommodating, always ready to address any questions we have. It's been lovely to receive daily updates, including photos of her happily participating in various activities. We have also had the opportunity to spend time with her in nursey during special events that they have held. She is thriving, and it’s clear that the nursery provides a nurturing and engaging environment for her to do so.”

“Little ways is a wonderful nursery, and a seminal influence on my daughter. She has loved attending so much, has developed loads and describes the staff as her friends. I am always in awe of the range if activities they do, eg washing pumpkins, trips to Manchester museum and sports days!”

“Aqua Babies: A Weekly Dose of Joy and Confidence Building. Aqua Babies Timperley has become the absolute highlight of our week, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we stepped into the pool, we were met with a truly warm and welcoming team. Their genuine enthusiasm and gentle approach immediately put both my son and myself at ease. Our instructor is fantastic, demonstrating a real passion for what they do. They create a nurturing environment where little ones can explore the water at their own pace. What's truly wonderful to witness is my son's growing confidence. Each week, he's becoming more comfortable and adventurous in the water, and it's all thanks to the patient and encouraging guidance he receives. Seeing him progress from tentative splashes to happy, independent movements is an absolute joy. The classes are thoughtfully structured and always include fun songs and games. It's clear that the team has a deep understanding of child development, and they tailor the activities to suit each child's individual needs. Beyond the excellent instruction, it's the friendly and supportive atmosphere that truly sets Aqua Babies apart. The team remembers each child's name, celebrates their achievements, and makes every session feel like a special occasion. It's a pleasure to attend, not just for my son's development, but also for the sense of community and connection we've found. If you're looking for a baby swimming class that combines expert instruction with a genuinely warm and welcoming environment, Aqua Babies Timperley is the perfect choice. It's been an absolute delight to watch my son flourish, and we look forward to our weekly swim with immense anticipation. Gemma & Jude Brookes”

“My daughter started here 2 years ago and is just about to leave and move onto school. During this time she has had the most lovely care by all of the staff. They take part in some wonderful activities. To see her run to the door ( and more recently ) gave me sit outside early as she can’t wait to get in, is a credit to the staff. Thank you for always taking such good care of my daughter and I’m feeling sad to be leaving”

“Had a party there which was amazing room was really good size lots of room bar staff was really good”

“My little boy attends Playdays and we are very happy with the care that he receives. This is a fantastic nursery with excellent facilities. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are focussed on his development and they look at children individually. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends”

“The best nursery around! Can’t thank the staff enough for how they looked after my daughter, they go above and beyond for all of the children. My daughter has thrived since attending the village nursery and her confidence has come on leaps and bounds.”

“This nursery is fantastic & my little boy loves it and has come on so much since starting there I would recommend it & the staff there are so lovely & friendly and I know my boy is in good safe hands there”

“We have been more than happy with this nursery. They are happy and welcoming and the activities they do with the children are linked back to the EYFS. The children play out lots and my child has built some lovely relationships with the other children and the staff too!”

“My two children absolutely love First steps, they have been there since they were 8 months and 2 attending a couple of days and now 2 and 4 attending full time Monday to Friday. Every room they’ve been in and moved up into has been brillliant. They have lots of outside time and lots of structured activities as well as free play too, they come home with so many things they’ve made that they’re so proud of! Too many to name but all staff have been amazing, I’ve seen mostly the same faces the whole time as turnover is so low and my children have adored everybody, they’ve made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving them knowing they’re so well looked after, there’s a real family feel. Ian, Luke and Tina have been brilliant, so organised in their management of everything and so helpful with flexibility where I’ve needed. So glad my kids have spent their first years here!”
