Child nurturing environments in Manchester

“My experience with Cherubs Day Nursery (Sale) has been brilliant. All the staff at nursery are always helpful and looks after my son well, this is evidence as he clearly enjoys & looks forward to attending nursery daily! The staff are also great at communicating with us, which has helped us to adopt a consistent disciplining approach between home and nursery.”

“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.”

“The best nursery we could have picked for our daughter. We chose Kinder Giggles because it was small and has a family feel to it. My daughter was born during lockdown and had some health issues and i felt supported by the staff in making sure she was safe and settled. She absolutely loves her time at nursery with all of her friends. We are kept up to date with all of the amazing activities they do throughout the day. Management have always been approachable and flexible if I have needed to change days or times. We have used other nurseries in the area for my other child and feel they have not been at the same standard as what kinder Giggles is. Thanks everyone for all of your hard work xx”

“My son is currently in pre school 1 and he Ioves going to nursery. All of the staff are excellent and everything is well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“my son started this nursery when he was 6 months old, very small, and has left now after 3 years. from the first day they always took care of him, especially Alina who followed my son at every step he took, even when she was no longer in his room. For 3 years my son left them happy and with a smile every day and this is important for a parent. he did many activities and learned many things together with them. thanks again. Gabriel will miss you so much. obviously I recommend this nursery for your child.”

“My son has come Your nursery since he 9 months old. The staff really put you at ease as a parent and our son loves them all! His communication skills improve daily and he clearly loves attending the nursery. We are very happy and can't fault the nursery, would highly recommend :)”

“Thank you so much Carisbrook Day Nursery! You have made a big difference in our child’s life! He’s so happy in nursery and is learning a lot! Thank you to the staffs who are so loving and amazing too! We are very grateful! I would recommend the nursery any day any time.”

“My daughter has been going to Space Station since she was 14 months old. She has been very happy in all the rooms from babies through to Waddlers and Toddlers. She loves playing and dancing with her little friends and the staff make a really big effort with lots of great activities and themed weeks. Kim - the manager - is always very responsive, helpful and accommodating and was from our very first visit to look around. My daughter used reusable nappies and staff were happy to accommodate these too. I would definitely recommend Space Station!”

“Great nursery, the staff are really friendly, they are fantastic with our son, there is always a huge variety of activities to keep him entertained. He has developed a huge amount since going there. We're very happy with Monkey Puzzle.”

“The Yaqadoodle team have been amazing at helping us and our son transition into their setting! It's a lovely and cozy place where they've gotten to know our boy really well. He has grown so much much in the months that he's been there!”

“My daughter has just left Bright Futures to start reception. She attended the nursery from 11 months old and during this time I can not fault Bright Futures for the care and attention they gave her. All the staff accommodated her individual needs, constantly checked in with me about her development, I received regular updates about her week, she loved the food provided and most importantly they provided a safe environment for her throughout the time she was there. I would highly recommend Bright Futures.”

“I would like to really thank Mike for the continuous support and updates through the recruitment process and for understanding. Mike was available out of hours and always got back to me, he sent me links and helped me prepare for the interview. It was a really quick process and I thank this company so much, I highly recommend this company and I couldn't of done it without your help or support. Thanks again :)”

“In 2015, after visiting 10 nurseries for our daughter we chose Canterbury Rd Day Nursery and we were very happy with our decision. The rooms, staff, play areas and management were and are excellent. Each day you receive a 'report' of what your child has done and now there is the online portal Capture where you see pictures and updates about your child plus you can upload your own too. There are 2 cooks that deliver healthy and varied meals with seasonal changes. There are regular events held at the nursery or local hall and parents evening twice a year. My daughter loved it there and now so does my son. If you are looking for a nursery for your child then I would highly recommend choosing Canterbury Rd.”

“Our daughter has had a fantastic experience at My Time. She began attending casually on Fridays around her first birthday, and the induction process was very smooth. She bonded really well with staff and has continued attending occasionally, on an as needed basis, ever since - for over 18 months now. She's always really happy to attend and leaves smiling. I can't recommend it highly enough!”

“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.”

“My daughter has the best time with Jenny at Parsley Pie, she looks forward to every class and comes home filled with inspiration and her many completed projects.”

“My son loves going to this nursery, as parents we think the nursery staff have a clear understanding and genuine caring nature for the children they look after. The bond that our child has with the nursery staff is fantastic. When our child first joined we were understandable anxious about him starting nursery however the staff made the transition as painless as possible & now he walks in (most days!) with no problem at all. Such a great atmosphere in the nursery & the children are always having such fun & making a lot of mess that they enjoy so much!!”

“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.”

“Both my kids (1 1/2 and 3 1/2 years old) currently attend SCAMPs and they love it. The staff are very professional, caring to the children and friendly to us as parents. There are always so many different activities for the children to do including a good balance of creative, physical, musical activities etc. You can follow the progress of your children through their learning journals and continual feedback is given daily. There is plenty of outdoor space for the children and they have recently done up the outside with some new play installations. They are always looking for ways to improve which is a great culture to have. The setting on the edge of the park is lovely and great for the kids to watch the lawn mowers and 'tractors!'”

“Kip McGrath has played a crucial role in the development of my daughter for her 11+ preparation. The teachers are qualified to teach to the best possible standard. My girl's confidence has significantly improved since joining and had also prepared her for her oncoming 11 plus exam. I would definitely suggest this tuition to everyone.”

“School of Play has been awesome for our daughter. It is safe, secure, she is fully engaged with the activities and comes home smiling about her day. Would certainly recommend.”
