Children's books in Manchester

“It was my first escape room and it was really fun. Our host Sham and all the other staff was super nice and helpful. We got guided through the escape room and eventually managed to solve it with a little help. 10/10 experience would definitely recommend. We did the blackbeard's treasure room, but i'm sure the other ones are fun as well”

“We booked Sam for our wedding last Thursday. I got to say he was very outstanding. Firstly, so polite and on time. Secondly, all our friends and family spoke so highly of him and absolutely loved the tricks. Was lovely to have him as part of the day. He also did a finishing trick for me and my wife which was a lovely touch as we were busy getting photos and stuff most of the time he was there. Would recommend Sam to anyone 10/10, thanks again”

“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!”

“We have been seeing Jenny for over 2 years since our son was 8 weeks old. He was born with Spina Bifida, we started going to Jenny to ensure he was meeting all his mobility milestones. Jenny is really experienced and knowledgeable, helped so much with advice, and lots of tasks to practice at home. Seeing Jenny has been one of the best decisions we made. Our son has full mobility and probably would have had anyway however having regular appointments has given us the opportunity to learn how to help his walking journey with confidence and guidance. She has picked up on things we wouldn’t spot which helped when we meet with the consultants. Would really recommend”

“Fantastic magician! Kept all the kids engaged from start to finish and was very patient with them. Highly recommend!”

“We played Space Evaders and Ellen was our host. She explained the game well and only gave clues when we really needed them which was great. The game itself was really fun, we did it as a team of 4 and there was plenty for each of us to do. We've played many escape rooms before and this room offered a loads of puzzles and with varying difficulty, so something for everyone. Would recommend!”

“A hidden gem. My son had his 5th birthday party there today and had a fantastic time. The staff (especially our party host and who l believe to be the manager) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble, nothing felt rushed and all the children looked like they were having a great time. Very reasonable prices too which is a bonus! will definitely be visiting there again soon.”

“Amazing place for birthday parties. We so much enjoyed everything! The staff was so lovely, kind and quick. I totally recommend it!”

“Absolutely loved this hotel. It is a short walking distance from the train station, easy to access. The building looks amazing and the rooms are just fab! It is a proper hotel room but very well equipped even had a small kitchen installed giving a feeling of an RBnb so you can cook your own meals if you want. Nice and clean bathroom with some nice brands of shampoo and body wash. Also had iron and hair dryer. Oh, and the view was stunning, staff was superfriendly. Wifi was quick, easy to connect and even the staircase looks beautiful. Highly recommended accomodation if you visit Manchester.”

“Watched The Lion King at the Palace Theatre and it was absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere in the theatre itself is grand and historic, with great acoustics and comfortable seating. The performance was world-class, from the costumes and stage design to the music, everything was magical and immersive. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organised. Truly one of those shows that stays with you long after the curtain falls. Highly recommend both the venue and the production!”

“I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Martenscroft Nursery School, an establishment that truly stands out in providing a nurturing environment for our little ones. From cleanliness to professionalism, this nursery excels in every aspect. The heart of any successful nursery lies in its staff, and at Martenscroft Nursery School, the team is nothing short of amazing. Romessa, Salma, Jo, Lucy, Fatimah, Cathy, Maragaret, Jane, all staff are great. Their dedication to the well-being and development of the children is evident in every interaction. The staff members not only love children but also exude a passion for fostering their growth. Their warmth and genuine care create a positive atmosphere that puts both parents and children at ease. Aditionally, they have an expansive space provided for the children to play, both indoors and outdoors. The thoughtfully designed play areas offer a variety of activities that cater to the diverse interests and developmental needs of the children. I truly recommend Martenscroft to other parents seeking an exemplary nursery experience for their children. And note that they have a long wait list.”

“Wow. This has to be one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to! It’s located in the Northern Quarter (Manchester) and it’s situated in an urban area. When you walk inside, you are greeted with a calming fountain and a beautiful atmosphere, just as calming as the fountain. You talk to the staff, who are very nice and kind (10/10) and order your drink (if you want). There is also a wide array of affordable food, you can get cakes, chapatis and quesadillas as well. I ordered Karma Cola (sugar-free) which doesn’t taste like any other cola, it tastes better. The cola isn’t too sweet as well, compared to other colas. You explore around the cafe, curiously, and find the Library. Now, this library is the calmest library I’ve ever been to. Shelves are filled with books and the room is painted in an ambient brown, making it feel even more calming. You look around the library, head to toe in a sense of tranquil. No music is played here. It’s very quiet. You leave the cafe satisfied and calm. Overall, you need to try this cafe, it’s great. The staff are nice, it is affordable, drinks are high quality and if you are looking for a cafe where you can study or just relax, this is the right place for you.”

“What a lovely hotel! It was clean and comfortable! Everything was in good condition. Good stay after arriving in a late flight. I would return and recommend!”

“I had an excellent experience at Vapiano’s thanks to the outstanding service from a gentleman named Michael. He was friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. His warm attitude and professionalism made the visit truly enjoyable. Michael is a great example of exceptional customer service — he made my dining experience memorable.”

“The bowling alley is well maintained. Booking is recommended if you plan to go during weekends as it could get busy.”

“I feel is not big enough for what you pay but is not bad I give it 5 stars for all variety of fishes and playground for kids in side some activities but you have to pay extra for them the video I took is from the main aquarium inside witch is beautiful”

“Excellent. Explained everything in plain easy to understand english not medical terms.”

“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!”

“A fantastic nursery where all the staff are professional and caring. Both of my children have loved attending Toddlers. They really focus on each child and tailor their care and support individually. :-)”

“Professional and friendly dance school which provides classes from the age of 2 through to adults in lots of different styles. Lovely and welcoming teachers with fun classes.”

“This a a very well kept public car park. The lifts are clean and the attendant can often be see walking around on duty. Last month I miss placed my phone and when i rang it a kind gentleman answered only to tell me I had left it on the pay machine. He had it in his office waiting for me. When I arrived back the gentleman Patrick was very polite and opened the barrier so I don't have to pay for the car park again. He is a Real treasure, lovely meeting you Patrick. Keep up the good work.”

“A lovely local community hairdressers with such high quality haircare at an affordable price. I had a blow dry & straighten that I booked the same day & it was done by an excellent stylist. They really take the time to care for your hair. I’ll definitely be making the switch to Supreme as my long term hairdressers going forwards! I highly recommend.”

“My baby circumcision went very well . No complaints about any pain . I highly recommend that people bring their baby boy for circumcision at At Home Circumcision.”

“Children 4 Most nursery is truly an excellent nursery for our youngest child. When evaluating suitable nurseries, we were most impressed with Children 4 Most Hyde and this was helped by the fact its sister nursery elsewhere looked after our older two children excellently. What we love about Children 4 Most Hyde is the both the professionalism and warmth of the team there - there is so much confidence in the care of the team that minds our youngest child. He has dietary and health requirements and the team effortlessly take care of that, it's recorded on their systems and it is second nature to them. There are more things that we love about the nursery - the updates we get from the app showing what our child is up to, with photos and write ups - it is very impressive and makes us quite proud as parents and also of the team in the nursery. And finally, you only need to see our child when he goes to nursery in the mornings - so happy, walks triumphantly to his happy place. This is a clear hat tip to Children 4 Most nursery Hyde!”

“One of the best charity shops around! Lovely volunteers too”

“I visited here for the ‘Dance like a mother’ sessions and they were great. The lady on the front desk is warm and friendly and Sian from DLAM is a great teacher, very gentle to all postpartum mums. The sessions are fun and you want to come back week-on-week.”
