The 30 Best Children 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”

“Lloyd was a great host and the escape room was top notch. Went for my sons 11th birthday and we played the scare floor one (great for Monsters Inc fans). Really well set up, some tricky puzzles and Lloyd shouts up when you are going in the wrong direction.. definitely recommend.”

“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! ❤️”

“Jeff was amazing!! Highly recommended, children loved their balloons. Thanks again! :)”

“Freddie Fantastic is phenomenal!!! What a star. Charismatic and genuinely funny - my children laughed the whole way through. We initially experienced him online for a school event and just had to have him for my daughter's birthday last March. He gave a brilliant magic class, where the kids were in hysterics and kept engaged the whole time. I cannot recommend Magic4children enough. Thank you!”

“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!”

“I’m very pleased with AMS Circumcisions Clinic. The process took about 15 minutes, and the staff were helpful throughout. The clear messages and guidance on aftercare, swelling, and bathing made recovery easier. Sending photos for reassurance was a great option. I would definitely recommend AMS Circumcisions Clinic to family and friends.”

“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!”

“I can honestly say this school feels like a second home. From the very first day, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the teachers made it easy to settle in. They really care, not just about grades, but about each student as a person. What I appreciate most is the sense of community – you don’t just come here to learn, you also feel supported, listened to, and encouraged to grow. It’s a place where children can learn home from home. The classrooms are bright and full of energy, and there’s always someone ready to help if you’re struggling. The school brings families together too, with events and activities that make you feel like you belong to something bigger. Whether it’s academics, creativity, or just finding your confidence, this school gives every student the chance to shine. It’s more than just a school – it’s a community. Anna was amazing helping us all the way through. Thank you”

“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.”

““I can’t recommend Mr. Ravi highly enough. In just five months, I went through three solicitors and one barrister before finding him. He stands out for his passion and dedication, and I’ve never come across anyone so committed to their work.””

“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”

“Carina has done 2 of the most excellent photoshoots for us. A newborn shoot capturing the whole family as well as our new arrival and a cake smash which was incredible and tailored to exactly what we wanted. I cannot recommend her enough to capture all those precious family moments!”

“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.”

“Nestled in the bustling heart of Manchester Arndale at Unit R3, Halle Place, Market Street (M4 3AQ), Immersive Gamebox transforms a compact room into a high-octane augmented reality playground. This isn't your standard arcade—don lightweight motion-sensing visors, and suddenly, walls pulse with interactive projections, surround sound engulfs you, and every gesture controls the action. Games like Shaun the Sheep's Mossy Bottom Championsheeps or Angry Birds pit teams against puzzles, races, and battles, all in 60-minute bursts of collaborative chaos. For kids' parties around age 8, it's an absolute winner. Tailored for ages 8+, these experiences demand no prior gaming skills—just enthusiasm and movement. My group of eight-year-olds squealed through sheep-herding mini-games and alien invasions, their energy perfectly matched by the physical, team-based fun that builds camaraderie without screens glued to faces. Private boxes for 2-6 players (multiple for larger parties) mean no strangers crashing the vibe, and dedicated birthday packages add pizza, fries, and unlimited squash in a post-game lounge—pure party fuel for £20-£30 per child.”

“From our first visit with Helen through to the completion of our kitchen the whole process was seamless and flawless throughout. The design and creation was incredible and nothing was too much trouble. The installation was meticulously planned and a booklet was given with dates, names and numbers of everyone involved so we knew exactly what was happening and when. I honestly cannot recommend Prescott and Joule enough. I have the kitchen of dreams and I'm incredibly grateful and happy. Thank you so much Prescott and Joule!”

“It was the most positive experience for me, my partner and our son. Staff are supportive and reassuring, with a warm welcoming persona as soon as you arrive. The atmosphere is calming, and an overall positive and comfortable experience. The environment itself is immaculate. Staff's kindness, patience, and helpfulness, shines though as well as their ability to answer questions and deliver information in a gentle manner.”

“Dr Hibbert performed the procedure on my 12 day old daughter today after 3 midwives could not agree if my daughter did in fact have tongue tie. His assessment was professional and comprehensive and he discussed every option available to us. The procedure was performed with proficiency and care and my anxieties were reassured by the directions and advice provided. The after effect was incredible, I had immediate relief of any previous feeding pain/discomfort and my daughter's latch and ability to feed clearly improved. I would recommend Dr Hibbert to anyone seeking support with tongue tie even just for a clear and concise assessment and professional opinion.”

“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”

“The teachers here are very supportive and understand each child’s individual needs. My child is happy and always participated in new activities and her confidence has grown tremendously. Thank you so much Manchester learning zone! Highly recommended ❤️”

“Fabulous service as usual! I love this shop. Izzy and her team are so knowledgeable and the choice of shoes is great! We’ll be back soon.”

“I took my 2-year-old there for a routine check-up. She was seen promptly, and we had a great experience.”

“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!”

“We did the Dark Ages and it was brilliant! We found it challenging all the way though! Olivia was amazing and very friendly! Highly recommend”

“We have had a wonderful experience here. My daughter loves it! Settled so well in the baby room when she started, and now on to visits in pre school ready for that transition! Highly recommend!”

“Always been top class in customer service, had multiple weddings in the family and Andaaz has always helped us, we’ve bought shalwar kameez and waistcoats and prince jackets for big groups of boys and men, it’s so nice when all the boys are dressed the same on those special days. They are very affordable compared to other brands and the quality is beautiful and I cannot complain. Every year me and my family also buy Jubbas for eid from their wide selection and all sorts of other Islamic items (Tasbihs, prayer hats, abayas etc). May Allah bless their business immensely!”
