Community based care in Manchester

“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. ❤️”

“I honestly don’t think you can get a team that could make you feel so comfortable. Both myself and my son have been for V02 max tests. It’s makes no difference if you are an athlete or just a general runner wanting to improve. The staff are just so welcoming and supportive. We love this place.”

“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.”

“This place most definitely has one of the best members of staff in the entire medical profession . They are incredibly thoughtful, helpful, kind , friendly, supportive, welcoming, tolerant, respectful, and understanding. I am particularly impressed by their willingness to listen , help, support with genuine consideration, empathy, compassion and understanding. I don’t know all their names but will forever recognise all their kind faces. Thank you so much to Katie, Bethany, Kerri , Nicola, Porlette. Faustina, Gillian, Elaine, Rekha, Tracy, Saranya, Norman , physiotherapists, occupational therapists, carers, nurses, support workers and every single one of them. I am truly very grateful for the care, kindness , support, tolerance, and consideration shown towards my mum by everyone it is indeed very much appreciated.”

“Great and friendly support groups... helping out in office”

“I highly recommend intraquest, paula and her team are outstanding at what they do all in a professional and friendly way .my child never felt overwhelmed or uncomfortable with the questions and games .we were shown compassion and understanding whilst feeling fully supported at all times .”

“We absolutely love Grosvenor Nursery! As parents from Hong Kong raising our son here in the UK, it means a lot to find a place where he is not only safe, but truly cared for. The teachers here are warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child’s well-being. One lovely surprise was when they gave my son a bilingual book in Cantonese and English — such a thoughtful gift that really touched our hearts. It shows how inclusive and considerate the staff are, making sure every child feels seen and supported. If you’re looking for a nursery where your child will be cared for like family, this is the place. Highly recommended to all parents!”

“My grandson loves little munchkins nursery. He brings me and nanna paintings and special drawings home all of the time. Its a lovely clean happy nursery with dedicated staff to look after our little man.”

“My name is Ahlam, I am 19 years old, and my student number is 1485206. I’m really proud to be in my second year at The Manchester College, Shena Simon Campus. I’m really enjoying my time here.The teachers and staff are so supportive and helpful. I’ve learned a lot and feel more confident every day. It’s a great place to study! Last year, I completed the ESOL (16-18) Entry 3 course with the teacher Mark Gourlay , which helped me build my English skills and confidence. This year, I’m studying Functional Skills English and Maths with the adult group, and I’m really enjoying it. The teachers here are fantastic — my Maths teacher, Maryama Gholami, and my English teacher, Nuzhat Siddique, and my IT Teacher Asif Saleh are all very supportive, kind, and always explain everything clearly. They always take the time to help every student and make sure we all understand the lesson. The staff are else very helpful and friendly. Whenever I need help or have a question, there is always someone there to support me. The college offers so many great facilities, and the learning environment is very comfortable and welcoming. I’ve learned so much since I joined, not just in English and Maths, but also about communication, teamwork, and confidence. I feel really happy and safe here, and I enjoy coming to college every day. The Manchester College has given me a great experience, and I’m very thankful to be part of it. I would definitely recommend this college to anyone who wants to improve their skills and achieve their goals.”

“My daughter has been at Bubbly Bear Nursery now for around 16 months and we have been really happy with our choice to send her to Bubbly Bear. The staff are always so friendly and she has built a really good relationship with all the staff. Communication is always very good from staff and management. After each day we always get a run down of the day and also via the Nursery story app. I think ultimately my daughter is happy, always tells us when she is home of all the fun she has been up to with her friends and the other staff. Her confidence has grown although she is quite shy and look forward to seeing her develop over the next year or so before she moves on to reception. I would highly recommend Bubbly Bear to any parents looking for a really warm friendly environment for their children to develop in their early years.”

“My son attends this school and Insh'Allah so will my daughter. I think the staff and facilities are very good. This is still a very young school and I feel that it is continually getting better. My son used to attend a long established grammar school and I feel they are very comparable, however, here my son learns about Islamic values.”

“Amazing staff and children are looked after well”

“Saved my life and I know many others that have been Saved by this place and it's easy to find if you open your eyes”

“Amazing staff in all year groups”

“The staff members and teachers of blue room are really nice ,very supportive and friendly . Always welcoming my child with a smile and comforting her all times.Showing patience .Amazing experience. Keep it up”

“As a pupil there I have to say it's a good school.”

“Called in this afternoon to give a blood sample for a routine health check. Now I'm not ordinarily phased by anything medical, but when it comes to giving blood, think 'Tony Hancock, The Blood Donor' (look it up on YouTube - comedy genius). Anyway, long story short, the Practice Nurse, Caron, was absolutely marvellous - put me completely at ease. Took the blood from the back of my hand - done and dusted within a matter of minutes. Can't praise her enough!”

“I had a good experience with this company. They kept me updated when it came to appointments and if they had to be cancelled etc. I had Ruth as my therapist and she was great, very understanding always made me positive after an appointment.”

“Staff were lovely, no sure what the negative reviews are about. They were kind,listening, and supportive”

“Excellent care at Arden Ward Stepping Hill Cannot praise the entire staff highly enough ,they are a superb compassionate caring skilled and expert team working hard for all patients. What started as a very scary experience became very rapidly a great healing process. The ward is modern and well looked after, constant cleaning,nice comfy chairs,great occupational therapy classes available each weekday, food is delivered cipus with home made soups and desserts and a choice of food daily. The nursing staff in their entirety including the night staff work extremely hard to support and encourage patients ,they're very skilled at encouraging healthy choices to assist healing. Nice touches like the 9 pm toast makes it surprisingly homely Don't be afraid if you have to stay-at-home the staff will care for you so well with dedication and enthusiasm.”
