“It's a fantastic college ever. The staff was very helpful and it's been wonderful. I can't stop talking about it. It's brilliant. Brilliant staff and two best tutors at Pathways I like. Nadya Drake and Thom Greensill.”

“Weyo Bigup the JD massive, Bigup Haydn Jason the boys”

“Hadija looked after my grandchild Akbar, and I can honestly say she is absolutely amazing at what she does. She's a true professional—firm when needed but always fair, kind, and nurturing. The children in her care are happy, respectful, and truly thrive under her guidance. Each day is filled with a variety of fun and educational activities, giving the kids so many wonderful experiences. You can really feel the love and thought she puts into everything. A special thank you as well to Ngugi—our little boy absolutely adored him! You both made such a difference in his early years. Thank you for being part of this lovely journey. You're a beautiful family with such warm hearts. We’re so grateful—and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional care!”

“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”

“Brilliant although very little parking.”

“My daughter joined the nursery 4 days a week over extended hours just before she turned 1. As a new parent I was really nervous about this but was immediately put at ease by the staff. My daughter started with a few settling in mornings and then began nursery the following week. Over the course of the 7 weeks I have seen my daughters progress updated on the ‘Famly’ app. This will tell you exactly what she has eaten and drank and how much, nappy changes and her sleep. The app is also updated with key information for the nursery along with pictures and progress of your child. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough, when my daughter leaves for nursery in the mornings she happy to go and she comes home with a beaming smile and I can tell she’s had lots of fun. The staff at the nursery will go above and beyond to ensure not only your child is settled within the nursery but also check you are ok and send pictures and updates throughout those first few days.”

“i attended the ‘hello darling’ queer party here. everything from the security to the ticket attendees and the actual event itself was a 10/10 experience. i’ve been to the venue before and i will definitely go back! side note. i would recommend ear plugs as it’s a small venue it’s very loud :)”

“Excellent venue for large meetings in theatre style.”

“Very very very fast WiFi, a good place to come and relax with the family. A good place to come and eat food and drink refreshments. Had no problems with this place 10/10”

“A lovely little church hall with great facilities. Does lots of good work for their community. Accessible with helpful staff.”

“Lived there for a year, felt safe and great community and my flat was well maintained :)”

“Went to see daughter at a dance showcase. Nice little theatre attached to a school.”

“My son has recently joined the nursery and all the staff have been brilliant with him, particularly his two key workers. He has settled in really quickly and is very happy there. The outside space is an added bonus and is fantastic!”

“Our daughter currently attends Ramillies Hall Nursery and she is absolutely thriving, thanks to the kind, caring, nurturing and dedicated team of staff. The Nursery is set in beautiful surroundings which the children are lucky enough to regularly enjoy. The children spend hours outside playing, engaging in planned activities and heading off on welly walks through the grounds and fields. Communication is also spot on, if you have any concerns on drop off, the staff happily keep you updated throughout the day. You are also regularly updated with your child’s progress, including meetings and written reports and most importantly the feedback you receive, certainly in our case, highlights how well the staff know your child. Overall our daughter is happy, she loves Nursery and the staff who care for her. We couldn’t recommend Ramillies highly enough!”

Her professionalism, patience, and warm attitude truly make a difference, and I deeply appreciate her guidance.”

“I had an excellent experience at Chaiwala with Hazera. She was outstanding at everything very polite, calm, and kind throughout. The service was welcoming and professional, making it a truly great experience. Highly recommended! Thank you”

“I have been with hoot for a few years now, I have a Christmas savers and a loan. Always happy never had any issues”

“Good deal on Group-on at time of writing. This place is great, clean, well priced with loads to do. There's a play frame, climbing walls, leap of faith, death drop, high climb and a caving section too (some are extra on admission). The cafe is well priced, with a good selection. We only did the play frame today but will most definitely be back to try the rest out.”

“Perfect coffee for when you are just leaving the station and wish to be nearer the center. Very friendly and warm welcoming staff.”

“Avoid venue for a Bury Cine Club meeting. Members of another user group friendly in directing me to my room. Close to Metro station, but hard to find in fog!”

“Great facilities for parents and children”

“I recently completed a one-year stay at Broadside, and I am beyond impressed with the incredible team that made my experience memorable. From the friendly leasing office staff to the efficient maintenance team, every interaction was positive and professional. The entire concierge team, of Monika, Precious, Jon and I'm forgetting the name of the other bloke (sorry), were also part reason why I extended by contract by 6 more months. They were just amazing at their work and exceptionally good with people. The management team of Jenna and Zvi were quite professional and helpful in every manner. The amenities, social events, convenience, and location in the city were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere made Broadside feel like home. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay truly amazing. I highly recommend Broadside to anyone looking for a fantastic place to live!”

“Hyde Leisure Pool is a fantastic place for families looking for affordable fun. We had a great time — the pool is clean, well-managed, and full of fun features like slides, waves, and a lazy river. It’s especially good for kids, and the environment felt safe and friendly. The entry fee is very reasonable compared to other water parks, making it a great value day out. Highly recommended for a fun and budget-friendly family experience!”

“This is a great local leisure centre it has all you need. I use the gym and pool 4 nights a week, but there are so many other activities available.”

“Attend the gym and classes on a regular basis. Equipment is more than adequate and people are always lovely. The staff even ‘rescued’ a couple of flasks I’d left in the football pitches and kept them until I was next it. Very much appreciated it.”

“Had my grandsons 2nd birthday party here today 13/8/23 such a good venue and also keeping money within the local community will definitely book again, the centre just have one rule which is leave it in the same condition that you found it. Thanks Maureen will be seeing you for the next booking x”
