They both are super friendly, available, professional and in a minute they have understood my needs. it absolutely feel like back home in Italy. Alessandro and Francesco are really two superstars and can'twait to go back there! I strongly recommend to visit them and enjoy your new hair style!”

“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!”

“Honestly footlights has been such an amazing experience for me, it’s genuinely supported me throughout my life and given me something to look forward to every weekend. I’ve been going to footlights since I was six and have made so many incredible memories and met just the most amazing people. Apart from learning to sing, dance and act, footlights is so much more than that! It’s a family and being apart of it is something I will never forget!!”

“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”

“A great bjj gym with friendly members and excellent coaches. Would recommend for people looking for gyms in Manchester, whether they’re beginners or experienced.”

“I attended the Monday acting class at mindful acting last week. I was extremely impressed by the whole class, from the teacher to the friendly, welcoming and supportive vibe. Unfortunately as I don't live in Manchester I can't attend every week, but I will definitely be back again and would recommend to all actors and aspiring actors. Thanks, Christopher Heyworth-Hill”

“I have done Act4TV since I was 11 years old. Since coming back as an adult I love it just as much as I did back then! The classes are unique and energetic and really helpful! Joe gives some brilliant advice that has helped me an awful lot. I’d recommend Act4TV to anyone :)”

“I’ve just returned from a 3-week course in Manchester and loved every minute of it! The teachers were fantastic, super friendly and I learned a lot, even in such a short time. The staff made me feel really welcome, and my host family was absolutely amazing. I felt at home from day one! Thanks IH Manchester for everything”

“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. ❤️”

“Brilliant! Both my children attend classes with Adam and they LOVE it! Adam is a fantastic coach. The sessions are varied and interesting. The children are always smiling and coming here has definitely boosted their confidence. Highly recommended.”

“An amazing 3 year journey with Aim High. My daughter has enjoyed her online lessons with fabulous teachers who not only teach but interact to make the lessons enjoyable. My daughter was confident to sit her GCSE’s especially after having the extra booster sessions. Communication has been excellent and I greatly appreciate catering for our last minute needs. I would highly recommend Aim High, an asset service to our young leaders.”

“Good community centre, excellent coffee morning each month,line dancing and music and movement weekly plus children's dance classes”

“Grateful for the invaluable opportunity to study at AMBS over the last two years. Interacting with a diverse cohort of individuals from various academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds has been incredibly inspiring. The Global MBA experience here goes beyond the curriculum, offering profound management skills and broadening horizons. Studying at AMBS was especially impactful for me, coming from both technical and humanities backgrounds rather than a business one. It provided precisely what was needed to acquire essential knowledge, skills, and a network, fostering a more business-minded perspective.”

“Fantastic community centre, with regular community events that are fun for the whole family. There is a great selection of community groups that use the centre, I'm sure you could find something of interest here.”

“I came here for Japan week to see a theatre performance and it was fantastic. HOME is a nice theatre with a cinema as well, staff are friendly inside and the theatre is small but comfortable, good view of the stage.”

“Thank you for providing this hall for my sons first birthday. It was big enough to fit everyone in and the communication from the caretaker was great too, each time we had a question he was reachable on his phone. Will highly recommend.”

“- lovely staff members - so many events on! - love going to alkrington craft market there - good room to hire if you’re hosting an event”

“The Northmoor community,,, I will give full stars because I have been involved as student and volunteer. My experience with them was fruitful in all my way which I have been enriching my skills and knowledge, so the team is very kind and helpful to me. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to be part of the community that gives us more information how to be a good citizen and be cooperative with each other.”
