Creative arts in Ashton-under-lyne

“Well overdue and well deserved 5*! After discovering Symone via instagram, she worked with me to create my dream tattoo. Throughout the process, Symone was super responsive, providing updates along the way and always kept me in the loop with her design progress and creative ideas. The studio is gorgeous, a super relaxed space where I felt comfortable and safe. Symone answered all my (probably annoying) questions and made me feel at ease the whole time. 3 day sittings later I have a gorgeous, permanent art piece and I will be back for more. Highly recommend!”

“Such a lovely nursery. All staff members are very friendly and so lovely. My children absolutely love coming here and are constantly doing new activities which aid their learning. The rooms are very equipped with lots of fun things for all the children. I recommend this nursery for any child in the area.”

“My daughter loves going to Base. Fantastic teaching staff and classes, children are able to develop skills whilst enjoying themselves. Teachers give the children amazing opportunities to progress their skills”

“Very friendly and knowledgeable”

“Great school with fantastic teachers”

“We booked Circus Sensible for a party of 75 girls and the performers wowed with their magic tricks and stunts! The children then loved trying their hand at juggling, spinning plates, twirling Chinese Diabolo, walking on mini stilts, and even balancing peacock feathers on their fingertips! I'd definitely hire the Circus Sensible team again and recommend them to anyone looking for a unique party experience."”

“Amazing tattoo shop, friendly and welcoming :) Me and my mother in law walked in enquiring about a little sentimental tattoo shes been after for a while, within 15 mins she was seated and was being tattooed(she loved her tattoo), it was such a lovely environment and everyone was so nice to talk to xxx”

“I couldn't recommend Masquerade Tattoo enough, Mel's work is unreal. Through the booking and design process to the end result it was a great experience. Very warm and welcoming. Mel must have a very delicate touch as my sessions with her were the least pain I have ever experienced in the chair which is just a bonus. 10/10”

“Wow, what a fabulous show this afternoon at GLC. The Bridges of Madison county was exceptional. Thank you for making me a blubbering mess....in a good way. MAODS go from strength to strength!”

“I had an idea in my head that I wanted self harm scars covered up for a while with a tattoo and I wanted the tattoo to have meaning to my mental health battle too. I went in to give an idea of what I wanted and Chloe has absolutely smashed it out of the park. Whilst Chloe mainly specialises in more none text base pieces (art work etc), she still does an incredible job with text based pieces and having 0 clue with how I wanted my piece to look, her creativity meant I didn't have to worry whatsoever. I have a great piece now and I'm looking forward to going back to get the next details added to it. The owner of the studio Ash is a legend too and both are great to chat to and have a laugh with. Ash also does some incredible pieces and I could recommend either Ash or Chloe to anyone.”

“Fantastic job from start to finish. Mike takes great pride in his work and so he should it is outstanding. I cannot thank him Dayle and Paul enough. They were a pleasure to have in my home. My kitchen is outstanding . Truely reccomend these guys.”

“Just been to see Sister Act, brilliant show. Fantastic performance from everyone.”

“The nursery is amazing, they have lovely spacious rooms, that are always set up with beautiful activities. Staff and children are always engaging with children when I drop off and pick up my child. My child has settled pretty much straight away where he never really did this at his previous nursery, I'm so glad we have changed to little red. The manager is very accommodating and you can tell she is very much a family person and is involved with every child. The manager always welcomes you when she sees you, my child's key person is amazing and I'm so glad he's really settled with her and every other staff member. The baby and waddler room team are amazing and I’m so thankful for them, I love hearing about my little ones day when I pick him up.”

“Superb dance school for all ages .”

“We have been attending Dolphin babies since the New Year with our baby who was 3 months old at the time that he started his swimming lessons. When choosing a swim school, it was important to us that both my husband and I could attend the session with our baby as he has bad eczema which takes us both to get him ready before and after the session. For this reason, it was also important that the venue has good family changing facilities. When I have contacted Dolphin babies, Becky has been very informative and accomodating. The instructors have all been lovely and as a family, we all look forward to the session each week. My husband goes in the pool with our baby and enjoys the bonding time with him. We love that our baby is developing a vital life long skill and we can already see improvement from his first lesson. Our only wish is that the pool was warmer but that is of no fault of dolphin babies. We always recommend dolphin babies and were pleased when a friend booked the sessions for her baby too.”

“Amazing Massage from Julie, very relaxing. Lovely woman very easy to talk to no awkwardness 100% recommend and will be back. Thank you!”

“I have been visiting Tibor at the North of Winter studio for a few months now. We have been working on some new tattoos and reworking some of my old work from 20+ years ago. Tibor is professional, Friendly and very easy to get along with. He has some amazing ideas about how things will look and gives great advice on what he thinks will and won’t work. I am over the moon with the work Tibor has already done for me and look forward to much more!”

“Little Strikers is brilliant for teaching the kids from a young age their football skills and loads of other educational skills. My kids loved it too as the coaches make it fun and are very knowledgeable.”

“So glad I joined the senior hip hop group back in July this year, I've been a regular since. Great vibes, great welcoming team and great instructor (shootout to Miah)! 5/5 ♡♡♡”

“i love rosehill i study there very nice school 10/10”

“My son and I love the place, the staff are supportive, and I feel like they have my child's interests at heart. There are plenty of activities for the kids, and he's always tired from having fun. It has been the making of him.”

“I want to start this review off by saying I will solely be reviewing my subject tutors in English lit, geography and biology as well as how I found the courses and the class environment. English lit is an extremely interesting and fun subject especially during class discussions, the environment in the class room is lovely and you don’t feel embarrassed if you don’t understand something, David is an excellent teacher, he is incredibly supportive particularly in his feedback and he explains the topic perfectly. David’s support has allowed me to develop my writing skills which has undoubtedly been valuable in other subjects such as geography. Geography has A LOT of case studies and facts you need to remember but it is an overall interesting and exciting topic that gives you a lot of insight on your environment, Tracy is wonderful, our class discussions are always interesting with her experiences and facts alongside her encouragement which has provided additional ideas I have used in exams and essays as well as day to day life. The environment in geography is comfortable allowing for the class to connect and allow ourselves to join in on discussions. Biology is an extremely hard subject particularly the exams, to study the subject you need to work hard and complete a lot of practice questions and past papers, Isobel is the perfect teacher for this sort of subject. I don’t want to diminish my science teachers in highschool but Isobel is the best science teacher I have ever had the honour to have. She is extremely kind, supportive and knowledgeable, she is excellent at teaching you difficult topics and if you don’t understand something she will go above and beyond to make time for you outside of class and provide you with A LOT of resources. My entire room is past biology papers and diagrams which actually helped a lot in my studies. The environment is amazing I have never felt more comfortable in a room with real animal bones in my life, and that is due to Isobels impact on the atmosphere I am going to miss all my classes but the friendships I have formed in biology in particular is something I will miss the most I cannot recommend a better teacher for the topic who, even in the middle of covid went one step further to pre record classes if video calls were unavailable. I am going to Plymouth to study geography and it is thanks to the teachers that I am able to remain passionate about my studies. I am hoping to take a another course in the future that may combine geography and biology such as zoology. I cannot speak for all students but my experience at this college has been wonderful due to the environment these teachers have created.”
