Creative communities in Manchester

“An amazing team of dedicated childminders. Jade, Gem, and Janet are an absolute joy to be around and work with and they really know how to connect with children and make them feel comfortable. Our little one loves them and loves going to the nursery, and there are always fun new activities to do and learn from. Lots of new friends have been made and it has become like a second home. We are kept updated throughout the day with a daily diary and photos on our own personal group chat. We would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone looking for dedicated childminders. A very big thank you to Jade and the team for everything you do, keep up the great work, you're AMAAAZING!”

“Last night's show was well presented it involved children of all ages and abilities who all displayed confidents.”

“First visit to Farnworth Little Theatre. On street parking and small car park. Bar facilities available. Support local theatre and buy tickets”

“Our daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 1 and her confidence and communication has improved so much. We are so happy with her key worker and all of the staff at the nursery.”

“I took a Search and Social Media Marketing Strategy course at Salford Business School last week and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone interested in growing their online presence. The balance between learning new practical tools and tricks and setting a big picture strategy was brilliant, just what I needed. Since the course I have implemented many of the things I leant on the day and genuinely can see the results already. Strongly recommended.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of my son, his now more better and more independent. I am so happy so sending my child here to Born2win day nursery and to the amazing team in toddlers room. I love you all”

“Lovely nursery. Our little one has loved the environment and has built up great relationships with the other children and the staff. The nursery is a great setting for children to explore and the staff make a special effort to get to know each childs wants/needs/preferences. Would recommend!”

“My little boy (3) has been attending TNA since just after just 1st birthday and will soon be turning 4. He does the lil Beatz dance class and he attends musical theatre. He loves attending Dance and Drama each week and has made lots of friends. He adores all the staff and has a good relationship with some of the girls in the older classes too. My son has a lot of energy and attending these classes has helped him learn positive ways to Chanel that energy and his listening ears have improved massively. I would highly recommend TNA to anyone looking for extra classes for their children. TNA isn’t just a dance studio, it’s a community, a family ♥️”

“My daughter absolutely loves dancing here. She's been made to feel so welcome coming from another dance school and fitted in so well straight away. Shes come on in leaps and bounds. Miss Sally is just so lovely too. She's so good with the girls. They all love her. It's so good to see. Like a family. And I've made some lovely friends there too with the dance mum's. X”

“Blush is a very welcoming studio with friendly and encouraging instructors. Learning aerial hoop has been a great way to keep fit and build strength while also building confidence and having fun.”

“Amazing place! Completely in love with the atmosphere, instructors and classes! They make you welcome, make you laugh, you end up being part of a massive family. It's not a dance school, it's a community. Classes are catered for all abilities so even if you think you can't dance, they'll teach you step by step with patience and a good enough pace, you just need to commit to it. You'll make new friends and have loads of great time. You dont need to worry you don't have a partner as you'll dance with everyone in your class!!”

“Amazing studio full of a range of classes, welcoming and fun atmosphere, always recommend to my friends!”

“My 2 girls have been dancing here since the school opened and they absolutely love it! There are so many classes to choose from, starting at baby classes for the little ones to acro dance class and street dance and then freestyle and Latin too! The teachers and principal are so welcoming and really do pay so much attention to all the children and make them feel like they can achieve anything. Couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“This is an amazing dance school it has given our daughter so much confidence. She loves going every week to see her dance family , we have loved seeing her progress over the last few years, it is such a welcoming and friendly dance school”

“Atomic is an amazing dance school with a warm, positive atmosphere and truly talented instructors. Both my daughter and I really enjoy our classes there. It’s a place where we feel welcomed, encouraged, and excited to learn. Highly recommend for dancers of any age!”

“My 6-year-old daughter took part in a 4-day holiday club at Little Voices this summer. Despite it being her first time there and not knowing any of the other children beforehand, she came running out on the first day with a big smile, excitedly sharing stories about her "new friends!" At the end of the week, parents were invited to watch the children's performance, and it was truly remarkable! Every child had a chance to shine in their own unique way, which was delightful to watch. Little Voices is such a nurturing environment and there was absolutely no pressure on the children over the 4 days, as some might worry about; the focus was on having fun—and my daughter certainly did that! We will be back, for sure. Thank you, Laura...you are amazing!”

“Corey has been a member of Stage and Screen since March when he joined part way through the rehearsals for The Sound of Music having been cast as the role of Max. We honestly can not speak highly enough of Sophie and Matt and all the staff at Stage and screen. They have nurtured and encouraged Corey to be the best he can be on stage whilst making every weekly session enjoyable. The end of year performance of The Sound of Music was just amazing, super professional with great casting and so much talent! I would also like to add that Corey has made a great group of new friends who have the same common interest and champion/encourage eachother along the way. Corey absolutely loves going to rehearsals and can not wait to be part of the next show Legally Blonde whilst also being part of the stage and screen community. I can not thank you enough for giving Corey a great platform to continue his love of performing in musical theatre.”

“We have had such a lovely experience at Eco babes and would definitely recommend. Our daughter started April this year and has settled in great. The staff are all lovely, caring and happy to chat about how she's got on that day.”

“My son started here at 9 months old and settled so well into the baby room. Becky was so caring and tried to adapt everything to his usual routine and had a great understanding of his likes and dislikes. The key worker system worked brilliant. Michelle knows every child throughout the nursery and is always there for support.”

“We had an absolutely brilliant time ! Me and my friends ( students ) had a great afternoon. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Plenty of time to paint and so many great resources, will definitely be going again. Thank you ❤️”

“Ordered a floral bouquet in a hat box to celebrate my Mum's 80th birthday. My Mum is delighted with them - they are absolutely beautiful - vibrant colours, displayed brilliantly, and the quality is second to none. Will definitely buy from here again. Thank you so much xx”

“I read lovely comments and surprise as few people mentioned it's open to public. I have been told by shop worker "we only sell to businesses, if you are regestered with us then you are wellcome". It was very disappointing. I am very confuse from people reviews here.”

“Incredible tattoo by dean Gunther. You can't even see he covered it up. Absolutely incredible artist”

“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!”

“Jenna did my debut arm tat yesterday. Very relaxed studio vibe; friendly, warm, welcoming family outfit. Place was absolutely spotless and most importantly, the Dawsons are a family of incredibly skilled artists - how lucky we are to have them locally! Thrilled with my new bassoon-keywork ink - been on a high since. Jenna made sure the placement was absolutely right and the precision of the artwork itself is perfect. I can not single out one negative in the whole experience. Will definitely be back!”

“I was having some trouble with 2 piercings i had done less local to me, which had got infected and the ball had come off one of them. I came to inkspire in a panic looking for advice, and the piercer professionally cleaned all of my piercings on that ear and put the ball back on for me - free of charge. I can’t recommend inkspire enough for their professionalism and kindness.”

“Such a beautiful shop that is beautifully curated with unique items. Most of my clothes are from here. I’ve lived in london for 8+ years and I still stop by for a shopping spree when I visit my family here. Berin the owner is a wonderful human being too which is an added bonus x”

“Gorgeous space with the best staff. One of the few truly independent places like it in Manchester, who put the time and care into putting on events geared towards community rather than just trying to flog as much booze as possible. The kind of place where you get not one but TWO little biscuits with your coffee!”

“Nice relaxing place to have a bit of breakfast/lunch, amazing coffee and lovely staff”

“A wonderful community asset with a big smile and welcome. Fantastic fresh juices and milkshakes, served by owners that really love the locality and it's people. Be back soon”
