Creative curriculum in Altrincham

“My son Oliver has been attending Aura music Academy for several years now learning to play drum (acoustic). He attended a couple of different taster sessions so he could decide where he wanted to learn and chose Aura. He has had a few different tutors along the way but has connected well with them which is important for him to engage fully. Regular updates on the school and lesson notes shared so we can see how he continues to progress.”

“Would highly recommend Happy Kids! All three of my children have attended here and we have been so happy with it. The staff are absolutely wonderful, professional, approachable, caring and understanding. My children have flourished here and it has prepared them for school.”

“Fantastic school! Incredible ethos, teachers, facilities and a real feeling of being part of a nurturing community. Proud that our son is a Forrester.”

“Absolutely love Juice Nursery! My little one started there at age 2 a nervous little thing who would barely eat when she wasn't at home and was reluctant to join in with group activities. With patience and care from the lovely staff at Juice, my daughter is now super confident. She joins in with p.e and yoga. She also started there with a dairy allergy which thankfully she has now grown out of. Juice have been excellent at ensuring she always has something on the menu and have worked with me along the milk ladder to help my little one now move off the dairy free diet. Most of all I really like the community feel at Juice. All the staff and children seem to have made a little family. I know my daughter will be sad to go when she starts school next September.”

“My daughter joined Starlight over a year ago. She really loves the lyrical dance session and what I appreciate is the lack of exams and snobbery at the school. It makes her soul sing to be a part of such an inclusive, dynamic, nurturing and encouraging dance school. Thank you for all the opportunities you’ve provided for her too, to be on stage at The Waterside and Sadlers’ Wells even though she’s only been dancing a year. I did try to bring her to dance classes several times but it’s not until she’s towards the end of primary that she’s been brave enough to throw herself into it and it’s wonderful to see!”

“My sister used Homelands for her children and when our first came along my wife visited and was really impressed with it so we signed up. I cannot speak highly enough of this place; it has been a wonderful experience for our 1st, 2nd and 3rd child. Obviously all the child development stuff is a key metric and they have all progressed brilliantly during their time there, but for me it is secondary to the loving environment that is so very evident at Homelands. There are so many nice staff there, and even more that have passed through at times; they have a knack for selecting dedicated, caring and professional people. There is core leadership team that have been there throughout our children's time there that I have found very re-assuring, and I will be sad when our youngest leaves because I see them as sort of an extended family! With Homelands your children will be safe and loving hands. ***From Jan 2020 you can drop off at 730 as well (rather than 8)***”

“Fantastic nursery, we feel so confident in the staff and the environment they create for my little girl. Spent a long time researching and visiting all the nurseries in the area and this stood out by a mile. Thanks homelands :)”

“I did the Combined Gel & Builder course with Aimee and Becky and it was amazing! I’m so glad I took the plunge and did it! They provided me with all the knowledge I need to start my new venture. Knowing that their support and guidance extends beyond the training room gives me the confidence boost I need to make me believe that I can make my business exactly what I want it to be! THANK YOU ❤️❤️”

“A fantastic dance school. My daughter has attended classes here for about 14 years! Started as a toddler in a pink frilly tutu! The dance teacher Lesley is lovely and patiently teaches all the children from toddlers to teens and runs adult classes for fitness as well. It’s very much a calm and no pressure environment. Affordable. There is the opportunity to achieve dance grades with certificates, medals and trophies. There is a dance show to take part in each year which again is fun with no pressure on the children and also costumes and tickets etc are much more affordable than other places. My daughter has loads of hobbies and interests but this is the longest lasting …. I think Lesley also provides her with a safe place to talk about her stressful life issues…..even more important in the teenage years! I’ve met lots of other lovely mums throughout the years too!”

“A really wonderful nursery. New build with lots of spaces indoors and a really big and beautiful outdoor garden, the biggest we've seen in nearby nurseries. The ethos is great and the staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. By definition of a childcare facility, it really gives children the care they deserve.”

“Excellent staff. Warm inviting atmosphere.”

“A friendly and fun environment for absolutely everyone! Children make friends for life and learn various skills across the arts!”

“We have had the pleasure of having our two children looked after by Elmscot Day Nursery for the past five years, after a lot of researching other nurseries before we set out. I can confidently say that they are simply the best in Timperley / Altrincham. Special thanks to Joe, Danielle, Mrs Williams, Ruby, Siobhan, Louise, Kathryn, and of course, Practice Manager Laura, who has gone above and beyond in every way over the years. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care have made a big difference in our children’s lives. We always felt reassured knowing our kids were in such capable hands, learning and growing in a warm, nurturing environment. Elmscot is not just a nursery; it’s a second home for our kids! Thank you for all the wonderful memories!”

“I went here before high school. Absolutely AWESOME. Awesome people here and just great”

“Wonderful school, my son has flourished since beginning there. Keep up the good work!”

“A wonderful community school where pupils are nurtured and supported, led from the front by superb headteacher Mrs McDowell”

“Fantastic nurseries and after school clubs.”

“My daughter has improved greatly in her speech, her eating and her overall development and I have to say it's mostly thanks to the kind and sweet staff at kids planet... I have had a great experience and would recommend anyone to go here...”
