The 30 Best Daycare services in Manchester

“Kobe's been going to Olivia's for the last month and has settled in brilliantly. I've not used a larger day care before and so was slightly nervous about whether he'd be ok and manage in this environment. Olivia and her team have been fully supportive with this and that's been a hugely appreciated. Kobe can't wait to get in to spend the day with his new pals and comes home happy. I'm so pleased to have found Olivia's!”

“Fergus has been attending DogsZone for the last few months & I can honestly say the staff are so friendly & helpful & seem to really enjoy the company of the dogs. Fergus has some health issues with his stomach & staff sometimes feed him for me & this often isn’t easy as he’ll lose his appetite but they always persevere. I receive videos & photos all day of Fergus & the other dogs playing indoors & outdoors which is very reassuring. I highly recommend DogsZone!”

“Can't recommend enough, Communication is great. Toffee always gets long & varied walks & a chance to interact and socialise with other dogs. Donna helps with training too & always takes time to chat about anything they're working on, where they've been and any recommendations. Thank you!”

“Cam is an absolute Star. I was nervous leaving my pup with another human for the night, especially as he can be quite a high maintenence dog, but Cam put me completely at ease. I was kept updated with pictures of Bilbo relaxed or interacting with a chew. He was kept entertained with enrichment activities and I felt confident that he was happy and cared for. Bilbo loved his sleepover with Aunty Cam, and she will be the first person we will call if we need a dog sitter again. 11/10 - would recommend”

“Angela does an amazing job with our dog, Yarra comes back exhausted but very happy! Every time Angela or Jai come to pick her up she is always so excited to go with them and it's easy to see how much she loves them. They have also definitely improved her ability to walk on a lead (used to be pretty much impossible) and her socialisation with other dogs. Thank you so much for looking after her so well.”

“We've asked Simeon at Fluffies to cat-sit twice now. Our cat can be a bit of a diva and overly sensitive to change but once he knew what was what with Simeon all was fine. We met Simeon prior to our first booking and he obviously loves cats, so we felt comfortable with our choice. He has also put out/collected our bins and mail for us which helps to make your house look less vacant. His prices are exceptionally reasonable and we have been able to book him at short notice (although obviously try to book in advance if you can). Receiving updates and pics via WhatsApp every day really helps reassure you, especially if you overly worry about your pet.”

“Janet is fantastic and I highly recommend her excellent services. She has been looking after my dogs (and now a bunny!) for the last 10 years. My dogs clearly love her and her updates include the best photos!”

“1st session: Glyn from Cheshire Dog Services Ltd is amazing. Took us ages to pick our jaw up from the floor. We've got an 8 month old GSD who pulls on walks, doesn't listen to my wife at all, jumps up all the time in the house and on walks. In one session Glyn had him listening to his every word, waiting 15 minutes next to a pile of treats without eating them. He showed us how to get Samson to sit, lie down, wait at the door and how to get Samson to heel on his walks. He gave us clear commands to give Samson in various situations. It was amazing,. The next day I took Samson out for his walk, did what Glyn had told us and he walked to heel, wasn't as distracted by people and other dogs. A week on he's brilliant on walks. We both enjoy them a lot more, he heels, leaves other distractions behind him, no longer jumps at, or on people on his walks, and he doesn't try to pull your arm off when other dogs are around [to play with them] . He's a different dog, all thanks to Glyn. I cannot recommend Glyn and Cheshire Dog Services enough for what they have done for us and Samson. We're continuing to see Glyn to embed what we've learned so far and to enrich ours and Samson's future.”

“Amazing. My dog was very anxious when he started going to Kelly and now he is so good. Always comes out happy, cut nice and smells gorgeous”

“Early inspirations is an absolute amazing nursery. My daughter is 2 years old and she has settled in that nursery very well. The daily activities help to develop my daughter's learning and I have seen a massive improvement in my daughter's understanding and learning development. Thanks to the staff, everyone there are soo friendly and helpful, I like this nursery very much. I appreciate all the hard work the staff go through Thank you”

“This is an amazing doggy daycare :) My dog Willow used to be nervous going in, but now she cannot wait to get in, and is barking her head off to tell her mates she's arrived. She is a very fit dog, but Happy Dogs always tires her out. Paul and Adam are very friendly, and the reception always looks great. I really don't know what we would do without them, it's a great place.”

“I can't recommend the Doggie House highly enough, everyone is fantastic they really care and love all the dogs that go. We lost our dog in December she had been going to the Doggie house for 8years or so, our new girl wolfie is now going and I know when I leave her she is haveing a great play time. I would definitely recommend the Doggie house.”

“Amazing daycare, the staff are so friendly, patient and helpful. They always answer any concerns I have and have looked after my dog many times. My dog comes home happy after a day of being cared for and playing. I don't have any support in the area so I am grateful Precious Paws are here to support! Thank you all”

“We come up from the south for a few days, we took our cocker spaniel puppy Lola who was 6 months old at the time. She’s never been in a day care before and the way she came out was unbelievable she didn’t wanna go home she loved it so much there! We saw photos on Facebook on how the day was going and she looked like she was having such an amazing time. When we took her back for the 2nd day she couldn’t be more excited to go! She rushed through the gate and didn’t look back! I highly Recommend dogs and divas when we come back to Manchester she will definitely be coming back it’s such a shame you’re not in the south! Thank you so much.”

“Very friendly and caring. Our dog was happy to go into his kennel and seemed very content when we picked him up a few days later. Mike and Naomi very attentive. We will continue to use MBK”

“Absolutely fantastic work!! My dog looks amazing and the staff member who dealt with me and my dog was very clear on what they were going to do. Thank you so much.”

“If there was higher than 5 stars this place would be getting it ! From start to finish my entire experience was beyond expectations, from booking the appointment to the explained aftercare every single second of it was exceptional. I recently adopted a cat from Cats Protection and she was in dire need of a good pamper. These guys went above and beyond to ensure Nancy had an incredible experience, every question I had was answered and just gave me such comfort in knowing my cat would be very well looked after, even with the extra attention that Nancy needed it wasn't too much. Already booked a return date to ensure that my pet is getting the best possible care. Thank you guys so much for giving my Nancy the much needed love she deserves.”

“The staff are amazing and have helped both my rescue dogs enormously with their nervousness. They do so much to enrich them, have birthday parties and dressing up and photo shoots. Brilliant”

“Cannot recommend the Dogs & Divas doggy daycare service and cat sitting service enough! Our dog loves playing at doggy daycare with all the other dogs and the staff are extremely friendly. We have also used the cat sitting service which is more preferable for our cat than a cattery and he got so much love and attention from Dawn and the team on his daily visits.”

“My boy Rupert absolutely loves going here, and he's always so tired after a fun day at Pawprints! Staff are all really lovely and give their best every day, they put on lots of fun activities for the dogs to keep them entertained. I also love the Facebook updates they share so I can see all the fun he's having when I'm working. Would 100% recommend.”

“What can I say about The Dawg House, such a fantastic place for our Cockapoo Henry. He gets so excited when you just say ‘ the dawg house’ & can hardly sit down when we are going. The staff are so professional & you can tell how much they love the dogs. To us it’s better than we could wish for. Well worth the money & the things they do are just so fantastic, from photos to videos to cards at holiday times (Christmas, Easter etc). A BIG Thank you to Sophie & the brilliant staff for looking after our Henry x”

“Great service , affordable , quality grooming . My dog Aussie loved going in . Sadly he over bridge now . But my 14 month old Working Cocker hopes to book soon to get his first grooming experience”

“BEST DAYCARE EVER!!!! my dog has been attending daycare since I can remember and has loved every minute of everyday shes here!! always so excited to see the staff and all of her doggy friends, Couldnt recommend this place enough the staff treat each and every dog as their own and loves them unconditionally!”

“My two little boys have started at Walkeze Day Care. The staff are so lovely, and Louise has been so helpful with this new exciting venture for them. They come back happy, content and tired. They absolutely love it. I know they are safe and cared for and that’s all anyone could ask for. I completely recommend Walkeze and the team! I just wish I had found them sooner ❤️”

“Really great for dogs walks , day care and boarding..the grooming salon is also amazing!! I would easily say the best in the area!!!”

“My daughters have been going here for 2 and half years now. One of my daughters has quite complex medical needs and the nursery staff couldnt be more helpful with her. Always asking for updates on how to best support her.”

“Fantastic place, can't recommend enough, and all the staff are great and very friendly. We have one very happy boy who is sat at our front door every morning waiting to go and worn out when he's back home.”

“We can’t recommend Digs for Dogs highly enough! Our dog absolutely loves going on her “holidays” with them and gets so excited to jump into the van when she’s picked up. While we’re away, she’s completely spoilt and treated like a princess, which gives us total peace of mind knowing she’s being cared for and loved just as if she were their own. We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos—it’s lovely to see her enjoying herself while we’re away. Georgia and Oliver are so professional, kind, and welcoming, and they made the whole process of setting up our dog’s profile really easy. If you’re looking for a safe, caring, and fun place for your dog, we’d highly recommend Digs for Dogs!”

“Marley absolutely loves Precious Paws. They are extremely reliable and caring. My dog absolutely loves the home boarding they provide and no longer goes to kennels when we are away. Best decision I made getting precious Paws to walk marley while im at work. Thank you xxx”

“We have been delighted with the care and early education at Early Learning Daycare. Child led learning and a safe, fun setting with excellent staff has influenced our son's development in a very positive way.”
