Developmental centers in Manchester

“We have been seeing Jenny for over 2 years since our son was 8 weeks old. He was born with Spina Bifida, we started going to Jenny to ensure he was meeting all his mobility milestones. Jenny is really experienced and knowledgeable, helped so much with advice, and lots of tasks to practice at home. Seeing Jenny has been one of the best decisions we made. Our son has full mobility and probably would have had anyway however having regular appointments has given us the opportunity to learn how to help his walking journey with confidence and guidance. She has picked up on things we wouldn’t spot which helped when we meet with the consultants. Would really recommend”

“My little one has been going here for a year now and honestly its the nicest nursery. If your kid is outdoorsey this is perfect place as the kids go out for walks round the park and play out a lot. The girls looking after the kids are amazing and attention to detail to each kids needs are looked after well. Would reccomend.”

“The best nursery we could have picked for our daughter. We chose Kinder Giggles because it was small and has a family feel to it. My daughter was born during lockdown and had some health issues and i felt supported by the staff in making sure she was safe and settled. She absolutely loves her time at nursery with all of her friends. We are kept up to date with all of the amazing activities they do throughout the day. Management have always been approachable and flexible if I have needed to change days or times. We have used other nurseries in the area for my other child and feel they have not been at the same standard as what kinder Giggles is. Thanks everyone for all of your hard work xx”

“Thank you so much Carisbrook Day Nursery! You have made a big difference in our child’s life! He’s so happy in nursery and is learning a lot! Thank you to the staffs who are so loving and amazing too! We are very grateful! I would recommend the nursery any day any time.”

“My daughter has been going to Space Station since she was 14 months old. She has been very happy in all the rooms from babies through to Waddlers and Toddlers. She loves playing and dancing with her little friends and the staff make a really big effort with lots of great activities and themed weeks. Kim - the manager - is always very responsive, helpful and accommodating and was from our very first visit to look around. My daughter used reusable nappies and staff were happy to accommodate these too. I would definitely recommend Space Station!”

“I cannot recommend Educare enough. From Becky, the manager, to each and every one of my son's key workers throughout the three years he has been there (Kirsty, Nicola, Emy, Alicia, Lizzie, Amy, Elena), I have always felt he is in the safest hands. Every member of staff is just the loveliest - they put tonnes of effort into the activities they plan, and parents are kept up to date with progress and pictures. Nothing is ever too much, even when I call up in the middle of the day because "he just seemed a bit sad this morning and I wanted to check whether he's cheered up and now having a good day!". They don't just give it lip service, they keep me on the line as they go to check on him, and will pass me on to his key worker if a bigger update is needed. Any time he's had a bump or fall (he's a kid, it's going to happen!), it's been recorded, and I've had a detailed account of exactly how it came about - which ALWAYS matches up to my son's description of the event, too. I really do love all the staff here, they provide a really personal touch which makes the world of difference. And to have your kid come home and say their key worker is their BEST FRIEND is the most heartwarming thing ever. He feels safe, and so do I.”

“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!”

“School of Play has been awesome for our daughter. It is safe, secure, she is fully engaged with the activities and comes home smiling about her day. Would certainly recommend.”

“I am so pleased I chose this unique nursery for my daughter. She loves her days here, even when she is a bit apprehensive to leave me the ladies are so lovely and quick to update the baby's days app with pictures of all the interesting things she is getting up to, which puts my mind at ease. The nursery has such a lovely feel to it, different to other nurseries in the area. The updates you receive on the app throughout the day are reassuring which are then backed up by the big smile on my daughters face when I pick her up and the stories she has to tell me about her day. The singing, painting and puddings after lunch are some of her favourite things. I would definitely recommend the Yellow Door nursery, Michele and her Team!”

“CAYP provided exactly the service we hoped for and needed. Dr Rhian Hudson completed a thorough assessment of our child's cognitive abilities, to identify any learning needs and inform teaching and support requirements. The final report is a high quality comprehensive document which details exactly what the issues are, as well as making helpful recommendations. We are very happy with the assessment process and with Dr Hudson's communication throughout. Highly recommended.”

“As a healthcare professional who visits the nursery regularly, I just want to mention how pleased I have been on my visits. Lovely staff with a genuine enjoyment of working with young children. Staff are well trained on how to support children. I have seen good examples of staff implementing strategies to help support development. The nursery has a good learning environment and the staff always have creative activities set up. It is amazing to see the care, kindness and compassion they demonstrate every single day. Friendly atmosphere that is welcoming, approachable and a pleasant place to visit.”

“My son attends nursery full time, all the staff at the nursery are really friendly and welcoming. My son loves being at nursery he is always so happy to go and I love all the updates I get on how he is doing throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier with the care being provided. Special mention to Katie in baby room who has help him settle into nursery life so well we can’t thank her enough for what she has done for him since starting”

“My son attended Bright Futures for almost 3 and a half years up until starting school. He absolutely loved the nursery and I cannot fault them. He received not only amazing care but his confidence and skills flourished. Hayley, Angela and Lauren really care about the children and this is reflected through the whole nursery. He left confident and ready for primary school and they’ve certainly helped with that!”

“It’s rare to find genuine, caring, kind helpful people in this world. I am so grateful to Watch me Grow childcare for their excellent service, excellent communication, promptness, flexibility and gentle approach. Roxy was amazing with the kids and I would highly recommend their services. Thank you!”

“Little ways is a wonderful nursery, and a seminal influence on my daughter. She has loved attending so much, has developed loads and describes the staff as her friends. I am always in awe of the range if activities they do, eg washing pumpkins, trips to Manchester museum and sports days!”

“Paintpots is an amazing nursery. My little boy has settled in well and has flourished due to their care and attention that they provide daily. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I receive a report at each term end with my little boys progress and a daily report on the app to highlight the daily activities and foods that he has eaten. On pick up I get a run down verbally of how he has been, which is very reassuring that they are looking after him and monitoring him all the time. I would highly recommend paint pots nursery. I understand how important it is to place your child at the right nursery and feel confident that they are being looked after. I can't praise the pre school room members of staff enough, they are truly amazing!”

“Had our 1st daughters 3rd birthday party here and our 2nd daughters 4th birthday party here yesterday! It's literally the perfect party, the perfect length, kids food is good and always goes down well, great games and ample space for all kids and parents! Thank you xx”

“Nice place for sensory room, staff are all lovely”

“What a fantastic nursery this is, and recently had a new roof and a makeover, all the staff make the little ones feel so special, oh and the menu is first class”

“Great facilities for parents and children”

“My son has been enrolled since he was six months old, he has been supported through his development by the wonderful staff in each of the three rooms he’s passed through so far. He can be shy of people at first and the staff in each room have respected his need for space and time to get to know them and built solid relationships with him by taking things at his pace. As we begin our potty training journey the staff in his room are having frequent conversations with me about how it’s going and what we are doing to support him through this to ensure that they take a consistent approach with what is being done at home and his key worker Victoria has been excellent at taking him to the potty and encouraging him to sit when he is feeling stubborn.”

“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.”

“We have been more than happy with this nursery. They are happy and welcoming and the activities they do with the children are linked back to the EYFS. The children play out lots and my child has built some lovely relationships with the other children and the staff too!”

“Friendly and professional staff.”

“I've been impressed by the level of consideration, compassion, thought and care shown by the team at Tiptoes. The clinical supervision is of a class and quality that I'd not previously experienced and I valued it greatly. The office is mostly on one level so is very accessible though I think the toilet may present a challenge for wheelchair users to access unaided. It's a comfortable and welcoming environment that's open and friendly. They have an impressive array of therapeutic services available to children, families, staff and organisations. I've found my contact with this service transformational.”

“I had been absolutely beside myself for months with my son who had stopped feeding and spent all of his life so far screaming. He got diagnosed at CMPA that day and it changed out lives. Thankyou!”

“Lovely staff nice place for children to play”
