“Hightly recommend this nursery. My son went from half day to full day, there are different activities plannned every day, also teaching wording, writing, phonics and encourage reading. He is very happy study here with caring and attentive teacher”

“Both of my children went to Heald Green Methodist Pre-School from the age of 2-4 and it has been a fantastic experience. We tried a couple of nurseries before but nothing came close to what Fiona and the team provide. They teach with love. The place has great parking and a fantastic outdoor space. I highly recommend!”

“This is the perfect pre school for any little one. Fab staff, a lovely venue and we couldn't recommend it more!”

“This is such a lovely Nursery. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor activities and really make an effort to create extra fun days, such as supporting Children In Need and holiday activities. They keep you up to date on everything your child has done that day on their app, whilst also providing a quick debrief upon pickup. They have security cameras in every room and all the staff are so lovely. I would recommend Ninas Nursery to anyone in Offerton. I didn't have one single issue whilst my son was there. I think they run a tight ship and take great care in who they hire. Outstanding 5/5.”

“Our daughter absolutely loves it here, she's come on so much. All of the staff are so friendly. Would highly recommend.”

Not to mention time meeting new mums for some adult interaction The themed weeks are super cute and great for capturing photo memories Highly recommend for anyone wanting to find a sensory class for their young one, we’ve just booked on for the next season we love it that much! Thank you Rachel!”

“One of the best baby and toddler classes around, Jen is brilliant with the babies and my son and I love going I can't recommend them enough!”

“Services for young children in Atherton and Tyldesley are now jointly managed, with events and activities taking place at many local settings. There is also a 'junk food project' operating, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays ... rescuing 'out of date' food, and providing high quality meals and snacks on a 'pay as you feel' basis. Search for 'FurClemt@Tyldesley'.”

“Love this place. My little boy loves the stay and play sessions.”

“Staff are sooooo friendly. My baby cousin loved it there”

“Excellent nursery. Very flexible. Friendly aunties, who are great with the kids!”

“My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery. He wasn’t saying any words at all before starting here and and now he’s saying a lot of words. The staff are amazing and are really helpful. Would highly recommend”

“So proud of our school what an amazing family we all are children , parents and the teachers.”

“By far, the best decision we ever made as family was to stay on the waiting list for 7+ months. Trust me when I say this, there’s a reason why there’s a waiting list, Simon House is an extraordinary setting for your children. I have two kids at this nursery and all the staff have gone above and beyond for them both. My eldest has additional needs and the nursery were so helpful in identifying them. The consistent communication with us as parents, as to how we could help my little girl was fantastic. Mrs Mortin, the head of setting has done so much for my children’s development. This nursery isn’t a matter of give us your money and we baby sit your kids. Simon House has a massive emphasis on Education & Development. We used to go to a nursery called kids around the clock in chadderton (google them). A child in my daughter’s class there was seriously injured. So, as you can imagine, as parents going through that, we made sure Simon House was held to high standards & they didn’t disappoint.”

“Amazing staff, they know each child in and out, your child is definitely not just a number over here.”

“My two boys have been in Clever clogs nursery from 11 months old right through to preschool (5 years in total). Today my youngest left ready to start reception in September … when initially looking for a nursery (and we looked around a lot!!) there was one specific place we wanted them to go to but being as there was no spaces available we kept searching and found this one. Although not greatly advertised I can honestly say now that I’m so glad that we chose clever clogs. The staff here are amazing at what they do. Our boys always came home with great story’s about their days. Day trips out to the local park, sports days, visits from Santa, professional photographs throughout the year were a nice added touch. Having two boys with healthy appetites never seemed to faze them either and always a full breakdown of what they had eaten during the day. Never once have I been concerned about the boys safety and in the events when our youngest was struggling with eczema and asthma, they were fast to pick up and react to this. Medical advice followed post treatment. Upon leaving nursery we were presented with a file for both of them so we could see photos of them with all their friends, play/learning in action and lovely written notes showing progression of stages. Something to pull out when the boys reach an age for sure! Thank you all so much for your hard work, will miss you guys a lot!!”

“My daughter has been at Bubbly Bear Nursery now for around 16 months and we have been really happy with our choice to send her to Bubbly Bear. The staff are always so friendly and she has built a really good relationship with all the staff. Communication is always very good from staff and management. After each day we always get a run down of the day and also via the Nursery story app. I think ultimately my daughter is happy, always tells us when she is home of all the fun she has been up to with her friends and the other staff. Her confidence has grown although she is quite shy and look forward to seeing her develop over the next year or so before she moves on to reception. I would highly recommend Bubbly Bear to any parents looking for a really warm friendly environment for their children to develop in their early years.”

“My daughter loved this nursery (and I did too). She started at 1 and stayed through till age 4 attending the Pre-school. I feel this nursery is very child centred, always keen to meet individual needs (Unlike some of the larger corporate nurseries). The staff are caring and the staff turnover is low. Management provide excellent customer service and you can really tell this is a family run business and the people running the nursery care. They also cater excellently for dietary needs. I feel they go above and beyond and for the children. Lots of exciting and well thought out events. I would recommend this nursery to any new parent.”

“My child has progressed exceptionally within less than a year here she loves the staff and the activities, I think the staff have worked so hard and helped us with everything they always go the extra mile for every child”

“Cannot recommend this place enough. Both our kids went there and they as well as we loved it.”

“My daughter Eshaal started in September 2024. First two week she was unsettled and now she is so happy when I drop her off. The staff in the baby room are excellent with her. Every morning when I drop my daughter off the office staff always welcome the children and parents with lovely smiles. She now happily goes over to the baby room staff, which makes me a happy mummy, knowing my baby will have a good day. Thank you so much for all you do. Highly recommend”

“I’m so happy and content with the care & support Tiddlywinks give to my daughter each and every day. The staff go above and beyond to promote her development. My eldest also goes to their after school club, which makes it’s so much easier collecting them both together after work.”

“Stepping Stones is a fantastic nursery! My oldest has been there two years. She has absolutely thrived there. The staff are brilliant; kind and caring. They know every child individually and work with them to build their strengths and to encourage their learning. They do loads of different activities to improve fine and gross motor skills, and imaginative and independent play. My daughter loves going and has learnt so much from being there.”

“Nice worker I have you have to believe that helps out there in a situation you don't understand 100/per cent to Diane for the support and the staff at the SS for being there”
