Early years learning in Manchester

“My daughter absolutely loves Bright Starts. The staff are amazing and have helped her so much. After a long time in hospital she has had a lack of socialisation and they have been fantastic with her and so accommodating for her extra care needs! Absolutely thrilled I chose them, she is so happy and it’s so lovely to see her smile again! Thank you Bright Starts!”

“A fantastic nursery where all the staff are professional and caring. Both of my children have loved attending Toddlers. They really focus on each child and tailor their care and support individually. :-)”

“Highly recommend brown bears nursery. My son absolutely loves it and the staff are all so lovely.”

“My son learn a sing and drama is happy n interesting. He can’t wait on every Wednesday.”

“It's a great school to go to but the best my duater had been in”

“All the staff have looked after our son for a long period of time and he has always come out with a big smile on his face. They also have a garden which some nurserys dont which is a plus and lots of room indoors. Would recommend.”

“This is a great facility, the outside garden space is impressive with lots of play areas.”

“What a nursery! Willow Tree, the management and the team surpassed all expectations. Both our children went there, flourished and made lovely little friends. Having always been dubious of nurseries, we made the decision to move our little girl from a childminder to their pre-school so she could get used to a bigger group setting before starting school. Within a few weeks, we wished we’d made the change a lot sooner. She LOVED IT! When we had our second child, we had no hesitation about where he would go. Nancy the manager worked some magic to make sure we had the days we needed. It quickly became a home from home for our little boy. It soon became apparent that he had delayed speech and needed some extra support in that area. The team were so proactive and put a programme of one on one activities in place to help his development and made all the necessary referrals and kept us in the loop with rehaul at face to face meetings every step of the way. We can’t thank them enough for their guidance and support. They work hard to involve the parents in all the special occasions that crop up throughout the year, from Easter bonnet parades to Mother/ Fathers Day Walks. Just lovely! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Willow Tree Private Day Care Nursery if you’re considering options. They’re an absolutely smashing bunch and the happy little faces that greet you every time you open the door is a testament to that.”

“Outstanding Nursery!! Come and Have a look around, small homely nursery where children always come first.”

“Great facilities, wonderful and caring staff.”

“We absolutely love Grosvenor Nursery! As parents from Hong Kong raising our son here in the UK, it means a lot to find a place where he is not only safe, but truly cared for. The teachers here are warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child’s well-being. One lovely surprise was when they gave my son a bilingual book in Cantonese and English — such a thoughtful gift that really touched our hearts. It shows how inclusive and considerate the staff are, making sure every child feels seen and supported. If you’re looking for a nursery where your child will be cared for like family, this is the place. Highly recommended to all parents!”

“As a parent of a child who attended this nursery for two years. I cannot praise and thank the staff enough. My childs progress has been phenomenal. He even knows some sign language and is barely 3 years old. We only had to move him due to work commitments, however the staff did try to make some accommodations for us to allow him to remain, unfortunately this wasn't possible for us. Every review should be 5*, however it wouldn't do the work you do justice. Keep it up Broad Oaks.”

“As the longest serving member of this fabulous team, I'd just like to say Bowness is still the best place to be!”

“Amazing school couldn't fault it”

“I would highly recommend this nursery, went to visit the nursery, it was very clean, welcoming staff with smiles, the manager was lovely, showed me around and told me everything from accommodating dietary needs, the meals looked lovely on the menus, she explained absolutely everything. Thankyou”

“A wonderful nursery. I couldn't praise the staff enough, they truly care about the children and create a fantastic environment for play and learning away from home. So glad we chose this nursery, would highly recommend it to others.”

“We couldn't be happier with our experience at Tiny Star Day nursery. Our son spent around 2 years here, and it has been an incredible journey. The staff are not only professional and caring but also genuinely passionate about the children's development and well-being. From the very first day, we felt welcomed and reassured. The teachers are exceptional, creating a warm and nurturing environment that made our son feel comfortable and happy every day. Their dedication and enthusiasm are evident in every interaction. Our son has thrived here, making wonderful friends and developing essential skills through the engaging and well-structured programs. The activities are both fun and educational, fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. We highly recommend Tiny Star Day Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching place for their child. Thank you to all the amazing staff for your hard work and for making our son's early years so memorable and enjoyable!”

“Really recommend Pear Tree Montessori Nursery. They genuinely care about your little one, my 2 children were well look after, proper early year educated, and most important really happy in Pear Tree Montessori Nursery. The management from top to bottom is very well designed. Re-located my younger one only because of save school run time with 2 different school directions. I would recommend this nursery, and thank you Pear Tree Montessori Nursery.”

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

“Great setting with truly caring, kind and professional staff. My 3 year old has been attending since 2022 and has learned many skills and developed into a cheeky, happy preschooler during this time. I like that parents are updated via an app and private Facebook group and that children make greeting cards for most holidays and celebrations. Children are also taken for little adventures around the neighborhood. I really appreciate and respect the fact that children and their families are encouraged to celebrate and represent their culture and that there is a non-judgemental and friendly attitude towards all parents. Having had bad experiences in my area with other settings, I feel especially grateful for finding Ducklings. They have handled delicate situations with grace, patience and understanding. I am proud to call Ducklings staff my child's second family.”

“My kids had an amazing experience there! The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, making it a wonderful place for them.”

“My daughter is just about to finish after two years at First Steps and her older sister attended 5 years ago. I cannot recommend this wonderful pre school enough. The staff to child ratio is excellent and the children thrive on the smaller group sizes and 1:1 time they get to spend with their key workers. The outdoor space is fantastic, and utilised daily for different activities. Weekly visits from Footy Tots and Diddi Dance also give the children those extra opportunities to try something different in an environment they feel safe and secure in. Helen and her team have years of experience in pre school learning and wellbeing and this shines through in everything they do for the children!”

“Oughtrington preschool is a nurturing home from home setting. Both of my children have attended this preschool and have thrived. The staff are professional, friendly and caring and would highly recommend.”

“Ravenbank School is not at 4 Fairfield Road it is Pepper Street Lymm.”
