Individualized support in Prestwich

“Have always found the therapy rooms to be suitable for carrying out my therapy with adults and children . It is warm when needs to be, clean, tidy and bathroom and kitchen area are maintained to good standards. Other people use the rooms and it is a respectful community of professionals working as privately as possible. Would recommend using this space”

“My son has recently joined the nursery and all the staff have been brilliant with him, particularly his two key workers. He has settled in really quickly and is very happy there. The outside space is an added bonus and is fantastic!”

“Hi guys anyone know the fee ??,?”

““Excellent service! The Wills were completed very quickly, thanks to the outstanding support of Carol-Anne Duke.””

“Shirley is not only amazing at what she does, she is an amazing person that really shows how caring she is towards other people’s feelings. She went above and beyond to help me understand why I was feeling the way I was, whilst making me feel completely relaxed and comfortable throughout the process. She has definitely helped to give me a more positive outlook on situations and since seeing Shirley I have noticed massive improvements in my self esteem. I can’t thank her enough for all that she has helped me with and there is no one that I would recommend more!”

“Dr Hibbert performed the procedure on my 12 day old daughter today after 3 midwives could not agree if my daughter did in fact have tongue tie. His assessment was professional and comprehensive and he discussed every option available to us. The procedure was performed with proficiency and care and my anxieties were reassured by the directions and advice provided. The after effect was incredible, I had immediate relief of any previous feeding pain/discomfort and my daughter's latch and ability to feed clearly improved. I would recommend Dr Hibbert to anyone seeking support with tongue tie even just for a clear and concise assessment and professional opinion.”

“We can fully recommend Sharif and MS Law - we have used them a few times for property sales and he has been excellent every time. Clear, concise and without jargon and kept us up to date efficiently at all times, ensuring his work was fast and didn’t cause any delays unlike the other parties solicitors we must say! We were also happy with fees all very reasonable. If you need a no nonsense, cost effective solicitor then Sharif and MS Law are who you need to call.”

“Conveyancing, House purchase, House selling. I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Denise Prescott who dealt with us in the conveyancing process whilst selling a property. We have never had to chase her to do anything and she has always responded very quickly to everything. Something a lot of her colleagues in the legal profession could learn from her. In some ways it is a pity that this is the last of our buy to let properties. If we had more we would certainly have asked her to act on our behalf again when selling. Having bought and sold a few properties over the years I can honestly say this is the best service from the legal profession I have ever received. I have no hesitation in recommending Denise and giving her a five star rating.”

“Have just taken out a student policy, been really impressed by their terms, prices and customer support. I spoke to Tom from Customer Support in their live chat service, and he answered lots of very specific questions quickly and clearly. Obviously I've only just taken out my policy, so can't comment on the actual insurance service, but everything I've seen so far has been reassuring, and I have confidence that if I did need to make a claim it would go smoothly. Would recommend to other students”

“Good school,traditional with normal kids”

“When investigating local childcare options for our daughter, we were stuck between the homely setting of a childminder and the consistency of a nursery - to us Swan’s offered the best of both worlds... The setting As a small setting it has a real family feel and impressed us from the outset with Nicola (Nursery Manager) showing real pride in touring us. There are three rooms: Baby, Tweenies and Pre-School and all are well loved and maintained with changing seasonal displays, toys and activities. There is an outdoor garden area that offers great stimulation - it isn't the largest but they do make great use of it! Overall, it's an inclusive and diverse community atmosphere. The staff All of the staff are excellent and the majority are extremely experienced. Management have been in place 20+ years and Toni in the baby room has been at Swan's for years & years (so many, I forget!) - I found this reassuring when our daughter first started at 9 months old. The staff have remained consistent throughout our daughter’s 3 years at Swan’s with only a small, natural turnover - always a good sign! The staff are friendly, caring and vigilant and work hard to bond with the children and encourage development on an individual basis. They seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and workplace. Many of the staff also have their own children (not that this matters but some may find it comforting to know.) Ofsted Swans is rated Ofsted 'Good with Outstanding features' (personal development being one area they excel at.) It’s one of the higher rated Ofsted nurseries in the Prestwich area but often seems to get overlooked - I'm never quite sure why! It's a hidden gem. Rates, funding and inclusions Contact the nursery for the latest rates and funding info - all childcare is expensive but I remember it being one of the more reasonable rates in the area! Provisions includes breakfast, lunch and a light tea at around 4pm. Nappies, wipes and suncream are included for comparison purposes. Core hours Included in the standard daily payment rate is drop-off from 08.00am and collection by 5.30pm. You can pay a small fee extra to drop-off earlier (from 7.30am) and collect later (by 6pm.) Location & Parking Swans is located on Whittaker Lane - just 3 minutes walk from the Heaton Park metrolink stop. There is on-street parking behind the nursery on Earl Street - ideal for drop off & pick up, you will never find yourself fighting for a spot. App & tracking Swans uses the Learning Journals app to detail your child's day, communications and events. Up until pre-school - sleep, food intake, toileting and development milestones are all logged on the app along with regular pictures and videos of what your kiddo has been doing during the nursery day. Accidents/Incidents are also recorded via the app. Extracurricular activities My daughter has enjoyed regular seasonal walks/trips to Heaton Park, Stretch & Grow exercise classes (and for a very small fee extra) externally provided French lessons. Pre-school trips have been to Smithill's Farm and the Transport museum. Swans also put on an amazing graduation ceremony - it was above and beyond expectation with some lovely small take-home keepsakes. Other features There is secure on-site pram parking within the nursery boundary for those who need it. Summary We've been extremely happy with our experience of Swans for 3+ years. If we were to have any more children there is no doubt that I'd be popping my name down on the waiting list ASAP. Plus, both of my daughter’s Grandmas are retired primary school teachers and both have independently commented on how good her development has been (and now she's older - her readiness for school) crediting it largely to Swans and its staff. A huge thanks to Nicola, Emma, Joanne, Toni, Sana, Rachel, Leona, Kira and Ciara - you all do an amazing job and we’ll miss you & the amazing environment you work so hard to create on a daily basis.”

“I started coming to Northern Core after suffering a hamstring injury during football, and it’s been a game changer. The physio-led Pilates sessions helped me recover safely and effectively – I’ve noticed a big improvement in strength, flexibility and overall movement. It’s clear the team really know their stuff, and I always feel supported and well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone recovering from injury or just wanting to move better!”

“My daughter is thriving at Stagecoach North Manchester. It’s a lovely supportive class which builds confidence and is most importantly fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth and her team if you’re looking for a performing arts class in Prestwich.”

“Incredibly beneficial. I would recommend Gary and his CBT skills to anyone!”

“Throughout my counselling I found Mark very professional,pleasant and thorough. When serious subjects were discussed I felt totally safe and confident in his guidance and treatment.At times the conversation was light hearted and funny which helped me relax during my sessions.”

“Good communication, professional, and they get things done. Definitely recommend!”

“Incredibly beneficial. I would recommend Gary and his CBT skills to anyone!”

“I have been a customer of the above establishment for many years and have found the accountant that I deal with Barry Adler just wonderful over the years he has been a God send always prepared to advise and work in both my and my husbands best interests .I would definately recommend this accounts Denise and Des Morrell”

“The absolute definition of practical Wing Chun can be found right here. Sifu Swift has had years of training from the best. No nonsense direct practitioner.”

“It has great educational tecnology”

“I needed a solicitor to undertake the conveyancing on a property. Having searched for a law company on the web, I found Latimer Lee. Whilst reading through their website I felt that they were a reputable company and oddly enough felt comfortable to call them. Normally the image of a company on a website doesn't always mean they are proficient but their website sent (to me anyway) a message of sincerity. The complete process of obtaining my property was that of good communication and clear instructions and good guidance. Michael was my (professional) contact at their Bury office and was polite and helpful.”
