“Excellent food and incredible service ! If you come across Coco’s cuisine don’t hesitate !”

“Tried Smashies recently and it definitely lived up to the hype! The chicken smash burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The loaded fries were also a highlight—crispy, cheesy, and full of flavour. Great halal option with quality food. Will be coming back for sure!”

“Although I had viewed many kitchen showrooms and online sites, nothing impressed me more then Ricardo with his 'nothing is impossible' attitude and his assurance that I would get a first class kitchen unparallel to anything I had dreamed about. His words came true. We live in the Western Isles. There are so many logistic problems getting things over by ferry. Since I had not a clue what design I wanted Ricardo took our measurements. He asked loads of pertinent questions on our lifestyle, cooking, storage, etc. etc. what colour, handles or handless, height basic requirements. He produced many many plans and ideas. We agreed on a Mueller Kitchen. Eventually we ironed out all the final edges and details. Then came fitting the kitchen. Again no problem. Florin and Michael were asked and agreed to come from Germany and London. Transport from Germany to here was all arranged with Ricardo to arrive a week before the fitters were to come. Well it could almost be likened to a 'wonder of the world' the garage down the road sent a fitter up from the garage with a forklift. Duncan's lads off the boat were there, it was 'hands on deck' as box after box after box after box after box came through the door. The old kitchen was just full to the brim. Well I just cannot give enough praise to Michael and Florin. They were amazing. They arrived on a Monday evening. Worked out their plans then worked solidly for three days from very early morning to late at night. It was unbelievable what they achieved. Not only the kitchen but also the utility room and back porch. They were so easy going and achieved what most would have in months. The results speak for themselves. The first photos below were taken 3 days ago, just over 2 years since my kitchen was completed. It is perfect. The finish is incredible. It is so easy to clean just a quick wipe down with a damp cloth. We have two large collie dogs but it is a breeze to wipe away the marks. We have so many comments and praise. People especially like the floating cabinet which fits our wine underneath. The glass lit cabinet is a talking point. The corian worktop was an achievement in itself to get it here whole let alone fitting it. The Meile appliances which Ricardo also arranged to come from Germany. Anyone that decides on a Mueller kitchen most certainly will not be disappointed. The photos below are of the part of the kitchen, part of the utility room and the Porch.”

“Great experience very friendly and professional. The lady was also nice to talk.”

“We absolutely love this Pharmacy, they go above and beyond to help, best move we made, delivery man is amazing as is all the staff, helpful pleasant and accommodating, thank you”

“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!”

“I can’t thank Pat enough for all his help and advice over the past five years. He is extremely professional and knowledgable of the financial services industry. He takes time to fully explains the advantages and disadvantages of different products making sure you get the best product available to suit your needs. If you’re looking for financial advice I would highly recommend having a chat with Pat.”

“Denise has been helping me with chronic neck pain for a long time. I recently booked in following a bike accident and the difference has been huge. She's very skilled and also just an extremely lovely person. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent service, out of the box thinking! Couldn’t recommend more highly JL”

“I have been using Levensons for the past 5 years and they have provided me with an excellent level of service. Thank you.”

“The best sensory class there is! I should know, I have tried them all. Jen is incredible and makes every baby & parent feel so welcomed. The class has such a wide variety for learning new skills and accommodates a wide age bracket. We love you adventure babies & Jen xx”

“Good service, good staff,quick turnaround”

“We now religiously order our Chinese from here, it is absolutely the best I have ever had! Everything is always spot on every time, food is hot and delicious and the service is so quick! I could not recommend this place more! Ordered nearly 10 times from there now and same great result every time, I am yet to be disappointed. We tried out so many others in the area but I am so glad I was recommended this one - it is hard to find such consistency!”

“Very good service alot of new variety . My best place to go for daily stuff”

“Top quality kitchens. Staff enthusiastic and very helpful.”

“This job involved painting four complete rooms & partial painting.. . Job was completed in four days by the team from Bury Painting and Handyman Services . The result was amazing well done, as usual. Great painters, hard workers, good advice, smart decisions.”

“I want to point out the outstanding support we get each time we attend the pharmacy! The team is very professional and patient. Each time we need their professional guide, they go above and beyond to give us a hand! I do not know of other pharmacies providing such professional and caring support!”
