Learning activities in Manchester

“We had such an amazing time at Woodlands Alpaca Farm today! I went with my baby, and from the moment we arrived, Susie made us feel so welcome. She was incredibly patient, took the time to explain everything, and you can really tell she loves what she does. The alpacas were wonderful, and the whole experience felt warm, personal, and unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special day out, we’ll definitely be back!”

“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”

“My son is currently in pre school 1 and he Ioves going to nursery. All of the staff are excellent and everything is well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“my son started this nursery when he was 6 months old, very small, and has left now after 3 years. from the first day they always took care of him, especially Alina who followed my son at every step he took, even when she was no longer in his room. For 3 years my son left them happy and with a smile every day and this is important for a parent. he did many activities and learned many things together with them. thanks again. Gabriel will miss you so much. obviously I recommend this nursery for your child.”

“My son has come Your nursery since he 9 months old. The staff really put you at ease as a parent and our son loves them all! His communication skills improve daily and he clearly loves attending the nursery. We are very happy and can't fault the nursery, would highly recommend :)”

“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!”

“Great nursery, the staff are really friendly, they are fantastic with our son, there is always a huge variety of activities to keep him entertained. He has developed a huge amount since going there. We're very happy with Monkey Puzzle.”

“David is a great guitar teacher. He has been teaching my son for the last 4 years and has been great at mixing fun with learning. Ensuring that he has passed his grades but at the same time making the experience enjoyable and choosing pieces that are fun to play. He is always accommodating about timings of lessons if he can be. I would highly recommend him to any parent or student who is looking for a guitar teacher.”

“The Yaqadoodle team have been amazing at helping us and our son transition into their setting! It's a lovely and cozy place where they've gotten to know our boy really well. He has grown so much much in the months that he's been there!”

“My daughter has just left Bright Futures to start reception. She attended the nursery from 11 months old and during this time I can not fault Bright Futures for the care and attention they gave her. All the staff accommodated her individual needs, constantly checked in with me about her development, I received regular updates about her week, she loved the food provided and most importantly they provided a safe environment for her throughout the time she was there. I would highly recommend Bright Futures.”

“Footsteps is a wonderful dance school for all abilities. With excellent leadership the teachers care for each dancers needs and ensure the children have fun. The shows are a highlight and show case the passion and enthusiasm that is captured during the lessons. If your child is curious about dancing or a keen dancer already I would highly recommend Footsteps Dance School. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed nearly 10 years dancing with Footsteps.”

“Absolutely love Holly Hulton’s dance school! My daughter has been going for nearly two years now and still looks forward to every class. Miss Holly is an amazing teacher — so kind, and brilliant with the kids. The atmosphere is always positive and fun, and you can really see how much the children grow in confidence. Highly recommend!”

“A star kids Nursery is amazing, I could not be more happier with this nursery. The staff go out their way in the best interest of your child. A star is a welcoming warming nursery, a great place for your child to grow and develop. Well done Neelam for being so amazing with the kids.”

“I would like to really thank Mike for the continuous support and updates through the recruitment process and for understanding. Mike was available out of hours and always got back to me, he sent me links and helped me prepare for the interview. It was a really quick process and I thank this company so much, I highly recommend this company and I couldn't of done it without your help or support. Thanks again :)”

“In 2015, after visiting 10 nurseries for our daughter we chose Canterbury Rd Day Nursery and we were very happy with our decision. The rooms, staff, play areas and management were and are excellent. Each day you receive a 'report' of what your child has done and now there is the online portal Capture where you see pictures and updates about your child plus you can upload your own too. There are 2 cooks that deliver healthy and varied meals with seasonal changes. There are regular events held at the nursery or local hall and parents evening twice a year. My daughter loved it there and now so does my son. If you are looking for a nursery for your child then I would highly recommend choosing Canterbury Rd.”

“Our daughter has had a fantastic experience at My Time. She began attending casually on Fridays around her first birthday, and the induction process was very smooth. She bonded really well with staff and has continued attending occasionally, on an as needed basis, ever since - for over 18 months now. She's always really happy to attend and leaves smiling. I can't recommend it highly enough!”

“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.”

“Jo is a fantastic Dog groomer and my puppies enjoy being pampered by Jo.”

“Danielle and her colleague Katy did a thorough clean of my dad’s house before he returned from some time away - they did such an excellent job! Great communication, reasonable price and the place is absolutely spotless. We’ve asked them to come back for a regular clean. Many thanks, Danielle and Katy!”

“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!”

“My son loves going to this nursery, as parents we think the nursery staff have a clear understanding and genuine caring nature for the children they look after. The bond that our child has with the nursery staff is fantastic. When our child first joined we were understandable anxious about him starting nursery however the staff made the transition as painless as possible & now he walks in (most days!) with no problem at all. Such a great atmosphere in the nursery & the children are always having such fun & making a lot of mess that they enjoy so much!!”

“Both my kids (1 1/2 and 3 1/2 years old) currently attend SCAMPs and they love it. The staff are very professional, caring to the children and friendly to us as parents. There are always so many different activities for the children to do including a good balance of creative, physical, musical activities etc. You can follow the progress of your children through their learning journals and continual feedback is given daily. There is plenty of outdoor space for the children and they have recently done up the outside with some new play installations. They are always looking for ways to improve which is a great culture to have. The setting on the edge of the park is lovely and great for the kids to watch the lawn mowers and 'tractors!'”

“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 recommend this nursery, very friendly staff and management, the kids are always happy. They do potty training and all. My daughter has been with the Nursery since she was 2. The best of the best. I would give 100 stars if it were possible”

“My twins have loved their time at Mini Miners nursery. It didn't take them long to settle in as all the staff are lovely. The staff are great with communication, keeping parents updated in the WhatsApp group, sharing pictures of the multiple activities which the children have been up to. I'll be sad to see my twins leave this week and I'm sure my twins will miss it too, as they've always looked forward to attending each day and always come home telling me all the lovely things they've been up to with their friends. Thank you so much Mini Miners ❤️”

“my younger sister had an amazing experience at a-star tuition! she has exceled greatly and the tutor has helped her understand the maths topics she struggled with. Miss Neelam has helped my sister have a sense of joy for learning and also boost her grades a lot! thank you.”

“Our daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 1 and her confidence and communication has improved so much. We are so happy with her key worker and all of the staff at the nursery.”

“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!”

“Absolutely brilliant experience here on the French patesserie course. The day was really engaging and interesting - the recipes were great, the pace was just right and we were given so much useful information as well as little tips and tricks. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, the facilities were lovely and the course was expertly delivered. I would definitely recommend and I'm already looking at what courses I can do next!”
