Learning community in Manchester

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“Honestly footlights has been such an amazing experience for me, it’s genuinely supported me throughout my life and given me something to look forward to every weekend. I’ve been going to footlights since I was six and have made so many incredible memories and met just the most amazing people. Apart from learning to sing, dance and act, footlights is so much more than that! It’s a family and being apart of it is something I will never forget!!”

“I can honestly say this school feels like a second home. From the very first day, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the teachers made it easy to settle in. They really care, not just about grades, but about each student as a person. What I appreciate most is the sense of community – you don’t just come here to learn, you also feel supported, listened to, and encouraged to grow. It’s a place where children can learn home from home. The classrooms are bright and full of energy, and there’s always someone ready to help if you’re struggling. The school brings families together too, with events and activities that make you feel like you belong to something bigger. Whether it’s academics, creativity, or just finding your confidence, this school gives every student the chance to shine. It’s more than just a school – it’s a community. Anna was amazing helping us all the way through. Thank you”

“Can not recommend Puddle Ducks enough. Made to feel so welcome, super friendly staff and a lovely set up! Highly highly recommend! X”

“Sarah did a great job on my 0 skin fade on the back and sides, giving me a clean and perfect blend. With the professional help of Ash, she achieved an amazing result. She was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience easy. I would highly recommend her.”

“I’ve just returned from a 3-week course in Manchester and loved every minute of it! The teachers were fantastic, super friendly and I learned a lot, even in such a short time. The staff made me feel really welcome, and my host family was absolutely amazing. I felt at home from day one! Thanks IH Manchester for everything”

“We absolutely adore Siân's SEN Holiday Forest School Sessions. We joined in the summer of 2023 and quickly fell in love with the holiday sessions. It can be quite challenging when our usual group activities come to a halt, as our entire family thrives on structure and routine. Our daughter has an immense passion for the outdoors and revels in any messy or sensory play. If it were up to her, she'd make the great outdoors her permanent home! Right from day one, Sian extended a warm welcome and dedicated time to truly understand how our daughter prefers to engage. She has patiently built a strong connection with our daughter at her own pace. The activities provided are nothing short of amazing, especially for our daughter, who immerses herself fully in sensory experiences (as you can see in the photos!). Furthermore, the lunch and snacks offered here are fantastic. Our daughter can be quite particular about her safe and unsafe foods, but every visit here has her enjoying the delicious lunch provided. We sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating safe and nurturing environments for children with special educational needs. ❤️”

“Brilliant! Both my children attend classes with Adam and they LOVE it! Adam is a fantastic coach. The sessions are varied and interesting. The children are always smiling and coming here has definitely boosted their confidence. Highly recommended.”

“An amazing 3 year journey with Aim High. My daughter has enjoyed her online lessons with fabulous teachers who not only teach but interact to make the lessons enjoyable. My daughter was confident to sit her GCSE’s especially after having the extra booster sessions. Communication has been excellent and I greatly appreciate catering for our last minute needs. I would highly recommend Aim High, an asset service to our young leaders.”

“Freehold school is better than any other schools”

“Beautiful place to pray, very friendly people”

“Great gym, great people and a great atmosphere! Lessons catered for beginners with no previous experience all the way up to active fighters! If you’re looking for a fun way to get fit whilst learning new, effective combat techniques then look no further! City Centre location with classes starting from 17:30pm onwards so it won’t mess with your work hours!”

“Always enjoy my classes at Act up North and feel I have learnt somthing new every time. Teachers are great and the effort they put into the showreals also are excellent.. Ive been with Act up North for over three years and intend to keep going. Safe fun place to be.. :)”

“We are part of the Spanish church who worship every Sunday there, always is great to be in!”

“I send my chn to this school and it's really good.My chn say it's a fantastic school so I would recommend this school.”

“Barry, with his very strong base of knowledge, talked widely and enthusiastically about Arts & Crafts in the North West. There are so many beautiful artefacts right on our doorstep waiting to be discovered, and the network of artists and craftsmen was fascinating. Perhaps the 'best bit' has to be the admission and recognition of talented women from the start, unlike the Art Workers' Guild in London, with which I am familiar.”

“All the tutors I’ve talked to on my new student welcome day and my enrolment appointment were very nice and very friendly I’m happy to be joining Manchester College in September”

“Been to collect our baby IRN (waffles) today and she is beautiful. 2 lovely people with lots of knowledge, very friendly and helpful. We are over the moon with the bird and the experience of today. 13/7/25. Thank you both so much and keep up the good work your doing its very much appreciated.”

“Thank you for providing this hall for my sons first birthday. It was big enough to fit everyone in and the communication from the caretaker was great too, each time we had a question he was reachable on his phone. Will highly recommend.”

“The Northmoor community,,, I will give full stars because I have been involved as student and volunteer. My experience with them was fruitful in all my way which I have been enriching my skills and knowledge, so the team is very kind and helpful to me. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to be part of the community that gives us more information how to be a good citizen and be cooperative with each other.”

“Free Qur'an classes in Partington Community Centre every evening 5pm-6pm for children from 4 years- 18 years old with male and female teacher and Weekly Friday prayer held between 13:00-14:00. Special arrangements for ladies is available.”

“Good business campus with plenty of facilities for students. Not students are as well welcome though some services are restricted to students.”

“Great place for Aerobic classes.”

“Known this place my entire life! 5 stars for the memories and thank you so much Rose Walker R.I.P”

“It's a nice little place, if you want to take your little one or have any apointment depending on what, receptionist is very nice & friendly, super welcoming.”

“It's a nice park with a large play area, farm to walk around and plenty of space to play. Ice cream van always seems to be there at the weekend and the cafe is ok albeit a little slow when very busy. Parking can get busy at peak times”

“From the moment we walked through the doors, Tiny Steps has exceeded all of our expectations! The staff made us feel welcome, supported, and confident in the care they provide. The nurturing environment, thoughtful curriculum, and genuine love shown to the children have been outstanding. Our child has grown emotionally, socially, and intellectually during their time here. Each day is filled with engaging activities, outdoor play, and lots of learning through fun. The staff are not only professional and well-trained, but also warm, approachable, and truly invested in each child’s development. What sets this nursery apart is the level of individual attention and care. The communication with parents is excellent — we always feel informed and included. Most importantly, our child is excited to go every morning and comes home smiling and full of stories. We’re incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful place. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and enriching start to their child’s early years.”

“My daughters have been going here for 2 and half years now. One of my daughters has quite complex medical needs and the nursery staff couldnt be more helpful with her. Always asking for updates on how to best support her.”
