The 30 Best Lifelong learning in Manchester

“We have had such a lovely experience at Eco babes and would definitely recommend. Our daughter started April this year and has settled in great. The staff are all lovely, caring and happy to chat about how she's got on that day.”

“We have had a wonderful experience here. My daughter loves it! Settled so well in the baby room when she started, and now on to visits in pre school ready for that transition! Highly recommend!”

“My son went to this nursery from 9 months old until he left for school in September. All the staff are so caring and loving, like a family away from home - three of his key persons particularly standout, Katie G who was his first in Bunnies and supported his transition into nursery life, Jess for support with his speech and language while he was in Fox Cubs and Malaika while he was in Owls for nurturing his curiosity through her experiments. His first parents evening at primary school was full of positives and he is hitting or exceeding all his targets, part of this is the play and experiences he had while being at Footsteps! Thanks from a proud Daddy!”

“Marghe is a fabulous teacher and by the end of my lessons she became a great friend. Super supportive and patient. The Hilton was a great venue for the lessons as well!”

“Nice place very efficient staff”

“Amazing Experience. Professional and expert team. Excellent customer service and post treatment support. Thank you all so very much. John.”

“Initial swim school is an amazing place to learn to swim or keep up the practice. The instructor are patient and knowledgeable and help you with every step until your comfortable. The swimming pool is a good length and the environment is good.”

“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.”

“Excellent venue for large meetings in theatre style.”

“A lovely little church hall with great facilities. Does lots of good work for their community. Accessible with helpful staff.”

“Vey nice centre. Helpful Midwife . Really happy to go there. Midwife is caring, kind and very nice. ( Not like some others ) .”

“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!”

“We came here for an open evening... Ofsted Outstanding school and the staff seem to be doing an amazing job.”

“A massive thank you to Sandra and all the teachers for all their hard work keeping the school going. A special thank you to Shane for his great zoom lessons, me and the lads really appreciate being able to continue our guitar lessons, which keep us sane in these trying times. If you want to learn how to play a musical instrument I highly recommend Stockport Music School”

“Great School, great teachers and support staff.”

“Excellent nursery. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who believes in child-led education, where the child is encouraged to observe the natural world and engage in activities that promote exploration through play. At Kittens they make very good use of space both in and outdoors.”

“After finding Cultural Care Au Pair at an employment gap year fair at my college I have had nothing but positive interactions with them. The staff at Cultural Care were very supportive and helpful during the application and matching process and after I had found my host family they ensured I was well prepared and knew what was happening, and would happen, at every stage of my journey. I loved my 2 years in the U.S.A. and still keep in contact with my host family, friends from the U.S., friends from around the World and even the Cultural Care staff. I can honestly recommend even just speaking to Cultural Care if you think you want to live in the States, make family there, make friends there, meet friends from many Worldwide cultures and feel supported the entire time. There aren't many chances in life to move somewhere else and become a whole new person. Be who you want to be and take a chance on a life changing experience.”

“Lovely pre-school. My daughter joined at 2 and settled really quickly thanks to Clare and her amazing team. Her speech and counting has come on leaps and bounds in the 3 months she has been at Little Bird’s Nest.”

“Our son started willow tree in October 2021 and has just graduated this week. From start to finish his time at willow tree has been so easy for us we have never had any worries about him there, its a fun, playful, nurturing and educational environment, from digging worms with eco warriors to learning sports and dance every week. The girls go above and beyond to make every child (and parents) feel so welcome. Everyday they will follow the childrens interest and allow them to pursue them further, such as our son loved Space and learnt lots of new facts from a day in Willow tree coming home with crafts that he chose to do. They are wonderful in every way and we are sad that our son’s time has come to an end at willow tree but they have made sure he is more than ready for reception. I would and will be doing recommending Willow tree pre school to anyone looking for an outstanding preschool.”

“Fab pre school our daughter went there and loved every day she went. The staff are kind, loving and have a brilliant understanding of how to get the best out of your child. Couldn't recommend enough”

“The best preschool!! My little girl attends here and she has the best time, she’s always so excited to go in the mornings and always tells me what a great time she’s had with the biggest smile on her face which as a parent means a lot and shows how great the staff are with her. The owner and staff are all incredibly friendly & make you feel welcome. The preschool is always nice & clean and well organised! Sharon the owner will do everything she can to accommodate your needs as a family. I recommend this place to everyone who’s got young kids looking for the next step before school.”

“We could not recomend Children's Choice enough! The have looked after my son since he was 6 months old and the care and love they show him is what every parent would want! They keep me updated on what he's up to and anything I ask for for his care they support! They have recently been doing big brother lessons with him which has been incredible with our newborn who I know will also be in the best hands when he starts there! Thank you for everything you do!”

“We have had two boys attend St Vincent’s pre school in the past and our youngest son currently attends. We are so happy with the experience they have all had. It is a safe, nurturing environment with constantly changing activities for them to learn and play with. They spend a lot of time outdoors which we love. The transition into school was managed so beautifully by the pre school and my boys left pre school well prepared for reception class. The staff are all wonderful, highly trained and professional yet so warm and friendly. I could not recommend more highly.”

“Absolutely amazing class for babies and toddlers. Becky is very educated on children's development which is shown in all her classes. My daughter says is the best class she has ever been too.”

“Excellent teaching, perfect environment for junior kids.”

“Our little girl who is 2 absolutely loves Jill Goodacre's classes. Very engaging and educational and even has a run around part at the beginning which a lot of these groups lack.”

“Great school, staff are passionate and committed to helping each child thrive. Great facilities such as forrest school and big play area.”
