Nursery school programs in Manchester

“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 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!”

“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.”

“Our daughter currently attends Ramillies Hall Nursery and she is absolutely thriving, thanks to the kind, caring, nurturing and dedicated team of staff. The Nursery is set in beautiful surroundings which the children are lucky enough to regularly enjoy. The children spend hours outside playing, engaging in planned activities and heading off on welly walks through the grounds and fields. Communication is also spot on, if you have any concerns on drop off, the staff happily keep you updated throughout the day. You are also regularly updated with your child’s progress, including meetings and written reports and most importantly the feedback you receive, certainly in our case, highlights how well the staff know your child. Overall our daughter is happy, she loves Nursery and the staff who care for her. We couldn’t recommend Ramillies highly enough!”

“I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Martenscroft Nursery School, an establishment that truly stands out in providing a nurturing environment for our little ones. From cleanliness to professionalism, this nursery excels in every aspect. The heart of any successful nursery lies in its staff, and at Martenscroft Nursery School, the team is nothing short of amazing. Romessa, Salma, Jo, Lucy, Fatimah, Cathy, Maragaret, Jane, all staff are great. Their dedication to the well-being and development of the children is evident in every interaction. The staff members not only love children but also exude a passion for fostering their growth. Their warmth and genuine care create a positive atmosphere that puts both parents and children at ease. Aditionally, they have an expansive space provided for the children to play, both indoors and outdoors. The thoughtfully designed play areas offer a variety of activities that cater to the diverse interests and developmental needs of the children. I truly recommend Martenscroft to other parents seeking an exemplary nursery experience for their children. And note that they have a long wait list.”

“What a fantastic nursery this is, and recently had a new roof and a makeover, all the staff make the little ones feel so special, oh and the menu is first class”

“Absolutely brilliant nursery, our son when he started in June had delayed social interaction and speech. He’s come on leaps and bounds and he really enjoys his time at the learning hive. All the staff are great with him, especially Ellie who spends a lot of time one on one with our son. I couldn’t recommend the learning hive enough.”

“This nursery is fantastic & my little boy loves it and has come on so much since starting there I would recommend it & the staff there are so lovely & friendly and I know my boy is in good safe hands there”

“We have been more than happy with this nursery. They are happy and welcoming and the activities they do with the children are linked back to the EYFS. The children play out lots and my child has built some lovely relationships with the other children and the staff too!”

“Both my children attend/ed High Legh Preschool Nursery, lovely nursery & amazing garden for the kids to enjoy, such a warm, caring community & team of staff”

“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.”

“Amazing Nursery. All staff are lovely and communication is excellent. Highly recommend.”

“Both of my children went to this nursery from being 5 months old to starting school. They absolutely loved it, as did I. I never had a complaint, the staff were all brilliant and nothing was ever too much. All nurseries are there to keep our children safe whilst providing them with growth, development, and skills for their lives, but Wells House excels at this!”

“Amazing place to take your kids my daughter loves being here before school and after school and would complain if I tell them not to pick her up which shows how great this place is”

“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”

“Lovely brand new nursery, staff are excellent and very friendly. Since joining our daughter is so much happier attending this nursery and now looks forward to going to nursery each day.”

“The nursery has just been rated as 'GOOD' by Ofsted in all categories. Our children are cared for well and treated as individuals. Parents are kept up to date about their child's development and learning through daily conversations and through the tapestry system.”

“My child has been going here for over 3 years and soon to be going to school. I've always felt he's being well looked after, having fun, learning, and safe. The older kids performed a Xmas play last year and we were all really proud to see how hard they'd worked. The start and finish times can be built around your schedule, and they've always been there if I've needed to book an extra day. The kids are well fed with lots of varied and nice freshly cooked meals. We've been very happy here.”

“My little one has been going to First Steps for over a year now and we both love it. All the staff are super friendly and caring with the babies/children. I was very anxious as a new mum and the staff not only cared for my baby but checked in on me as well. Now my little one is starting to talk she comes home and tells me stories about the fun she has had with the staff and her friends. The outside area is amazing and I love that they go out in all weathers. I would recommend First Steps FV to anyone.”

“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!”

“Both my children attended Elm Cottage Thorn Grove until they started school.... Elm Cottage is the most amazing place for nurturing children and helping them thrive... both my children who are now 5 and 7 still talk about Elm Cottage and how much they miss the staff ❤️ we are so lucky that we sent our kids here and will be forever grateful to all the amazing staff for looking after our 2 kiddos so well over the years xx”

“A lovely little nursery setting with the friendliest of staff. The activities they do with the children are great and varied and my little one has come on so much since attending. Highly recommend”

“Lovely staff with a massive variety of activities.”

“Brilliant nursery. Both my 2 year old and 4 year old attend Holyrood castleton and are both looked after so well . They love going to nursery and have great relationships with all the staff . My 4 year old will be so sad to leave in September when she starts primary school in September, she has learnt so much whilst at nursery and is so ready for school thanks to holyrood !”

“Nice staff, nice place - 5 stars isn’t enough!”

“Our son just had his last day here after spending 2 years at Appledore in Moorside. The staff are amazing and so caring of the children I felt confident and comfortable from the start to leave our son in their care. He loved and felt comfortable being left with Leanne Holly or Racheal he started the nursery a quiet reserved child and today you wouldn’t even know it, he is so confident and happy and I believe a big part of his progress has been the staff here I’m sad he has to now leave and move on. If your looking for a safe happy loving learning environment for your children I would recommend this nursery highly.”
