“I have loved my son being in this nursery since he was 2 years old. He is now 4 and wouldn’t have him anywhere else! The staff are amazing the montesori work is great. He is now in pre school and the staff who look after him are very attentive and kind and caring! And the food is beautiful. And the managers go out of there way to help you if needed as theyhave in the past for myself.”

“My son has been enrolled since he was six months old, he has been supported through his development by the wonderful staff in each of the three rooms he’s passed through so far. He can be shy of people at first and the staff in each room have respected his need for space and time to get to know them and built solid relationships with him by taking things at his pace. As we begin our potty training journey the staff in his room are having frequent conversations with me about how it’s going and what we are doing to support him through this to ensure that they take a consistent approach with what is being done at home and his key worker Victoria has been excellent at taking him to the potty and encouraging him to sit when he is feeling stubborn.”

“Jungle J’s Play and Party Centre in Manchester is a lively and well designed indoor space ideal for children and families. The play equipment is varied and engaging with multiple slides, ball pits and climbing frames that keep young ones busy. The staff are attentive, friendly and helpful, making sure safety and fun go hand in hand. The party packages are comprehensive and simplified, including food, decorations and dedicated party host support. Parents can relax in a clean, comfortable seating area with refreshments while keeping an eye on the kids. It’s a dependable choice for a fun-filled celebration or casual play session regardless of the weather.”

“My children have been going to Wild Space (weekly) for a couple of years now and show no signs of wanting to stop, which with a teen to please is testament itself to how great Wild Space Forest School is! Trudy is a fantastic leader and the whole place has a lovely welcoming, friendly vibe as well as a beautiful position conveniently placed in the heart of beautiful Diggle. Throughly recommend.”

“The play area is a peaceful and well-maintained spot, perfect for families looking for a quiet escape. The cleanliness of the space is immediately noticeable, making it a comfortable place for children to enjoy themselves without any worries. With plenty of open space, the park surrounding the play area adds a touch of nature, offering a nice place to walk or relax while the kids play. One of the best features of this area is that it’s dog-friendly, allowing families to bring along their furry friends. The park’s layout ensures that there’s ample space for dogs to roam, and it’s easy to keep an eye on both kids and pets at the same time. For those driving, there are plenty of good parking spots available just outside, making it convenient to access the park without any hassle. Overall, the combination of cleanliness, tranquility, and convenience makes this play area a wonderful choice for a day out. Whether you’re there for a quiet stroll, a playdate with the kids, or a dog walk, it offers something for everyone in a relaxed and inviting setting.”

“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!”

“Kenwood is a fantastic nursery. The staff are so warm and caring. It's small enough that all the staff know your child well, not just their keyworker. My son was very happy during his time there. He was not a great sleeper and they got him napping in no time. They also do a great range of activities, with lots of messy/wet play. The outside space is a really good all weather area which means they really do go outside every day. I would happily recommend it to anyone.”

“My two children absolutely love First steps, they have been there since they were 8 months and 2 attending a couple of days and now 2 and 4 attending full time Monday to Friday. Every room they’ve been in and moved up into has been brillliant. They have lots of outside time and lots of structured activities as well as free play too, they come home with so many things they’ve made that they’re so proud of! Too many to name but all staff have been amazing, I’ve seen mostly the same faces the whole time as turnover is so low and my children have adored everybody, they’ve made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving them knowing they’re so well looked after, there’s a real family feel. Ian, Luke and Tina have been brilliant, so organised in their management of everything and so helpful with flexibility where I’ve needed. So glad my kids have spent their first years here!”

“Wonderful staff, lively building and an overall great atmosphere. Cannot recommend this place high enough. My daughter was here for about 2 or 3 years, and she absolutely loved it.”

“Really brilliant location, lovely staff! Great freedom for little ones!”
