Play based learning approach in Manchester

“An amazing place to bring your child(ren). Each class is different and fun. Becky and Loz do a fantastic job of bringing so much excitement, colourful props. Their cheerful and empathetic personality, makes you feel valued. Me and my girl always looked forward to the classes. Thank you for offering your services which are highly recommended. If you've got a child or children under 4 please do them a favour and bring them to toddler sense. It was the best thing I ever done to bring my girl here. She loved this placed and so did I! ❤️”

“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.”

“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. ❤️”

“Lovely nursery. Our little one has loved the environment and has built up great relationships with the other children and the staff. The nursery is a great setting for children to explore and the staff make a special effort to get to know each childs wants/needs/preferences. Would recommend!”

“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.”

“Our son has been attending this nursery since he turned one, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we enrolled him, it's been evident that the staff genuinely care about his development and well-being. The support and advice we've received from the nursery staff have been invaluable. They go above and beyond to ensure that our son receives the best care and attention possible. We're especially grateful to all the key workers who have played a significant role in his growth and development. It's clear that they put their heart and soul into their work, and it truly shows in the way they interact with the children. Moreover, our son absolutely loves attending the nursery. Every morning, he's excited to go and spend time with his friends and the caring staff. This speaks volumes about the positive and welcoming atmosphere that the nursery provides. Overall, we wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do!”

“Beautifully set out nursery with the most homely, warm feeling. Lauren and Katie are extremely professional, caring woman who go above and beyond. Highly recommend NGL”

“Amazing staff and children are looked after well”

“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 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!”

“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.”

“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!'”

“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”

“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.”

“My son’s been attending here now since just after the Easter half term this year. My sons developed in so many ways , he can be quite stubborn at the best of times , standards here are super high and work with every single child needs no matter how high or how low. Staff are incredibly on form with teaching and how they run things and have a very highly standard of professionalism which you can see. They are open and honest with each parent . Reporting back each day if anything needs to be addressed or reported. There on form with everything. Highly recommended nursery for your child to go too especially if your wanting a nursery for your child with such high standards of learning and still at the same time as your child being able to still be a child at the same time”

“This nursery is truly amazing! Both of my children attend here, and the staff, managers, and owners consistently go above and beyond to ensure the children are well cared for while having fun and learning. As a parent, seeing my children enter the nursery full of smiles and excitement to play and learn makes a world of difference. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!”

“Wonderful nursery. The staff are all lovely and genuine people with hearts of gold. The children are all very well cared for and my son always enjoys his time here.”

“My son attends nursery full time, all the staff at the nursery are really friendly and welcoming. My son loves being at nursery he is always so happy to go and I love all the updates I get on how he is doing throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier with the care being provided. Special mention to Katie in baby room who has help him settle into nursery life so well we can’t thank her enough for what she has done for him since starting”

“My son attended Bright Futures for almost 3 and a half years up until starting school. He absolutely loved the nursery and I cannot fault them. He received not only amazing care but his confidence and skills flourished. Hayley, Angela and Lauren really care about the children and this is reflected through the whole nursery. He left confident and ready for primary school and they’ve certainly helped with that!”

“Since starting at the nursery over a year ago my 2 girls have come on in leaps and bounds.There are so many educational and fun activities that are incorporated into the nursery routine.The children even do yoga!! My girls come home everyday singing and in a cheery mood. The staff really take the time out to get to know and understand the wants and needs of the children individually and as a group and commuinication with myself and father has been very good.Would highly recommend this nursery.”

“Our daughter started at Fisherfield Nursery last September after receiving many recommendations from other parents. She has done a full year there now and we couldn't recommend it enough. She settled in wonderfully, and we feel so reassured by the care and attention she receives. The staff are approachable and accommodating, always ready to address any questions we have. It's been lovely to receive daily updates, including photos of her happily participating in various activities. We have also had the opportunity to spend time with her in nursey during special events that they have held. She is thriving, and it’s clear that the nursery provides a nurturing and engaging environment for her to do so.”

“Little ways is a wonderful nursery, and a seminal influence on my daughter. She has loved attending so much, has developed loads and describes the staff as her friends. I am always in awe of the range if activities they do, eg washing pumpkins, trips to Manchester museum and sports days!”

“Paintpots is an amazing nursery. My little boy has settled in well and has flourished due to their care and attention that they provide daily. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I receive a report at each term end with my little boys progress and a daily report on the app to highlight the daily activities and foods that he has eaten. On pick up I get a run down verbally of how he has been, which is very reassuring that they are looking after him and monitoring him all the time. I would highly recommend paint pots nursery. I understand how important it is to place your child at the right nursery and feel confident that they are being looked after. I can't praise the pre school room members of staff enough, they are truly amazing!”
