Play based learning approach in Manchester

“Both of my kids went to Launchpad preschool. They quickly settled in and started enjoying their time there. The friendliness of the staff is outstanding, and they always come up with new ideas to help children's development and to make their day funfilled. I would absolutely recommend Launchpad preschool to parents.”

“My daughter Eshaal started in September 2024. First two week she was unsettled and now she is so happy when I drop her off. The staff in the baby room are excellent with her. Every morning when I drop my daughter off the office staff always welcome the children and parents with lovely smiles. She now happily goes over to the baby room staff, which makes me a happy mummy, knowing my baby will have a good day. Thank you so much for all you do. Highly recommend”

“I’m so happy and content with the care & support Tiddlywinks give to my daughter each and every day. The staff go above and beyond to promote her development. My eldest also goes to their after school club, which makes it’s so much easier collecting them both together after work.”

“Very caring staff. Children have so much fun.”

“Stepping Stones is a fantastic nursery! My oldest has been there two years. She has absolutely thrived there. The staff are brilliant; kind and caring. They know every child individually and work with them to build their strengths and to encourage their learning. They do loads of different activities to improve fine and gross motor skills, and imaginative and independent play. My daughter loves going and has learnt so much from being there.”

“Children 4 Most nursery is truly an excellent nursery for our youngest child. When evaluating suitable nurseries, we were most impressed with Children 4 Most Hyde and this was helped by the fact its sister nursery elsewhere looked after our older two children excellently. What we love about Children 4 Most Hyde is the both the professionalism and warmth of the team there - there is so much confidence in the care of the team that minds our youngest child. He has dietary and health requirements and the team effortlessly take care of that, it's recorded on their systems and it is second nature to them. There are more things that we love about the nursery - the updates we get from the app showing what our child is up to, with photos and write ups - it is very impressive and makes us quite proud as parents and also of the team in the nursery. And finally, you only need to see our child when he goes to nursery in the mornings - so happy, walks triumphantly to his happy place. This is a clear hat tip to Children 4 Most nursery Hyde!”

“I am so happy with this nursery! The staff are incredibly helpful and kind, always going above and beyond to support us. After having bad experiences with other nurseries in the past, I can’t express how grateful I am to leave my child in such good hands. The care and professionalism here are outstanding. Highly recommend this nursery, especially for families connected to Manchester University—it’s truly a wonderful environment!”

“We have had the pleasure of having our two children looked after by Elmscot Day Nursery for the past five years, after a lot of researching other nurseries before we set out. I can confidently say that they are simply the best in Timperley / Altrincham. Special thanks to Joe, Danielle, Mrs Williams, Ruby, Siobhan, Louise, Kathryn, and of course, Practice Manager Laura, who has gone above and beyond in every way over the years. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care have made a big difference in our children’s lives. We always felt reassured knowing our kids were in such capable hands, learning and growing in a warm, nurturing environment. Elmscot is not just a nursery; it’s a second home for our kids! Thank you for all the wonderful memories!”

“Our 11 month old son has just started at Nina's nursery in Davenport. We were recommended to Nina's by a family member, who's daughter attended Nina's in High Lane. We are extremely impressed and thankful that we decided to send our son to Nina's. The staff are all great, so friendly and professional, it feels like I am leaving my son with family members whenever I drop him off. Thank you Ellie and Esther for making our boy smile! The picture updates are just the best. We had no idea what we wanted from a nursery until we went to look around at Nina's Davenport. If you are unsure or looking for a nursery for your child, I would recommend booking a viewing as you will immediately feel settled and reassured. Thank you so much, we are lucky to have one happy little boy coming home every day!”

“What a lovely bunch of people. Our child thoroughly love s his nursery, his key worker Patrick is an absolute legend, as are the rest of the team.. I thoroughly recommend this nursery.”

“My nephew goes there. Amazing school.”

“My child been there quite a lot. He loved it. ❤❤❤”

“My son goes to this nursery and enjoys all the activities that he's involved in, comes home with pictures and items that is all naturally made within the nursery and enjoys playing with natural items such as phones wooden toys etc... and not a plastic toy in site, brilliant. Brian proud dad.”

“My son and I love the place, the staff are supportive, and I feel like they have my child's interests at heart. There are plenty of activities for the kids, and he's always tired from having fun. It has been the making of him.”

“I had a great time there! Loved all the staff and made so many friends”

“Really good nursery nursery and lovely staff I really would send your little ones to this nursery”

“My baby girl attends Oakland’s and I have nothing but positive things to say. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming, you can clearly see lovely attachments between the children and the staff. My baby is very happy here and I feel like it’s a second home, it’s reassuring to know that she is in a nurturing and friendly environment. Lisa the manager is so approachable, she is always available for the parents, she is friendly and has a real passion for her role. I wouldn’t dream of sending my daughter anywhere else, I would highly recommend Oakland’s nursery.”

“My sister went here when it was still called treetops and before they got alot of things. I came here for holiday clubs when I was around 5 and the staff were teasing and fun. I remember Chloe and Sarah, chloe gave me a name badge holder which I still have but I lost the paper with her name. I miss this place so much and will visit soon for sure, its almost been a decade.”

“What a fantastic nursery! I couldn’t recommend them more, my children have been here for over 2 years now and they settled so quickly. They always come home with a smile. The workers there are so caring and attentive with the children, the activities they set up for the little ones are fun, educational and creative. My boy has been doing so well with his speech and I believe this nursery has helped massively with that. I’ve been so impressed on how they keep in touch with the parents so that they’re always in the loop. Such a lovely little nursery ✨”

“Really good nursery very friendly staff”

““My son started at Giggle and Grow in June 2024. Within a couple of weeks he came on leaps and bounds. The staff were amazing and really helped my son settle in well. The staff went above and beyond & provided a safe haven for my son to thrive and gave him many learning opportunities. Within a couple of weeks he had learnt to spell out his name and learnt to write it. This opportunity was provided everyday along with learning simple shapes, counting, colour recognition all part of the school transition. My son was able to join in with Graduation and was learning the topic “ starting school” which made this transition very easy for Ruari.” Ruari would prefer to Giggle and Grow as “Sunshine school” which speaks volumes itself. He would happily run into Nursery and didn’t hesitate on looking back. The Management are really supportive and welcoming they provide updates via online learning journey and weekly updates on my child’s progress. The outstanding care and learning opportunities this nursery provides is simply amazing. Giggle and Grow has excellent parent partnership and is a very much family feel nursery. We really enjoyed our son’s time here and can’t thank the staff and the management team for everything they have done for our little boy. The consistency and familiarity from all the staff is amazing and the staff give 110% to ensure every child is getting the best learning and care opportunities” 100% recommend Giggle and Grow.””

“I've been a governor at Lark Hill Nursery School for the past 3 years, so I get to see what goes on behind the scenes as well as what families experience. I am so impressed by the staff at the nursery and the wonderful supportive learning environment they have created. Despite being rated Ofsted Outstanding for over 10 years, they are always looking at how they can improve and stay up to date with best practice. The wellbeing of children is at the heart of everything they do.”

“Ok, as co-owner of Daisybank nursery I am biased, but I feel that our one star reviews need to be addressed. 'Shazzie' was an acrimonious dismissal, details I wont go into, save to say there were serious issues and potentially could have affected children in our care. Colin Macdonald is 'Shazzies' partner, whom we have never met and has never visited nursery. Chloe Watkins is her friend or cousin or some other distant relative who was recruited to fabricate a review, who we dont know from Adam and has never been known to the nursery. Their original written reviews were removed by Google as they were very defamatory and libellous, which just left the unjustified and unqualified one star rating. Thank you for reading. David Mojic”

“My son has been going to this nursery for over a year and I cannot fault them on anything. The staff are lovely and are so supportive, my son has come on now so much since attending here. He was so shy at one point and they have helped him come out his shell so much. They've helped me with the foods he likes, they have actually helped me with his fruits and everything! Everytime I go in they are always so active with the kids. My son doesnt stop speaking about Nursery and is always excited to go in. Erin & Saara are doing an amazing job and I even decided to keep him in an extra year instead of sending him to school nursery. I honestly cannot fault them on anything, they have been amazing with me & my son and I have no complaints.”

“Really pleased we choose Kids Planet for our daughter. The photos we get through the day are much appreciated and she comes home with new words or songs regularly. They have also been supportive of us using reusable nappies and I know that not all nurseries are.”
