Play based learning in Manchester

“My kids had an amazing experience there! The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, making it a wonderful place for them.”

“Absolutely brilliant nursery. Facilities and activities are great but the absolute stars of the show are the staff. Caring, engaged and well trained. Both my children have loved their time here and I would always recommend it to friends and family.”

“My daughter is just about to finish after two years at First Steps and her older sister attended 5 years ago. I cannot recommend this wonderful pre school enough. The staff to child ratio is excellent and the children thrive on the smaller group sizes and 1:1 time they get to spend with their key workers. The outdoor space is fantastic, and utilised daily for different activities. Weekly visits from Footy Tots and Diddi Dance also give the children those extra opportunities to try something different in an environment they feel safe and secure in. Helen and her team have years of experience in pre school learning and wellbeing and this shines through in everything they do for the children!”

“An incredible child care setting. Staff are amazing and so kind , very organised and passionate about this outdoor style of working.”

“Oughtrington preschool is a nurturing home from home setting. Both of my children have attended this preschool and have thrived. The staff are professional, friendly and caring and would highly recommend.”

“People are so nice such a clean inviting environment. Becky and all the staff are so nice! My child was upset about staying but came out full of smiles and could not wait to go back.”

“Auntie Stephs is an amazing playgroup with outstanding employees that go the extra mile to help the children settle and grow. I saw such a massive change in my child’s behaviour and growth after a few days. My child absolutely loves attending the playgroup and the innovative activities that do on a daily basis. I highly recommend sending your children to Auntie Stephs!”

“Our daughter loves it here the team are amazing ❤️”

“My boys absolutely loved their time at Raglan Road. The staff were like extended mothers to my boys and always there to listen if I needed to. There was always great communication and lots of well planned out activities for the boys. I’d highly recommend the playgroup. You need to go and visit and see them for yourself.”

“A really outstanding nursery. I am so delighted I chose Sylvan House. My daughter has been coming 3 days a week since she was 9 months and the development I've seen in her is fantastic. The girls in the baby room (Nicole, Chloe, Laura and Sarah) treat my daughter like their own, they are kind, affectionate, attentive and excellent at what they do. The food variety is great and she is really well fed and cared for with a detailed report at the end of the day showing food intake, sleep times, nappy changes, mood description etc. The app that the nursery use (Tapestry) is a A* and I look forward to numerous updates, photos, videos and notes about what she's up to. Communication is excellent throughout the day and at handover. Well done Sylvan you've made returning to work so much easier!”

“My son loves it here. Amazing staff he's loved going in to pre-school this time x”

“My little one goes to this nursery and I just cant fault it! it has very friendly and professional staff that really care about the children that they take care of. the facilities are second to none, they even have a top of the range sensory room!! I recommend Kids Planet to anybody that have children!”

“My eldest daughter has been coming her since she was 18 months old! She is now 3 and has excelled within her development and has good relationships with all the staff at Little Giggles. My youngest daughter was 9 months when she started in January this year, she is loving nursery life that is clear from all the videos and photos which have been published on the parentzone app which is amazing to see how your child is doing at nursery!”

“My little boy started at Dunky's when he was 7 months and I was so worried about how he was going to cope. The staff were so amazing with him and I could tell instantly that he was in good hands. He has come out of his shell and he loves the days he gets to go in. I feel at ease everyday knowing that he is in safe and capable hands with people that do care for him genuinely. I can never recommend Dunky's enough.”

“I have been so impressed with Hilltops nursery since the day we signed our little boy up. The rooms are always set up with different activities each day and my little boy is always so excited to go inside and play. They have always worked around my own home routines to their best of their ability. They adapted the foods given to our little boy when he was younger and still will do so if he refuses to eat. He has come so far since attended and the chatterbox he is shows how much he is learning on a daily basis. Absolutely fantastic nursery and would recommend to anyone.”

“My grandson loves little munchkins nursery. He brings me and nanna paintings and special drawings home all of the time. Its a lovely clean happy nursery with dedicated staff to look after our little man.”

“Lovely experience, I used to visit for my community midwife checks then transitioned to attending a class. I usually dread taking little one out as hes a fussy baby, but theyve made it so baby friendly I felt comfortable even with a 3 month old. An absolute essential resource for the community to meet other mommas so you dont feel so isolated. Little one slept beautifully after the session!”

“I took my baby to the breast feeding classes ans the staff were really helpful with advice and tips”

“The staff are very polite and considerate. Me with my 2yo n newborn they made us feel comfortable and went an extra mile to keep my toddler entertained.”

“I loved working for this company when I was there. It is owned by the nicest and fairest people you could meet. This is one place I miss made a lot of good friends here”

Home from home environment, arts and crafts, baking, walks and adventures, outdoor play and childminder playgroup sessions (singing and dancing, bouncy castles, yoga, reptiles). Healthy, home cooked meals provided. Highly recommend Lisa to any parents looking for a safe but fun environment for their little ones”

“Joanna us a fantastic childminder! My son has additional needs and Joanna caters for him extremely well. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone wanting childcare.”

“My son attends afterschool club at the Canal House Nursery and I cannot praise it enough. He started here three weeks ago and his confidence has grown already. He has built up good relationships with the staff already and really looks forward to the days he attends. All the staff are lovely, very friendly, welcoming and caring. The activities they do afterschool always vary and he always enjoys the different things he has done each day. They provide great wholesome meals for him which he really enjoys. My son especially enjoys the great outdoor space to play in.”
