    Tiny Steps Nursery Manchester

    ★★★★☆ 4.4 Closed

    “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.”

    Children 4 Most At Squirrels Wood | Nursery Audenshaw

    ★★★★★ 5 Closed

    “I have had the pleasure of sending both of my sons to this nursery, years apart, and I can genuinely say that their care is nothing short of exceptional. Every single staff member is not only skilled and professional but also incredibly kind, caring, and welcoming. My boys were always happy during their time at the nursery, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were receiving the highest level of care. Choosing someone to look after my precious boys was one of the most significant decisions I had to make, especially with my youngest son, who requires SEN support. I can confidently say that the care provided here is unparalleled, and their SEN team is simply outstanding. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Children 4 Most, with special mention to Ellie and Coral. This nursery truly stands head and shoulders above the rest, and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.”

    “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!”

    Forest Feet Outdoor Nursery

    ★★★★★ 5 Closed

    “I am so happy that I found Forest Feet! My son started in September and has loved every moment being there. As a first time mum and the parent of a SEN child it was quite nerve wrecking to find a nursery that would suit my sons free spirited nature as well as give him everything he needed for his development. Nikita is such a kind hearted and loving individual who has a real passion for children to develop in an environment and ethos that promotes self-esteem, creativity, confidence and independence. She leads her team in this ethos and has some amazing staff in the nursery. Nikita has worked tirelessly to create and adapt to my sons needs which has been an immense support to not only him but myself also. The nursery compromises of an indoor space with a Montessori layout where children can learn and play independently. The outdoor area is wonderful with various activities for the children where they can freely explore and play within nature. If you are looking for somewhere that allows your child to grow holistically at their own pace with the loving support of great individuals then this is the place for you!”

    Broadway Day Nursery

    ★★★★★ 5 Closed

    “Broadway Day Nursery is absolutely FANTASTIC. Sarah, Becky & the wonderful team of aunties are just amazing and my daughter has been so well cared for since starting in December 2023. The settling in sessions when my daughter first started nursery were brilliant and I knew from the first day that this was the perfect setting for us. On starting nursery my daughter had a ‘cows milk protein allergy’ and every measure was taken to ensure that her allergy requirements were met by the nursery staff, the nursery even purchased a certain ‘coconut milk’ especially for her. My daughter has thrived since attending nursery, she’s learned so much and looks forward to going. I have recently been so impressed by the nursery’s commitment to supporting my daughter with her potty training too, creating a reward chart for her (mimicking what we had done at home) and keeping us updated with her progress. Each day Broadway Day Nursery provide an overview of activities and document what children have been doing via a parent/carer app which I love, and this really gave peace of mind when my daughter first started nursery. My second child will start in the Bunnikins baby room next year and I’m already excited for her nursery journey. I honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough, they go the extra mile and there is a real ‘family feel’ about the setting. Thank you aunties for everything you do!”
