Play exploration in Manchester

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“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. ❤️”

“Early inspirations is an absolute amazing nursery. My daughter is 2 years old and she has settled in that nursery very well.

Thanks to the staff, everyone there are soo friendly and helpful, I like this nursery very much. I appreciate all the hard work the staff go through Thank you”

“Attended a wedding here today. Was lovely set up, food was delightful. All staff with smiles on there face. Service was great. Venue was AMAZING.”

“We have taken the kids a few times and more recently attended a Peppa Pig party to celebrate my son and daughters 3rd birthday. The place it's self is a little small but has a lot to offer we particularly like it because of the sensory room which offers a clam environment for my son. The twins also enjoyed the interactive room and the main soft play area which is great for young children. The food in the cafe is very nice offers both hot and cold food. Great place, great people and would highly recommend”

“What an amazing team! My son had his 5th birthday party here last Friday, he had the most amazing time, the staff were all really attentive, and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend Sparkles for any child’s party”

“Brilliant interaction with Children and parents. My son is so happy going to Pre school and is learning so much whilst here. Staff are helping massively with toilet training. Meals that are provided are perfect i get notifications on the app to say when he has eaten and how much, really puts a parents mind at rest knowing he is in the right place and being cared for. Staff put your mind at rest if you have any concerns. Lead by a brilliant manager !! Manchester Hyde team are amazing !!!”

“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.”

“Nice soft play where you can see your kids easily, the kids had loads of fun recently. Well stocked café!”

“On a sunny day.. This place is fantastic. Lovely flat grass areas for sports. Running track that's free to use. Gorgeous river running alongside Trim track being built around the side (eventually) When it's wet though. It floods. It's muddy. It's puddly.”

“Had both of my daughters birthdays here. Want to say thanks to Tom and all the staff at let loose, went above and beyond to make sure the birthdays were special for them. Much appreciated guys!! Would definitely recommend. And we've been returning regularly. P.s the biscoff ice coffee is lush! ☺️”

“Took my 12 month old son whilst on a trip to Manchester and the venue was clean and tidy and he really enjoyed it.”

“Brilliant place.......Went at 10am with my 22 month old nephew. Didn't need to book, might possibly need to on certain other days if a special activities day. Possibly best to ring and check. Lovely friendly staff. Great menu for food and drinks. Lots of tables and chairs to sit at. Extremely clean in all areas. Lots of choice for under 3 year olds to play. Different areas for different ages. Overall a great find. Would definitely recommend 10/10.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our little one has been at the swinton setting for 3 and a half years and I couldn’t fault anything! The staff who work here are just amazing and really work with the child and the child’s capabilities which was a big stand out for us! I couldn’t have wished for better! The management team are great, Clare, Lynn & JoJo! Kate, Hannah, Flavia & Danielle in particular are outstanding members of staff and has been wonderful to have them as almost extended family for so long! Will miss these guys and this setting A LOT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

“Both of my children attend Little Explorers! I have nearly 3 years experience here and have loved every minute and so have my children! The bonds they have made with staff as well as friends have been amazing! Both of my children have dietary issues and I have felt very much supported with these and any issues with changing their routines have been met with complete support and professionalism! Would absolutely recommend”

“Love this nursery. They have helped my son so much. He has definitely come out of his shell and he has made lots of friends.”

“We have just had our daughter’s birthday party at planet play. We had the exclusive hire option and it was worth every penny. The soft play was spotless and really well maintained. The staff were amazing from the moment of booking to leaving. They handled everything even down to putting candles in the cakes, taking the birthday presents for us and giving out the party bags at the end. Our host Mary was amazing. She was so kind and patient and really helpful to myself The usual party prep stress was none existent as these guys just handled everything. Also the food available to purchase was delicious and a real hit with the parents. I’d defo recommend this place and also the party package of exclusive hire for a stress free extra special birthday party”
