The 30 Best Private day nurseries in Manchester

“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.”

“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!”

“Our little girl attends 2 days a week and absolutely loves it! We’ve found that the staff have been professional and caring at the same time, making the transition to our daughter attending nursery a smooth one. They cater to her individual likes and needs and we know she is in good hands with people who genuinely know and care about her. The initial consultation with Natalie was a real pleasure as she took time to explain things clearly without being pushy at all, something that we found did happen when we viewed other nurseries. We would recommend this nursery to anyone, but especially those who are nervous about putting a child into nursery for the first time.”

“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”

“If you want a healthy nice clean and carefully environment for your baby i do recommend Kidzrus. My daughter love to be in here , the staff is amazing they take care of them so well. Lots of activities for their development and fun activities. Definitely recommend xx”

“My son has recently joined the nursery and all the staff have been brilliant with him, particularly his two key workers. He has settled in really quickly and is very happy there. The outside space is an added bonus and is fantastic!”

“We have been more than happy with this nursery. They are happy and welcoming and the activities they do with the children are linked back to the EYFS. The children play out lots and my child has built some lovely relationships with the other children and the staff too!”

“I can confirm this nursery is clean, built for intended purpose (not just a house converted into a nursery), the staff are professional, easy to speak to and care for our child. Special thanks to Yasmin for all of her support. We shopped around for nurseries in the area and I without a doubt this is the BEST nursery in the area.”

“Bowden House provides a wonderful setting for your child to thrive. Having had my older son at another local and reputable nursery and from talking to friends, I can honestly say it sits head and shoulders above the rest. Not only is the setting small and intimate, the staff are friendly to children and parents alike. My little boy had a special relationship with his key worker Ruby, who was always so bubbly and positive with him. Although he only attended two days a week would talk about her a lot and was always excited to go to nursery. The nursery keeps parents well informed of activities for the week ahead (always varied, creative and educational) and provide regular updates on your child’s progress. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking in the locality.”

“This is a fabulous nursery, my grandson who is disabled really enjoyed his time there, and he really came on well, the meals are amazing, and the staff are really lovely and very caring, would highly recommend this place, it’s a shame they don’t do for over 5 years .”

“Our baby has just done her first year in the baby unit and it's been great. Her key worker Ellie has been wonderful with her. The staff in general have all been great. The place is clean and professional too.”

“Absolutely wonderful nursery!!! Hesitant to leave our daughter in anyone else’s care, we asked friends and family for a recommended, local, nursery who would look after our bundle of joy to the highest level. One visit to little acorns and we knew it was ‘the one’. She squeals in delight when we arrive and sleeps like a log when she comes home. She is loved, cuddled, educated and as her parents we are reassured that every minute she is there she is content and happy!! Can not recommend enough, our little acorn is thriving. Bellas mummy and daddy x”

“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!”

“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.”

“Love love love. So much care for the children!”

“Excellent nursery. Very flexible. Friendly aunties, who are great with the kids!”

“Amazing staff, they know each child in and out, your child is definitely not just a number over here.”

“Excellent friendly staff, very clean areas, they really know how to make each of your children feel special. I can't think of a better place!”

“Both of my children attend Lily’s Little Gems. I cannot begin to explain how fantastic they have been (and continue to be) with both of my children. Staff are supportive, knowledgeable, understanding and have the children’s best interests at heart. My children have been blessed with amazing Key Workers in Baby Room and Toddler Room. They are happy to go in to nursery and that says enough that this really is a fantastic place. Thanks for everything that you do xxx”

“My daughter loved this nursery (and I did too). She started at 1 and stayed through till age 4 attending the Pre-school. I feel this nursery is very child centred, always keen to meet individual needs (Unlike some of the larger corporate nurseries). The staff are caring and the staff turnover is low. Management provide excellent customer service and you can really tell this is a family run business and the people running the nursery care. They also cater excellently for dietary needs. I feel they go above and beyond and for the children. Lots of exciting and well thought out events. I would recommend this nursery to any new parent.”

“An amazing, nurturing environment for my Grandson. He has flourished since attending. A wonderful setting with such friendly, caring staff. I would highly recommend.”

“Lovely environment, friendly staff, a fantastic nursery!”
