The 30 Best School experience 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!”

“The best nursery we could have picked for our daughter. We chose Kinder Giggles because it was small and has a family feel to it. My daughter was born during lockdown and had some health issues and i felt supported by the staff in making sure she was safe and settled. She absolutely loves her time at nursery with all of her friends. We are kept up to date with all of the amazing activities they do throughout the day. Management have always been approachable and flexible if I have needed to change days or times. We have used other nurseries in the area for my other child and feel they have not been at the same standard as what kinder Giggles is. Thanks everyone for all of your hard work xx”

“Great experience. I took the 4 day tiling course and honestly, did not realise there is so much to think about to get it right. Simon made the experience enjoyable and definitely worth it.”

“Chestnut Theatre School is just fantastic! My daughter has been going for two years, and it's been amazing to see her come out of her shell. She used to be so shy, but now she's much more confident and loves going to her drama classes. The teachers are so kind and really know how to make the kids feel good about themselves. It's not just about acting; it's like a little confidence boost every week! If you have a shy kiddo, I highly recommend giving Chestnut Theatre School a try – it's made a real difference for us!”

“David is a great guitar teacher. He has been teaching my son for the last 4 years and has been great at mixing fun with learning. Ensuring that he has passed his grades but at the same time making the experience enjoyable and choosing pieces that are fun to play. He is always accommodating about timings of lessons if he can be. I would highly recommend him to any parent or student who is looking for a guitar teacher.”

“It was amazing, all the children did an awesome job, I would recommend if you can get tickets for next year get them you will have an amazing time.”

“Can not recommend Puddle Ducks enough. Made to feel so welcome, super friendly staff and a lovely set up! Highly highly recommend! X”

“What a fantastic experience. Dan the chef and the brilliant support team made for an enjoyable and educational few hours. Every dish was stunning and Dan taught us through every step, to help create beautiful, high end dishes. I’ll be taking all his top tips into my own cooking at home.”

“Sarah did a great job on my 0 skin fade on the back and sides, giving me a clean and perfect blend. With the professional help of Ash, she achieved an amazing result. She was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience easy. I would highly recommend her.”

“The experience was amazing for my daughter. What she learnt, the fun they had and the quality of production all within a week was amazing. Looking forward to the next one. The team organizing are professional and went above and beyond. Overall great experience.”

“Absolutely brilliant experience here on the French patesserie course. The day was really engaging and interesting - the recipes were great, the pace was just right and we were given so much useful information as well as little tips and tricks. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, the facilities were lovely and the course was expertly delivered. I would definitely recommend and I'm already looking at what courses I can do next!”

“I’ve just returned from a 3-week course in Manchester and loved every minute of it! The teachers were fantastic, super friendly and I learned a lot, even in such a short time. The staff made me feel really welcome, and my host family was absolutely amazing. I felt at home from day one! Thanks IH Manchester for everything”

“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. ❤️”

“Passed my test after having lessons with this company, with Mr Ibrar. A great instructor who explains everything in great detail, making you feel confident with driving. A great company to choose to extend your driving knowledge and skills, making you feel more confident behind the wheel. Would definitely recommend to everyone learning to drive.”

“My daughter attended a piano trial session and really enjoyed it. The teacher was friendly and engaging, and she felt comfortable straight away. We’ll definitely be enrolling her for regular lessons.”

“Took my son here for his 16th birthday. He went on the A320 with Alex. Alex was very patient and explained everything he was doing. The place is extremely well set up and easy to find. My son absolutely loved every minute of it. Would 100% recommend it to friends and family.”

“Brilliant! Both my children attend classes with Adam and they LOVE it! Adam is a fantastic coach. The sessions are varied and interesting. The children are always smiling and coming here has definitely boosted their confidence. Highly recommended.”

“Amazing place! Completely in love with the atmosphere, instructors and classes! They make you welcome, make you laugh, you end up being part of a massive family. It's not a dance school, it's a community. Classes are catered for all abilities so even if you think you can't dance, they'll teach you step by step with patience and a good enough pace, you just need to commit to it. You'll make new friends and have loads of great time. You dont need to worry you don't have a partner as you'll dance with everyone in your class!!”

“An amazing 3 year journey with Aim High. My daughter has enjoyed her online lessons with fabulous teachers who not only teach but interact to make the lessons enjoyable. My daughter was confident to sit her GCSE’s especially after having the extra booster sessions. Communication has been excellent and I greatly appreciate catering for our last minute needs. I would highly recommend Aim High, an asset service to our young leaders.”

“My son’s been attending here now since just after the Easter half term this year. My sons developed in so many ways , he can be quite stubborn at the best of times , standards here are super high and work with every single child needs no matter how high or how low. Staff are incredibly on form with teaching and how they run things and have a very highly standard of professionalism which you can see. They are open and honest with each parent . Reporting back each day if anything needs to be addressed or reported. There on form with everything. Highly recommended nursery for your child to go too especially if your wanting a nursery for your child with such high standards of learning and still at the same time as your child being able to still be a child at the same time”

“I really want to thank everybody at Four Paws for such a fabulous learning experience. Clare and Rebecca have been fantastic tutors; incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in their craft, they have been professional, approachable and supportive throughout. It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to learn from them. I would also like to thank Natalie, who has provided consistent and constructive feedback on my theory units allowing me to progress through the course. Of course, I can’t forget Michelle, who was also a great support during my first days at the school. I genuinely feel that the needs and welfare of the dogs in the salon is paramount to the Four Paws team which is incredibly important to me. The dogs themselves have been wonderful. There are plenty of opportunities to learn and develop different and appropriate grooming and handling skills required to work in the grooming industry. The course theory content is extremely comprehensive. I feel that I have gained much more knowledge in all things canine, including canine skin and the hair cycle, the different coat types, different breeds and kennel club groups. The accommodation is not only fantastic value for money but has enabled me to train at the school whilst travelling from South London which may not have been possible otherwise. There are of course training providers much closer to where I live, however I am so glad that I chose Four Paws. I don’t imagine that I could have had a better learning experience anywhere else. I would not hesitate to recommend Four Paws groom school to anybody wishing to pursue a career in dog grooming.”

“I've been going here for over a year now. Steve is such a good barber. Highly recommend to all. If you need your haircut, beard trimmed, or even a fresh groom, this is the place to go. Best Barber in Town. Never go anywhere else - Joel”

“Jamie was Amazing, very professional great teacher, we have learnt a lot on the Colour course I would definitely recommend”

“I too, am a 'mature student' and have thoroughly enjoyed my piano lessons over the years. I've been attending Dawson's Music School since 2012 and in that time, not only have I reached Grade 6 but have met some lovely people of all ages and abilities. I totally agree with previous comments and find the small group classes just perfect for me. I would heartily recommend giving Dawson's a call, no matter what age or experience you may or may not have.”

“I had my first lesson with Chris after a gap of six months. It went really well and Chis guided me to revise most of the maneuvers during this lesson. I look forward to having my second lesson at Mainair.”

“My daughter has attended the dance school for 9 years and currently takes classes 5 days per week. It’s her home from home and she thoroughly enjoys the challenge of the classes and the interactions she has with her teachers and classmates. The variety of class types available is great, including musical theatre which my daughter loves. The encouragement and careful teaching has allowed my daughter to excel and progress through grades gaining high marks at each step. The highlight of our Summer is always the week of Summer School!”

“Always enjoy my classes at Act up North and feel I have learnt somthing new every time. Teachers are great and the effort they put into the showreals also are excellent.. Ive been with Act up North for over three years and intend to keep going. Safe fun place to be.. :)”

“Amazing nail salon! BIAB is always done to the highest standard. Lily, Jess and the girls are great and have created something really special. A place people can go and relax and have a good chat with others! No other place in Manchester I’d go to get my nails done!”

“I have been studying at BEA for 3 months and I want to say thank you to the staff and teachers, I have learnt a lot an improved my english skills. I will come back next year again. I recommend to study at BEA if you want to learn english in manchester.”
