The 30 Best Social inclusion programs in Manchester

“An amazing team of dedicated childminders. Jade, Gem, and Janet are an absolute joy to be around and work with and they really know how to connect with children and make them feel comfortable. Our little one loves them and loves going to the nursery, and there are always fun new activities to do and learn from. Lots of new friends have been made and it has become like a second home. We are kept updated throughout the day with a daily diary and photos on our own personal group chat. We would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone looking for dedicated childminders. A very big thank you to Jade and the team for everything you do, keep up the great work, you're AMAAAZING!”

“Lovely nursery. Our little one has loved the environment and has built up great relationships with the other children and the staff. The nursery is a great setting for children to explore and the staff make a special effort to get to know each childs wants/needs/preferences. Would recommend!”

“Our son completed all his GCSE’s with the Intuition Centre in Heald Green across 2 years and he could not have had a better experience. We are a clinically vulnerable family and the exam officer Shabir was an absolute angel. He went over and above for our family to make sure that our son could sit exams safely and nothing was too much trouble. He was understanding, kind, diligent and supportive at a time when so many people like us are struggling so much. No other exam centres would help us and I called so many. Our son would have really struggled to sit any exams at all without Shabir and the Intuition team supporting us. They understandably get quite busy so please be aware of that but honestly if you need to sit private exams this is the place. We can never thank them enough for all they have done for us and our son is now doing A levels and planning what he wants to do next. Without the Intuition centre it would be a very different picture. Fantastic people who genuinely care and that is becoming rarer these days. Huge 5 stars from us”

“My little boy (3) has been attending TNA since just after just 1st birthday and will soon be turning 4. He does the lil Beatz dance class and he attends musical theatre. He loves attending Dance and Drama each week and has made lots of friends. He adores all the staff and has a good relationship with some of the girls in the older classes too. My son has a lot of energy and attending these classes has helped him learn positive ways to Chanel that energy and his listening ears have improved massively. I would highly recommend TNA to anyone looking for extra classes for their children. TNA isn’t just a dance studio, it’s a community, a family ♥️”

“Blush is a very welcoming studio with friendly and encouraging instructors. Learning aerial hoop has been a great way to keep fit and build strength while also building confidence and having fun.”

“My son started at the nursery a few weeks ago and he is really enjoying his days at the nursery. I have seen a huge change in him in terms of settling in at the nursery. He is so happy, comfortable and confident. The staff as a whole are so lovely and amazing with the children. So far I am happy with my choice of nursery for my son and wish I came across this nursery sooner.”

“I was having some trouble with 2 piercings i had done less local to me, which had got infected and the ball had come off one of them. I came to inkspire in a panic looking for advice, and the piercer professionally cleaned all of my piercings on that ear and put the ball back on for me - free of charge. I can’t recommend inkspire enough for their professionalism and kindness.”

“Davey and his team always do a brilliant job. Great atmosphere in the shop, really professional and always bang on time. Would highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Hadija looked after my grandchild Akbar, and I can honestly say she is absolutely amazing at what she does. She's a true professional—firm when needed but always fair, kind, and nurturing. The children in her care are happy, respectful, and truly thrive under her guidance. Each day is filled with a variety of fun and educational activities, giving the kids so many wonderful experiences. You can really feel the love and thought she puts into everything. A special thank you as well to Ngugi—our little boy absolutely adored him! You both made such a difference in his early years. Thank you for being part of this lovely journey. You're a beautiful family with such warm hearts. We’re so grateful—and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional care!”

“Thank you for providing this hall for my sons first birthday. It was big enough to fit everyone in and the communication from the caretaker was great too, each time we had a question he was reachable on his phone. Will highly recommend.”

“- lovely staff members - so many events on! - love going to alkrington craft market there - good room to hire if you’re hosting an event”

“The Northmoor community,,, I will give full stars because I have been involved as student and volunteer. My experience with them was fruitful in all my way which I have been enriching my skills and knowledge, so the team is very kind and helpful to me. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to be part of the community that gives us more information how to be a good citizen and be cooperative with each other.”

“My daughter joined the nursery 4 days a week over extended hours just before she turned 1. As a new parent I was really nervous about this but was immediately put at ease by the staff. My daughter started with a few settling in mornings and then began nursery the following week. Over the course of the 7 weeks I have seen my daughters progress updated on the ‘Famly’ app. This will tell you exactly what she has eaten and drank and how much, nappy changes and her sleep. The app is also updated with key information for the nursery along with pictures and progress of your child. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough, when my daughter leaves for nursery in the mornings she happy to go and she comes home with a beaming smile and I can tell she’s had lots of fun. The staff at the nursery will go above and beyond to ensure not only your child is settled within the nursery but also check you are ok and send pictures and updates throughout those first few days.”

“i attended the ‘hello darling’ queer party here. everything from the security to the ticket attendees and the actual event itself was a 10/10 experience. i’ve been to the venue before and i will definitely go back! side note. i would recommend ear plugs as it’s a small venue it’s very loud :)”

“Excellent venue for large meetings in theatre style.”

“Easy to get to. It's Philips school. Son had a basketball match here, floor is concrete though. Ouch”

“My kids love it here. All the nursery staff are very kind and really care for the children. The pre-school staff are beyond excellent and my child has learnt so much to prepare for primary school during their time at Honey Bears. The activities are varied and well thought through. Can’t recommend Honey Bears enough.”

“Such a good councilling service lovely friendly, professional staff. If you're struggling with your mental health whether you've suffered a bereavement or it's personal it really does help but a referral is needed from your own GP”

“Very very very fast WiFi, a good place to come and relax with the family. A good place to come and eat food and drink refreshments. Had no problems with this place 10/10”
