Unique experiences in Prestwich

“WOW! very impressed! Food was on point! Especially the Turkish sausage starter! The service was absolutely fantastic. Good banter from the front of house staff, they know how to help people enjoy their night! Lovely decor, really nice atmosphere. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for a lovely evening! Best Turkish restaurant we've been to!”

“Great shop, great quality clothing, great prices”

“This place is amazing, fantastic staff and people who drink there. I have been going to the farmers for many years now, and I just love the place. Highly recommend if you want a cheeky pint and a catch-up with a pal.”

“Food is very tasty and good value. Atmosphere basic, service variable but generally good.”

“This is such a great spot for brunch or a drink, relaxed atmosphere downstairs and there's an upstairs and outside seating available. I have the veggie breakfast and I was skeptical at how good broccoli would be on an 11am meal but I didn't need to be! This breakfast delivered. The broccoli, the hummus the Potatoes each bit was tastier then the last!”

“Was great food service and atmosphere”

“Burgers are absolutely top tier and taste amazing. Can tell they have been made with real care. Once, they got a delivery wrong but immediately sent out someone to fix it without me even asking and still let me keep the wrong order. A real local legend!”

“Great service and excellent food. It was our first time here and was really enjoyable. The meals were large and very tasty. Excellent value for money .”

“Krave Coffee is a lovely cafe in Whitefield with plenty of free parking outside. The staff are all cheery and polite and the food is well cooked and neatly presented on your plate. Theres no step at the door and a ramp inside so easy walking for older customers and easy access for wheel & push chairs. We both had the small english and I swapped out those nasty mushrooms and tomatoes (my own taste I just dont like them) for another Grandads Sausage. The Americano was spot on and I would go back here just for another cuppa probably have some cake as well. Lunch menus when I asked are only served on weekdays. The seating inside is very comfortable, and theres also tables and chairs outside. A disabled toiket is also located at the back.”

“Quick pop in for breakfast before a busy day of shopping and museums, lovely service, filling food and friendly on the pocket”

“Great Bar in the heart of prestwich village. A good range of beers and spirits, with friendly staff and a warm atmosphere!”

“Despite my slight hesitation at using a homeopathic practitioner, I was immensely impressed with his medical knowledge and I learned considerably more about my pain in this consultation than in all the other consultations with other medics combined. Long story short - he advised me to slightly increase the standard over the counter painkiller I was currently taking by 50% (which he sold along with other less conventional medicines) and said I should expect results in 3 weeks time. I can wholeheartedly recommend Gore's chemist on Whittaker Lane, Prestwich.”

“Always love a new aldi store to visit. It's everything you'd expect, great range of European foods and drink, and some fantastic home goods to boot.”

“Great place chilled place great for a nice night out staff are awesome”

“Fantastic pub. Staff so friendly and happy. Atmosphere is fabulous. Great place to go for great beer and wine.”

“Fabulous shop . Amazing friendly and help staff. I have bought some beautiful items. I love their clothes as you can buy items that you won’t see on the high street. Excellent quality and prices.”

“What a company! After Lufthansa shafted me and my wife by cancelling our business flights less than 24 hours before departure and having our money for nearly a year, Cruise Club UK stepped in to rescue us. Despite Lufthansa saying no flights were available, cruise club uk were able to find flights. Thank you so much and we will recommend this company to our friends.”

“We really enjoy the food from here, they have always been pleasant when phoning up too”

“Excellent food and incredible service ! If you come across Coco’s cuisine don’t hesitate !”

“Tried Smashies recently and it definitely lived up to the hype! The chicken smash burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The loaded fries were also a highlight—crispy, cheesy, and full of flavour. Great halal option with quality food. Will be coming back for sure!”

“Always friendly, professional and helpful. Clean, nice environment. Thanks to Borga, great Barista and makes lovely coffee!”

“Always welcome...treated like one of the family.”

“If you are looking for a personal service for any future trip, business travel or cruise;Howards Way can help you.”

“We absolutely love this Pharmacy, they go above and beyond to help, best move we made, delivery man is amazing as is all the staff, helpful pleasant and accommodating, thank you”

“When investigating local childcare options for our daughter, we were stuck between the homely setting of a childminder and the consistency of a nursery - to us Swan’s offered the best of both worlds... The setting As a small setting it has a real family feel and impressed us from the outset with Nicola (Nursery Manager) showing real pride in touring us. There are three rooms: Baby, Tweenies and Pre-School and all are well loved and maintained with changing seasonal displays, toys and activities. There is an outdoor garden area that offers great stimulation - it isn't the largest but they do make great use of it! Overall, it's an inclusive and diverse community atmosphere. The staff All of the staff are excellent and the majority are extremely experienced. Management have been in place 20+ years and Toni in the baby room has been at Swan's for years & years (so many, I forget!) - I found this reassuring when our daughter first started at 9 months old. The staff have remained consistent throughout our daughter’s 3 years at Swan’s with only a small, natural turnover - always a good sign! The staff are friendly, caring and vigilant and work hard to bond with the children and encourage development on an individual basis. They seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and workplace. Many of the staff also have their own children (not that this matters but some may find it comforting to know.) Ofsted Swans is rated Ofsted 'Good with Outstanding features' (personal development being one area they excel at.) It’s one of the higher rated Ofsted nurseries in the Prestwich area but often seems to get overlooked - I'm never quite sure why! It's a hidden gem. Rates, funding and inclusions Contact the nursery for the latest rates and funding info - all childcare is expensive but I remember it being one of the more reasonable rates in the area! Provisions includes breakfast, lunch and a light tea at around 4pm. Nappies, wipes and suncream are included for comparison purposes. Core hours Included in the standard daily payment rate is drop-off from 08.00am and collection by 5.30pm. You can pay a small fee extra to drop-off earlier (from 7.30am) and collect later (by 6pm.) Location & Parking Swans is located on Whittaker Lane - just 3 minutes walk from the Heaton Park metrolink stop. There is on-street parking behind the nursery on Earl Street - ideal for drop off & pick up, you will never find yourself fighting for a spot. App & tracking Swans uses the Learning Journals app to detail your child's day, communications and events. Up until pre-school - sleep, food intake, toileting and development milestones are all logged on the app along with regular pictures and videos of what your kiddo has been doing during the nursery day. Accidents/Incidents are also recorded via the app. Extracurricular activities My daughter has enjoyed regular seasonal walks/trips to Heaton Park, Stretch & Grow exercise classes (and for a very small fee extra) externally provided French lessons. Pre-school trips have been to Smithill's Farm and the Transport museum. Swans also put on an amazing graduation ceremony - it was above and beyond expectation with some lovely small take-home keepsakes. Other features There is secure on-site pram parking within the nursery boundary for those who need it. Summary We've been extremely happy with our experience of Swans for 3+ years. If we were to have any more children there is no doubt that I'd be popping my name down on the waiting list ASAP. Plus, both of my daughter’s Grandmas are retired primary school teachers and both have independently commented on how good her development has been (and now she's older - her readiness for school) crediting it largely to Swans and its staff. A huge thanks to Nicola, Emma, Joanne, Toni, Sana, Rachel, Leona, Kira and Ciara - you all do an amazing job and we’ll miss you & the amazing environment you work so hard to create on a daily basis.”

“Recently finished my last session with Nicola and I couldn't recommend her enough. She has left the door open if required, but given me the tools to move forward. The last session made me realise just how great a listener she is, reminding of things I'd said in our first meeting. Completely positive experience.”

“Excellent and Professional Service, Highly Recommended for Insurance Valuations, Diamond Grading and also to give you a true understanding of what your jewellery is worth, would definitely recommend AGI”

“I have been going here for almost 6 years now. fantastic cut, decent price, very clean and professional. the atmosphere is so friendly and fun that I constantly look forward to my next hair cut to pop in there. Thanks guys Thanks Gordon”
