Unique learning opportunities in Manchester

“Nice little theatre. Some really talented kids. Everyone there is really friendly, plenty of refreshments. Good to support this type of local venue.”

“My son went to this nursery from 9 months old until he left for school in September. All the staff are so caring and loving, like a family away from home - three of his key persons particularly standout, Katie G who was his first in Bunnies and supported his transition into nursery life, Jess for support with his speech and language while he was in Fox Cubs and Malaika while he was in Owls for nurturing his curiosity through her experiments. His first parents evening at primary school was full of positives and he is hitting or exceeding all his targets, part of this is the play and experiences he had while being at Footsteps! Thanks from a proud Daddy!”

“My 2 y/o started this nursery 3 months ago and she has developed rapidly in such a short space of time. Her vocabulary has expanded, she has made friends and is genuinely excited to see her nursery family each week. The manager Zsadina has gone above and beyond to make us all feel at ease, and always makes herself available. A big thank you to all the staff for their hard work and kindness. We see you, and appreciate you! Parents, if you need to send your child to a nursery in Heywood, look no further. Your child will be made to feel like family, not just a bum on a seat!”

“The even was organized by nvidia but the place is excellent. It has good resources and quite clean. Well located.”

“Wonderful place. My kid goes to chess class here. The teachers are wonderful.”

“An absolute gem tucked away with it's own land and great accommodation”

“Foreign visitor. Impressive. Took the Tram to Ashton from Manchester Piccadilly, £2.80 , 3 stops later and exactly at the Arena, cross the tramline and you're there. Saw the famed Mancity store. The stadium is Impressive. Great facilities and visit. County 91st Junior athletics was in session 2022, great competition too.”

“Took a very nervous ECS, who hadn't been clipped for a long time. Previous attempts had failed. They were really good with her and got her clipped.”

“Looks like a fantastic facility. State of the art amenities, and great travel connections. The regeneration in the area is fantastic and it was a pleasure to be there.”

“Bought spring rolls to take away. Friendly and quick service. They have a bar right next to the area you wait for your takeaway so easy to have a drink whilst you’re waiting which is a real treat.”

“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!”

“I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Martenscroft Nursery School, an establishment that truly stands out in providing a nurturing environment for our little ones. From cleanliness to professionalism, this nursery excels in every aspect. The heart of any successful nursery lies in its staff, and at Martenscroft Nursery School, the team is nothing short of amazing. Romessa, Salma, Jo, Lucy, Fatimah, Cathy, Maragaret, Jane, all staff are great. Their dedication to the well-being and development of the children is evident in every interaction. The staff members not only love children but also exude a passion for fostering their growth. Their warmth and genuine care create a positive atmosphere that puts both parents and children at ease. Aditionally, they have an expansive space provided for the children to play, both indoors and outdoors. The thoughtfully designed play areas offer a variety of activities that cater to the diverse interests and developmental needs of the children. I truly recommend Martenscroft to other parents seeking an exemplary nursery experience for their children. And note that they have a long wait list.”

“I would like to give positive feedback for Amelia from the Admissions Team. She has been incredibly kind and supportive throughout the entire process. Amelia communicates very clearly and always makes sure we fully understand each step. She explains everything in a simple, easy-to-follow way, which makes the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism, patience, and warm attitude truly make a difference, and I deeply appreciate her guidance.”

“Avoid venue for a Bury Cine Club meeting. Members of another user group friendly in directing me to my room. Close to Metro station, but hard to find in fog!”

“We can’t recommend Digs for Dogs highly enough! Our dog absolutely loves going on her “holidays” with them and gets so excited to jump into the van when she’s picked up. While we’re away, she’s completely spoilt and treated like a princess, which gives us total peace of mind knowing she’s being cared for and loved just as if she were their own. We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos—it’s lovely to see her enjoying herself while we’re away. Georgia and Oliver are so professional, kind, and welcoming, and they made the whole process of setting up our dog’s profile really easy. If you’re looking for a safe, caring, and fun place for your dog, we’d highly recommend Digs for Dogs!”

“Great food, slightly slow delivery but it is worth it! The donner naan here is absolutely massive and delicious. The pizza is worth ordering alone and every side is five stars. Quickly became our go-to takeaway!”

“Hey fabulous how it is for kids and the adult, s get the same treatment as you would a toddler.. I don't want to go on about it but I don't know how to put it nice... 256 is great but u can not get in unless you are a student... I love that place and I have been in the place for the best part of my life but I'm not allowed to have a good time in there as I am not a student.. I think students are going to regret the loss of the intelligence offered by the local people who are connected to the area and have a good account of the situation we are all living in the UK... I miss mingling and we are just going out for a few beers and a good time down the local pub... I will check out who to complain to then apply for a new world order for the sake of the party to be some what special for both young and old ish...”

“Great place weve helped with drop in advice there twice”

“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!”

“My good friends live here. Amazing place with amazing view!”

“Such a fabulous little hidden gem. A lovely theatre space and loved the show. So funny and a real good night out. Looking forward to seeing the next production.”

“Really cute! The chickens all look super happy too.”

“After finding Cultural Care Au Pair at an employment gap year fair at my college I have had nothing but positive interactions with them. The staff at Cultural Care were very supportive and helpful during the application and matching process and after I had found my host family they ensured I was well prepared and knew what was happening, and would happen, at every stage of my journey. I loved my 2 years in the U.S.A. and still keep in contact with my host family, friends from the U.S., friends from around the World and even the Cultural Care staff. I can honestly recommend even just speaking to Cultural Care if you think you want to live in the States, make family there, make friends there, meet friends from many Worldwide cultures and feel supported the entire time. There aren't many chances in life to move somewhere else and become a whole new person. Be who you want to be and take a chance on a life changing experience.”

“Really brilliant location, lovely staff! Great freedom for little ones!”

“Myself and my son love Jen's story and sensory sessions. Jen is so lovely and personable with each and every child and adult.”

“Our son just had his last day here after spending 2 years at Appledore in Moorside. The staff are amazing and so caring of the children I felt confident and comfortable from the start to leave our son in their care. He loved and felt comfortable being left with Leanne Holly or Racheal he started the nursery a quiet reserved child and today you wouldn’t even know it, he is so confident and happy and I believe a big part of his progress has been the staff here I’m sad he has to now leave and move on. If your looking for a safe happy loving learning environment for your children I would recommend this nursery highly.”

“Our kids both enjoyed their time here. Holly felt at home and grew in confidence. Staff were considered as friends”

“Absolutely amazing class for babies and toddlers. Becky is very educated on children's development which is shown in all her classes. My daughter says is the best class she has ever been too.”
