“Our 7 year old daughter attended for 1 week last week during half term. She loved it and was very happy every morning and night. There were plenty of staff and it seemed very safe when I arrived each night. The location was handy as my wife and I both work I different offices on the quays. We travel from bramhall direction and having somewhere close to work removed the usual half term stress of having to get back home in time. The actual set up internally looked fantastic, other half term clubs have been in 'rent by the day' school halls and seemed to not have have the advantage of purpose built resources. All in all, it is well run, safe and our daughter had a lovely week there. Thanks to all the team at Footlights!!”

“Gorgeous place to get a coffe in Manchester. The vibes inside this cafe are amazing and it is very relaxing. Music choice is really good and the sitting area is very cool as well. I am a coffee lover and I'm usually drinking double espresso and here is absolutely terrific, so flavoured and tasted,way above the multitude of cafes around the town center area . Pastries and sandwiches are very fresh and a full vegan selection is available. Last but not least, the staff. People that work here are so nice and gentle that is kinda go and have a coffee with your friend, especially if you meet Paula,Charley and the rest of the team!these guys are just amazing! Definitely a place to spend a very peaceful afternoon.”
