Child led play in Manchester

“We had a fantastic day at Manchester Bees forest school today. It was lovely to see my two children grow in confidence throughout the day and get involved with so much, including lighting fires and drilling! Thanks to Siân for making everything so accessible for my daughter, who is deaf. The children went straight into the bath when we got home, and the water turned brown with mud! That’s the sign of a great day!”

“We had my sons 5th birthday party here and it was fantastic. Everything ran so smoothly and staff were incredibly helpful. My son and all of his friends had a great time. Would definitely recommend for a hassle free party venue.”

“We love swimming with puddle ducks. My children started from an early age. It's a gentle programme that nurtures them through life saving skills.”

“My 10 year old daughter has been attending Parsely Pie for some time now and looks forward to and enjoys her weekly class immensely ! Jenny offers the children amazing support and nurture’s their creativity and ideas wholeheartedly with a variety of media for them to explore ! Without hesitation I would recommend Parsley Pie Art Classes to any parent with a child who has an interest in art !”

“As a primary school teacher the education, nurturing environment and care of the nursery provider we chose was so important. After visiting a few nurseries locally it was clear within seconds of meeting Nursery manager Sarah I wanted my daughter to go to Educare. It was a very simple choice also after being made to feel welcome to visit anytime we wanted without an appointment. After nursery did so much to help out eldest daughter to settle in, when the time came we enrolled our second child without hesitation. Best decisions we've made in their short but precious lives.”

“Sandy Lane nursery is the most amazing nursery. The staff are so lovely with a genuine interest in your child, the outside is very very spacious with lots and lots for the children to do. The visits to the forest is my sons favourite. They always keep you up to date with any activities etc that is going on and always keep you informed of what your child has been doing throughout the day, regularly sending you pictures. Thank you Sandy Lane for being so amazing.”

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

“Amazing people, quality care, fantastic management with loads of commitment. Recommend to everybody”

“The BEST baby/toddler class!! Jill is the most fun, energetic teacher there is! 100% recommend!”

“Love this nursery so so much. My daughter went here and she still wants to visit the staff because she loves them. My son's are registered to start here in 12 months, such ashame they don't take 1 year olds because I'd take them tomorrow if I could”

“My daughter started here in September just as she turned two, as a nervous and anxious person I was dreading the transition for the both of us but Nikita made me feel so comfortable and was so compassionate towards the both of us during this time. My daughter now looks forward to her weeks here and tells me how much she misses “kita” during their time apart. All of the staff are wonderful and treat the children with the upmost love and respect. They fill their days with multiple activities that are fun but also educational building essential life skills and confidence in our little ones. Their is a indoor nursery with a home from home environment and the outdoor / garden area is full of activities such as a mud kitchen, bug hotel and camp fire. If your child is slightly feral like mine and a free spirit this is definitely the best place for them! My daughters language and confidence has come on leaps and bounds here and I cannot recommend the nursery enough. Thank you for creating a conscious, beautiful space for our children to blossom. There really is no better place local!”

“My boys are 3&6 and have been going to forest school since they could walk! They love it! The holiday club is perfect as I don’t have to be out in the cold mud all day but they can do what they love!!!”

“Excellent service! We used a cat sitter for the first time and were not disappointed with Clare...We found our cat happy and the litter box clean. We were always updated during our vacation about our cat. I advise everyone to contact Diddly Steps, great prices.”

“I’ve been taking my little girl since she was 5 weeks old and she loves it, Jen is amazing and my little girl loves her. Would highly recommend. I love how one class covers so much from story time to messy play helping your little one with all their developments in a fun and creative way”

“We’ve been going with my LB since he was a teeny baby and he loves the classes! He has learnt so much and he has developed so much in every way. He’s so much more confident and love going to this class. I’m gutted this is his last term and I know we will both miss it! I can’t recommend it enough!”

“Jen is perfect for the job. So enthusiastic and friendly. Great balance of story and play. Looking forward to coming back for another term.”

“Our Daugter attended Hazelwood Nursey from 7 months old and now attends the After school/holiday club. We have always been thrilled with the level of care and commitment to our daugter on a daily basis. At eight years old she still talks about the Aunties and wonderful memories she has. Hazelwood Nursery offers a home from home for our child. We always felt happy and resssured leaving her in the wonderful care of the dedicated staff team. They offer a superb after school and holiday club which has been an invaluable extention of our daughters learning and development. I would highly recommend Hazelwood Nursery. S Hagon (father).”

“I cant Praise woodlands nursery enough so Thankyou so much you have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome when we come in in the morning. Since my little girl started in 2017 she settled into nursery life very well And she loves going to nursery 2 days a week and I’m so thankful for the girls at woodlands for looking after me and my little girl and we definitely will be recommending woodlands day nursery for my friends and family. Thankyou to Danielle the nursery manager you have an amazing team of girls and your always friendly and I can’t Thankyou enough for having an amazing nursery my daughter loves coming too.”

“Good and caring staff. I'm impressed by the standards”

“I’m so happy and content with the care & support Tiddlywinks give to my daughter each and every day. The staff go above and beyond to promote her development. My eldest also goes to their after school club, which makes it’s so much easier collecting them both together after work.”

“Nurture is a wonderful nursery. The staff are kind and caring, and have taught my daughter so much. From the baby room to Preschool you can be confident your child is being very well looked after.”

“We have nothing but praise for St Anne’s Pre School. The support they have given us as parents and our little boy is second to none. Even prior to getting a full diagnosis of Autism, they fully understood his needs and supported him. He very quickly went from crying on entry to running in. The change in him is absolutely amazing. Originally our main worry was how he was ever going to be ready for school. But with the support of the staff and other professionals, we are now in a place where with still 7 months to go we are looking forward. They are already putting things in place to make the transition to school easier and, a better less stressful experience for all. Prior to starting at St Anne’s he did 6 months somewhere else, and we’re so glad we decided to move him. Can’t recommend them highly enough. A big thanks to all.”
