Top 30 Best Children's well being in Manchester

“A warm and welcoming team of extraordinary people. Both my children currently attend little pandas. My oldest is getting ready to leave for primary school this summer and I'll be absolutely heartbroken for her when she leaves. Every single member of staff have been incredible with both my girls and they both have loved attending from the moment they started. My oldest girl has additional needs, which can be challenging to accommodate at times, but they have gone above and beyond to make my little girl feel comfortable and happy. They have built a very special relationship with her and a great understanding of her (sometimes complex ) needs. She would not be happy being left with just anyone and I'm forever grateful to all the pandas staff for making her time here, fun, friendly, comfortable and educational (for all of us actually) They've always made me as the parent feel very included. I'm pleased that my youngest still has some time left here so I do not have to leave pandas completely behind just yet as my oldest is getting ready to leave. They've put so much effort into my little girls and especially my eldest in getting her ready to embark on her next step into primary school. Not a better place to start my girls educational careers and feel very thankful we came to little pandas. Comfortable and cosy with smaller classes. big hearts over big profit. I would highly recommend pandas to anyone that wants the absolute best start for their child with people that actually do genuinely care and love all the children that attend there.”

“lovely nursery my son absolutely loves it. the staff are great with the kids and all the kids are really happy and relaxed :)”

“My son is at this school absolutely fantastic teachers and great kids.”

“Only been to vote but school looks very clean well organised and informative by displays - has excellent Ofsted reports”

“Staff, parents, facilities and pupils absolutely excellent...and the breakfast/after school club so great our son didn't want to come home....so many happy memories ..fantastic school and so much more...”

“Small school with excellent facilities and a very high standard teaching”

“Myself and my partner couldn't recommend Monkey Puzzle Altrincham more highly, any parent looking for a place for their child, this is the place to go. Both my self and Bryan are over the moon with the facilities and the service they offer along with the passion and care shown by each and every member of staff. Our son James has developed so much, even in the few short months we have seen his social skills develop rapidly and his vocabulary is growing by the day. We are very much looking forward to following his journey with these lovely ladies x x”

“My daughter attends this school. They are very good great staff members child loves it never complained about anything only downside parking to drop/collect is mayhem. But then again which school doesn’t have this problem”

“Amazing theatre school with a fun, positive, diverse and inclusive ethos. With the most caring and supportive staff My sons have been going to Chestnut Theatre School for 6 years. They absolutely love it. They have so much fun as well as learning a range of drama skills. They have thrived under the support of Sarah and her team who have such a wonderful way of nurturing and supporting young people to bring out the best in them. My boys have grown so much in confidence. The range of activities/games and learning they do with chestnuts keeps them busy and engaged, They have taken part in numerous shows and showcases which they really enjoy. What I really like about chestnuts is that they will always work at the pace of your child. They are not pushy. If your child is shy/and quiet (my youngest one was for the longest time) that's ok there is still a space for them at chestnuts. They wont get lost in the crowd as every child is made to feel like star. And as a mum its really important for me that the clubs my kids go to a not just educational but are fun, positive and supportive. And chestnuts definitely is. 5stars!!”

“It's a great school to go to but the best my duater had been in”

“Excellent school, rated "Outstanding" by OFSTED. If you don't want to take the word of the OFSTED inspectors, ask a parent of a young person that attends the school. The school motto is "Learn, Sparkle, and Shine", and it really comes across in the way the staff interact with both the children and their parents. There seems to be an energy and enthusiasm for both learning and the encouraging every child to maximise their potential. This is a church school with links to the nearby Farnworth St. John's (Church of England); however, the children are encouraged to understand and explore faiths of all varieties. The school offers a wide variety of extra activities after school, such as art, chess, computing, dance, and various sports. There is also a "breakfast club" which allows parents to drop-off children at 8am for a small charge. The staff encourage children to take on additional responsibilities, such as joining the school council, keeping the school tidy, or promoting technology within their class. A wide variety of visits (outside the school) take place each year, both far educational purposes and to enable the children to participate in the wider community. Sports day is a fitting climax to the school year, and the extra effort put in by the staff ensures that all the children (and parents) are kept busy as the class groups rotate through the multiple events taking place at the same time. This is a large (two-form-entry) school that recently extended their buildings, but does not loose any of the personal touch thanks to the dedicated head-teacher and her hard working staff team.”

“Teachers in nursery are lovely and really good with children! I would easily recommend this nursery to anyone!”

“Love wellfield Infants, such a caring friendly school and my 2 girls love it, my 6 year old struggled when she started and the teachers were amazing with her, the support was really good.”

“It a very good nursery, they have contributed in the development of my children. I will recommend to anyone who lives in Manchester area and a good nursery for their children.”

“Good nurturing school, my little one loves it here and has come on leaps and bounds.”

“Wonderful group of staff at this family run nursery, my son has really thrived. They really care about their kids and the detail that goes into their wellbeing and development is remarkable. Thank you.”

“Our son has been going to Snuggle Bums Day Nursery for about a month now. We are quite impressed by the friendly staff who always strive to always accommodate our questions and queries. Our son settled quite quickly as it was his first time going to a nursery. I cannot recommend them enough..”

“Kids enjoy going to this school. Good communication a lot of the time with Parents through both website , mobile texting and specific handouts when necessary. Teachers do a fantastic job, plenty of engagement with the class. Discipline is kept in check well, breakfast / after lunch a real bonus for working parents. Only minor point, parking can be a pain. New street lighting and general tidy up are a move in the right direction.”
