“Having a batman sleeve done by Colin and its looking mint! Top quality tattoos by a top quality guy...colin will keep you chatting till you walk out the door which helps with the pain and sets a welcoming chilled atmosphere!”

“I can not recommend Baby Boom enough! From starting baby massage when my daughter was just 5 weeks old, 6 months later we love coming every week. Such a calm class, with lots of sensory, helps with my girls trapped wind, and you get to enjoy a HOT drink at the end of it! Yes a drink that is actually still hot ;). I was an incredibly anxious new mum, but the girls and other mums are so friendly and welcoming, I don’t know what I would do without this place.”

“The olive garden nursery is a fantastic setting for babies and young children. The staff are warm, friendly and caring! They really do go above and beyond to welcome all parents and most importantly, the children that they look after. The rooms are beautiful and very well equipped to ensure they promote a happy environment and a safe and secure place for the children to play and learn. I can’t recommend this nursery enough and guarantee that you won’t be disappointed if you send your child/children here.”

“Bodybarre is the oldest bespoke pole and aerial studio in Manchester. The staff are phenomenally talented, lovely and supportive. Both me and my 9 year old daughter have enjoyed classes and 1-2-1’s there for several years, and we always learn something each time. Just wish we lived closer so we could go there more often!”

“My daughter has been attending bright futures nursery since she started in the baby room and absolutely loves it. She has a very strong relationship with all the staff within her room, especially her key worker. She always comes home telling myself and her daddy lots of lovely stories about what she has been doing during the day. My daughter gets daily messages which we love to read about at the end of the day too. We also have another baby on the way and in the future will definitely be attending this nursery. Brilliant nursery with staff who are so friendly and who you can trust.”

“I’m happy I brought my son to this nursery, I was so nervous as a first time mum going back to work and taking him to nursery. But they reassured me and he settled in so well he’s crawling and trying to walk now I’m so happy best nursery choice I’ve ever made :)))))) would recommend it !!!”

Roxy was amazing with the kids and I would highly recommend their services. Thank you!”

“Lovely AmDram Hall with seating for over 100 play lovers. All looks very new. 4-5 plays per annum. Well played. No restrooms but there are toilets.”

“My little boy loves it here and can’t wait to go each day! My child started this nursery at 10 months when I had to return to work and had thrived over the last year in the Incy Winsy Baby Room. Myself and my family adore the staff, environment and ethos of Precious Day Nursery. We are kept fully informed of his care and development through Tapestry, daily conversations, letters home and Facebook newsfeeds. I always feel informed and confident of my child’s development and targets for development. The staff throughout the nursery are always friendly and helpful from the moment you walk through the door. I feel the nursery has a ‘homely feel’ and is well run by all staff from the managers, breakfast club staff and key workers. My child really enjoys his sessions here, I would highly recommend this nursery to others looking for a safe positive learning environment for their child.”

“Excellent place to learn guitar my husband has been going January registered blind. Neil has been really patient with him and taught him a step at a time going over anything he doesn't understand and place his fingers correctly.It has brought him more confidence to do something he never thought he would be able to.Well worth the money you pay.”

“Fabulous venue. Friendly helpful staff. Great choice of items to paint. Excellent value for money, will definitely be back.”

“What a fantastic place, we hadn’t been before, we were greeted with kindness, we were settled in, everything explained to us and then the fun began. Painting unicorns, making memories all with a brew, juice for the children, gorgeous cake, just wonderful. I truly could not recommend this lovely venue to all ages, enough!! The cost was very fair for the whole experience. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!”

“Different stuff on different days. Well used by the community”

“Beautiful church owned by the Halle, as a rehearsal space for the Orchestra, but has .any other uses. Recently, Fever have done many concerts who have played to 200+ audiences. The space is also home to many choirs, even those from the community. Camarata and Phsappha have held concerts here too. We,ve also had a number of weddings and receptions here as well as corporate events! We've also had outside events held in here too! St.Peters is even bigger now, since the extension. We have offices, single rehearsal spaces, a Cafe on site, run by Cotton Cafe a d the beautiful Victoria Wood Hall.....so lots of different activities or rehearsals can take place at any one time!!!”

“very informative and structured guided tour in paradise mill worth the price a full half day tour if done in its entirety thanks to our guide olga”

“My child has been attending the setting for the last 3 months and I can’t thank the team enough for all they have done. Whilst arranging settling sessions, the management team were very flexible and made it very clear that the amount of settling sessions my little boy had was completely dependent upon him and I thought this was fab as not all nurseries take this approach. It’s clear to see that the nursery values each child and will do all they can to provide a happy and caring environment. My little one is always happy to see the ladies and has built such a lovely bond with everyone in the setting, especially the ladies on his floor and the management team. I can’t think of a better nursery to watch my little one grow in. Thanks ladies!”

“I have danced at Sandham's Dance Studio's for 14 years and have enjoyed all my classes during this period of time. I have just won the Nationwide Championship Rock 'n' Roll Finals at the Winter Gardens Blackpool. Over the years I have competed at a number of competitions and the support from the teachers here has been outstanding. Elizabeth M”

“Went in for a late breakfast with my other half. Asked for a small adjustment to the vegan breakfast which they were happy to do. All the staff were super pleasant and the place had a really chilled, warm vibe. To top it off the food was exceptional, and the coffee was also really good. Will definitely be back!”

“Came here for a charity Christmas party for local charity 'SPOONS' neonatal support for parents. It's a lovely place. Very clean, tidy and they have a bar open for certain events. Plenty of room inside. Great if you need a venue for a kids party.”
