Top 30 Best Day nursery in Manchester

“I have been impressed by the level of care given to both my son and daughter during their time at Little Giggles. The daily warm welcome of staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. My children have both learned and grown but most importantly had fun. Thank you to all the team at Little Giggles ❤️”

“Brilliant nursery my daughter loves attending, she access a large outdoor space and a great variety of activities, she has great relationships with the staff and has a large group of peers who she cannot wait to see every day. Would definatley recommend Dunky's to anyone looking for childcare.”

“Great nursery, great staff, great all round. Would fully recommend :)”

“Highly recommended, amazing key workers, homemade food, beautiful rennovated nursery rooms and an amazing outside play space. We looked at many nurseries in the area, but when we viewed Gelston we knew immediately it was the right place for us. Our little one has settled in well in his first week with no tears at drop offs and by day two babbling away and loving his time at nursery. Our key worker tells us all about his day, sends us photos and works with us to try new foods, experiences and share his progress. We are looking forward to seeing him developer further and make friends for life along the way. The nursery managers also share useful links of funs things to do at home, receipes etc which is really useful especially throughout lockdown.”

“Our two daughters both attended Honeybear from the age of 11 months. They both absolutely loved it and so did we. The staff are so wonderfully caring and nurturing. The turnover is low and because it is small, all of the staff got to know our children so well. This made transitions between rooms as they got older really smooth. It’s such a friendly atmosphere between the staff (who really care), children, and parents. They helped our girls become so confident, happy, and settled. Highly recommend!”

“I could not rate this nursery highly enough. My son’s development has been swift due to the attention and focus the practitioners give him. The daily fun they have is always shared via the Facebook page or the parents app. As a parent, you want to see your child enjoying their time at nursery so the regular updates and pictures make all the difference. Dealing with the management team is easy with quick communications and a general “work with you” attitude rather than against you.”

“Absolutely amazing nursery highly recommend most secure and safest nursery in Northwich I searched all over Northwich for the best nursery and this was the best one out of all of them the the care and plans and safety that have been put in place for my daughter due to her disabilitys are out of this world with this nursery you are not just a number you feel part of one big family all of the staff there are absolutely amazing very polite friendly and very welcoming I will be sticking with this nursery for my next child all day long”

“Stuffs here are very kind and professional. The outside of this centre is very spacious with a small parking place on the front door. But the inside room space is a little insufficient so it's a little crowded when several familis are here.”

“Best nursery in Manchester. Both my children have attended Paintpots from baby room until school. If future brings more children this is the only nursery we would attend.”

“Just wanted to leave a review for anyone who is in anyway apprehensive or indecisive about choosing this nursery…don’t be! Myself and my sister are both first time mums, whose babies were born during the lockdown. They have had very little interaction with other adults or children so we were incredibly worried how they would settle. From the moment we picked this wonderful nursery (due to recommendations from 4 of my friends), the communication has be so professional, caring & reliable. They attended for taster sessions and all the staff, not just our children’s teachers have wonderful. Both our children are content and settled with their teachers who are incredibly caring and easily go in with them - no tears!!! It is just such a friendly, caring and nurturing nursery. So so glad we picked here. I couldn’t feel any more content with sending my little boy and niece here.”

“The staff here are totally amazing. My baby has had no problem adapting to being here fulltime. He started at 19 months and was probably the smallest child in attendance but thankfully the holiday club that is also provided here allowed for his 7yr old brother to be with him for the the first fortnight. The meals are plant based which is really helpful as my children have a mostly meat free diet. I was worried about how he would feel after spending all his time with mummy and then being apart for such a long portion of the day but he is thriving here and I couldn't be happier.”

“A Very Good Nursery Professionally run. All the Staff cannot do enough for the Children. A variety of activities for them to do so they are learning lots. My little boy has come on so well since starting nursery and he loves going. I am happy that he is happy there and would definitely recommend Thank you x”

“The Boat House is a lovely nursery with friendly, helpful staff who are fantastic with the kids and really bring on their development and pre-school education in a low key, warm and supportive environment. I can’t recommend them highly enough, my son loved it here.”

“Bring Your Child to this Safe and Nurturing Nursery. Amazing opportunities and a Highly Qualified Staff Team. Both my girls love it here.”

“Fantastic staff, who are relaxed and warm, and great activities (lots of messy play!) for the children. The Nursery has made the most of their back yard by turning it into something like a tiny wooden village. I feel my child can really enjoy just being a kid here, before the onslaught of school.”

“My Minnie loved being in toddlers and now loves being in pre school. She tells me lots of stories about her day and I can't thank the staff enough for what they do. She has started her potty training whilst being at nursery and she is doing brilliantly thanks to the staff working alongside her. Really is a great nursery! Highly recommended ☺️”

“Squirrels is an amazing nursery! My son has been here since he was 9 months old and I couldn't be happier. He has come on leaps and bounds, the teachers are incredible at what they do and he absolutely loves being there. This is such a comfort to know he's happy and safe. Would highly recommend Squirrels nursery to anyone.”

“Staff are wonderful and really caring. Sunny smiles feels like an extension of the family with a professional touch”

“Absolutely brilliant nursery. Facilities and activities are great but the absolute stars of the show are the staff. Caring, engaged and well trained. Both my children have loved their time here and I would always recommend it to friends and family.”

“Excellent friendly staff, very clean areas, they really know how to make each of your children feel special. I can't think of a better place!”

“My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old. She has developed into a confident, funny and clever little girl with the help of the team at Paintpots. All the guys are so friendly and Rebecca will go above and beyond to make sure your children’s needs are catered for. There is such a lovely family atmosphere to the nursery that I couldn’t imagine leaving her anywhere else. Thank you for all of your hard work.”

“This is a wonderful nursery, with a great team of staff members that will help your children, learn, grow and develop in their early years.”

“Amazing Staff. My son has been going here now for 1year+. Chole and the Nursery Team always go the extra mile in understanding your needs and they provide amazing support and services MY son will be here until he graduates Thank you all”

“Friendly professional atmosphere from all staff every day, an all round wonderful nursery, would highly recommend having a look around, lovely nursery inside and out, bright, spacious and very inviting :)”

“Excellent nursery. Very flexible. Friendly aunties, who are great with the kids!”

“My sister went here when it was still called treetops and before they got alot of things. I came here for holiday clubs when I was around 5 and the staff were teasing and fun. I remember Chloe and Sarah, chloe gave me a name badge holder which I still have but I lost the paper with her name. I miss this place so much and will visit soon for sure, its almost been a decade.”

“I am a qualified nursery nurse and i have been there for 3 months and i can honestly say that i have never met such nice members of staff they have made me feel so welcome. they are all so amazing at there jobs and i could not ask to work with the best lot of people in my work place thankyou xx”
