Emotional development in Hale

“Since the first day my daughter started at Hale Day Nursery, she has thrived and loved every moment. She’s seamlessly moved from one room to the next, receiving the same level of care and attention by each member of staff, who deliver learning and development in a fresh and forward-thinking way - one that engages and stretches the children. I can’t recommend the nursery enough.”

“My daughter has improved greatly in her speech, her eating and her overall development and I have to say it's mostly thanks to the kind and sweet staff at kids planet... I have had a great experience and would recommend anyone to go here...”

“My son has finished his first year of reception and it’s been a good experience. Our hope was that he’d find a friendly and diverse environment where any learning needs could be quickly identified and addressed. Although our primary focus was an emphasis good pastoral care and holistic development versus pure academic targets, we’ve been happy to note that he performs well above a broad group of his peers in this aspect. He has been stretched in areas where he was strong and supported in those he currently struggled with. As a consequence, he no longer finds mathematics onerous and takes pleasure in demonstrating his skills. We look forward to his pursuing opportunities in music and on the sports field in the coming years. A welcome bonus has been making new friends with other parents from a wide range of backgrounds. Accepting that we may be biased given the wealth of excellent state primary schools in Trafford, overall our experience with the school has been a good one, supporting our choice for an independent school in general and St Ambrose in particular.”

“Lindsay is a brilliant therapist. Her approach towards your needs is thoughtful and empathetic. Lindsay helped me through a difficult time last year and I have come out stronger than ever. Every session was a pick me up, brush myself down and plan made for me to move forward. If you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders with no one to talk to Lindsay can help with no judgement and practical REALISTIC advice throughout. She is smart as a whip and learned in all walks of life. I found it easy to talk to her about business, family, friends and my feelings. Overall I cannot thank Lindsay enough for all she has done for me, my family and my friends.”

“Lorraine has helped me through so much this past year. She has helped me overcome childhood trauma and complex family issues and I cannot thank her enough. She goes above and beyond as a therapist, she does not only help you achieve what you went to therapy to do, but also creates a friendship like bond with you that helps you excel as an individual. I could not recommend her enough! Mimi Gachet x”

“I went to this school and i really enjoyed my experience there!!! I recommend this school to everyone”

“Great school so far! I have only been for 1 half-term, and its lockdown again. But the teaching quality is great and the expectations are high! Overall a good school. :)”

“A wonderful community school where pupils are nurtured and supported, led from the front by superb headteacher Mrs McDowell”

“We have been seeing Dr Oppenheim for the last 7 years. Our son was not attending school and had very high anxiety. Dr Oppenheim assessed and then diagnosed him with ASD and gave us step by step instructions and support to help him back into school. Which were successful. We have had appointments every 3 months without fail through the many ups and downs that come with school & teenage years. Dr Oppenheim has always been correct in her assessment and picked up on any issues we need to address. Her secretary has been amazing too especially when we have required urgent appointments by telephone or zoom. I have recommended Dr Oppenheim to many people because of her thorough assessment, caring but to the point discussions with my son and her ability to talk on his level. Her experience is invaluable.”
