Imaginative 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!”

“My daughter had a great day here. She can't wait to come back! This place offers something different than your usual play center. Staff and friendly and approachable too”

“Such a lovely place for little people! Staff are so lovely to talk to. My nearly 3 year old has the best time and doesn’t want to leave! It’s great because we don’t have room for all those toys (or money!) so she loves all the different toys, especially the shop and little house!”

“Had my daughters 5th birthday party here today and she loved it as did all her friends. The staff were great, especially with the party games. The party food and party bags were also enjoyed by the kids. Thanks for providing a great day for my daughter!”

“I am a current employee of tiny steps nursery and can say with confidence that this nursery is absolutely outstanding !! Management go above and beyond for there staff, children and even parents who come to the nursery. I started as an apprentice and my knowledge and confidence has grown very very quickly thanks to the support of my manager, I never thought I’d get as far as I have done when I started the job but I am thriving and I couldn’t of done that without a fantastic team.”

“My sons absolutely loved it!! Neither of them are climbers and don’t like normal soft play as they can’t access it so to have all areas of the soft play be accessible was amazing! We didn’t need to assist them in their play at all, they could do it all themselves.”

“One of the best play centres iv been, with grandbabies.”

“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.”

“Great play centre. Nice and clean with lots of different activities for the kids to enjoy. Attended a party here and it was expertly organised, the staff were extremely friendly and made the kids feel very welcome. The centre also includes a lovely cafe area for the adults to grab a drink or some yummy treats. Will definitely be bringing my kids back here.”

“Plenty of space here and a few things in the park for kids, swings, seesaw, slide, etc and lots of dog walkers...footie pitch and tennis court too ❤️”

“I had my daughters 4th birthday party here & when I say they went above and beyond, it was really special! I had booked the whole place out & the females who were working were amazing!! Helped me with all the decoration, setting the tables up, welcoming the guests, helping the children, setting up the children’s tables/parties. I had also ordered catering food for the adults, and the staff here has set it all up for me & made sure everything was perfect the whole way through the evening. I would definitely recommend Jungle J’s for parties, my daughter had the best time ever & all our guests had such a lovely time. Thank you so so much !!!”

“Safe clean well supervised play area kids loved it good food cheap entry fees parking at the front.”

“An amazing place to bring your child(ren). Each class is different and fun. Becky and Loz do a fantastic job of bringing so much excitement, colourful props. Their cheerful and empathetic personality, makes you feel valued. Me and my girl always looked forward to the classes. Thank you for offering your services which are highly recommended. If you've got a child or children under 4 please do them a favour and bring them to toddler sense. It was the best thing I ever done to bring my girl here. She loved this placed and so did I! ❤️”

“Our son who is in reception has been going to breakfast club, after school club & holiday club at school of play in Urmston since last September and we simply love it! We know from the moment he goes in until the moment we pick him up in the evening that he is in excellent care and that any messages with the teachers would also be communicated should there be a need. The team is exceptional, they always go the extra mile to make sure our son starts his day in a positive mind set with amazing greetings, understanding his feelings and providing encouragement to make him have loads of fun every day. We don't know how we would do without school of play to be honest!”

“We have just finished our first term of Adventure Babies with Hannah and it has easily become our favourite class. Hannah is so creative with the props for class, and she does a brilliant job at engaging all the babies and parents. It's just such a lovely group to go to, and we look forward to it every Tuesday. Looking forward to another term coming up for more adventures!”

“Fantastic space! Great people! already amazing and so promising! can't wait to see what will come from this space!! Well done guys! :P”

“My daughter loves here. This place is more than a school /nursery. The teachers are so caring and loving-kindness people... They treat my daughter like someone of theirs family.I see a lot of affection on their part with us parents too. Besides that it is impressive how they put all effort to create new and different activities all based on Montessori approach. I really could see changes in my daughter since the begging. She became more confident, concentrated and with More self- esteem.”

“My daughter loves this place, she has so much fun here. The staff are amazing, you can see it's more than a job to them, it has a magical atmosphere!”

“My son absolutely loves it here, he always comes home with a smile on his face. The staff are amazing and very helpful, easy to talk to and help in anyway they can.”

“Both of my children attend Play Alma Mater, and I wouldn't send them anywhere else. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming, and both my girls love them. The activities that they do on a daily basis are fantastic and so creative. They also provide hot, fresh, nutritious meals that they both enjoy. If you are looking for the best nursery for your children, then Play Alma Mater is definitely the one. I go to work every day, knowing that my babies are well looked after and enjoy their time there.”

“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 !”

“Both of my boys are at Juice and it is a happy, caring and warm environment and they really enjoy coming to nursery. My eldest boy has some special needs and they have been fantastically supportive with this. I cannot recommend them highly enough. It is true that parking is sometimes an issue but as a previous reviewer has said it is difficult to see what the nursery can realistically do about the small minority of parents who do not park considerately. Most of the time parking is fine and I can honestly say I have not had any serious problem in four years of parking there twice a day (not using residents' spaces I might add).”

“We hired Queen Elsa from princess impersonations and she was amazing!! My daughter's friends loved her, so did the grown-ups! She had a lovely singing voice too. We would highly recommend them and would use them again!”

“Excellent Nursery, excellent staff , fantastic facilities , particularly the outdoor areas, would recommend to everyone.”

“We sent our daughter went to C4M Ashton over 10 years ago. She loved it, so I booked our son in after the pandemic because he'd not mixed at all. He loves it now and has settled in nicely. I know the owners, managers and staff are passionate about providing fab childcare.”

“We had a wonderful experience using space station for our son. They supported my son and I throughout meetings for a speech delay and worked with him when he picked up basic sign language. My son now communicates with spoken language and has come on leaps and bounds with his all round development which all the girls at space station have helped him with. We have just left to start school nursery and we will miss them loads my son was always happy to attend once he had settled in. Thank you”

“My experience with Bamboo childcare? ..absolutely amazing, very helpful and supportive. I was contacted by Hayley who from the beginning has been really nice. I managed to get a job in a week after my first interview.  She found the perfect position for me and made sure that all my requirements were met. Thank you for everything!”

“Lovely, friendly theatre with hard worked professional performances in amateur dramatics. Don't forget the back room staff either with a great welcome from front of house to tremendously well designed sets, lighting and sound. Get their as soon as you can.”
