Infant toddler programs in Manchester

“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.”

“I cannot fault KDK. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and now attends the before school club, my daughter attends full time. I have never had an issue or a complaint, my children love to go. Su always goes above and beyond to help, she is flexible and willing to help, if I have ever needed the odd extra day. They provide footy totz, jo jingles/jo beans, rugby tots and take a group twice a week to swimming. Phonics is introduced to children in the pre-school room which has helped my son loads when he started school. Both of my children are excited to go to this nursery, I cannot recommend it enough.”

“Our son goes to Kiddie Kloud and he loves it. ALL the staff are brilliant with the kids, it’s very educational and they’ve always got something to bring home to show or some sort of activity on the go. On Tuesdays the older children go to what they call ‘Forest school’ where they go and learn about nature in the local reserve, foraging for leaves and sticks etc. We were very lucky to stumble on Kiddie Kloud for our son.”

“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.”

“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 ☺️”

“A really wonderful nursery. New build with lots of spaces indoors and a really big and beautiful outdoor garden, the biggest we've seen in nearby nurseries. The ethos is great and the staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. By definition of a childcare facility, it really gives children the care they deserve.”

“very friendly staff, lots of fun activities everyday for the children!”

“My daughter has been with Dolphin Babies/Academy for almost 2 years now, from being scared of water and screaming at the sight of the pool to now swimming 50 metres unaided, diving and progressing up through 3 stages. Amanda has been the best instructor ever, shes now like family to us, my little girl adores her and looks forward to her weekly lessons. I can’t recommend or thank the team enough for their constant professionalism, patience and skill!”

“Love this place. My little boy loves the stay and play sessions.”

“Christina & Yvonne are so lovely. My kids love going here. Xxx”

“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.”

“My daughter has been at ELC for about 9 months now. Before attednkng, she had an incredible nanny from a very early age. I was very nervous about the transition and level of care offered by a nursery compared to one on one care. We live in Spinningfields, so I conducted in depth research of the city centre childcare options. ELC wasn't the obvious choice compared to the chains in the city centre, but as soon as I met the owners / management I knew it was the right choice. ELC is family run and it really shows. Whenever there are any issues, they are incredibly proactive to create the best experience for our daughter. She had a hard time adjusting to the eating schedule so they asked what kinds of foods we eat at home in order to incorporate them into the menu. There were some staff changes with maternity leave which meant her key worker was changed. The first change didn't gel quite as well, so they transitioned to another key worker who now has an even closer relationship with her. For her settling in session, two of the staff came to our house - which was amazing and really helped her transition. She spends lots of time outdoors and taking walks. This is not the case for the other city centre nurseries. I love their Tapestry App which allows me to follow her activities and development as well as check in when I'm missing her at work. When we're traveling or doing something interesting at home I upload photos and they work them into her engagements. (Again, not available in the other nurseries.) ELC recently received a less than ideal Ofstead report which inspired me to write this review. As a parent, I am far less concerned a out procedures and paperwork than surrounding my daughter with a loving and playful environment. She is, after all, only 18 months!”

“My girl has been in Bubbly Bear for a while now and we are very happy. The premises are always clean and tidy. Love to see the activities updates they share of the children through their app. Might not have the most modern facilities but it surely has an amazing team. Very caring and loving. Surely recommend.”

“Really good enjoyable lessons for small groups- helpful staff”

“My little man likes to go to nursery and nice staffs there. Strong recommendation”

“My son and I love the place, the staff are supportive, and I feel like they have my child's interests at heart. There are plenty of activities for the kids, and he's always tired from having fun. It has been the making of him.”

“Very good service as they do great after school club”

“Love this shop quality of clothes are great beautiful different”

“Great nursery! Our daughter has attended for almost 3 years in the summer. She has thrived and thrived, and she is SO ready for reception in September & thanks to Macc Day Nursery I feel she’ll be ready for this. Great nursery, great activities, whether it’s forest school or stretch & grow they’re always doing something different, trips out into town. Our daughter has made lots of friends, made attachments to staff members, just really enjoys herself. It will be sad for her to leave, but we recommend 10/10, fabulous nursery!”

“A lovely, warm, cosy environment for children to achieve the best possible learning outcomes. Staff are all hardworking and enthusiastic and have fantastic knowledge of childcare and development! :)”

“My Son started at this nursery when he was 2. The staff were absolutely brilliant with him. The online portal for parents was a great way for parents to keep up to date with the learning and development of my child. Overall my child was very happy here. Would highly recommend as a parent!”

“Excellent caring staff always a smile on their faces. Definitely recommend this nursery 5 star rating.”

“Lovely staff, just shame it's so close to a heavy polluted road.”

“Very happy with doctor Rehman. Very polite, professional and a good doctor.”

“Brilliant staff, very professional, kind and good with kids. My child enjoyed her time at Domalo and I would recommend them to anyone. Excellent service.”
