Nursery schools in Manchester

“My little boy attended this setting from the age of 2 up until he left for school last year. The staff were all extremely caring for him and brought on his confidence. He loved coming to nursery and was always happy to see his friends and all the staff”

“My little one has been going to Cherubs for the last 2 years and she absolutely loves it. The nursery has a beautiful outdoor area and makes the most of it, organising outdoor activities and lots of games. We are also very happy with all the online updates where we can see her playing, drawing, learning and chatting with her friends.”

“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 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.”

“This nursery has my heart. The staff are so professional And extremely good in what they do. Our kids have been going for just 3months now and the improvement in them has been just WOW. My 2year ood went from just saying a few words to communicating in sentences in just 3 months!!!! I am super grateful to everybody at Merrykidz”

“Looking for a nursery for your child is one of the most stressful and worrying times, especially if your child like ours has a medical condition. OI is basically brittle bone disease, so nursey setting had to be right. After visiting a few nurseries we had almost given up hope, then The yellow door came up and it was the best decision to send our son here. It's like home from home, staff are informative and nursery settings are natural and beautiful. Risk assessments took place and support offered was amazing, he has grown in confidence and development. So happy we made the right choice .”

“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”

“Highly Recommend My daughter has been attending this nursery for nearly a year and absolutely loves it. The staff are absolutely amazing with her and are always helpful. I have a daily report on how she has been and what she has been up to. They have really helped with her developmental and Identifying the areas she is doing well in and challenging her to make sure she is always learning and progressing. The management team always have time for any questions or queries that I have, no matter how big or small they are.”

“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.”

“My daughter easily adjusted in the nursery I like the way staff handle the kids there very cooperative teachers nice environment for kids Thanks to aqsa she deals the people in good way”

“Sandy Lane nursery is the most amazing nursery. The staff are so lovely with a genuine interest in your child, the outside is very very spacious with lots and lots for the children to do. The visits to the forest is my sons favourite. They always keep you up to date with any activities etc that is going on and always keep you informed of what your child has been doing throughout the day, regularly sending you pictures. Thank you Sandy Lane for being so amazing.”

“Ad a first time mum there was so much I didn't know about registering and getting my child ready for nursery. Sadina (hopefully spelt that correctly) was so helpful. On the ohone and such a positive and warm welcome into a new experience for myself and what my child will soon be facing. Thank you very much!”

“My little boy LOVES this nursery. Everyday he is excited to go. They have an amazing garden one of the best in the area. It is no suprise why this nursery is rated OUTSTANDING by ofsted. Lots of activities such as foot ball, yoga, phonics and nursery rhymes just what every child loves. The staff are amazing and have helped my son come on leaps and bounds since he started. Lee is a credit to the nursery and absolutely fabulous with zachary. My little boy talks about him so much as well as dawn. I will be sad when my little boy starts school and no longer attends here as he loves it that much. I was worried when he first started about leaving him but there was no need as each and every member of staff goes above and beyond to make the children feel settled and welcomed. I would not hesitate in using this nursery for any future children. Thank you for providing a wonderful nursery.”

“Due to being born just before lockdown, Lydia hadn't been around many people when she first started, and was a very anxious baby with new people. Since starting I've noticed a huge improvement in how well she settles now with different people, the Famly system is great, keeping us up to do date. Fantastic nursery, thank you to all the staff.”

“All the staff here are amazing and so understanding with all of the children, my daughter came on in leaps and bounds when she started. Couldn’t ask for a better nursery, teachers or friends for my LO.”

“My daughter has been attending this nursery for around 4 weeks now, this was her first time in a nursery and it was very nerve wrecking for the both of but the staff there was so helpful, kind and caring during her settle in sessions. She loves to go there everyday now and has learnt so much in a short space of time. Overall I am so happy I chose this nursery and would recommend to anyone how outstanding the service is there.”

“This Nursery is the best nursery in Bury by far. All 3 of my children have attended here for a number of years, the staff are amazing and the most friendliest of people, always helpful. My children have been cared for very well here and learnt a lot and grown to become amazing individuals because they got the best start to their life and learning journey. Definitely highly recommended.”

“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 !!!”

“My little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting at bright stars, he’s so happy and sociable while he’s at nursery. The girls are amazing with him and it’s obvious he loves it there. I am always updated with what he’s done during that day and eaten. They are also very accommodating with my last minute shifts and booking days. I can’t thank you all enough for looking after and loving him how we do at home! Xx”

“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.”

“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 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!”

“Outstanding nursery, staff, service and care. Never felt more confident leaving my child in such a safe environment. The care is outstanding, the food is so nutritious and playtime isn’t only fun but educational. Highly recommended. Thank you Olivia and your amazing team!”

“My little boy attends Playdays and we are very happy with the care that he receives. This is a fantastic nursery with excellent facilities. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are focussed on his development and they look at children individually. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends”

“My son has attended this nursery for just over two years now and it has truly become a home away from home. One of the key strengths that I have identified is the practitioner- parent relationship by the use of the app. I love feeling involved and informed about what he’s getting up to throughout the day, see all the wonderful activities that he experiences and the fun he has with his friends; he is very happy here.”

“My son has attended Bolton School from the age of 5 and has just finished his A levels. He has lots of opportunities throughout his school life . Although his main extra curricular activities have revolved around sport where he has represented the school at football, cricket, water polo and hockey he has also been stretched into the arts having the opportunity to act, and play the trumpet in concerts. Discipline is strong in the school but I have found it fair. Academically he has progressed and has turned into a well rounded individual. Thank you Bolton School.”

“My daughter started here in November when she turned 2 and she has developed so so much during this time it’s amazing to see! All the staff are lovely and her teacher Deanna is amazing at her job she gives me regular insightful updates on Evas progression! My daughter loves it and I can go to work without worry knowing she’s being looked after by the best!”

Particularly impressed with the real world play and the way they employ new initiatives to keep the children engaged. Wholeheartedly recommend.”
