“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 ❤️”

“Nice relatively quiet playground (at least when the weather is a bit chilly). There is lots of space for kids to run around but it is for slightly older ones.”

“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! ❤️”

“My daughter has attended Rushbrook/Gorton Mount since nursery she is now in year 6. She has enjoyed her learning here and has accomplished so much, the staff are friendly and approachable and always willing to help. A totally brilliant school with a very good team working to enrich the lives of children.”

“Samson and Nala spent 5 months with Helen and Jan, we initially thought it would only be a few weeks until we bought our house. It was an emotional time being separated from our fur babies, Helen and Jan cared for us as well as our cats, we visited often and always had a cup of tea and a chat. The rooms are amazing with lots of toys to keep them stimulated, they changed rooms for a change of scenery, Samson has a history of having a sensitive stomach and was fed top quality food, their emotional needs were met with lots of daily cuddles, we were kept updated and any problems Helen would let us know. Helen and Jan have a genuine passion for cats, we were so happy with their care. The day we picked them up was emotional for all, Samson and Nala are now settled in our new house and we will always be so grateful for the love and care of our fur babies. Thank you again Helen and Jan xxxx”

“Fergus has been attending DogsZone for the last few months & I can honestly say the staff are so friendly & helpful & seem to really enjoy the company of the dogs. Fergus has some health issues with his stomach & staff sometimes feed him for me & this often isn’t easy as he’ll lose his appetite but they always persevere. I receive videos & photos all day of Fergus & the other dogs playing indoors & outdoors which is very reassuring. I highly recommend DogsZone!”

“Gareth has been walking our dog Bella for over 4 years. She always gets very excited when he turns up and she absolutely loves her walks. He is very reliable and trustworthy and I would highly recommend his services.”

“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.”

“Great hiking for all. We walked up past the reservoir. Unless there's been quite a bit of rain the downfall can be anything from nothing to a trickle but still some great views”

“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”

“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!”

“Lovely little place to spend an hour just walking the humans. There are many paths to take, some easy and others more suited to us of the four legs persuasion. I definitely think I'll be taking my humans here again! Coffee and toasted sandwiches at the café are an ideal end to the walk!”

“I haven't been to the park for a while, I really enjoyed it. Lots of areas have been deliberately left to go wild. There is also a lovely new playground. Lots of work going on to improve it.”

“Lovely park for families with young children. You pay £4 for parking and the rest of the facilities are free to use. Decent play area and the little farm is a great touch with lots of peacocks.”

“Went on a windy cold January day and the park was magnificent!!! It’s only 4 miles from Manchester and on a clear day you can see the Mancunian towers and buildings from the hilltops. There’s a tram stop just beside it so very easy to go to. Wasn’t too crowded at all probably because of the wind. The animals were out and about enjoying the little sun they could find. The gardens are well kept. Some of the food stalls were closed but the cafe and pub were both open for food and drinks”

“Really nice park, done a lot of work on it since I last visited. Small and large play areas. Water fountains to play in. Nice walks around through the woods and small animals and birds to see.”

“This is a lovely park I highly recommend coming here for an afternoon out. The play area is small but perfect for small children. The park its self is beautiful, well kept and no litter. We met quit a few dog walkers who were all lovely. This park is definitely worth a visit we will certainly be coming back.”

“I take my 2 young grandchildren regularly to this lovely park. My only issue is the number of dog walkers, often with several dogs each. As it is a park that is well used by families I feel that dogs should be kept on a lead. Otherwise it's a beautiful local asset.”

“Really great place to walk or jog. Also beside the river, so it's good to bring some seeds for the birds.”

“A great walk and good opportunity to let your dog have a paddle in the river without getting to muddy.”

“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.”
