Urban nature connection in Manchester

“Absolutely my favourite place to come with my children lively walk, nice area to sit and eat our lunch just lovely and most of the time peaceful”

“Great for walks. You can pretend you're on your hols for a while.”

“Wonderful hospital with children patients caring need. Good staff.”

“Stuart gives his whole life to rescuing Animals in need! At his stage in life, to still be working tirelessly, with very little help is to be admired. Please support if you can, donations are always welcomed.”

“This park has a great bakery called pollen, worth a visit for fresh pastries, bread and good coffee. There's also a brewery next door called cask now the weather's better, for a drink in the sun. Great spot for a run or just sitting outside and watching the world go by.”

“I've been going to this beautiful park for years. It has a pond, play areas, tennis courts, playing fields for various sports. There are rest rooms and picnic areas. This is a dog friendly park.”

“Close Park is a delightful area of sculpted land and wilderness. The land originally belonged to the Bealey Family who donated it to the public. There's a wonderful children's play area, a sensory garden, a huge field to walk dogs and there's also the ruins of Radcliffe Tower.”

“My daughter started here in September just as she turned two, as a nervous and anxious person I was dreading the transition for the both of us but Nikita made me feel so comfortable and was so compassionate towards the both of us during this time. My daughter now looks forward to her weeks here and tells me how much she misses “kita” during their time apart. All of the staff are wonderful and treat the children with the upmost love and respect. They fill their days with multiple activities that are fun but also educational building essential life skills and confidence in our little ones. Their is a indoor nursery with a home from home environment and the outdoor / garden area is full of activities such as a mud kitchen, bug hotel and camp fire. If your child is slightly feral like mine and a free spirit this is definitely the best place for them! My daughters language and confidence has come on leaps and bounds here and I cannot recommend the nursery enough. Thank you for creating a conscious, beautiful space for our children to blossom. There really is no better place local!”

“Really nice and clean park. A good place to spend time with friends and family. My kids loved it”
