Our son has come on so much since starting, both in confidence and learning. The environment is safe, welcoming, and well organised, and communication with parents is always…

Ever since my one year-old has attended Cherubs since September 2025, she has loved her time there and some of the connections she has made with the staff has been beautiful to see. I am regularly updated with photos on the parent zone website and can see how much she enjoys being there. Her social s…

Staff are great they helped my daughter transition to the next room. She has gone in for few sessions before moving fully which helped her and myself feel comfortable. Communicated each step with myself.

My children have been going here for five months now and I can’t recommend this place enough. the induction sessions were great for letting the babies get used to the people and place, and now they’re in properly, they always keep me in the loop whenever anything happens.

My son started nursery in January 2026. After a difficult start for him since birth and the worries I had about him needing extra support. I didn’t want him to go to nursery, but for his development I needed to let him so I visited Footprints after hearing great things from other people. I was very i…

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Ever since starting nursery, we have seen a massive change in our child. We were apprehensive at first but the taster sessions prior to starting helped us and our child settle. It took a few weeks but it started to become part of his routine. Michelle and t…

Our son has been attending Little Acorns in Atherton since he was 7 months old. I had been worried about leaving him but had to return to work. We visited a number of nurseries as it is such a big deal entrusting your child into the care of someone else but this one just felt right. The staff a…

Our son started at Best Friends a little over a year ago. In all that time, he has been nothing but happy and it’s been a joy to watch him grow.
