Day Nurseries Owned by Elmscot Group in Greater Manchester

Thank you so much for looking after Anika over the last 2.5 years. You have all been such a special part of her early years, and we're truly grateful for all the love, care and kindness you've shown her.

She still misses you all and keeps talking about you, saying all your names. It really means so much to us knowing she was so happy and cared for with you.

She is settling really well into school, which makes us so happy and proud. We're sure all the confidence and lovely memories she has built over the last 2.5 years with you have helped her make this new start so positively.

We will always remember the wonderful memories you've helped create for her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We've had a wonderful experience at Woodlands Day Nursery with both of our children spanning over almost 6 years! Even though my eldest had left just before our youngest started, the staff still spend time to have a conversation with her and ask how school is.

It gave us great reassurance that our youngest came home happy talking about their day, saying they liked nursery and missed it.

The staff have provided excellent care and supported both of our children's development.

I loved that our youngest had a great bond with a number of his carers and had made good friends with his peers.

We'll definitely miss Woodlands!

My little boy has been at Woodlands for 2.5 years and it has been absolutely fantastic. All the staff are kind, approachable, very professional and nothing short of amazing. From the beginning, I felt confident he would be safe and happy there and he most certainly has been. I cannot give enough praise for this nursery and would thoroughly recommend it to any parent. It also has a lovely outdoor space, very spacious, safe, and lots of things to play on. My little boy has also enjoyed their forest school when they take them to the woods once a week and look at nature, play games and have a hot chocolate. I have always liked that they take them out on engaging activities like this. I only wish my older boy had attended here too!

My son has been at Woodlands for over 2 and 1/2 years and he has loved every bit of it. The staff are very friendly and supportive. They are always doing lots of different activities which all help with the children's development. My son really enjoyed forest school and the various trips out they did, including the airport!

From day one felt confident in the staff and always felt my child was safe and well looked after. They listen and are very caring towards my child and clearly want the best for them. Every room has been excellent, well led and very responsive to any needs. The food is excellent and the activities they do are varied both in The nursery and out on trips. My daughter has loved it, the management know all the children and families well and overall it genuinely felt like dropping her off at a home from home.

I will miss coming here having been bringing one or two children here over past six years.

Broussa has been a delight for our second child. He is happy, stimulated and I am thrilled we chose Broussa. He does activities throughout the year that continue to excite him and the staff are always thinking about how the interests of the children relate to what they are doing.

An amazing nursery, with caring, supportive, excellent key workers who give everything to the kids. Time, energy, patience and focus. Our children are thriving at this nursery and they love it. Never an issue being dropped off and we know they're treated with great care, respect as little humans and attention.

My twin sons have been attending Hale Day Nursery since June 2025 and we have had such a positive experience. The grounds of the nursery have been recently renovated and provide a lovely environment for children to explore and thrive. The staff are so caring and as a twin mum I was anxious about negotiating drop off and pick up particularly before my sons were able to walk, Rhia has always been so understanding and helpful with this which is something I have appreciated so much. Updates from the nursery are provided regularly throughout the day and I love receiving the photos showing what my sons have been doing each day. I would highly recommend Hale Day and am so thankful how they have made the transition to starting nursery so smooth.

Lovely nursery, all the staff are very kind and my little girl has flourished compared to the last nursery she attended her language has developed so much and the staff are always doing activities getting all the children involved.

I couldn't recommend them enough.

Emma and Annette are both managers I believe and are both fabulous and have made me feel nothing but secure and confident in my decision to send my child to Broussa. They lead with passion and the upmost care and it is greatly appreciated!!!

We're so grateful for the amazing care Elmscot Nursery gives our daughter. The staff are kind, attentive, and truly dedicated. Since starting, she's grown in confidence and is thriving in every aspect of her development. She comes home excited about what she's learned, and it's clear how much thought and love go into everything the team does. Thank you, Elmscot, for helping her shine!

Everyone has been so attentive and accommodating to our child's needs during the settling sessions. As parents, we are assured that our child gets well looked after at Hale Day. Really appreciate it.

It is the 4th week for our daughter in Willow Tree. We are very happy. She is still settling but staff is amazing. Always very positive, engage with children. Classrooms bright with lovely toys and trays related to topic. Very good communication between staff and us - parents. Greeting our daughter with smile and compassion.

Willow Tree Nursery has been fantastic for our two boys. From day one, the staff have been warm, caring, and genuinely invested in their happiness and development. It's such a nurturing environment, and we've seen both of them grow in confidence and independence.

The balance between learning and play is perfect-every day is engaging and full of new experiences. We love being able to see their adventures through the app-it's great to stay connected and watch them thrive.

Willow Tree has given our boys the best possible start, and we're so grateful to the incredible staff. If you're looking for a nursery where your child will be happy, nurtured, and thrive, we highly recommend it!

As many parents are, we were nervous about our child attending nursery for the first time, especially considering they were very shy and were often visibly uncomfortable being around people they didn't know. After just a few weeks, they had built a great relationship with their key worker and now 6 months later they walk around the house saying their key workers name and dragging around their nursery bag wanting to go. All of the staff are very friendly and our child has clearly developed well in all areas, but especially socially. They absolutely love going to nursery and get excited every time. The nursery have also been great in catering for our child's dietary requirements. The facilities and location are great, with lots of outside space and they're always taking part in a range of activities that appear both engaging and educational. I would highly recommend Hale Day Nursery to anyone seeking attentive, professional and stress-free childcare.

Our son loves nursery so much. We are always so impressed with all the activities and outings that are available for the children. They have such fantastic variety and even the garden set up is such a plus as a lot of nurseries don't have that much outdoor space!

The staff at Hale Day Nursery have been incredibly accommodating of our son and the many questions we've had during his first months at the nursery. He has struggled at times with not wanting to leave parents for the day but the staff have been great at building up his confidence in spending the day away from home. Regular updates help to give an insight into the trips and activities they all get up to.

My daughter adores the team at Hale Day Nursery and talks about her key worker on the days she isn't there! She settled in so quickly and happily naps there. She's always cheerful at drop off and excited to go. The food is also amazing - so fresh, balanced and healthy!
