Day Nurseries Owned by St Bede Childcare in Greater Manchester

My little boy has been attending LR2 since June 2025 and he was 10 months old. He started out in Babies and he's now in Tinies. All the staff are fantastic and you can tell they really care about the children. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds whilst attending this nursery, he's made some lovely relationships with other children and staff. He goes in with a smile and comes out with a smile. They had an app you can download to your phone and at the end of the day you're informed of the meals they've eaten and how much, any sleep and what times their nappy has been changed and what type of nappy it is - and you get observations and pictures throughout the week. There is also options to add notes / home observations. I know I made the best choice in nursery for my boy.

My son has been going to this nursery since he turned 2. He will turn 4 in July and absolutely loves it! I was so nervous when he first started nursery but he settled in so well. All the staff are caring and get to know the children. My son talks about them all the time. They cannot do enough for the child and parent. Their app is amazing and helps you track what your child has done throughout the day as well as what they've eaten. I will be sad when he leaves to go to school as I'm sure he will be. Would recommend to everyone!

He loves going to nursery and is always so excited to see everyone when we say "are we going to see the ladies" he gets so excited! He is so settled there and all the staff are lovely, and you can tell they genuinely care about the children. We can see the positive impact the nursery has had on his development. He has grown in confidence and his speech is coming on wonderfully. Thank you to you all! It’s not an easy job that you do it is one of the hardest..you do a fantastic job! We are lucky to have you all.

My daughter has been attending Little Owls Day Nursery for over two years and, in that time, she has always been very happy and well looked after. She absolutely adores the staff and is always excited to go in each day. I’m really pleased with the range of activities she gets to do, including swimming and dancing, but what makes this place extra special are the extra little touches that make parents and our children feel valued. The management are very friendly, approachable and welcoming and has always accommodated us and our needs. I will be sorry when it is time for us to move on!

Our daughter has been going here for 2 years now, she loves going in every day and can't wait to go back if she has any time off. She has made some great friendships and sees the staff as her friends too!

They do lots of planned activities and spend time each day outdoors as well as plenty of free playing time. Our little one chooses to spend most of hers looking after the dolls in the home bay and the staff get involved in her role play too!

We are given a thorough handover every day and always know what she's eaten. Staff take a genuine interest in her family life and always ask her about her weekends, holidays, siblings etc which also makes it feel like home for her.

Our son has been attending Little Rainbows 2 for eight months in the under-2s room and we couldn't be more pleased. He has absolutely loved going to nursery from his first day and I think it's down to how great the staff are with him. They seem to genuinely care about him, they are always really positive and welcoming. They seem to make sure he has a fun time, but also learn and develop. They have also been flexible with his food requests. We were recommended this nursery by a friend and I can see why. We highly recommend it to other parents. I find it difficult to rate value for money as all nurseries are so expensive, but this one seems to be at a normal rate and they definitely provide value.

In September 2022 my daughter start to attend Little Rainbows 2. From the first day, I realised I made the best choice for my daughter. She is a child with special needs and I received all the support, help and advice from staff regarding her needs. Her accommodation was amazing. Thank you, the Little Rainbows 2 team.

My daughter absolutely loves this nursery! She has been here since being 12 months old as and will stay here until school age. As most parents, I was very careful which care provider I chose for my daughter, especially working over an hour away from the nursery 5 days a week, but she is so confident and has learned so much over the years. The girls from management to the nursery assistants are so interactive with the children and nothing is ever too much, they give the same amount of time and effort to every child. I'm due another baby soon and he will be 100% attending this nursery also, 5 stars from us!!

My little brother has attended this nursery since being 9 months old, he always comes home smiley and excited about how he’s got lots of friends. He has an amazing vocabulary for his age. Going from Nursery to Preschool was a challenge for him as he’s not used to a change in routine or having a change of friends. Staff helped him adjust rapidly and now he loves Little Rainbows 2 Nursery.

My little boy absolutely loves this nursery, he loves his key worker and displays this by the way he smiles when he sees her, he has taken a liking to dinosaurs and they always accommodate this by adding them into playtime, he’s come on so well with his speech and he’s very independent.

Couldn’t recommend any more than this nursery, so amazed with how well my son has come on since starting and how ready he is for school. The staff are so lovely and always full of smiles, such an amazing nursery!

My son has been at Little Rainbows since he was nine months old; he’s now nearly three and is still loving it. All the staff are caring and helpful; it’s such a nice atmosphere. I would highly recommend this nursery if you are in the area.

Since my daughter started here in November 2022 she has come on in leaps and bounds. She started walking a week after starting here. She is so happy and as soon as she knows where she is going she gets all excited and to the point now she goes in and doesn't look back at me. She eats so well here as I was worried as she is a picky eater but now eats so well both at home and nursery now. The nursery staff are amazing and so friendly I have no worries at all about her being here and that was a big worry of mine as I suffer postnatal anxiety. All in all, I am super happy with the nursery, the staff and the food. Makes me feel so much at ease when she's happy to go and is still happy when she leaves. Thank you to all at Little Rainbows 2 Nursery.

This is such a great nursery, my little girl started at nine months old and has loved it from day one. The staff are amazing and always full of energy. They’ve really helped her grow and hit every milestone.

My daughter has attended Little Rainbows 2 Nursery since October 2021, and she absolutely loves it. She enjoys her afternoons at nursery and is happy, which for me is one of the most important things. She has learnt so much and she continues to become more and more confident. I feel happy and confident leaving her with the staff who are very nurturing and create lots of learning opportunities for the children who attend.

The staff are warm and welcoming.

Our son started Little Owls in March and I am so glad we choose there. He is so happy and settled there and that tells us everything we need to know! The staff are lovely and he loves going into them in the morning. Even if he has been feeling a little offside the staff have been lovely with him. The activities they do with the children are very good and we have noticed how this has brought on his development further already! Thank you so much we know he will be very happy here.

My daughter loves going to her preschool, they do lots of activities and the outdoor area is fabulous. She always mentions the staff like they're her best friends and is always excited to go. After organising a personal speech development plan in October she's come on leaps and bounds and is a successful chatter box now!

I cannot recommend Little Owls enough. They are amazing!

I was very nervous at first leaving him at nursery but he settled in well and the log app makes it easy to see what he's done throughout the day.

I would highly recommend little Owls to anyone
