Paintpots Newall Green Day Nursery is located in Newall Green, Wythenshawe and is in an ideal location with easy access to major transport and commuter routes both into Manchester and its also very close to Manchester Airport.

Paintpots Nursery operates from a purpose-built nursery building which consists of three age groups split into three different sections. The under two's space has lots of sensory items as the babies begin to explore and discover their senses. They have their own separate sleep space. Toddler and Preschool rooms have different areas such as sand and water, construction, art, home corner, role play and dressing up, physical ramp, music area, maths and more! All rooms have direct access to a dedicated outdoor area as well as smaller areas that can be divided to be more age specific. The nursery has its own onsite sensory room.

They achieved 'Good' on the recent OFSTED inspection in August 2023.

Paintpots team consists of a mixture of qualified and experienced staff and up to three modern apprentices, all enthusiastic and motivated with every child’s best interests at heart. Experienced staff set a great example for the apprentices who are eager to learn and develop further. All staff have a detailed understanding of the EYFS and carefully observe and plan activities for all children to continuously learn and develop through play based activities. All staff are first-aid trained.

To ensure best practice the team has regular staff meetings and use parent questionnaires and meetings with professionals to ensure 'best practice' as well as being able to call upon the support network of the other Paintpots settings.

Review from Lisa B (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended this nursery from being six months old, they are now 8 and 4. They currently attend the holiday club and love it. The staff are friendly, polite and approachable. The manager is very professional and is approachable and there to discuss any query’s also, both the owners
have been brilliant over the years. My eldest has additional needs, and they respond to him in a caring and understanding manner and have made every adjustment to cater to his needs and what makes him feel comfortable. I honestly couldn’t rate this nursery highly enough. It’s why I’ve been using them for the last 8 years!

Thanks, Lisa, as one of our first Paintpots parents ever, it's lovely to see you still regularly with both children.

My son has now left for school, however, he enjoyed his two and a half years at Paintpots immensely and I would recommend them to any local parent. We have another on the way now, and no doubt will be using Paintpots again.

Review from Leon B (Father of Child) published on 28 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery has grown from a few children and staff to nearly fully staffed and occupied. Preschool has a fully qualified teacher who is lovely and very experienced. The teacher and nursery have made extra efforts to care for our autistic child and have provided additional resources and training for
staff at no extra cost to us. Authority rating and all staff are either level 2/3 NVQ trained. Simply brilliant.

Review from K B (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Paintpots nursery made my little boys transition into nursery life a very pleasant one, I was always apprehensive with regards to leaving him somewhere new as I work 5 days a week, however, the nursery nurse and her team are extremely friendly, caring and clearly passionate about their job,
making my little boy feel secure from day one. One month on and my little one is so happy when I drop him off at nursery and full of smiles when I collect him, the detailed daily sheet tells me everything I need to know and there's always a team member from his room ready to greet me with information on his day. Daily walks and trips to the park, farm, zoo also make this nursery a brilliant choice for any child.
I find their online learning journals 'Tapestry' a great way for me to keep track of my child's progress, I often log on to it at work and check out any new observations and pictures that have been added.
I opted for Paintpots nursery purely on the feeling I had on my show around as well as the friendly staff and facilities i.e. separate sleeping room, individual outdoor play areas and a dining room.
I also discovered that most nurseries charge an extra for food for the day, on top of theire daily rate, however, Paintpots don't do this.
Overall I would highly recommend Paintpots nursery to any parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Paintpots Newall Green is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.987 for Paintpots Newall Green is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.987
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.929 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Paintpots Newall Green is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 number of registered child places is 14. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.929
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
