Really happy with this nursery. The staff are so kind and welcoming, and it's clear they genuinely care about the kids. The place feels safe, friendly and full of fun activities that keep the little ones excited to go in each day. Communication is great too - I always feel up to date and involved. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

We're very happy with Paint Pots Nursery. The staff are the star: young, energetic, experienced and truly sensitive. Communication is excellent-everything is logged on the app with photos and quick updates. Activities are varied and fun: visiting dance teacher, baking, water/fruit play, fake animals, stories and pictures. Children go outdoors very often and there are occasional trips; the outside area isn't huge nor green, but it's used well. Food used to include processed items (e.g., spaghetti hoops) and be a bit salty/sugary; since new guidelines the menu is clearly healthier, with no added sugar. Overall, a warm, caring setting where our child arrives and leaves happy and enthusiastic. The team are sweet, attentive and collaborative-we couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended.

We absolutely love this nursery! My daughter Ekaterina goes here and she is always so happy and excited to attend every day. The staff are kind, caring, and truly dedicated to the children's well-being and development. It's wonderful to see Ekaterina enjoying her time, making friends, and learning so many new things. We feel confident and grateful knowing she is in such a safe and nurturing environment. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child can thrive!

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was seven months old. She has gone through all the classes and has always had a wonderful time. She has had many opportunities to grow and shine. I am so happy with the nursery-they have gone above and beyond.

We have been taking our child to Paintpots for a year now, since they were a baby and we cannot be happier. The teachers are amazing, very attentive, caring and kind. The nursery has gone through an upgrade of the rooms and they are clean, spacious and have many toys, in general they are well equipped. The nursery has an outside space which is big enough for play and allow fresh air. What I love most about this nursery is how loving, nurturing, educational and safe is, as well as all the activities that they offer to the children. When I leave my child I know they are safe and happy, I cannot recommend enough this nursery!

We feel so lucky to have found PaintPots! Our little one absolutely loves going in, and it's such a comfort to know he's so happy and settled there. The staff are caring, attentive, and create a truly nurturing environment. The activities are fun, creative, and engaging, and we love getting regular updates and photos of his day. We couldn't ask for a better place - Paint Pots is simply wonderful!

My son has been attending Paintpots Manchester Day Nursery since he was 1 year old. He's 3 now and he absolutely loves it. The staff are lovely and caring. He's very attached to all of them, and they're always happy to help and listen to parents whenever they have any concerns. Five stars are not enough!

My daughter has been at Paintpots Manchester for 10 months now and she loves it, which means we love it too. She is very happy on drop off and pick up and I have observed her seeking comfort from staff who support her in a caring and genuinely sweet way. The staff all know her by name, even those who aren't working in her room. We have asked her to have a no sugar and low salt diet and the nursery have facilitated this. They have taken the children on field trips which she has enjoyed and she can recall the names of all her close workers and children in the room, which tells me she likes spending time with them. As a city centre nursery, the outdoor space is limited but they do the best with what's available and it's great to know they go outdoors everyday at least once. Thank you to all the staff for making my child feel safe and happy

My son has been at Paintpots nursery for nearly a year now and they've been great. He loves going, loves the staff, they do lots of different activities with them daily which is fab. I feel regularly updated, which I love - when comparing with friends who have children at other nursery's I think the communication is some of the best. No complaints and very happy we chose Paintpots.
22 September 2025
An absolute joy to send my son to this nursery, the staff are attentive and he has come on on leaps and bounds since he first joined nearly two years ago. We have daily updates on his activities/meals/sleep etc, as well as in-depth reports on his development every term. The staff clearly care so much for the children, there's never been a safeguarding issue or anything negative to report. Would wholly recommend to anyone that I know.

I see that my daughter is happy attending the nursery. I feel reassured placing my daughter at Paint Pots nursery because I know that she's safe. Indeed, the staff are very attentive and take really good care of the children. I would prefer the nursery to have a waiting room, especially during wintertime, which is essential.
22 September 2025
This is the second year I have brought my daughter to this nursery because I was very happy with the choice I made last year. They are very kind to children. I recommend this nursery to anyone who searches a lot for a good choice like me. Thank you to all the good members of the Paint Pot team.

The preschool teachers treated my child as if he was their own, and he loved going there every day. On his last day, he even said he would come back to visit again, which shows how happy he felt at nursery. It was very emotional on both sides, and I could see how much he meant to the staff. What touched me most is that not only his own teachers, but also staff and teachers from other rooms, took part in his journey and always remembered his name. The nursery offers a wide variety of activities indoors and outdoors, some of which I had never experienced with my child before - it even inspired me to try some of them again together. I'm very grateful for the love, care, and support given to my child, and we will always remember the nursery with warm feelings.

My little girl has been admitted when she was 11 months old. We love the staff and management and my little one really enjoys there. Initially, we were a bit reluctant sending a small kid to nursery but the staff were really caring, friendly and supportive. She enjoys the food provided there. Really happy that I chose Paintpots for my little one and I would definitely recommend Paintpots.
15 October 2024
The staff are very nice and my son has improved since he joined. It is a very good nursery. I wish the nursery's outside door and the main door could be a slide or automatic doors and I wish they had a waiting room.

All 3 of our children have attended PaintPots Nursery. They have been in all the different classes. We love the staff and management at the Nursery, the kids all loved coming to the Nursery and settled in well, due to the patience of the staff. The staff and management are caring, friendly, compassionate, loving and communicate well. Since 2020 to 2024 April our children have attended the nursery. I am not someone who writes reviews but felt the Nursery was deserving of one. 10/10.

So happy I sent my boy to Paintpots his development has come along amazing! Everyone here is so brilliant and supportive, he has been at Paintpots since he was 5 months old he is now two years old and in the toddler room! I will never regret my choice in picking Paintpots for my son's childcare.
17 July 2023
My first choice was Paintpots as it had good recommendations. I've had all my 3 sons starting here, my first son started back in 2019 he had development issues and has grown in confidence throughout the years whilst there from first steps and talking and making friends with staff and children. I have placed my other 2 sons aged 2 years and 10 months old and they are expressing their personalities and they're always happy to be there, the staff are lovely and if I have an issue they will resolve it there and then. They have good toys for all ages, the staff like to explore different things to encourage my children and learn new things within their day

5 stars! Friendly people, cosy and family atmosphere. Our daughter started when she was 9 months old, and now she is 2! Since the first impressions, chatting with the nurses, we had felt confident about the place. All the classrooms, the outside garden, toys, furniture, and spaces are just thought and organized around children's needs. Great organisation for quiet time, too. Everything is at their hands. Rooms are good size and never too packed. Food is nutritious and home-made, she has been eating on her own since she was 12 months and that definitely is 'Paintpots' merit; she was a bit fussy at first and now she always asks: for more. Never had a disappointment. Communication and development assessments are accurate. The different activities planned daily look extremely fun, and we think she is having all the support to grow up into an audacious and happy little person. We all love this place, the best place we could have wished for her!

My son recently joined Paintpots, after them coming through via recommendation on a mums group on social media. As a lot of new mums/parents feel, I was nervous about returning to work and leaving my child in other people's care, however, it was the best thing I could have done. The nursery workers have been absolutely brilliant, my son loves nursery, full of smiles with his nursery worker and I can tell he’s come along way with his development milestones since joining too. I also like the daily updates I receive on their app, helps to feel connected and makes you feel better when you can see they’ve been enjoying their day and doing lots of activities. Brilliant nursery, would 100% recommend.
