September 27, 2024 at 1:48 amMy kid has been there for just over 2 years, and she absolutely loves it. The team are exceptional and have a excellent bond with the kids. The thought of sending a kid to childcare centre can be really daunting, but they really made me sense at ease. My daughter has really benefited from being there, and I’m glad I chose Paintpots! I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough.

October 10, 2024 at 6:23 amWelcoming 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 kids’s needs. Excellent organisation for quiet time, too. Everything is at their hands. Rooms are great 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 consistently asks: for more. Never had a disappointment. Updates and development assessments are accurate. The different activities planned daily look extremely enjoyable, and we think she is having all the assistance to grow up into an audacious and cheerful little person. We all adore this place, the best place we could have wished for her! 5 stars!

October 11, 2024 at 9:05 amWorking in the city centre, there aren’t many childcare options but I can’t fault the managers for the childcare centre they run. It’s incredible, a real home from home. The construction works haven’t been ideal but now that they’ve almost finished, it’s been worth the effort.
I doubt there will be any more kids, I think 3 is enough but I can’t suggest Paintpots enough and I still pop in with the kids if we’re passing as they have a real bond with the team. My youngest has left for school recently but he is the 3rd kid that has gone through Paint Pots over an 8 year period.

December 9, 2024 at 6:48 pmSo reassuring! Remarkable team, they also organise excellent events for the kids to raise money for equipment for the kids and all are so passionate in their work and responsibilities.

December 14, 2024 at 4:50 pmWe were anxious about leaving him for long periods in the day and the team were very reassuring. The daily diaries including what they had eaten, what activities they had done, and toileting etc were remarkable. As he progressed through the childcare centre rooms we noticed the growing self‑assurance and new skills he was discovering. Our son consistently came home from childcare centre very cheerful with tales to tell of the exciting things he had done in the day. All the team are very approachable, and have a genuine interest in your kid’s well being and life. Steph in particular in the classroom is a remarkable childcare centre teacher. I would highly suggest Paintpots, and we are very sad to leave the Paintpots family! From day one we felt like our son was in a secure setting.

December 17, 2024 at 5:12 amAs a lot of new mums/parents sense, I was nervous about returning to work and leaving my kid in other people’s care, however, it was the best thing I could have done. The childcare centre workers have been absolutely exceptional, my son loves childcare centre, full of smiles with his childcare centre 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 sense connected and makes you sense better when you can see they’ve been enjoying their day and doing lots of activities. Exceptional childcare centre, would 100% suggest. My son recently joined Paintpots, after them coming through via recommendation on a mums group on social media.

December 23, 2024 at 12:18 pmI’ve had all my 3 sons starting here, my first son started back in 2019 he had development issues and has grown in self‑assurance throughout the years whilst there from first steps and talking and making friends with team and kids. I have placed my other 2 sons aged 2 years and 10 months old and they are expressing their personalities and they’re consistently cheerful to be there, the team are lovely and if I have an issue they will resolve it there and then. They have great toys for all ages, the team like to explore different things to encourage my kids and learn new things within their day My first choice was Paintpots as it had great recommendations.

January 30, 2025 at 6:17 pmAlthough the short-term and the fact that I was foreign, the manager accepted to settle my baby. The team were outstanding, super compassionate and very expert. At the end of the period, I and my baby were very sad to leave the childcare centre. We miss this childcare centre that revealed a top-level childcare centre. My baby of 14 months attended Paint Pots childcare centre of Manchester (Charles street) for 1 month.

February 23, 2025 at 4:01 amThe team are incredible with her and all the other kids. The managers and directors will go above and beyond to make sure all parents are cheerful with the service they get at the childcare centre and will sort any problems out straight away if needed. Everyone is so welcoming. Thank you Paintpots for looking after my girl. My little girl loves coming to childcare centre, she is consistently smiling when she comes home.

March 2, 2025 at 3:59 amHaving a SEN kid is difficult to navigate but the team were incredible.
If I have any more kids, they will come back here without a doubt! My little one thrived whilst at this childcare centre!
Kai Turner
March 25, 2025 at 7:34 amHe started in the baby room and is currently in the room for 18-24-month-olds. My husband and I both knew Paintpots was our first choice upon our first visit when we were considering nurseries. There was just a lovely inviting feeling to the place and above all, you could see the kids were cheerful and relaxed. A year on, we could not be more cheerful with our choice. The outside of the building may look a little shabby but its biggest strength is its incredible team. We wanted a place not too big, not too small and Paintpots is just that – there is a real family sense there and everyone says hello. It is absolutely heartwarming to see the close bond my son has with the ladies who look after him. He does a wide range of different activities, has trips out, and he has progressed so much in self‑assurance and ability. I would definitely suggest Paintpots. My son joined Paintpots almost a year ago after his first birthday.

April 27, 2025 at 11:43 pmThe Managers were all outstanding, consistently eager to help and the room leaders and key workers that both my kids had were exceptional. I don’t think we’ll be having any more kids, think 3 is enough :), however, I’d be more than cheerful to suggest Paintpots to anyone looking for a Childcare centre that’s a little bit different than the identikit larger chains, much more personal!! My twins attended Paintpots Manchester Day Childcare centre for 4 years whilst I worked in Manchester.

May 18, 2025 at 7:09 pmEveryone here is so exceptional 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. So cheerful I sent my boy to Paintpots his development has come along incredible!

May 22, 2025 at 11:57 amThey playtime to her strengths whilst giving her the opportunity to learn more. I would absolutely suggest Paintpots Manchester to any parent. My daughter has been at Paintpots Day Childcare centre for over 18 months and she has thrived in her time there.
Arden Irwin
May 31, 2025 at 11:27 pmShe enjoys all of the activities on offer especially the outdoor playtime. We are pleased with the variety of meals on offer and as such she is not a fussy eater at home. Her key workers have played an enormous part in her success with potty training, discovering her colours/letters/numbers and we continue to be amazed at how far she has progressed in the last two years. We will have no qualms in sending our son to Paintpots on my return to work. My daughter started at Paintpots in Feb’14 and has thrived under the care of the team who have been attentive and supportive from day one.

June 23, 2025 at 5:45 pmThe only gripe would be the outside could be a bit bigger, but it’s the City Centre and what can you do!? The use of the Childcare centre minibus helps though and they visited the Science and Industry Museum, Sea Life Centre, Manchester Museum, it was just excellent. The girls are remarkable, I really mean that. We keep in touch regularly via Facebook, that’s how much it means to our family!! My son loved it, he never wanted to leave and we only finished as we moved away and he was ready for school.

June 27, 2025 at 2:53 pmThey accept the kid quickly and no need to wait to start with them. The team are incredible and very close to kids. Diversity of Activities in the childcare centre is excellent for kids’s discovering and development. They have a lot of activities and trips. The childcare centre gives an opportunity for kids to learn through messy and sensory playtime. My daughter enjoys and learns every day. She was very cheerful to join two different trips which were organized by the childcare centre. I am cheerful to keep my daughter in this childcare centre until she starts school. I am really cheerful with this childcare centre.

July 5, 2025 at 7:22 pmMy son has been at Paintpots since his first birthday and is now getting ready to leave for school now he’s four, he has been in all the rooms in the childcare centre and in each room team have been so attentive and committed to his development. I couldn’t ask for more. We also have a daughter who started at six months old and is currently one and a half, she is thriving at Paintpots and adore how open everyone is. Team are consistently there for a helping hand and offering all kinds of assistance. We are sad to say goodbye this year when our son goes to school although glad to still have our daughter here, who we know will grow to be a bright young girl at Paintpots.
Thank you for everything. I adore Paintpots.
