My little boy has been going here since 2023 and is leaving to go to big school in September! The staff here are absolutely amazing, they have helped him massively with his development and he wouldn’t be the confident, clever little boy he is today without their help and support! A massive shout out to Shania who has been nothing but patient, kind, caring and loving towards him throughout his him in preschool! He is going to miss her so much! I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking to put their child into a setting!

The team at Hopwood Nursery is amazing. They’re not only super professional but also incredibly warm and caring. My son has grown so much, both socially and emotionally, thanks to the wonderful care and attention he gets every day. One thing I really appreciate is how well the nursery communicates with parents. I always know what’s going on with regular updates and newsletters, and the staff is always available to chat about any questions or concerns I might have. 💯 recommend it ❤️

My son has been attending this Nursery since 2021, he's now just graduated pre-school and I couldn't recommend them enough. He's had a great time, all the staff are so patient and kind with him but also are so child-centred, they know what he likes and what interests him, which makes his days even more enjoyable. I also love that the staff always speak to me about his day and have good communication with the families. So thank you to all the team at the nursery for all your hardwork & compassion with our children 😊

My 2 y/o started this nursery 3 months ago and she has developed rapidly in such a short space of time. Her vocabulary has expanded, she has made friends and is genuinely excited to see her nursery family each week. The manager Zsadina has gone above and beyond to make us all feel at ease, and always makes herself available. A big thank you to all the staff for their hard work and kindness. We see you, and appreciate you! Parents, if you need to send your child to a nursery in Heywood, look no further. Your child will be made to feel like family, not just a bum on a seat!
