We went to view this nursery last month. Easy to arrange a look around, we went for a second visit and this was no problem. Lovely manager and staff, polite, friendly and happy to answer any questions. The nursery is well layed out with good facilities. Feels comfortable and homely for children. Looking forward to registering our child to start here.

We cannot recommend Sky High Achievers Ashton or the staff enough! Communication is excellent with regular updates and a thorough summary at pick up. The staff are all knowledgeable and encourage our son’s personality to shine. They demonstrate care, kindness and patience daily; our son has understandably developed great relationships with his key workers. Would recommend Sky High Achievers Ashton to anyone looking for a safe and caring nursery for their little ones!

My Daughter absolutely loves this nursery she is very quiet at first but they have really brought her out of her shell. She tells me about the wonderful staff and she has made lots of friends when she comes home she plays nursery with her dolls and names them after her friends. The staff are really caring and friendly. They really put everything into making the nursery a fun and nurturing environment. They provide a range of different meals which look really tasty and it must be as she eats it all. I can’t thank them enough I wish I’d have known about this nursery when my son was younger as I would have sent him here too. Definitely recommend.

Lovely nursery and team, treat my children like there own and I love the little bond they have with them my son left sky high to go to school but still asks to go back and see everyone and when they see him he’s still treated like family. They’ve made a great outdoor area for the children with all different activities for them, there always doing something different each day, coming home with pictures. The nursery team are great, there all lovely and welcoming everyday and make an effort to tell you what’s happened with your child through the day.

Such a lovely nursery with fabulous resources and activities designed to teach children new skills, build confidence and encourage them to explore. Both my children have attended since they were under a year old and have developed so much during their time here. Staff genuinely care for children and take time to get to know them all individually, building trusting relationships and helping children feel secure and happy. We feel so lucky to have found this place and for our children to have had the benefit of going here - our eldest is now about to start school and we feel confident he is well prepared and has had a great head start having been to this nursery.
