Paint Pots Nursery is located in the city centre, just off Oxford Road and is in an ideal location with easy access to the railway network as well as major transport and commuter routes in and out of the city.

Paint Pots Nursery operates from the ground floor of a city centre office building which consists of five age groups split into five different rooms. The baby room has lots of sensory items as the babies begin to explore and discover their senses.

Toddlers, Nursery 1, Nursery 2 and Pre-school 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 of the rooms have access to a dedicated outdoor area as well as smaller indoor play area.

Paintpots Manchester was awarded 'Good' in all areas in its most recent Ofsted report in January 2018.

Paint Pots team consists of a mixture of qualified and experienced staff and up to two 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.

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

Review from Becky W (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2015

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From day one we felt like our son was in a secure environment. We were anxious about leaving him for long periods in the day and the staff were very reassuring. The daily diaries including what they had eaten, what activities they had done, and toileting etc were fantastic. As he progressed through
the nursery rooms we noticed the growing confidence and new skills he was learning. Our son always came home from nursery very happy with tales to tell of the exciting things he had done in the day. All the staff are very approachable, and have a genuine interest in your child's well being and life. Steph in particular in the classroom is a fantastic nursery teacher. I would highly recommend Paintpots, and we are very sad to leave the Paintpots family!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.188)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.188) out of 10 for Paintpots Manchester Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.894 for Paintpots Manchester Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.894

  • b) 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 4.294 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Paintpots Manchester Day Nursery is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.8

    • ii) 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.2 = 0.494

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
