What’s On: Babies and Toddlers in Manchester

With the school summer holidays over and children back to school, we’ve put together a list of places to go with babies and toddlers in Manchester. With 43 nurseries in our Kids Planet family (and 11 of those in and around the Manchester area) including our newest nursery opening in Worsley this month, here’s some of our favourites we hope will keep parents and babies happy!

Museum of Science and Industry
With a buggy park next to the main entrance the museum brings science and history to life with interactive shows, fun-filled machinery demonstrations and of course, a bit of good old-fashioned dressing up.
There’s a soft play area in the Experiment gallery for young builders and demolishers with bright blocks ready to be stacked, climbed and toppled – perfect for mini architects and engineers. Plus, there’s a quiet, sensory space in the Textiles Gallery with touch- feel wall panels, Treasure baskets and comfy mats.
