With modern facilities such as a sensory theatre and outdoor play area, it caters for all ages and even has a soft play area for the young ones. One special feature they have is a fabulous indoor toy town, where kids can let their mind roam free. They cater for us adults too with a social room and refreshments available. This really is a modern day nursery. There are top of the range CCTV cameras so your children are safe at all times. The fact that they have age-specific rooms is what makes this place so unique. And also they have party rooms for birthdays etc. Why not take a look at their brilliant website for more information on what they have to offer you.

Red Lane School is situated on Red Lane in Breightmet. It occupies a large enclosed 'campus' which…read morecomprises of a childcare unit 'Top Tots' a school nursery and infants and then across the playground there is the primary school. Personally I love the old fashioned set-up of the separate Infants and Juniors as I feel it helps the younger children settle in and prevents them from feeling overwhelmed or intimidated by the older children. The 'Top-Tots' accepts children from as young as 6 weeks up until they start Reception class. There are also provisions for breakfast club and after-school care. When your child is at a 'pre-school' age you have the choice of sending them to the school nursery (compulsory 5 half days a week) with the option of having them in the 'wrap-around' sessions of childcare for the other half of the day should you work or else you can do what we did and chose two morning and one afternoon pre-school session in 'wrap-around'. Despite appearing separate the Nursery children and the wrap-around session children do mix and mingle due to a semi- open plan setting. The teaching staff are approachable, caring and professional and it's always reassuring to hear them know all the children by name. However, one problem we encountered through only having three sessions a week is that our son missed out on two activities as although they happened on days he did attend they were organised on days he didn't and nobody thought to tell us which was a bit upsetting and meant he felt left out. When your child is at the age to enter reception class, they will start in one of two classes. however, unlike many other schools in the uk you will find that the children are expected to attend Full Time from day one, which to be brutally honest myself and my husband heavily disagreed with especially as we were led to believe this wouldn't be so. I think there is a world of difference in the emotional maturity of a just turned four year old and a just turned five year old. Unfortunately the school were quite stubborn on their stance and only offered a special two weeks of half days to us alone which left us weighing up the pro's and con's of him being overwhelmed versus him feeling left out. The Classrooms are attractive and full of activities (like a reading area, a craft area, role playing areas etc etc) and each class has a teacher and at least one teaching assistant, often more. They have adopted the Kinder Care learning system over the more widely known Jolly Phonics and so far it has proved very successful offering an all inclusive learning system through songs, games, activities and stories. It's important that children enjoy school and are excited by it, something that the children of Red Lane school all appear to be. The school has several outside play areas sections and zoned off all of which are bright and appealing for the children and stimulate play and activity. The school follows a healthy eating ethos and there is also a 'cafe' daily where for a small fee your child will get a drink and some fruit. I've yet to have experience of the Junior school part of Red Lane but I am confident through visiting the main building and attending an assembly that the school is child centered and produces happy, well adjusted, eager to learn and polite pupils with staff that obviously enjoy their work and are good at it. Every member of staff I have come into contact with has been approachable, polite and friendly as are the pupils. I'm confident that this is a great school and am proud that my child is a pupil there.

The school environment is wonderful with a woodland area, lots of green spaces with flowers and plants, climbing frames and imaginative play areas. I have two children at this school both have excelled my expectations gaining greater depth in subjects and are pushed to achieve rather than left to coast along. The classes my children are in have been incredibly friendly. my daughter was a quiet shy girl when she first started and now she has many many friends and has become an outgoing and friendly 7 year old. This has been supported by the teaching staff who seek to support children with their peer relationships and encourage children to work together and problem solve in groups in class. The after school opportunities are vast and impressive from sporting, arts, gardening, science, crafting, forest school club and also they have their own after and before school club for wrap around care. I would always encourage anyone who asks to go and take a look around and see for themselves what a wonderful school this is.

As a old member of this school, my time spent here was memorable. Not because of the friends I made but because of the education. Their standards are extremely high and they expect only the best from the pupils. They provide support to their pupils in order for them to achieve maximum results. As with the high school, the sixth form is just the same. Although rules are relaxed to allow students to grow into adults; their exam results show how hard every member of the team work. Students are given a helping hand and pushed to strive excellent results to get into university. This is the path I took and whilst it was hard work, I would not be where I am today if it was not for the teachers of this school. I recommend All Saints to all!
