Giraffe

It's interesting when re-visiting restaurants, particularly national chains, seeing if standards have slipped as their expansion has accelerated or my main gripe, have the prices of children's meals gone up now they've enticed the lucrative family market through the door... Read Review
The People's History Museum

This museum might initially seem an unusual choice for the parents of a six year old and two year old to choose to go with aforementioned children, but we did and I urge you to do the same. After a major revamp which saw it re-open in 2011, the PHM houses an... Read Review
Craftelicious

Craftelicious appeared on the Chorlton scene in August 2011 and so far it has been a big hit with locals. We went to check it out one cold, wet January day after school. Housed in a former corner shop in a row of terraced houses on Oswald Road it is a little off the beaten... Read Review

Tai Pan Restaurant

If you’re looking to introduce the kids to Chinese food, then the Tai Pan may well fit the bill. Located in purpose-built premises on Upper Brook Street, free on-site parking makes it very easy and the children will find the supermarket downstairs an interesting contrast to Sainsbury’s.

Upstairs (there is a lift for your pushchair) the restaurant is popular with Chinese families, bearing testament to the excellent food. The waiters aren’t the fr...

Carluccioâ€™s

Going to Carluccio’s for lunch is always a treat – a perfect, delicious escape. The waiting staff fall over themselves to coo at any babies and always seem to have time to engage visiting children.

The kids menu at £6.25 is excellent value, with a good choice of dishes such as breadsticks and a soft drink to start, followed by pasta with different sauces, lasagne or ravioli.

It also offers smaller por- tions of items off t...

Stamford Park

This is a pretty big park, so big in fact that I made a fool of myself and drove through the open wrought iron gates instead of parking on the road outside! The park boasts a small duck pond, large boating lake across the road (which operates seven days a week during the summer), a beautiful conservatory and a lovely wooded area known as The Dingle.

The beds are beautifully kept and the bowling green immaculate, but the park seemed to lack a bit of atmosphere. The aviar...

Early Years Nursery, Didsbury

A much loved and popular Didsbury stalwart, Early Years always comes highly recommended. Education author Janet Morris started the nursery 20 years ago and many of the lovely nursery staff are still by her side. It's a very special place that turns out very happy children.
