Bearnecessities Wrap Around Care @ Abraham Moss
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Manchester for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2023. Open since 2015, with 40 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Manchester
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Manchester from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff are kind and caring in this setting. They build affectionate bonds with the children, who thoroughly enjoy attending this welcoming setting. Staff know the children well and are attentive to their needs. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children settle well; they are comfortable and at ease. Children explore the environment with confidence and make choices about their play.
The nursery is highly inclusive and welcomes children from diverse backgrounds.
Staff ensure that resources and displays represent a variety of cultures and communities. Consequently, children develop their understanding of different people and ways of life. Staff find out about children's experiences at home and ensure that these are included in the curriculum. For example, children celebrate religious and cultural events together. This helps all children to value their uniqueness.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of routines and activities, particularly for the older children, to sustain their interests and help them become more highly engaged in their learning n help staff to use their knowledge of each child's targets to plan learning experiences that precisely reflect children's individual development needs.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
