Good★ 4.3 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Manchester for children from birth to 8+, open 07:45 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2023. Open since 2007, 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 Salford
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Salford 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 highly skilled and provide innovative ways to help children learn. For example, they encourage children to use their big muscles as they scoop up autumn leaves from the floor. With a little support from staff, children place the leaves onto a camouflage net that is hooked on a tree. Children demonstrate lots of critical thinking as they decide what to do next. They work together to push the net upwards, which causes a flurry of autumn leaves sprinkling to the floor. This helps children to make connections with the changing seasons. Children are also beginning to learn how working with their friends can help them to achieve a goal.
Staff give children lots of opportunities to practise and repeat this new learning, which helps them to gain lots of new skills. Children genuinely enjoy each other's company and play very well together.
Leaders, managers and staff radiate warmth towards children, which promotes children's personal development and helps them to feel secure. As children arrive, staff greet them with a big smile and kind words. As a result, children bound into the nursery and babies reach out to staff with their arms open wide. The whole staff team has created a stimulating and nurturing environment, where children feel safe and eager to learn.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide a more sequenced curriculum that builds on what children know and can do n improve the curriculum and support for children, to help them be fully prepared for their transition to school.

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.
