GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Salford for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2025. Open since 1994, with 33 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
Children thrive in this warm and nurturing environment. They arrive at the nursery with enthusiasm and a readiness to learn. Children display positive attitudes and eagerly explore the environment. Staff's interactions are of high quality, fostering strong relationships with children. Children confidently talk about their home experiences, such as recent holidays, and listen respectfully to others. This approach nurtures children's self-esteem and is supported by staff's sound judgement. Children's behaviour is good.
Leaders and staff deliver a well-sequenced and ambitious curriculum that supports children to make strong progress across all areas of learning. They plan activities that reflect children's interests and developmental stages. Staff make effective use of resources to build on what children know and can do. They adapt teaching to meet a wide range of needs, including for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff provide sensitive support to promote inclusion and participation. Accordingly, all children achieve well and develop skills to support the next stage in their learning and, when the time comes, be ready for school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise the impact of noise levels on children's ability to fully engage in their learning n ensure large-group activities are organised to to enable all children to fully participate and benefit from the quality of education available.

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.
