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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Outstanding by Ofsted in August 2023. Open since 2015, with 78 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 flourish in an inspirational environment that connects them with the natural world. Children relish the opportunities to take part in daily visits to the forest and develop excellent personal, social and emotional skills. Children build strong emotional attachments to staff and behave exceptionally well. They learn to manage their feelings and emotions and treat one another with kindness.
Staff have a superb knowledge of children's individual interests and developmental needs. They thoughtfully support new babies to settle in. For instance, staff create individual 'family' books that are filled with photos of special people to share with babies to reassure them. One-year-old children learn to care for living creatures, such as the nursery pet rabbits. They stand and peep through a hole in the fence and are fascinated as they observe the nursery chickens laying eggs in their coop.
Two-year-old children are mesmerised when they meet the local mayoress. They keenly examine her ornate jewellery and elegant gown, and they learn about the different job roles people in the community have. Staff give three-year-old children excellent opportunities to deepen and broaden their learning. For instance, children are excited to gather eggs that the nursery chickens lay. They very carefully place them on a tray and learn how to cook them, such as making scrambled eggs or omelettes. The manager and staff place children at the heart of everything they do.

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.
