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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2023. Open since 2015, with 75 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
There is a happy atmosphere across the nursery. Rooms are inviting, and staff greet children, parents and visitors with a warm welcome. The environment is calm and well planned. Children of all ages engage in interesting activities and resources. Babies explore bubble wrap and paint. They poke and squeeze it with their fingers as they make sense of the world around them.
Staff build on children's learning. Their skills are utilised to offer children unique experiences. Children listen intently as a violin is played to them and they try to guess what the tune is. They revisit previous learning as they talk about the instrument and its key features. Children sing songs that they have learned in
Cantonese. They extend their knowledge by wishing their friend a happy birthday.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further embed the high-quality teaching and learning to ensure that there is consistency across all aspects of the nursery.

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.
