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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2024. Open since 2016, with 22 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 are safe and happy at the setting. It is based on a school site and provides care for children whose parents work at the school. It forms a key part of the local community. The staff build close relationships with families, which helps them to develop strong bonds with children. Children are comfortable and settled. Staff offer cuddles and soothing words to help children transition into the setting. Older children chat freely with staff and feel confident asking for help when needed.
The long-standing staff team works well together to deliver cohesive care for children. Each staff member knows every child well. Babies and toddlers form secure attachments, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Children generally behave well and respond positively to staff.
Staff regularly take children out of the setting to explore cultural activities and nature. Children develop their skills through creative activities. For example, staff help children to create an obstacle course. Children show camaraderie as they move through it, developing their physical skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children to understand their emotions and how their actions can affect others.

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.
