Premier Daycare
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Oldham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2022. Open since 2015, with 96 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 Oldham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Oldham 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 enter the nursery confidently and happily. They are welcomed by staff and taken to rooms, where they quickly engage in self-chosen activities. Staff play alongside the children, and all children are quite engrossed in their learning.
Babies are happy, confident and inquisitive, and have lovely relationships with members of staff. They talk, play and interact with them as they explore their environment. Babies respond with squeals of delight, as long, silver foil strands tickle their face, enjoying the sensory experience. Babies are supported very well by key people who develop their communication skills. Staff are completely aware of babies needs. Nappy changing time is calm, sensitive and safe.
A range of lovely, healthy food is made on the premises. Children do have an awareness of healthy eating and can name or point to a healthy food picture. At lunchtime, children select independently from a variety of chopped vegetables.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure all staff know exactly what they are intending to teach children in all areas of learning and focus activities.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
