A day nursery in Manchester for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2024. Open since 2006, 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 Manchester
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Manchester 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
The nurturing managers and staff work hard to create a welcoming and inclusive setting. Parents comment on the 'family feel', and children are eager to race inside.
The curriculum reflects the managers' vision for children to be independent and confident. Children have many opportunities to develop independence during the day. As young children enter the setting, staff help them to think about where their coats and bags belong, and older children change from their outdoor shoes to indoor shoes with proficiency. Children make good progress as they transition through the setting.
Managers know their community well and provide an inclusive environment for all children. They support staff to offer a curriculum that builds on children's learning needs. For example, staff support children who speak English as an additional language by providing narratives as they play. Staff also offer new and descriptive words, such as 'squeeze' and 'mix'. This helps children's vocabulary grow, and they become confident in speaking English. Staff model behaviour well. They speak nicely to children and thank children for passing toys to each other. Children respond well, and their behaviour is good. Staff help children to remain safe. For example, they remind children to pick up toys so they do not fall over them. As a result, children are beginning to consider their own and others' safety.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus targets on children's current abilities, to promote precise and sequenced learning - refine the curriculum planning during group activities to help children remain engaged in their learning.

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.
