Tashbar Creche
GoodBirth to 5Long established
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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2023. Open since 2012, with 30 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 run to greet their friends and the staff as they arrive at this positive setting. They settle quickly and confidently access the resources that are available to them. Staff know children well and use personalised approaches to ensure that all children feel safe and secure as they arrive at the setting. Children are happy and have built loving bonds with the caring staff.
Children's personal, social and emotional development is prioritised at this setting.
Staff model respectful relationships to children and teach them how to interact positively with each other. Children notice when their friends have sticky hands and offer them a tissue. They understand the embedded expectations and routines and follow these independently. For example, children help to tidy up toys without being asked to by staff. Children behave well and are beginning to understand the impact of their behaviour on others.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop their understanding of the sequencing of children's learning, so that their teaching consistently builds on children's knowledge and skills n strengthen staff training and professional development opportunities, to focus more precisely on raising the quality of teaching to the highest level.

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.
