Good★ 4.4 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Hyde for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 August 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 2014, with 103 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 Tameside
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Tameside 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
Leaders have put into place arrangements to ensure children are safe in response to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Children are now dropped off and picked up from the door. Children part well from their parents and happily come into nursery. Children are in 'bubbles' and these are managed well. Staff wear masks as they move around the nursery. Children are encouraged to wash hands regularly to promote good hygiene practices.
Children are happy and confident. They show a real respect for staff and each other. Children show genuine care and concern for their friends if they become upset. Children are very well behaved. They follow instructions well and listen to staff and each other. Staff have high expectations for children. Children are excited and interested in the activities staff plan for them. Older children enjoy following a recipe to make their own play dough. They measure out the ingredients themselves. Staff encourage children to think whether the ingredients are wet or dry and what will happen as they mix them together. Children are enthusiastic and take turns with their friends. Children go on trips to the local community. They enjoy visiting the park, where they can socialise with others and feed the ducks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To meet the requirements of the early years foundation stage, the provider must: ensure training and supervision sessions are effective and staff knowledge and understanding is fully embedded. (by 22/09/2021)
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure staff are modelling the correct use of language to support younger children with their speech development n enhance the curriculum to ensure experiences are consistently arranged and engaging to build on children's knowledge.

- Waiting list
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.
