About this day nursery
Boothstown Playgroup operates as part of Salford Community Leisure, providing early years education and care.

The broader Salford Community Leisure initiative aims to foster active, healthy, and culturally rich lives for Salford residents, suggesting the playgroup is integrated into a wider network of community support and resources.
