Higher Broughton Children's Centre

About this day nursery

Higher Broughton Nursery, which opened in June 2010, is deeply committed to providing exceptional childcare. The nursery prides itself on an inclusive approach, fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere for Salford families.

They emphasise strong partnerships with parents, carers, and other professionals involved in a child’s well-being, learning, and development. The nursery operates with an open-plan design, segmented into three distinct areas that cater to infants aged 0-2, toddlers aged 2-3, and children aged 3-5.

Each of these dedicated spaces offers direct access to an expansive outdoor play area. Additionally, Higher Broughton Nursery features a sensory room, providing a calming retreat or an energetic outlet for children.

The large outdoor environment is thoughtfully designed to encourage physical development, featuring a substantial sandpit, diverse shrubbery for natural exploration, and a well-equipped mud kitchen for imaginative play. Children can also observe and learn about nature in the meadow wild area.

Situated within the Broughton Community Hub, the nursery benefits from its central Salford location and the array of family support services offered by the Hub. The nursery is dedicated to providing high-quality service, cherishing its community role, and celebrating its inclusive practices and diversity.

The staff team is committed to placing children at the heart of all activities, empowering them to achieve their full potential. They maintain strong connections with local schools to facilitate smooth transitions for children moving on to primary education and value collaborative efforts with professionals, parents, carers, and families.
