Old Crofts Bank Nursery School

About this day nursery

Old Crofts Bank Nursery, located in Urmston, Manchester, provides a nurturing and family-oriented environment for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. The day nursery focuses on high-quality early education and engaging play, aiming to create a 'home from home' atmosphere.

Their facilities include tailored rooms designed to meet the developmental needs of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, with areas adapted to children's current interests. The day nursery places a strong emphasis on interaction and communication with parents, encouraging their involvement in their child's early education.

They facilitate this through daily updates, learning journals, and parents' evenings. Mealtimes are a communal experience, with children enjoying healthy, home-cooked meals in smaller groups and having opportunities to help with serving.

The nursery also offers settling-in sessions to help children adjust to the new environment and assigns a key person to each child to ensure individual needs are met and smooth transitions through different stages of nursery life and preparation for school. They also incorporate extracurricular activities such as yoga, community trips, cookery, and Forest School into their curriculum.
