The Rises

About this day nursery

The Rises Private Day Nursery, established in 2003, is conveniently located near Shaw town centre, providing easy access for commuting parents from Oldham, Rochdale, and Manchester. The nursery operates with an open-door policy, encouraging parents to discuss their child's needs at any time.

The facility is divided into five groups, with three rooms dedicated to children under two years old, and the first floor accommodating two and three-year-olds. The Baby Room caters to babies with a cosy sleep area and a separate menu for weaning, while the Snowdrops Room is for more mobile older babies, encouraging exploration with various toys and messy play.

The Sunshine Room provides a busy day with craft projects and roleplay, moving children towards toilet training. The Rainbow Room, for two to three-year-olds, focuses on oral hygiene and early learning skills.

The Pre-School Room prepares children for primary school by covering the Early Learning Goals through continuous observations and evaluations, aiming to foster self-confidence, independence, and care towards others. The nursery emphasises learning through play, providing opportunities for exploration, experimentation, and the development of confidence, independence, tolerance, and respect for others' beliefs.
