About this day nursery
The Stables Day Nursery Swinton provides care for children from birth to four years old. Located in Manchester, it operates from Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 6pm, all year round. In June 2023, Ofsted carried out an inspection and rated the day nursery 'Good'. The report noted that children enter the nursery happily and engage in learning with confidence. It also stated that the leadership team has designed a well-sequenced curriculum which helps children build on their knowledge and make good progress.
According to the inspector, children form secure attachments to staff who know them well. Staff model language effectively, and children enjoy stories read to them. For children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, staff work with parents to seek early help when needed. All age groups have daily access to an outdoor space, and as part of a trial based on research, some children sleep outdoors in the fresh air.

The nursery provides a safe, supportive, and well-structured environment. Staff are professional and caring, and communication with parents is excellent. I am very satisfied with the care my son receives. I’ve noticed such a positive change in his confidence and social skills since he started. Highly recommend!

The best nursery I could have ever asked for for my baby. He comes home everyday so happy and content. The staff are so lovely and are so informative. And the app is full of updates and pictures. Couldn’t recommend this nursery and the fabulous staff enough. Thanks for everything you do for my son

So happy with the nursery, my little boy was at his old setting a year and never settled as well as he has here. He talks about nursery all the time at home and says how he loves the staff. He’s always happy to go in even if he’s been off a couple of weeks for school holidays. So thank you 😊
