Urmston Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Urmston Day Nursery, a family-operated establishment founded by Dr. Nafees Zakir and Dr. Tahmeena Dean, is driven by the philosophy that children flourish in happy, engaged environments. Located in a spacious Victorian mansion in Davyhulme, Urmston, next to Trafford General Hospital, the nursery provides a stimulating, secure, and inviting atmosphere tailored to support every stage of early childhood development, from infants in the Baby Unit to children preparing for school in the Pre-School Room.

Emphasising the significance of outdoor learning and nature-based play, the nursery encourages children to explore, take safe risks, and engage their senses, fostering curiosity and self-regulation. The dedicated team, many with advanced training in areas such as first aid and food safety, ensures personalised care aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, incorporating elements from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Maslow's principles.

Urmston Day Nursery prides itself on its family-focused approach, establishing strong partnerships with parents to ensure continuous support for each child's journey, with updates provided through dedicated nursery software. The facility offers flexible hours from 7 am to 6 pm to accommodate diverse family schedules, striving to create a nurturing space where children feel comfortable, valued, and inspired to discover the world around them.
