Since opening in 2007, our nursery has been dedicated to offering outstanding childcare in a warm, safe, and engaging environment. Our Higher Blackley nursery’s location near local schools, forests, libraries, parks, and shops allows our children to explore and learn about their local environment from an early age. Regular nursery trips and outings leverage the area’s resources for experiential learning.
Our nursery is situated on one level, with three spacious outdoor areas designed for exploration and fun, one of which boasts a large mud kitchen area in which the children can investigate and explore through sensory play. We provide enhanced provision throughout the nursery, creating rich, stimulating opportunities that support every child’s development. We have good links to public transport which enable us to make the most out of our surrounding areas such as Manchester City Centre, and we are also situated close to Heaton Park, which is one of the largest municipal parks in Europe. We have good links with amenities in our local area, being situated close to a library and community gardens of which we regularly visit as part of our cultural capital. We are also situated in a SureStart centre with excellent links to outreach services.
