Most of our parents are working parents and the hours and the types of places we offer reflect their need. Many working parents are attracted to the nursery because of it's links with the school and it's strong educational bias, often moving from other childcare providers when they feel their children are ready to be doing a little bit more. Parents with a baby often start directly with us, not only for the thoroughly professional childcare service we provide but they can see that the place will grow with their child's increasing educational needs without further need to move them. Other parents, perhaps not working, use the nursery for a good pre-school experience prior to perhaps going to a local authority nursery school. Outside parents who want their children to attend the Prep School usually start their child in the nursery school first because it will guarantee them the offer of a Prep School place and help to bring the child up to the level of the children already here. Children attend the nursery for different reasons - they are from a wide geographic area and a wide range of different backgrounds. Usually they do have one thing in common - they value the emphasis that the nursery places on a strong educational content backed by the school.

place is usually used by full time working parents and gives you
complete use of the nursery whenever it is open. This is the most
popular type of place.

dates for 37 weeks of the year. The term dates in general follow
the Salford schools term dates. This place often suits parents who
teach or work in education.
DAY PLACE
Full opening hours on the chosen day for all weeks of the year -
lunch included. Several different days may be combined, subject

part time working parents or parents who maybe don't both work
