Didsbury Day Nursery and Preschool

"I love this nursery. The staff are amazing and patient! I can't recommend this nursery enough! My son's speech has come along so great and he plays well with other children because staff are very encouraging of his development as well as engaging in group activity."

Our Outstanding Nursery in Didsbury has been recently Refurbished for 2025

You and your child will love our Ofsted 'Outstanding' nursery and preschool in Didsbury, which provides the best care and education for children from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

Beautiful Refurbished Rooms

Your little one will love spending their days in our recently refurbished nursery, where every room is bright, spacious, and designed specifically for each age group's educational and developmental needs.

In our baby room, we'll follow your child's home routine as closely as possible, to ensure they feel comfortable with us. Our baby room has its own outdoor space, and we also take them out and about in the local area to help them relax in varied environments.

Our toddler room has been designed to encourage your child's independence. Activities are planned around your little one's personal interests and toddlers benefit from freeflow access to the garden.

Preschoolers love their room and, supported by our qualified preschool teacher, will build confidence to start school. Taking part in our Ready for School Programme will help them learn the essential skills for them to take their next steps.

A Bright Beginning for Every Child

Your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our Early Years specialists.

Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress and whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

Children also enjoy Boogie Mites music sessions where they can learn about the world through music and song.

You can stay updated with your child's day through our Bright Horizons Family app.

Additional Rooms for an Enriched Experience

Mini Monets love spending time in our dedicated art studio, where they'll spend time exploring arts and crafts and creating their own masterpieces.

We also offer Spanish lessons and yoga sessions to enhance your child's learning experience.

Fun Outdoors

Our garden is an exciting place to make new discoveries. With all-weather astroturf, this fun and stimulating space features a wealth of resources and activities to keep young minds engaged. From a fully stocked mud kitchen to a busy construction zone, trikes and bikes, there's so much to explore.

Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.
