Early Years Excellence in Manchester with Bright Horizons Nursery

Situated in the heart of Manchester, close to Oxford Road train station, Bright Horizons Manchester Day Nursery and Preschool provides exceptional care and education to children aged 3 months to 5 years. Our curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists, ensures that your child will have the best start to their schooling life, through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum designed by our own

Our nursery has four age-specific rooms, each equipped with toys for optimal growth and learning. Each rooms include a dedicated space focusing on care, personal, social, and emotional development. The atrium, adjacent to the reception area, hosts a charming reading area and lending library. Home learning bags, containing season-specific or parent-recommended activities, are available in the atrium to support families. For instance, we create bags with potty training information in response to parents' requests and supporting partnership and communication between nursery and home. This room can also be used by parents for breastfeeding.

From our cosy baby room catering to infants from 3 months old, to our toddler rooms, we provide a supportive environment for each stage, with one room featuring its own nappy and toilet area to support toilet training.

The younger toddlers enjoy a cosy environment with a milk kitchen, nappy area, their own outdoor space, and a specialised area for physical development.

Older toddlers explore a dedicated room with activities preparing them for the preschool room. Taught by our qualified preschool teacher, they will engage in our Ready for School Programme, which helps build their confidence ready for their next big adventure

Each classroom has its own garden space, ensuring all children have access to age-appropriate activities and resources. Older children enjoy freeflow access to the garden from their classrooms. And while your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us.
