    Finding the right nursery in Manchester

    Check inspection ratings

    All nurseries are inspected by Ofsted. Look for “Good” or “Outstanding” ratings as a starting point.

    Understand the costs

    Costs vary by age and hours. Most nurseries accept government-funded hours for eligible children.

    Book visits early

    Popular nurseries often have waiting lists. Start looking 6-12 months before you need a place.
