Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery

The brighter your child's beginning, the brighter their future.
Nurseries in Manchester and Oldham

Brighter Beginnings is a family-run company. We have been operating in the childcare field for 30 years. From our first nursery which opened in 1991 we have grown to 9 high quality nursery settings offering full day care, education and After School Clubs across North and South Manchester and Oldham.

We are one of Greater Manchester’s highest quality providers. This is shown by our consistent Ofsted Good and Outstanding inspection outcomes.

Alongside our nurseries we also run a vibrant training academy specialising in early years apprenticeships training our own workforce and those of partner employers on a range of course both face to face and online.

Our Opening Hours:
7.30am - 6.00pm Monday to Friday*
These times can include an early or late drop off or pickup.
* Apart from our term-time-only settings which open from 9am - 4pm during the term only.
Brighter Beginnings offers a full range of different health and safety training from paediatric first-aid to workplace courses. We can offer specialised or bespoke packages online or face-to-face depending on your organisation's needs. From 2018 all nursery staff in settings offering full day care are required to be fully trained in first-aid. As this is now a requirement we are working with providers accross Greater Manchester to ensure they are compliant. 
Brighter Beginnings is our nursery group where we provide flexible, high quality full day care from birth to 5 years for working parents along with free entitlement sessions for 2, 3 and 4 year-olds. We have many Ofsted Outstanding settings across Manchester and Oldham. Ofsted consistently report that all our children make excellent progress in playrooms where "children's laughter fills the air" (Ofsted 2019)

Brighter Beginnings Early Years Training is our training academy. We specialise in early year’s apprenticeships and online training. We work with a variety of employers as well as training staff for our own settings. Our training team are all from early years backgrounds so nursery employers can be sure we understand the skills they need for their workforce throughout the apprenticeship training and finally when the young person qualifies.
