About Us

Here at Dryden Street Nursery we offer quality Childcare and Early Education for children from 12 weeks – 5 years of age. Our nursery predominantly caters for staff and students of the University of Manchester, though our location near Oxford Road, convenient public transport links and the motorway network also makes us a great choice for families working a little further afield. Find us here.

Playrooms within our nursery are generously proportioned, carefully planned and extensively resourced to create inspiring learning environments in which children can grow and learn with confidence. We pride ourselves on offering children a wide range of activities and all of our children have access to outdoor play areas offering the opportunity for regular outdoor learning experiences across all areas of the curriculum.

Our nursery has been an established and respected Centre for Early Year’s Care for over a decade and has developed a strong reputation for delivering quality and meeting the needs of individual children and their families.
