About Collyhurst Nursery School

Collyhurst Nursery School is one of just two state-funded nursery schools in the Manchester local authority, and both hold the highest possible Ofsted rating. The other is Martenscroft Nursery School & Children's Centre, located 3.5 kilometres away. This means that for families in the city looking for an Outstanding-rated nursery place, the choice is effectively between these two. Collyhurst serves a very small cohort of just 29 children aged from birth to five, and its intake reflects a high level of disadvantage: 58.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for early years settings. The school is led by headteacher Deborah Preece and operates as a mixed-gender, non-denominational state nursery. Its facilities are notably broad for a nursery, including a music room, art studios, a library, a gymnasium, an outdoor playground and even a chapel, alongside clubs such as art club and sports provision in swimming and dance.
