Echoes Nursery
Echoes Nursery is based in a new facility on Charles Street that was officially opened by Mayor Andy Burnham on the 24th September 2019. We are very accessible for parents being opposite a University car park, minutes from Piccadilly Train station and the North and South Campus buildings.
Our modern, imaginatively designed nursery setting offers children the facility to learn through play and exploration. Areas are specifically designed to promote creativity, interaction, role play, water and sand play and quieter reading and relaxing areas. As we are a popular nursery we do not have places immediately available. We advise parents to request a place for your child as soon as possible. Our average waiting time for a place is 6 – 8 months for 2 years plus and 1 year for babies.
We are managed by MiChild Nurseries.
