Early Years SENCO - Sunbeams Nursery

Sunbeams Nursery is a warm and welcoming nursery in Atherton. We are proud to be rated “Good” by Ofsted and care for up to 68 children as part of the MiChild family.

Our nursery has been newly refurbished within the last year. We have three bright play spaces for children aged 0–2, 2–3 and 3–4 years. We also have a sensory exploration room where children can explore, relax and learn in a calm environment.

We have two lovely outdoor garden areas at the back of the nursery. One garden opens directly from the baby room. Our outdoor spaces are used daily for activities such as outdoor yoga, games and imaginative play.

At Sunbeams, we value teamwork and reflective practice. We support each other to learn, grow and develop our skills. As part of MiChild, staff wellbeing and appreciation are important to us, and we enjoy recognising and celebrating our team.

We are conveniently located on Bolton Old Road, just a five-minute walk from the local high street with shops and places to eat. Atherton train station is a ten-minute walk away, and there are several local bus routes nearby, making it easy to travel to work by public transport.
