A Salford-based nursery, primary school and children's centre are flourishing thanks to a commitment to partnership working from staff at all three settings.
The Fledglings nursery is one of a chain of three in the Manchester area and in 2007 it became the core childcare provider for Fiddlers Lane Children's Centre, which is based on the site of a community primary school. Prior to teaming up with the centre, Fledglings, which opened in 2001, was one of Salford's neighbourhood nurseries.
The partnership between the nursery, school and children's centre proved so effective that it was agreed Fledglings would extend its services into two rooms in the adjoining children's centre building, which increased the number of places at Fledglings from 111 to 149.
