Nursery at Abraham Moss Community School
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Stay and play with family members gives a concrete glimpse of nursery life at Abraham Moss: in March 2024, children invited their special female role models to join them for a Mother’s Day session. It brought carers into the children’s activities, making this a shared occasion rather than simply a school celebration.
The nursery belongs to Abraham Moss Community School, an all-through state school in Crumpsall, Manchester, whose entry age starts at three. The school describes inclusion as its ambition for every pupil, with parents and staff working together towards that aim.
School routines form part of the nursery experience. In September 2023, the school described nursery children as becoming accustomed to those routines as they settled into school. That is a useful distinction for families considering a nursery within a larger school: learning to take part in school life sits alongside the children’s activities.
Seasonal occasions offer another glimpse of the day. In December 2023, nursery children joined the primary children in a festive lunch, with music and Christmas crackers. The March 2024 Mother’s Day stay and play brought family participation into the nursery itself. These are dated examples of children sharing an occasion with others, rather than a timetable of regular activities.
Family involvement has a practical point of contact. The primary phase has parent support and an office manager, giving carers routes into the school for conversations about their child. A primary SEND coordinator is also part of the team. Families with concerns about additional needs can begin that conversation through the primary office.
Inclusion is an expressed school aim. Abraham Moss aims to make every part of the school accessible to pupils and visitors with a disability, and to develop staff confidence in tackling bullying linked to prejudice. These are school-wide objectives relevant to families weighing up support and access; they should be understood as aims rather than inspection findings about nursery care.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate application through the normal admissions process and meet the local authority’s deadline. Applications for the school go directly to Manchester City Council, so the nursery application should not be treated as completing that later step.
Keep the two decisions separate: choosing the nursery concerns your child’s early experience, while applying for Reception requires its own action through the council.
The school is on Crescent Road, Crumpsall, Manchester, M8 5UF. Nursery applications can be collected from the school office, and completed forms can be returned by email to primaryoffice@abrahammoss.co.uk. The primary office telephone number is 0161 532 5401. This provides a direct contact for a nursery enquiry or help with the application.
School visits can be arranged through the primary phase. For families planning the journey, the school announced in November 2023 that its car park would be restricted to staff and school visitors. Allow for that restriction when considering how to manage drop-off and collection.
