Genesis Milnrow

23 Clifton Street, Milnrow Rochdale, OL16 4HP

A friendly nursery community where individual care and personalised early learning help every child reach their unique potential.

Welcome to Genesis Milnrow

Welcome to our 1st Safari – Genesis Milnrow site! Our nursery offers a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. Set within a friendly residential area, the nursery benefits from excellent links to local tram stops, offering quick, reliable connections to Rochdale, Oldham, and Manchester. Regular bus routes run nearby too, and the surrounding main roads make drop-offs and pick-ups smooth and stress-free. Inside our calm, thoughtfully designed rooms, children enjoy a rich variety of play experiences that support communication, independence, creativity, and early problem-solving. Our dedicated team takes time to understand each child as an individual, nurturing their confidence and independence every day. Outdoor play is an important part of our day. Our secure outdoor area gives children space to run, climb, explore, and enjoy fresh air in all seasons. We offer a mix of physical challenges, sensory experiences, and nature-based activities that help children build confidence, resilience, and a love of the outdoors. Children have the freedom to move, discover, and learn in a safe, stimulating environment. We're proud to be a trusted, community-focused nursery where children flourish and families feel genuinely supported and we would love to show you around!

πŸ‘‘Nursery Manager

Stephanie

Some people have organisational skills. Steph has organisational SUPERPOWERS. How else do you explain someone who juggles being a nursery manager, Area Support and Development Manager for an entire nursery group, a new mum to baby Seraphina, AND a zookeeper to an impressive collection of animals at home - all while maintaining the kind of calm demeanour that makes everyone else wonder if she's secretly a robot? (She's not. We checked.) With 15 years of experience growing through the 1st Safari ranks and a PGCE in Early Years Education, Steph brings her particular brand of magic to Genesis Milnrow. When she's not busy knowing exactly where everything is (seriously, ask her where ANY document is - she knows), you'll find her with a sketchbook. Drawing is her creative escape, and it's the one time she can switch off from spreadsheets and Ofsted prep. Oh, and she has STRONG opinions about socks - specifically that they should never, ever match. Life's too short for boring feet.

🎈Fun Facts About Me
✦Passionate about drawing - it's her creative escape from the wonderful chaos of running multiple nurseries and wrangling her home zoo.
✦Firmly believes dessert should come FIRST. Why save the best for last? This philosophy extends to chocolate at any hour and ice cream regardless of weather.
✦Has never worn matching socks in her life. Not once. She considers odd socks a personality statement and will judge your matchy-matchy feet accordingly.
