Most nose wheel damage is due to poor flying technique and not the runways!.

It is strange that at one airfield I know one of the club won't let solo students fly from a grass runway (in one direction) and the other club has no restriction.

Very occasionally someone is unlucky enough to fall down a fresh rabbit hole or some other obstruction but nine times out of ten it is poor PPL instruction that is the root cause of a nose wheel collapse.
