Services
Baby Room Care
Our Baby Room provides a calm, sensory-rich environment for children aged 0-2 years. Natural wooden furniture, soft lighting, and strict 1:3 staff ratios ensure individual attention. We focus on physical development through tummy time, sensory play, and treasure basket exploration while promoting secure attachments through our Key Person system. Daily outdoor access supports holistic development.
Toddler Development
For 2-3 year olds, our Toddler Room balances structured activities with free play across seven EYFS areas. Low-level resources encourage independence during meals and creative play. Staff facilitate social skills development through group activities while tracking progress against developmental milestones. Daily hygiene routines and potty training support build self-care capabilities.
Pre-School Education
Our Pre-School Room prepares 3-5 year olds for formal education through a curriculum blending adult-led instruction with child-initiated play. Focused sessions develop literacy and numeracy using 'Letters and Sounds' phonics, while ICT resources and role-play areas enhance cognitive skills. Staff ratios of 1:8 allow tailored support for transitioning to school environments.
Funded Childcare
We offer eligible families access to government-funded childcare schemes including 15-hour and 30-hour entitlements for 3-4 year olds, plus stretch funding options. Our team assists with eligibility checks and application processes to make quality early education accessible. Funding packages can be combined with additional paid hours as needed.
Parent Partnership
We maintain daily communication through evening updates and digital learning journals accessible via the Famly app. Parents receive regular developmental observations and participate in workshops covering early years topics. Home learning resources and two-way feedback mechanisms ensure continuity between nursery experiences and family environments.

He is now a confident boy. Jag and Jo are brilliant Managers. A big thank you to Kim and Kajol for doing a great job with Adam. We still pop in to say hello and feel very welcome.

My children attend this nursery and i couldn't have made a better choice. My children settled very quickly thanks to the kind and caring staff. Every single teacher goes out their way to track a child's development and focus on their strengths and weaknesses and this is always fed back to the parents. The room leader is caring and humble which is nice to see from somebody in a position of authority. Keep up the fantastic work!

What an amazing nursery! I was visiting Birmingham for a few weeks and needed a temporary nursery for my son. The staff were very understanding and made my son feel so welcome. He never wanted to leave the nursery when I went to pick him up and always talked about it on the way home. Thank you to all the staff for looking after him, assuring me that he is settled and for being so understanding, especially Simon and Chandni who were both lovely. I couldnt recommend this nursery enough!
