A B C Day Nursery & Pre School

About this day nursery

ABC Day Nursery, nestled in Smethwick, provides a vibrant and largely organic environment where children aged 0-5 years are encouraged to embrace their uniqueness and natural curiosity. The nursery fosters creativity, confidence, and independence through a blend of child-initiated play and exploration, facilitated by sensitive and caring practitioners.

Children benefit from a free-flow indoor-to-outdoor setup, allowing them to engage with the changing seasons without interruption. Dedicated outdoor spaces tailored for different age groups serve as open-air classrooms, promoting self-directed learning based on each child’s interests.

These expansive outdoor areas feature quiet corners, reflective spots, and sensory experiences, including natural materials, sand, water, a sensory walkway, a mud kitchen, playhouses, a climbing frame with a slide, a gardening club, and a builders' yard. The nursery prides itself on creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all families within the community, providing individualised support to ensure every child can access diverse learning opportunities.

Transitions for new children are managed flexibly, allowing them to settle at their own pace, supported by a dedicated Key Person who also builds strong relationships with parents to understand and meet individual needs. Freshly prepared, nutritious meals are cooked on-site, maintaining a 5-star food hygiene rating, and the nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6 pm, closing only for Christmas/New Year and public holidays.
