About this day nursery
AppleKids Day Nursery in Hall Green has been a leading provider of high-quality childcare and early years education since 2013, catering to children aged between 3 months and 4 years. The nursery prides itself on fostering an environment where young minds can explore, learn, and flourish.
They adopt a flexible approach to childcare, acknowledging the diverse demands of modern family life and striving to accommodate individual needs. This commitment extends to their staff, who undergo extensive and consistent training to ensure the highest standards of care.
A key element of their philosophy is the 'Parent Promise,' a set of policies designed to support families. This includes ensuring all staff are first-aid trained, offering flexible application of 15 and 30-hour funding for children under three, providing unlimited free settling-in sessions over a two-week period before a child's plan begins, allowing occasional late pick-ups without penalty, and offering free additional sessions during quieter times.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Parents of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities say they are kept up-to-date with any extra support their child is receiving, and they feel listened to by staff.
Outdoor space
Children have chances to develop their large physical skills as they use the vast space available to them outdoors. Children are keen to spend time outdoors, riding bikes and climbing on wooden frames. However, the limited number of activities on offer means that children's learning is not enhanced as much as it could be.

A Truly Exceptional Home Away From Home: 5 Stars for Applekids! Our family gives Applekids Day Nursery an enthusiastic five stars without hesitation. Finding care that feels like a true extension of home is rare, but that is exactly what Applekids provides. The entire team is simply outstandingly caring, passionate, and attentive to every child's needs. The dedication of the staff is truly palpable. They don't just look after the children; they actively engage with them, bringing genuine enthusiasm to every interaction. We especially appreciate the constant, clear communication and availability. We always feel fully informed about our daughter’s day, and the staff is always ready to answer any questions, making us feel completely secure and supported as parents. A special and heartfelt thank you must go to the incredible team in the Babies Section. Our daughter has been with them since last year, and their work is nothing short of astonishing. The level of care, the thoughtfully planned activities, and the nurturing environment they create are truly second to none. They have played a huge role in her development, always ensuring she feels safe, happy, and stimulated.
