About this day nursery

Bumble Bees Nursery, with over 15 years of experience, offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children. The nursery prides itself on its dedicated and qualified staff who deeply understand early childhood development, ensuring high-quality care for all families.

Recognising the importance of individual learning, children are encouraged to explore their interests, with staff providing engaging activities to support their growth across all developmental areas. The nursery highly values strong parent partnerships, facilitating this through online learning journals that offer regular updates on children's progress.

Each child is assigned a key worker who acts as a primary contact for parents, providing daily feedback and addressing any concerns. Both of their settings, Stechford and Castle Bromwich, have received a 'GOOD' rating from OFSTED.

They offer flexible childcare options, including term-time-only contracts, and their daily activities align with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, tailored to children's individual interests.
