About this day nursery

Edgbaston Nursery School, located in Birmingham, offers a nurturing environment for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Inspired by the Scandinavian concept of Hygge, the nursery creates a calm, safe, and stimulating atmosphere that prioritises children's emotional well-being.

They provide a 'home-from-home' setting, utilising natural resources to spark curiosity and wonder in their charges. The nursery aims to create a family-focused atmosphere, offering a dedicated reception area where parents can relax with refreshments.

Sessions include full days, mornings, and afternoons, with options for early starts and late pick-ups. The nursery operates year-round, closing only for Christmas week and two annual staff training days.

Fees are inclusive of infant formula, milk, home-cooked meals and snacks, health and hygiene consumables like nappies, wipes, and sun cream, and various extracurricular activities such as yoga, community trips, cookery, and Forest School. They also offer sibling and full-time attendance discounts.

The nursery is proud to offer Early Years Funding for eligible children aged 9 months and above, stretching the funded hours across 51 weeks to cater to working families. They work closely with parents, providing daily updates through chats and learning journals, and discuss development at parents' evenings.

The admissions process involves registering interest, visiting the nursery, and confirming the child's place with a registration fee and deposit. The nursery uses the Famly parent app for communication and updates.

My daughter has been attending this nursery and absolutely loves it! From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, kind, and genuinely caring. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into the children’s well-being and development. The environment is nurturing and cheerful, and my daughter looks forward to going every day. I’ve seen her grow in confidence and skills, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she’s receiving. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, loving place for their child.

I cannot thank Edgbaston Nursery school enough. My very clingy little girl started at just 11 months old and she has grown so much in just a couple of months. Her confidence and independence are now so noticeable. The settling in sessions helped me as much as her. The CCTV instantly put me at ease. My daughter’s key worker, Destiny, worked tirelessly to help her settle and to get her to a point where she thoroughly enjoyed nursery. We will always be grateful for the care she received whilst there.

I have just seen some social media posts from this nursery and it had me feeling nostalgic. Both my children attended, they are now 7 and 11. The fact that they have retained so many staff throughout this time just shows what a wonderful place this is. My children still have fond memories from nursery and I am so glad they were a part of their journey.

My son is in that nursery for over 2 years now. I cannot express how grateful I am to the entire nursery staff for everything that they do for him. We’ve been getting a lot of support since he started - especially during hard times, when his dad passed away. I cannot imagine myself to send my boy anywhere else. The girls at the nursery are super kind and professional. Management is always happy to help. When my son is at the nursery I feel super confident that he’s happy and I wouldn’t change it for a world ❤️
