About this day nursery

Halesowen Day Nursery is situated in a converted house, providing a nurturing and homely atmosphere for children. The nursery features four playrooms, each thoughtfully equipped to suit specific age groups, allowing children to independently access resources.

Daily outdoor play is encouraged in a spacious garden divided for under and over-twos, offering diverse activities like sand and water play, nature exploration, and areas for physical and imaginative development. An additional Garden Room provides a dedicated space for focused sessions for Kindergarten and Preschool children.

My son has attended Halesowen Day Nursery since 13 months and he is now 3.5 years old! I honestly can not recommend this nursery enough. Nothing has ever been too much, we have been kept in the loop of what has happened during the day via the app and all the staff/teachers are very patient and knowledgeable in their skills! I have never had any issues in any queries I have ever had. The best in Halesowen! Thank you!

We came across Halesowen Day Nursery as a recommendation from our friends. We had seen a lot of nurseries in our local area (Stourbridge) and just didn't feel comfortable sending our daughter there. We went in to see Halesowen and we felt it was a home away from home. Our daughter has since joined the nursery and it's incredible. Everything about the nursery puts your child at the centre. The food, the environment, the staff, the updates, the energy put into our child's development are all amazing.100% recommend!

I would like to say this nursery is an absolute gem! The staff are all fantastic and go above and beyond on everything as do the management. My daughter started in kindergarten and will be leaving for school in September. If I could keep her here forever I would. She has come on fantastically with her speech and overall development. My daughter loves attending and we can not fault this nursery at all xx

Both of my children have attended Halesowen Day Nursery although my eldest has now left for primary school. The nursery is absolutely wonderful, they provide a really lovely environment for the children to grow and thrive in. Our eldest child grew so much in confidence during her time here. We watched her blossom from a relatively shy girl into a bright, chatty and confident child. The staff were always invested and interested in her progress and are always happy to see her when she pops in with me to collect her brother. Our youngest has suffered with some allergy issues and the nursery has been unbelievably accommodating. In the time before he started nursery I told Sarah, the owner, that I was worried they might not be able to take him. She laughed this thought off and said if we want to send him then they can take care of him, she’s been true to her word. Honestly cannot recommend Halesowen Day Nursery enough to anyone who wants a kind and nurturing environment to prepare their kids for the challenges of school.
