About this day nursery

Havelock House Day Nursery, established in 2024, is a childcare setting in Birmingham for children aged 2 to 4 years old. Open from 9:00 to 15:00, Monday to Friday during term-time only, the nursery provides a warm and welcoming environment where children arrive with enthusiasm.

The staff at Havelock House create nurturing relationships with the children, fostering a strong sense of belonging and supporting their emotional well-being, particularly during arrival. The curriculum explicitly follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and includes a focus on promoting children's development of independence in self-care routines.

Children benefit from engaging in independent learning in the outdoor area, where they explore with magnifying glasses and participate in active play. The nursery excels in its provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, with staff meeting regularly with parents and collaborating with external agencies to tailor support and ensure excellent progress.

Leaders are proactive in identifying areas for additional funding to support disadvantaged children.

Lovely nursery, sent my son here when it first opened and now my daughter attends. Staff are very helpful in easing parents and children’s worries and anxieties. One of the most cleanest nurseries I’ve visited and I know my children are very well looked after when I leave them. Staff are friendly, welcoming and are always happy to answer any questions I have regarding my children. I would 100% recommended this to any parent looking for a nursery in this area.

My daughter loves coming here everyday. I don’t have to tell her to get ready, she tells me to get ready to take her to school. Me and my wife, we are so lucky this nursery is close to home. All the staffs are AMAZING. Why? They’re always smiling. Thanks to Tina (manager) and her team. Keep it up.
