Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Comprehensive support plans are implemented to gather crucial information to be shared with other agencies, helping children gain support at the earliest point. Leaders and staff work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure support is relevant and coordinated, enabling all children to make good progress.

Outdoor space

The secure outdoor environment provides further learning opportunities. Staff set out various activities for children to access. Children learn about balance, navigating space, and using different surfaces, and can also sit calmly with books. Older children engage in complex throwing and catching games, critically thinking and suggesting ways to make games more difficult.

We love this nursery so much. The staff are amazing and really recognise the children as individuals and build lovely bonds. The environment is fun, kind and caring and the communication home is excellent. The kids do loads of messy play and creative activities like cooking and making play-doh, they also play in the garden every day. We love that there is a chef who makes all the meals fresh on site every day. The location is also incredibly convenient for commuting, close to train station and bus routes. Highly recommend.

Our boys had the best time at the nursery. From the very first day, the staff were incredibly supportive and helped them settle into nursery life so quickly. In just one term, they have grown and developed so much. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected house move, they were only able to stay for a short time. We will truly miss the nursery, but we cannot recommend it highly enough. Exceptional staff, a warm and engaging learning environment, and above all, our boys absolutely love it — so much so that on their days off, they often ask about seeing their nursery key persons. Upon further reflection, I decided to add a feedback for the nursery as I believe there is always room for improvement. A feedback for the nursery- I’ve noticed that one of my sons’ minority language/identity was completely ignored in his assessments, even though we clearly stated this when he joined. What makes this more concerning is that his brother’s teacher did acknowledge it, so it feels inconsistent and dismissive of an important part of who he is. His home language and identity matter, even if they are not widely represented in the setting. Recognising this supports his sense of belonging and respects the information we provided from the start. I hope the nursery will take this on board moving forward so that all children’s backgrounds—especially minority ones—are valued equally and consistently. Thank you for everything, and we wish you all the very best.

My 18 month old son has been attending little adventures nursery for around 3 weeks now, I was looking for some childcare so I could begin university and found little adventures to be perfect I had visited a couple of other nursery’s in the area and wasn’t wowed at all so had my heart set on a childminder until I visited little adventures. my son has settled straight in, the staff are so welcoming and lovely ! And always have time for a chat no matter what it’s about, my son now drinks water when he didn’t before he is eating foods he didn’t like before and is just thriving I absolutely love the app as it means I can check in whenever I feel like through the day so I still feel Connected to what my sons up to I love the fact there’s an on-site chef that prepares the food from scratched it’s not brought in and reheated ready meals like some others I also love the transparency of pick up and drop offs I can take my son to his room and pick him up from whatever area in the nursery he may be in so you always see the full picture as for cleanliness the nursery is always spotless and tidy they do some messy activities but you would never tell I absolutely love this nursery and cannot recommend enough 5 stars aren’t enough 10/10 outstanding nursery

Our Daughter has been at Little Adventures since January, after moving her from another nursery we are so pleased with the service they provide. Our Daughter is showing so much growth already in the couple of months she's been there. They offer a range of activities throughout the day for your childs personal growth. The staff are very approachable and i feel my daughter is in safe hands. The nursery itself is lovely and clean with lots of activities for the children to do. We absolutely love the new garden. They also provide healthy meals and the app gets updated regularly with what my child has eaten throughout the day. I'm so happy we made the move to this nursery, Our Daughter really enjoys being there.

My daughter has been attending Little Adventures for a month now and is thriving. Her confidence has grown and her speech is vastly improving. The staff are very welcoming and have made my daughter feel comfortable right from the settling in sessions. Communication between staff and parents is amazing and the app which the nursery use makes this even easier. Would highly recommend Little Adventurers to anybody looking for a Stirchley nursery.
