This established nursery prides itself on fostering a nurturing environment that feels like a second home, preparing children for their transition to local primary schools. They actively engage with the surrounding community, utilising Lightwoods Park, Warley Woods, Thimblemill library, and Bearwood High Street for enriching children's play and exploration experiences. The nursery offers comprehensive care, including dedicated spaces for babies, toddlers, and a pre-school room focused on learning. The team comprises experienced and qualified practitioners who are dedicated to each child's individual learning and development. The Playhouse Day Nursery also provides before and after school services for local schools, demonstrating their commitment to supporting families in the area. The nursery was founded by Yvonne in 1987, driven by her desire to provide affordable and suitable childcare, a venture that eventually grew into a family business with her daughter, Liz, joining the team in 2004. What it's like Children of all ages form close relationships with the caring and nurturing staff, enjoying cuddles and reassurance that positively impact their emotional well-being. Staff's high expectations for behaviour help children to behave well, listening to and understanding simple rules like 'sharing is caring' and using 'kind hands', allowing them to play happily and safely.

Staff make effective use of their accurate observations and assessments to identify any gaps in children's learning, which has enabled them to seek external support for children, particularly those who have additional needs. Outdoor space The outdoor environment has been improved with more opportunities for children to develop their physical skills. Younger children practise their early walking, and older children test their agility and spatial awareness on climbing apparatus. Children plant herbs and vegetables, which they harvest and explore together with staff.
