About this day nursery
Scholars Childcare, located in Wednesfield, WV11 1UN, has been providing care for children aged 0-4 years since its registration in 2017. The nursery is open Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6 pm, all year round, with closures on bank holidays and for one week at Christmas.
The recent inspection on May 7, 2025, noted that the nursery is undergoing a change in leadership, with new leaders who are dedicated and reflective about areas needing improvement. The new leadership team has invested in equipment that supports children's physical development, allowing them to enjoy moving across various surfaces, balancing on wooden beams, and climbing on wooden frames.
Children who are just learning to walk also have ample opportunities to practice their skills in large spaces. The nursery places a strong emphasis on parent partnerships, ensuring that families feel supported and well-informed, contributing to a happy and settled environment for the children.
Whilst the provision currently requires improvement, the commitment from the new leadership to enhancing the curriculum and overall outcomes for children is evident.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for over 12 months now, and has grown in confidence and education and that’s thanks to the Nursery and all of the fantastic staff there. Never had any issues and my child has been happy and content there at every single session she has attended. I cannot recommend this nursery enough for there professionalism and there friendliness and making sure my daughter is happy and safe at all times.

My daughter had a fantastic time here. I wouldn't be leaving if we weren't moving to another city. The teachers/minders are warm and helpful. Sarah is professional, efficient and ever ready to be of assistance. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
