About this day nursery

School House Private Day Nursery, located in Bromsgrove, is part of the Woodland House Group, which was established in 1991 by Glenis Keenan. The group began with the opening of School House Private Day Nursery and has since expanded to include four nurseries.

Glenis, a qualified Nursery Nurse and Social Worker with experience in social care, healthcare, and early years education, founded the nursery on principles of high standards, child-centred care, and continuous improvement, which have resulted in Ofsted Outstanding ratings across her settings. The Woodland House Group is now led by a team dedicated to upholding Glenis's original vision and values, focusing on excellence, care, and professionalism.

Each nursery in the group aims to provide a nurturing environment where children can develop confidence, curiosity, and independence, while also reflecting the unique needs of its local community. The group emphasises a commitment to families, making child-centred decisions, fostering collaborative passion among staff, embracing innovation for continuous development, and maintaining integrity through honest and transparent communication.

Our ethos

At Woodland House Group, we believe early years education should feel safe, inspiring and full of opportunity. Across our Nurseries, we provide nurturing environments where children are supported to grow in confidence, curiosity and independence from the very beginning. Everything we do is guided by what matters most to children and their families and focused on our values: Child Centred, Collaborative Passion, Innovation, and Integrity.

All 3 of my children have been to this nursery and it is simply Amazing! The staff are fantastic; loving to the children, attentive to both the parents and children, and they work so hard to ensure the children have everything they need. As well as it being a lovely place, they are also so good at teaching the children and helping their development. Honestly, we could not recommend this place highly enough.
