About this day nursery

Small Talk Nurseries in Wolverhampton, established in January 2021 as part of the Small Talk Nurseries Franchise, offers high-quality childcare from 6 weeks to 15 years. The nursery, led by Graduate Level 6 Management, is located in a purpose-built facility that was previously two houses.

It includes dedicated rooms for babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers, as well as an after-school and holiday club catering to older children. The setting provides a safe, bright, and airy environment with CCTV surveillance and a fingerprint entry system for enhanced security.

Children benefit from healthy, freshly prepared meals from an in-house kitchen, a large outdoor play area, and ample parking. The nursery is committed to creating a nurturing "home from home" atmosphere, fostering emotional well-being, and supporting families through flexible session options, including both paid and funded places.

All staff members are First Aid trained and hold Level 2 Food Safety certificates, with each child assigned a dedicated key person to monitor their development and progress.

My son has been attending here for few months now and he's came out of his shell so much. His speech is amazing. The activities they do with the children is great and the staff are all lovely and polite. We will definately miss the girls when he does go full time 😢 amazing place 💜 thank you for what you do for our children x

Although for 10 months my son seemed to enjoy nursery here, I have recently taken him out due to the horrendous ofsted report from July 2022. I will not be returning there.
