Spotty Zebra Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Spotty Zebra Day Nursery in Halesowen, B62 9JZ, provides high-quality care and early learning for children from birth to school age. The nursery operates year-round, closing only for bank holidays, with daily hours from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

The facility boasts a bright and airy environment, featuring a separate dining area for nutritionally fresh, cooked meals, fostering a communal mealtime experience. There are three expansive rooms on the ground floor designed to stimulate children's curiosity and encourage exploration, investigation, and a lasting love for learning.

Each of these rooms offers direct access to a spacious garden with an outdoor kitchen, promoting creative play. The first floor is dedicated to the youngest children, with staff specially trained in areas such as Baby sign, sing & sign, tummy time, and "tuning into babies," constantly seeking innovative ways to enrich the babies' experience.

The core philosophy centres on the belief that children thrive in a happy, secure, valued, and respected environment. The nursery employs a Key Person system and maintains a caring atmosphere to cultivate confidence and self-esteem.

The primary objective is to establish a relaxed, nurturing setting where experienced staff guide children's learning and inspire positive attitudes, strong relationships, good manners, and effective social skills. The nursery also prioritises safety, with 24-hour CCTV, a two-door entry system, rigorous daily health and safety checks, and all staff being qualified first aiders and trained in child protection and health and safety awareness.

Children are actively involved in safety practices, with "Helping Hands" roles in pre-school and regular workshops with community services like police and fire brigades to embed essential safety messages.
