How they support every child

SEND provision

The skilled and trained special educational needs coordinators are enthusiastic and committed in their roles. They work closely with parents and other professionals to identify, plan and coordinate the additional support that children need. All staff work together to secure rapid rates of progress for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Children play outdoors for extended periods of time throughout the day. Pre-school children become thoroughly absorbed in their play as they make their own concoctions with water, bark, soil and leaves. They paint the trees and walk in and out of the coloured water and examine their own footprints.

Our son has been going to Victoria nursery since May 2021. As soon as we walked into nursery on our first visit, we were put at ease and knew this was the nursery for us. The staff is very accommodating while being very professional and they take very good care of individual needs and learning for our children. The garden is amazing which my son loves it :). He struggled at the beginning and it took him some time to settle in but he has been very happy with his key workers and created a very good bond with them. We would highly recommend it to all the parents looking for a warm atmosphere and the daily updates on the app that makes you feel like the child is still with you all day :).

Amazing place! From the first moment we walked into Victoria nursery, we knew that this is the best place for our child. The play area is amazing, the food is healthy and variable, the staff are the most caring and nice people! The little one is so happy there and she’s learning so many new things. Absolutely recommend! 🥇

We waited for a while to get into this nursery and we have never looked back since. From the moment we met Mary and her staff we were treated like family. They have helped progress my son into a confident young man and worked with us through the turbulent moments along the way. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and we will certainly be sad to leave this summer.

The nursery is fantastic, staff are brilliant and hard working. My child loves it there and he will be so sad to leave later this year to go on to big school. The nursery came highly recommended to us and we quickly realised we had made a very good choice. We would also recommend to anyone who is looking for a good quality nursery near Harborne, Birmingham.

Amazing and dedicated team who care for kids beyond words. My daughter is in love with the place and with her teachers and she blended in from day 1. Thanks for the preschool team who work very hard to follow up each and every kid individually. Management is is very organised, cooperative and friendly. I would definitely recomment it for other parents.
