Our mission is to provide high quality, inclusive childcare and education for University of Birmingham staff and students as well as parents in the local community. Our highly trained team use their skills, warmth, and passion to apply the National Framework for early years which are underpinned by our nursery values. Our aim is to help your child develop physically, intellectually, socially, and emotionally

We understand that each and every child needs a happy, healthy environment for learning and playing and our day nurseries are dedicated to helping parents provide just that. Children benefit immensely from the rich, stimulating environment and the wealth of learning opportunities that are available to them. The government's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the framework the nursery follows to provide that assurance.
The children are surrounded by their peers and dedicated practitioners to allow them to develop at their own pace.
