Services
Day Nursery
Our day nursery service provides full-day care for children aged 0-72 months across eight Birmingham and Staffordshire locations. Each setting offers age-appropriate playrooms, secure outdoor gardens with physical resources, and ICT facilities. Staff create individualised learning plans aligned with EYFS requirements while maintaining a warm, welcoming atmosphere for children and parents.
After School Club
The after school club extends care beyond standard nursery hours for school-aged children. Our facilities include structured activities, homework support, and access to outdoor play equipment. This service operates alongside holiday club provision to accommodate working parents' schedules while maintaining continuity with our educational approach.
Holiday Club
Holiday club provision offers structured childcare during school breaks. Our staff organise themed activities aligned with the EYFS framework while maintaining access to outdoor play areas and specialist resources. This service ensures consistent care quality during term holidays while providing opportunities for extended learning experiences.
Cooking Lessons
Cooking lessons introduce children to food preparation and nutrition through hands-on activities. Led by our nursery cook, these sessions develop motor skills and foster healthy eating habits. The curriculum complements our fresh meal provision while encouraging children to explore different textures, tastes, and cooking techniques in a safe environment.
Extra-Curricular Activities
Our extra-curricular activities include music specialists, physical development sessions, and community engagement projects. These programmes enhance standard curriculum delivery through specialist instructors and external partnerships. Activities like Jo Jingles music classes and Little Kickers football sessions provide diverse learning opportunities that support holistic child development.
