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

helping to prepare them for their future at school and beyond. 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.
