Day Nurseries Owned by QCE Nurseries Ltd in West Midlands

Both of our children have attended Merryvale Nursery over a 4 year period and we have seen many improvements that have been positive and made an impact on the children's learning and development. One of the biggest improvements we have seen is the outdoor space and the start of forest school which has enriched our child's learning. Our children have felt safe, nurtured and left with an abundance of confidence ready to start school.

Merryvale is a truly fantastic nursery with the most caring staff and nurturing environment. Both of my boys attended here, with the youngest just leaving this year - I can say hand on heart they felt safe and loved by the team and will miss them dearly. The progress reports generated by the nursery are in depth and show that the setting knows the children extremely well - tailoring to their needs specifically. My son who is about to start primary school in September is well equipped for the transition and was supported very well by Merryvale. A wonderful place for a little one to thrive.

Both my kids go here (3 yo and 1yo) and I've only got good things to say. Lovely staff, my kids are very happy to go. Lots of messy play, and accommodate my son's allergies and eczema very well.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bears for around a year and a half now and loves it! All of her key persons have been attentive, caring and have had genuine care for the children. My daughter looks forward to coming to nursery to play with her friends and practitioners in her room. They have so much to do and we love that she gets to explore gardening, forest school and woodworking! She comes home often and will randomly go into some of her favourite yoga poses she has learnt at nursery!

Over the course of 11 years, all three of our girls have attended Merryvale, starting from just 9 months old until they left for school. We have never had a single issue; the nursery has always been incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive. My daughters loved going to nursery every day to play with the wonderful staff and the other children. Thanks to the dedicated staff, their daily activities, and the structured learning, the girls were exceptionally well-prepared for starting school. I recommend Merryvale 100%!

We couldn't have asked for a better start for our son at Merryvale Day Nursery. From day one, the care, love and kindness shown by all the staff has been amazing, and it's always been such a comfort knowing he's in such safe and nurturing hands. Every member of staff is so approachable, friendly and always happy to help, which has made such a difference to us as parents. A special thank you to Tom and the bears team for the incredible support with our son's speech. We've seen such huge progress, and we're so grateful for the time, patience and encouragement given to him. It's never easy leaving somewhere that has meant so much to your child's early years, but we truly feel so lucky to have been part of the Merryvale family. We will always recommend Merryvale to any family and friends living nearby - it really is a wonderful nursery!

As a first time mom, I was very nervous about sending my daughter to a nursery but Merryvale really helped during that transitional period. She started at 13 months old and I was given regular updates and pictures which really put my mind at ease. Fast forward 7 months, my daughter is thriving, hitting all her milestones, and enjoys her time there. All the staff have been friendly and welcoming and I can see that my daughter is comfortable with them which is the most important thing. I don't have any other nursery to compare it to, but I am happy I chose Merryvale and don't have any concerns that would make me want to leave.

Only feedback point I have is, would be nice being told beforehand if staff members are leaving.

My daughter started at Merryvale Nursery just after her 1st birthday. She is now 3 and is absolutely thriving there. The nursery is fantastic. They do such a wide range of fun and educational activities. They have an amazing forest school and grow their own fruit and vegetables which they have with their meals. The meals are also varied and nutritious. The staff are fabulous and always there to give me updates on my daughter's day. They help with anything you ask which was great when she was going through potty training. I love the app they have which gives regular updates throughout the day on what she has eaten, when she slept and nappy changes. I found this very helpful being a first time mom. She goes 4 days a week and she even asks to go on her day off. I would definitely recommend Merryvale Nursery.

Staff are always welcoming and polite, Mason has come along way since joining and looks forward to coming to play with his friends. Thank you for all you do!

My daughter has enjoyed every moment at Merryvale in robins & squids. The ladies have been fabulous and the communication and photos on the app has been so reassuring. My only criticism is that not being aware of major management and staff changes is a little worrying. We hope that communication improves if it were to impact my child directly.

We think this nursery is amazing. We see progress in Ryan all the time and staff are amazing too! 100% I'd recommend to others.

Great experience, staff are great, really friendly and welcoming, great with my son. Food options are really healthy. Activities are really good.

Very happy with the nursery overall - I was very anxious for my son to start but the girls were very welcoming and understanding. The only negative is the food/snack option feel limited for my son who has a dairy allergy.

I have been pleased that the staff at the nursery have been very supportive of my grandsons use of the toilet. The activities, including 'forest school' have been creative and very educational.

My son has been going to a busy bears f9r the last 3.5 years. The staff are so kind and friendly, making it a fabulous learning environment with the child's needs at the centre of their care. My son will really miss the staff when he goes to school.

My daughter joined the nursery about 6 months ago and was painfully shy. Since she's been to Merryvale, she's really started to come out of her shell and she absolutely loves it there. She gets very excited to go in the morning and always comes out happy. The staff are all lovely and you can tell that they really care about the children. I love the activities they plan for the children, it's great to see so much focus on the children being healthy- doing yoga, looking after the garden, cooking. It's a brilliant nursery.

I was so nervous to send my son to nursery but Merryvale couldn't have been better. They facilitated a quick turnaround after I was let down by another provider and the transition was so simple. They've been nothing but kind and welcoming. My son is flourishing and I am so delighted that he is in such a nurturing environment. I highly recommend that anyone considering Merryvale definitely take the leap - you won't look back!

It has a real family feel to it and my son absolutely loves it. Thank you to all the team for making my son's nursery experience amazing, I will be sad for him to leave next September.

Thank you all for being amazing!

We have been with Kids Korner since September 2023 and my daughter has loved it. The staff are always so helpful and make my daughters light up whenever it's time to go in. The nursery really does cater to all and I've always felt my daughter is safe and supported in her social and academic progression. We will be sad to leave for reception in September. The staff are brilliant and I can't thank them enough for allowing my daughter to flourish.
