Review from Leanne B (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The team at this nursery are fantastic and have been brilliant with our twin boys. The twins have continued to make excellent progress whilst being at the nursery and love attending! Staff are always friendly, very informative and support not only the children but the parents too. I would highly recommend checking them out if you have little ones in the Northfield / West Heath area. They have great resource and amazing facilities.

The fees are decent too, we do not have to worry about supplying food or nappies. You get excellent value for money, especially if you have more than one little one attend the nursery. Highly recommend this nursery to all parents.

Overall Experience

My babies love coming to nursery and are thriving here. The staff are so lovely and everything is so homely. I thought my little boy would struggle to settle in babies but he is so happy here. My little girl loves pre school and is learning so much. We love nursery. I feel so happy leaving my children.

Review from M H (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been attending this nursery for nearly 2 yrs.Initially prior to the old station taking over I was impressed by the family feel, outdoor space & activities the children were participating in and i felt secure knowing the majority of staff there had been there for the majority of their whole careers. Unfortunately in the last year I have seen a huge decline in activities being set for my child who is due to start school in Sept. There have been little to none outdoor activities/trips or even visitors coming into the nursery to aid learning and interest. staff turnover has been shocking (currently standing at 15 members leaving in 1 year or less) & basically in my opinion it is down to poor leadership and management. I have maybe said hello to the new manager approx 2 times in the space of 6 months & my child wouldn't know who she was. The app updates & communication have been very inconsistent & sadly I wouldn't recommend this nursery. The recent ofsted is also very telling.

We are thrilled with the nursery and bay room team. The care and thought they put into everything is wonderful and the app updates make us smile knowing my child is enjoying their time here so much. My son is so excited during morning drop-off and understands the consistent routine offered here. They understand my son's individual needs and wants and get his personality and humour.

This is a brilliant nursery, very caring and really care for our daughter. We know how well she is looked after and all the staff members know her and we don't worry at all about her learning, having fun and enjoying it.

We will send future children here and really like the smaller feel. The staff are brilliant and our daughter knows them all by name and comes home very happy.
