Stonehouse nursery was once an old farm house building but is now renovated into a fully functional childcare facility. Lots of special remnants remain in their outdoor space like an original farm tractor and their 2 pet chickens who roam through the gardens whilst they play.

Stonehouse nursery was once an old farm house building but is now renovated into a fully functional childcare facility. Lots of special remnants remain in their outdoor space like an original farm tractor and their 2 pet chickens who roam through the gardens whilst they play.
They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with the children such as encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world. They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained.
They are big on happy children so they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world. Their ParentZone app keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery including photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress.
The nursery holds the green flag status in the prestigious Green Flag Eco-schools programme which is an internationally recognised award for excellence in environmental action and learning.
They love healthy eating at Stonehouse and they've partnered with Startwell, an exciting new programme being rolled out across Birmingham to encourage healthy, nutritious meals for children.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

First Steps Nursery is my child's home away from home. Staff are lovely. The best nursery in the West Midlands by far. Love all the outdoor activities and facilities. My child has learned so much and is so independent. Fun, fantastic nursery where I am happy to leave my child in great hands when I go to work. 5 star.
I have sent both my children to First Steps and have been very impressed with the service of the nursery. The staff are amazing and the nursery sets up children really well for primary school. I would definitely recommend First Steps.

A very friendly, caring nursery who will always do the best for the children in the setting. My child loves coming to nursery and has a great connection with other children in the setting but also with all staff members. The outdoor space is great. The nursery staff have great memories and also ask after my child's older siblings. I would highly recommend.
The nursery is great. My child loves coming in and settled as soon as she started. All the staff are super friendly and my child really enjoys seeing everyone when she gets in. Great facilities and activities.

Only the best of experiences. My little one progressed a lot since joining the nursery and has had a chance to make new friends. The staff are very caring and provide a lot of support to the little ones.

The location is now completely out of our way due to change of work but we spend about one and a half hours commuting each way every day to enable my daughter to continue at this nursery.
The menu could be more nutritious and less repetitive.
A bit pricey. Lots of requests for money for charity can get a bit tiring.
Overall highly recommended (I already recommended to two friends whose children have also joined).

Staff are very lovely, accommodating caring and you can tell they are genuinely interested in the well being of the children. Great environment both outdoors and indoors with a vast array of learning materials. We are pleased and will recommend to all! Well done and keep up the great work!

Thrilled with the transition my son has made since starting this nursery in December 2018 from a previous setting. The kind nature of the staff and attentiveness toward the children is second to none, this is evident with the relationships my son has made. Activities are well thought out and relevant to learning age. Informative handovers are given and observations/pictures shared regularly. Meals are nutritious and varied, there are alternative options for dietary requirements/fussy eaters. The outdoor area is amazing, lots of learning through play and the chickens give the whole place a warm homely/farmy feeling. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!
Very pleased indeed.

The staff have been so welcoming and the children have settled so quickly like they have always been here. Especially the youngest who has really come out of his shell since being here.
The staff also have put on extra sessions to help educate parents to continue the learning at home. I would 100% recommend this nursery.
We feel our son is loved and looked after as good as we could wish.
His development has been massive and that's a credit to the job done at the nursery.
Well done!

The nursery has really enabled my child to reach the best of his ability and I couldn't imagine taking him anywhere else.
