At Just for Starters, the well qualified and experienced team are there to support your child to reach their full potential. Every child is unique, and the staff provide an environment that is fun and enriching as well as safe and secure to meet your child's needs.
There is an inviting and generous outdoor space including a sensory and all weather garden. Children also have access to sand and water play, climbing frames, balancing beams and a large selection of bikes, scooters and sports equipment. All these activities are important to enhance children's co-ordination and physical development.
Inside, the nursery has different areas designed to spark the child's imagination and further develop social and physical skills. These include the home corner, soft play area, puppet theatre and construction. In addition, there is access to sand and water play, arts & crafts and cooking, several book corners, numerous toys and games and lots of opportunities for mark making.
The child-centred and free flow approach allows children to follow their interests and develop at their own pace.
At the nursery, menus are varied so children have the opportunity to try different foods. They believe that mealtimes should be happy times where social skills are learnt.
The Just for Starters team warmly invite you to visit them soon.

Just for Starters is a great nursery. I was worried about my child settling at nursery but staff were friendly and great in getting my child to feel comfortable. He came home happy each day and looked forward to going to nursery the next day. The app was regularly updated about activities my child had taken part in which allowed me to discuss my child's day with him. The staff are patient and nurturing and create a wonderful environment for the children to learn and play. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
Thank you for your lovely review, it was so nice to read! I look forward to sharing your kind words with the rest of our team and I am so pleased that you have had a lovely experience in our setting.
Our son spent just one year at the nursery, but it was such a wonderful journey. The staff are incredibly engaging, enthusiastic and supportive, with so many fun and varied activities every day. We are very grateful for the care and encouragement he received. Thank you so much!

My daughter has just completed 2.5 years at this nursery and has had the best experience. The staff are so caring and helpful and could never do enough for us. They are very reliable in that they remained open during heatwaves and snow storms when local schools were closed. They prepared my daughter well for school and we could not have asked for more from them.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are so pleased you have had such a wonderful experience with us and wish you all the best!

As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, happy and genuinely well looked after whilst at nursery. The staff create such a warm, nurturing and engaging environment, and it is clear that every child is cared for as an individual.
The team goes above and beyond to support children's development, helping them grow in confidence whilst making learning fun. Their professionalism, communication and genuine passion for what they do gives us complete peace of mind every day.
A huge thank you to Carla and the whole team for everything you do.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate it and are so pleased to hear you are happy with the care your little one receives!
I have had the pleasure of having my daughter at JFS nursery since April 2025 when she turned 2 years old and it was the best decision I made for her. Not only has her speech and communication skills made leaps and bounds of improvement but she has made such strong bonds with her peers and the...
They always update the app and keep you up to date with what your child has done during the day which is so reassuring.
They take such good care of my daughter and this is the only nursery I ever recommend to people!
Thank you for this lovely review. We are so pleased that you are happy at JFS and we love having your little one with us!

Just for Starters offers an intimate and ideal environment. My granddaughter has made great progress in language, knowledge, and social skills, especially sharing and caring. This is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the staff. Staff and management consistently uphold high standards of professionalism. The app enables parents to observe inspiring activities children participate in. Parents are actively involved in children's learning, fostering a strong sense of community. The team is managed with great effectiveness, each demonstrating compassion, flexibility and empathy, always with a friendly approach. This extends to the wider family, contributing to a powerful sense of belonging. There have been no staff changes during our time, providing further reassurance for parents. Ultimately, children are the biggest critics. When my granddaughter returns home saying she has had a lovely day and is eager to go back, it's clear JfS is providing an environment where children are happy.
Thank you for your lovely review - your feedback means a lot to us and we are so pleased to hear you are happy with everything at JFS!

Our son has been attending Just for Starters (JFS) since he was 2 years old, and now at 4 he's thriving in their preschool setting. When he first joined, he was very shy and spoke very little. Thanks to the incredible fun, care, and attention from the JFS team, he soon out of his shell. He became more confident, started talking more, and truly found his voice.
During his time at JFS, he has also made some wonderful friends and grown into a kind, caring little boy. It's been lovely to see him use that kindness to support some of the younger nursery children too - something we believe is a reflection of the nurturing environment around him.
Now in preschool, the team continues to support his development through creative play and thoughtful activities. We can see his confidence grow stronger every single day. The nurturing environment, patient staff, and engaging learning approach have made such a positive difference to his early years.
We're truly grateful to JFS.
Thank you for such a lovely review! It is a pleasure having your little one with us and we're so pleased you are happy with the care he receives!

Just For Starters is a gorgeous nursery.
It is all you could wish for your child to experience during their pre-school years - a comfy, cosy setting full of proper activities, classic toys & play areas, all led by staff who care for the children as if they were their own.
The nursery and it's staff balance a home-from-home vibe with a high level of professionalism. Staff are kind, warm & approachable as well as being incredibly knowledgeable, forward-thinking & informative.
My son feels as comfortable and confident at nursery as he does at home, yet staff always seem to strive to provide children with experiences that they may not get time for at home every day - for example, messy, sensory activities that are always accessible, outdoor (and indoor) play using an abundance of play equipment, & time for all of the children within the nursery to come together and socialise through their play.
JFS is a really happy place - I am so grateful they are part of my son's early years.

A wonderful nursery experience! We've had such a fantastic experience with Just for Starters Nursery. From the very beginning, we felt completely reassured knowing our child was cared for in such a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment. Our little one has made lovely friendships, and developed so many new skills and interests. The staff encourage creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning, and they always make the children feel heard and valued. Everyone is kind, approachable, and genuinely caring - which makes such a big difference for parents too. We're so grateful for the thoughtful activities, the safe and happy atmosphere, and the way the team goes above and beyond every day. Highly recommended!

My younger son just had his graduation last week and I wanted to share how grateful we are for Just for Starters. We moved from Kent to Sutton Coldfield 18 months ago and were very anxious about finding a good nursery, as our previous one had been fantastic. But Just for Starters completely exceeded our expectations. From day one, everyone was so welcoming, caring, and attentive. The team went above and beyond not just in daily care but in preparing children for school with genuine love and effort. The manager, is fantastic - always approachable and passionate - and the staff are simply wonderful. They've created such a happy, nurturing environment where our son has thrived. We always felt confident he was in the best hands. Just for Starters has made a lasting impact on our family and we can't recommend it highly enough.
This was such a lovely review to read, the staff are incredibly grateful for your compliments and I am so pleased you've had such a wonderful experience with us!

Over the years my daughter has developed a beautiful relationship with the staff which is a testament to the care and attention that they show the children.
The activities and opportunities for learning and experiencing new things that this nursery provides is fantastic.
The crossover that they have with the primary school to help settle the children when they leave just goes to prove that they really care about the child as a whole and not just while they are at the nursery.
I have recommended this nursery to all of my family and friends who have little ones and I will be sending my second child here too. I am very grateful to all of the staff and am very happy to have found this nursery.
Thank you for a lovely review, it means so much to us! We can't wait to have baby number 2 with us soon!

The staff have had an amazingly positive impact on my child and have helped them grow in ways I honestly didn't think possible. My child didn't like other nurseries and it was heartbreaking trying to get them to go. That changed however when they came to Just for Starters. The staff bonded well and the effort they put in with the children is shown in how my child developed during their time with the staff. A big thank you for everything you have done.
Thank you for your lovely review, we miss your little one and hope they are having a great time at school!

I would highly recommend JFS to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

I am very happy with the nursery Just for Starters. My little one has only two months now that he is attending this nursery and in this little time, I have noticed a lot of positive changes. He has started to express himself more and saying a lot of new words with us at home. He learned to say the colours and to be clear about the things that he wants. He also started to eat a lot of different healthy vegetables and fruits. At home he even refused to try to eat various types of food and now, thanks to the nursery he enjoys eating them. I noticed that he is also more sociable towards children of his own age and now even outside he likes to play, and participate in games with other children. Overall I am very happy with the nursery and I would like to thank you for all the positive behaviours that my son has gained since he started to go there. Thanks again!
Thank you for such a lovely review! Your little one has settled fantastically here and it is a pleasure seeing his wonderful smile every day!
We are so happy we chose Just for Starters for our daughter, she is loving her time there and settled so quickly. All the staff are so nurturing and friendly and the children have a huge variation of activities which is over an open plan layout which I love! Would highly recommend Just for Starters!

Just for Starters Day Nursery has provided such a nurturing environment for my daughter. Following our job relocation, we moved to the area in January this year and we were extremely worried that our daughter would not settle in. Thanks to the caring staff in the Just for Starters Nursery, they made this transition much more smoothly than we expected. My daughter was very happy about staying full-time in the preschool class, and she grew so much in all aspects within the last six months when she was there. The close link with the local primary school makes the transition to the school much easier as well. The manager and the staff also spare no effort to arrange various activities for the children and families.
Thank you for your lovely review.

A lovely nursery with kind and caring staff. They really helped our little girl feel safe and we know she was well cared for. They took time to find out what she was in interested in and set up lots of activities so that she blossomed. The links with the school are great so they often used the outdoor space there. They also made a great job of getting her ready for school and the transition has been totally drama free!
Thank you for a lovely review! We are so pleased you're happy with your nursery choice and we are so glad your child has settled into school so well!
Both my daughter and son have attended the Just For Starters Day Nursery over the last five years. During this period, we had the best experience; all staff were professional, nurturing, and caring. I cannot emphasise enough, just how much they have cared for my children; it has become their second...
There are new daily activities and experiences planned, which have helped my son thrive and prepare him for his reception year in school. The nursery app has been fantastic in providing a platform where I can receive daily meal and activity updates, as well as key journey observations. I regularly use the app to communicate with the staff and receive instant responses.
I would highly recommend Just for Starters Day Nursery to anyone in the area looking for a warm and happy environment where your child can flourish.
Thanks so much!
My child loves her time at Just for Starters. They have nurtured her personality and thought so carefully about how to get the most out of her. She will be so sad to leave and we are forever grateful for their care and support.

As our son leaves this nursery to start his school journey I wanted to let any future parents looking for a safe and happy place to leave their child whilst they work that Just For Starters is that wonderful environment. Our son has grown emotionally and socially and as a working mum the nursery have supported us 100% which is so important. The dinners are healthy and always eaten and the rooms are filled with interesting and fun toys! We are so sad our nursery journey is over but so grateful for all that this nursery has provided, safety, fun, support and care.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We really appreciate that and we're so glad you have enjoyed your time with us at Just for Starters!
