Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has absolutely loved his time in Poppets. He is the second of my children to attend Poppets and from the very beginning, he settled in so well and has always been excited to go each day as his older sister also did. The staff are truly wonderful- caring, patient, and full of energy and it's clear
how much they genuinely enjoy spending time with the children. Communication has been excellent throughout; we've always felt informed and involved in his learning and daily activities. It's been such a positive experience, and we're so grateful for the support, kindness, and fun the team provides. We couldn't have asked for a better start to his early years and look forward to seeing his progress at nursery- highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has just finished nearly three years at Priory Poppets, and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care she received. As an only child, this was her first real social environment, and thanks to the loving, supportive, and dedicated staff, she has truly come out of her shell.


Over

her time there, she's grown in confidence, developed important social skills, and built strong bonds with both staff and children. The team have always shown genuine care and attention to her individual needs, and we always felt she was in safe, nurturing hands.


A special thank you to her teachers your kindness, warmth, and encouragement have made such a lasting impact on her early years.


We can't thank you enough and would wholeheartedly recommend Priory Poppets to any parent looking for a warm and positive environment for their child.

My child has loved his time with the Poppets. His teachers have gone above and beyond for him, showing how much they truly care. We're gutted that hes leaving all his teachers behind. He has made some lovely bonds that we'll cherish forever. When he first started poppets in September 2024 I was an anxious
mother, worried about everything. Throughout his time at Poppets the teachers made us feel comfortable and supported. They nurtured my child & took care of him like he was their own. Now that it is July 2025 I'm upset that my son has to start all over again. His teachers have been the back bone of his development. Thank you for everything

Amazing care taken of the children. Both my daughters have attended and they have grown and developed so much. There are always different daily activities, lots of fun for the children, and lots of educational play. The teachers are very nuturing, kind and caring and my daughters have loved their time

My daughter attended the nursery (preschool year) and we just love Priory! All staff at nursery are amazing, lovely, caring and wonderful group of people. The staff who are always at the parking area are the life savers and I am deeply grateful for them as well. All of my children attended the Priory
Poppets and over the years I had zero bad experiences, all happy memories only. The ladies at the reception desks always happy to help with any enquiries. Thank you for caring for my children and especially my daughter in the past year now. Will miss the nursery team for sure. Thank you.

Our little boy started nursery at just 11 months old, and the experience has been wonderful from the very beginning. The team have been absolutely amazing-it's clear how much genuine care and attention they give to the children's wellbeing and development. Two members of staff in particular, have been
so kind, warm, and accommodating. We're truly grateful and couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery!

The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of fun and creativity. It's been such a comfort knowing our child

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm so happy my son had the chance to attend Priory Nursery. As a parent with no experience with nurseries or schools, I wasn't sure what to expect. But the way they introduced him gently made the transition so smooth. His confidence has grown so much, and it's amazing to see how well he's doing.
The
teachers are wonderfulso caring, loving, and understanding. They've really gone the extra mile to help my son, and I can't thank them enough for the individual attention and support he's received. When he first started, he didn't know how to read or write. Now, he can write his name, understand sounds, and is ready for reception class.
I can't praise the Priory Nursery team enough. The progress my son has made in such a short time is incredible. I've decided to keep him there for reception, and I'm so thankful for everything they've done. I wholeheartedly recommend Priory Nursery to other parents. They've truly helped set my son on a great path!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I love this nursery, my toddler has been attending since Janurary this year. I'm considering to enroll my younger one here soon too.
The staff are amazing. They remember every little detail of my little one and her allergies are taken care of. She's made memorable bonds with her teachers and she's
thriving. She's also made friends which is nice to see. The environment is friendly and approachable. They are not always indoors and outside time is always encouraged. They even have forest school and Spanish lessons. A good mix of things to do which encourage learning.
It is always clean in the rooms and I've never had an issue with the way my child is treated. She communicates very clearly and has always said positive things about her experiences at nursery. Overall, I rate this nursery a 10/10.

My daughter loves her key person so much and it's so great to hear talk about her all the time. Her key person is such an amazing person with so much energy and kindness. She is so caring and you can just see how much she enjoys spending time with the kids.
The Priory Poppets is very well structured
around kids needs and ensures that every kid is looked after properly and treated well. They have great activities on a daily basis that the kids thoroughly enjoy. My daughter comes home happy and full of funny stories from her day with her friends. The teachers know the kids on individual basis and help them develop in every way they can. I would fully recommend them to anyone looking for a great place for their kids.

We are absolutely delighted with our experience at Priory School Nursery. From the very first day, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn.


The nursery team goes above and beyond

to support each child's individual needs and development. It's clear that they genuinely care about every child, helping them build confidence, independence, and social skills through gentle encouragement and structured play.


The communication with parents is excellent - we're always kept up to date on our child's progress and daily activities, and it's lovely to see how much thought goes into every part of their learning journey.


The atmosphere at the nursery is filled with joy, creativity, and kindness. Our child looks forward to going every day, and we've seen such wonderful growth in their language, confidence, and curiosity.

We are very glad that our daughter started her first steps into the world of letters and reading in Priory.
The teachers are very kind, committed and attentive to the kids' needs and progress.
Also, the head of school is also prompt to hear from the parents, which is very important for us.
Thanks,
Priory!

Our daughter loves to go to nursery every day and she developed so much with the care and support from her teachers in the room.
A couple of things I would recommend to improve would be meals and snacks - could have some more healthier choices.
The facility is slightly dated.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have always had a fantastic experience with Priory Poppets with both of our children. The staff were particularly attentive when the children started and I felt reassured at the natural bonds both the children made with their key workers. Poppets have encouraged the development of both children with
their different personalities and interests at the different stages with the variety of experiences the children have had, from day-to-day learning activities to additional ones e.g. Forest SchoolTennis, Bhangra Tots and Glowbugs to mention just a few. Both children have always been happy and well cared for emotionally and flourished in the nurturing environment of Priory Poppets. Staff have always been responsive to any requests and have been very pro-natural term breastfeeding which has meant so much to us. We would highly recommend Priory Poppets as a nursery for your child.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Priory Poppets. From the moment we enrolled our child, we felt welcomed and reassured. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional, always going the extra mile to ensure that every child feels safe, happy, and engaged.
The learning environment
is both nurturing and stimulating, filled with a variety of activities that keep our little one excited to go to nursery every day. We've noticed significant growth in our child's social skills, confidence, and enthusiasm for learning. The communication between the nursery and parents is excellent, with regular updates on our child's progress, upcoming events, and daily activities. We truly appreciate how much effort the team puts into creating a warm and inclusive community.
We highly recommend Priory Poppets to any parent looking for a loving and enriching environment for their child. It's a wonderful place that feels like a second home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My younger son has just completed his time in Priory Poppets and will be moving into Priory Prep in September.
He has enjoyed his time in nursery and has loved every day. Priory helped settle him into his new routine following his adoption into our family and they played a huge part in making him
feel safe, secure and loved.
We chose Priory for our first son (also adopted) as they had a reputation for looking after the pastoral side of the children and not purely being an institution to push passing entrance exams (though I hasten to add that my eldest aced all of his entrance exams without the need for additional tuition). With this success both pastorally and academically, it is a no-brainer that we now continue there with our youngest, and so far it has been the right choice.

I'm a parent to 2 children in Priory Poppets and I can't recommend this amazing nursery highly enough. The nursery staff are excellent and have an intimate knowledge of every child and their needs.
They have wonderful, picturesque and extensive grounds with their own forest area which they utilise
in their weekly forest school sessions. They provide a very wide variety of activities and both of my children love coming to nursery every morning. They have access to the Edgbaston Priory Club for indoor swimming sessions, and if they choose to transition to the senior school the use of a world-class tennis centre. They also have 51 week aftercare provision which has been invaluable to us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) out of 10 for Priory Poppets Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.824 for Priory Poppets Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (290 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.824
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Priory Poppets Nursery is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 101 number of registered child places is 20.2, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
