Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Birmingham Central is a modern, purpose built nursery located within the grounds of Aston University, offering a bright, welcoming environment in the heart of the city. Designed with busy families in mind, the nursery benefits from ample on site parking, making drop offs and pick ups simple and convenient.
The single storey setting features a spacious and airy welcome area, complete with comfortable seating for parents and carers. Throughout the nursery, each room has been thoughtfully designed to feel open, calm, and full of natural light, with large windows and glass doors creating bright learning spaces where children can feel relaxed, engaged, and ready to explore.
The nursery’s generous outdoor area spans the full width of the building, providing children with plenty of space to play, discover, and develop their confidence outdoors. The garden combines green, tree lined spaces with large tarmac play areas, alongside climbing equipment and a slide to encourage active play and physical development. Despite its central Birmingham location, the outdoor space feels private, peaceful, and wonderfully secluded.
Overall, the nursery offers a clean, modern environment with carefully planned learning spaces that support children’s curiosity, independence, and development from the very beginning.
On-site car park available for convenient drop-off and pick-up.

Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week.

You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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.

I am so grateful that my child attended this nursery during our short stay in Birmingham. My baby's first few weeks were challenging both for her and for the staff due to it being her first time away from family . Through the settling in period up until when she started fully, the staff were nothing short of amazing. I can say wholeheartedly that my baby received the best care possible. She was loved, nurtured and cared for much beyond my expectations even through the days she would be sick from crying. The staff were always quick to reassure me in addition to the updates on the parent app. Her language and sensory development while attending the nursery makes me so happy and I'm thankful to each and every single staff who made my baby's time memorable.

I urgently needed childcare a month before my daughter was due to start reception. The Manager walked us through all the steps and the nursery lady was amazing in helping my little one settle in. The nursery is very neat, well equipped, has both outdoor and indoor play facilities and the carers are all very engaging and kind. My little one looked forward to going to nursery every day.
We will miss Ashbourne and wish everyone the very best.

My daughter is currently at this nursery and previously my son was too. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough. The staff are fantastic and the manager goes above and beyond. My daughter is thriving and has already learned so much thanks to the helpful, friendly, and child-focused staff team. The location is great, as the nursery is purpose-built. As mentioned the manager couldn't do enough, she got stuck in with everything. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is that I am not keen on the parent app they use, however, that's not a reflection on the great care they provide.

The nursery operates at high standards, providing to kids not only basic care but also promoting their development. My child is very happy there and I can see her progress in different areas. The nursery staff organise a lot of activities, and theme days, and encourage kids' knowledge of the world. The only thing that might need to be slightly improved is the parent's app, but with current technologies, I believe that is only a matter of time. Overall - very happy!

I am happy with the nursery, its staff, and its overall setting. The nursery staff cares about my daughter's development and provides regular updates. My daughter likes to be there, to play with their friends. There is a nice outdoor space - not many nurseries in the city centre have a garden. As a recommendation for improvement, I would suggest updating the app on everyday kids' activities to be a bit more informative.
