Both of my boys attend at Paul's and I could not be happier with the care they receive. The range of activities is excellent, communication is great and the building is lovely with lots of outdoor space and gots in the back garden! Most importantly the staff are my children's favourite people - it really
is a place where each child is loved and valued. Any difficulties the boys have faced have been fully supported by St Paul's in a child-centred and caring way (at times really going above and beyond) and we are really glad to have them as part of our family's support network.

Reply from Tracey Newton, Nursery Manager at St Paul's Nursery

Thank you so much for such positive feedback. We are proud of the relationships we build with our families and the impact this has.

The nursery is very supportive, helping with his vocabulary development. He clearly enjoys his time and finds it stimulating.
It appears to be a safe and happy place with facilities well-matched to the children's needs.

Excellent nursery with great facilities and wonderful staff. Situated next to St Pauls's Farm it's perfect for the children. My autistic daughter attended there and was really happy. We (as parents) were delighted with the due care and diligence of all the staff. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend anyone who is thinking of sending their child to this nursery to definitely put them in this nursery. Beautiful location right next to the city farm which they always bring the children over to. The staff are amazing! Very polite, kind and caring but are always very professional and
always go above and beyond to make sure your children are looked after. If any issues occur for your child or you as a parent or a carer have/will be dealt with until satisfied thoroughly. My two babies attended St Paul's and they have been given the most confidence start up in life. Really appreciate all they have done for me and my babies.

Cannot recommend or praise the staff enough for the care, attention and genuine concern they have for the children and their wellbeing. The facilities and farm on site are an added bonus. St Paul's is home away from home for our children and it has always been a weight off knowing that our children
are looked after, happy and thriving there. As my child moves onto school, it breaks my heart a little knowing she won't receive the same amount of love and attention in a school setting as she is used to receiving here, but it has certainly set her up for the best start. Thank you so much for all that you do.

Both of my sons (ages 1 and 2.5) absolutely adore their time spent at St. Paul's Nursery. They are deeply bonded with their key workers who care for and nurture them with amazing love and compassion. The staff are amazing and provide an unparalleled level of skill at creating an incredible environment
where the children learn through play and have enough freedom to develop their independence. My children learn and blossom with every day spent at the nursery. I highly recommend St Paul's!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son recently started St Paul’s Nursery and we have had an amazing experience so far. I was quite reluctant to send him to a day nursery at such a young age, but the staff have been wonderful. He had two weeks to settle into the nursery, which helped him and myself to get to know the staff and the
routines etc.
My main worry about sending my son to a day nursery was that he wouldn’t get the attention, love or care that a family would provide. Since sending him to St Paul’s, my heart is at peace knowing all the staff really care about him and have built a really good relationship with him and not just the carers in his group.
My son was a very fussy eater before he started nursery, but now he is eating things I never thought he would. He has made so much progress in such a small space of time and it is due to the attention and care of all the staff members at St Paul’s.
I would highly recommend St Paul’s!

Reply from Tracey Newton, Nursery Manager at St Paul's Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review, which I will feed back to the nursery team. Developing strong relationships with children and their families to ensure that they feel secure, happy and confident is always our primary aim.

I just wanted to say congratulations on such a successful graduation event you and your fabulous team hosted. The children all looked adorable in their fancy dresses and graduation hats. The concert was heartwarming.
The party was greatly planned with jam-packed activities for the kids. I’m sure all
the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves, I know my daughter, her brother and cousins had an amazing time. A special thank you to the two ladies, they have made my daughter's time at nursery a memorable one. They have helped her develop and flourish. They have given her the confidence and independence she needs in setting up a strong foundation for the academic years that awaits her. She adores all the members of staff. Finally, a very big thank you from me. Knowing she was in a safe, caring and loving environment made it easier for me to leave her with you. The staff are passionate and dedicated to their jobs which is clearly visible in their behaviour.

After trying to contact another nursery in the Moseley area and receiving very little communication, we were recommended to look at St Paul's by a friend. We called that morning, and by 10 am, we were welcome to take a tour of the nursery. Excellent communication from the start.
We felt an instant
sense of family when taking the tour, and our daughter instantly felt happy to explore her surroundings. It was a no-brainer that we decided this was the nursery for her.
The nursery is clean, and the food selection is fantastic, with mouth-watering smells coming from the kitchen daily.
Having the farm on the same grounds is a huge bonus, as the children have a great connection to the animals and the community that the farm brings.
The staff are all so kind and create a warm, loving environment for the children. It truly feels like a home away from home which is a testament to the environment everyone who works there creates.
Take a look around - you won't be disappointed! 10/10!

I have been using this nursery for over ten years. All four of my children attended St Paul's. The rapport that my family has built over the years will last forever. My teenage children still get excited to go there when their younger sibling is being dropped off or being collected.

It is such a privilege to build relationships with our families and, as a result, see children thriving both at nursery and as they move on to school.

St Paul's is a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending there for nearly two years, and it feels like a second home! The staff are all friendly, and they always give me a thoughtful handover so that I know how he's been and what special things he's been up to. There's an onsite farm that the children
visit, and they grow vegetables, which the children then get to eat. The nursery chef cooks amazing food!
We have regular stays and plays with the nursery so that I can see my son's progress and raise any concerns I might have. It's great to see him in the environment with his friends and to get a feel for how he spends his days.
I would recommend this nursery 1000%; it's the best nursery in Birmingham!

According to my visit and my nephew's learning with them, I can say it's the perfect nursery as they look after the children, teach them and always ask about them.
So you can't judge a book by its cover - try it, then judge. I recommend it to friends, family and strangers.

My son started nursery in Oct 2021 and has come a long way since. The staff have been brilliant in helping him to settle in. They have supported and guided him in all aspects of learning, especially with his communication and language. The setting is quite spacious and there are a range of activities
for children to explore throughout the day. My son loves it here. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Great nursery for children. Polite staff. Open from 08:00 till 6 pm. Fees are competitive. The best thing about this nursery is they have a farm on-site where children can visit and feed the animals. The nursery has large playgrounds, and most importantly, the kids enjoy every day when they attend.
Totally recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for St Paul's Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.847 for St Paul's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.847

  • b) 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 4.948 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Paul's Nursery is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.948

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
