  • Merryvale Day Nursery, Halesowen
Merryvale Day Nursery in Halesowen enables children to have fun and develop new skills.

Children can choose a variety of activities suitable for their age group every day such as sand, water, paint, books, puzzles, music and imaginative play as well as adult-led activities.

Each child has a member of staff to relate to within their care group.

When the children enter the nursery they are given a booklet for parents to fill in about their child, a blue Learning Journal which goes between nursery and home to fill in development milestones and an evidence booklet which staff fill with photos and observations of developmental stages.

Children develop in confidence and have lots of fun doing it in a safe, rich, learning environment.

I was so nervous to send my son to nursery but Merryvale couldn't have been better. They facilitated a quick turnaround after I was let down by another provider and the transition was so simple. They've been nothing but kind and welcoming. My son is flourishing and I am so delighted that he is in such
a nurturing environment. I highly recommend that anyone considering Merryvale definitely take the leap - you won't look back!

My son absolutely loves coming to Merryvale Nursery. He first joined when he was 7 months old and I was really worried as a first-time mum however, all the staff are super supportive and communicate really well. My son has thrived during his time here. The setting is clean, he has a great choice of
healthy meals and I love that he gets to explore all the different activities the nursery sets out every day. So much thought goes into all of the learning stages and we couldn’t be more pleased. Big shout out to all the staff, especially the baby room and management.

Would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone who is currently looking for a place for their child! The staff are excellent, both my children love going to nursery and they come home talking about their day and how much fun they have had. They are learning new things every day and the staff have been
really supportive towards their development. The management team are really good and helpful. They are very hands-on! I can’t thank the staff enough for what they do!

My little girl has been here for a few months now. Staff are all very pleasant and always willing to help. They have a varied menu which is on display in the entrance and they do a lot of activities which are updated on the app. My little girl comes home every day clean and tidy, we can definitely see
a difference in development since starting here and she's so happy. It’s nice that there’s always the same staff there, there isn’t a high staff turnover which has been reassuring to us. She has an excellent key worker who we have great communication with. Never had any complaints with the care we’ve received. Staff are alert with regards to safeguarding the children and have appropriate procedures in place. The manager is always approachable and on the end of the phone, as is another member of staff.
My only very slight concern is that it feels it’s becoming corporate as they have a few nurseries now. We chose Merryvale as it had a homely feel, we really hope that’s not lost.

My daughter has been going here since she was 10 months old, she loves going here and has never had a tear when dropping her off. They always have something planned for them to do and keep parents well updated through the app. I know she’s well taken care of all day and couldn’t be happier with my choice
of nursery.

I am very pleased with my experience at Merryvale Day Nursery. My son loves it and is always happy to attend. He has been attending since he was 7 months and has grown a lot ever since. His key worker is amazing and loves him very much and takes good care of him. This gives me so much peace of mind.
It's never easy leaving a child and going off to work but they sure make it easier.

My daughter loves going to Merryvale! As soon as that door opens, she runs in. The staff are so friendly, and you can see they really care about the kids! They use an app to keep you updated on what they have been doing, eating/drinking and keeping you informed on toileting, which is so lovely during
the day at work!

My little one thoroughly enjoys nursery and has a brilliant learning journey. Her days are filled with activities that I continue at home. The app is really insightful. All the team at Merryvale are very polite, friendly and informative. Overall, it's a fantastic place to send my child. I love the newsletters;
they are really useful and correlate to things happening during the calendar year, involving games and fancy dress. My little one has great relationships with her peers and overall, is encouraged and supported and has made amazing friends.

Lovely nursery. Staff are approachable and try to encourage family involvement as much as possible. My child has settled in well since the age of one, made some wonderful friends, and our second will be starting there shortly. Would recommend it as a nice, local nursery.

My son started in this nursery 10 months ago, and we are very happy. Staff are friendly and have strong bonds with children. Every day he has exciting new organised activities that can be messy, painting, slime, play-doh, sand etc. Children are encouraged to play outside in all weather and explore nature.
Children are taken on organised trips to the library, park, postbox, and on the bus to local woods. I love the online parent diaries that show photos of his day and notes from staff. I am confident my child is happy and safe here; he is well cared for and well fed, and he doesn't come home hungry, which is why we moved from his previous childcare setting. Strongly recommend.

Both my children have or are attending Merryvale Day Nursery and they are a brilliant nursery and the staff are wonderful.
My children love the nursery and always have lots of fun. Plenty of activities for them to do.
The staff always listen to me as a parent if I have ever raised a concern and
are always great with any medical issues my children have had.

My son loves coming to nursery. The ladies are so lovely when he was upset the first couple of weeks whilst he was getting used to it. His speech has come on leaps and bounds and they provide a range of different foods and snacks. I love how they take them out to places like the forest, the library
or even just for little walks around the block. They have a wonderful outdoor space which my boy enjoys also. He absolutely adores his keyworker. She and the other ladies are phenomenal with the children and make sure they're always learning through play. I'd recommend this nursery to everyone!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.006)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.006) out of 10 for Merryvale Day 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.806 for Merryvale Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.806

  • 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 4.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Merryvale Day Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.6

  • 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.
