  • The Nursery at Tettenhall College, Wolverhampton
The Nursery and Pre-School at Tettenhall College is set within 33-acres of stunning grounds in the picturesque village of Tettenhall offering children an exceptional start to their learning journey.

The facilities are first rate and completely unrivaled in the local area. Young learners enjoy enriching experiences across the school's extensive campus. From weekly woodland walks in Forest School and story time in the beautiful library, to performing on stage in the historic Victorian theatre and swimming lessons for pre-school children in the onsite indoor pool, children are immersed in a dynamic learning environment.

Each child benefits from a carefully curated development profile, enabling teachers to tailor learning experiences within a warm, nurturing, family-focused environment. Teachers work closely with parents to ensure they can follow their child’s development through real-time updates via the Tapestry app, parent workshops and parents’ evenings.

The experienced and dedicated early years team, outstanding facilities and child-centred ethos provide a truly unique foundation for learning. Children follow a traditional yet flexible curriculum. Reading is a core part of the day, fostering a love for books from the very beginning. Children also follow the same maths and phonics schemes as the rest of the school and enjoy lessons in the music room.

The Nursery offers wraparound care including a breakfast club and a holiday club, ensuring flexibility for families beyond term time.

Community is at the heart of Tettenhall College, and from the very start younger learners participate in whole school events such as sports day and charity initiatives. The school is proud of the diverse and inclusive ethos, celebrating all faiths and cultures within the classroom.

Tettenhall College warmly invites you to discover the endless opportunities that the Nursery at Tettenhall College has to offer.

Tettenhall College nursery is a wonderful nursery. From the moment we took our daughter for her settling in day she absolutely loved it, she was always smiling and it lives up to it's ethos of being a family school. All the staff are wonderful and we had complete confidence that she was looked after.
The facilities are excellent, the nursery setting allows the children to explore indoor and outdoor play area safely and they then have access to the amazing forest and grounds. Our daughter progressed through to prep school where she is now and still has a smile every day.

What an amazing experience my son has had here. He started in prep a very shy and quiet boy who could barely speak. In the space of 2 years I now have a confident little boy who has an incredible imagination. The pastoral care is exceptional here and they truly get the best out of your child. The trips,
classroom experiences and the sports available are extensive too. I now have a daughter who will absolutely attend the school I have been so impressed

Reply from Mrs Baldock, Head of Early Years at The Nursery at Tettenhall College

It's truly heartwarming to hear of your experience in our Nursery. Your son is growing up into such a kind and happy boy and it's wonderful to see his confidence shine through. It's a privilege to witness that growth and be part of it as he continues his journey with us into Preparatory School.

Outstanding Preschool Experience at Tettenhall College.
My granddaughter started at Tettenhall College in Preschool Year 2 this September after previously attending another school in Wolverhampton. We moved her because the class sizes were too large, and the school wasn't meeting her needs. Moving
her to Tettenhall College has been the best decision. In just a short time, she has made remarkable progress. The teachers are kind, caring and attentive, ensuring every child reaches their full potential. Extra support is quickly identified, and a plan is put in place. The school offers fantastic opportunities, including Forest School, swimming and music classes. Most importantly, smaller class sizes and a well-structured curriculum create an environment where children truly thrive. A strong early education is vital and many families here make sacrifices to give their children the best start. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend this school.

Reply from Vicky McAllister, Admissions director at The Nursery at Tettenhall College

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much your granddaughter is thriving and has made such excellent progress at TC. We are lucky to have dedicated staff who love their job and help to contribute to the positive experience, as well as superb facilities. Your kind words mean a great deal and we appreciate your trust and confidence in our school.

My son went through this nursery and is now in the Prep school at Tettenhall. He had the most incredible time, his key worker and the rest of the team couldn't do enough for him. The grounds are amazing and the fact he got to use them all was great. I've not come across another nursery with a swimming
pool before, he loved those sessions the most. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

Reply from Mrs Baldock, Head of Early Years at The Nursery at Tettenhall College

We are delighted to hear about the positive experience your family had during your son's time at our Nursery. It has been a pleasure to see him grow and thrive, and we are pleased to continue supporting his educational journey here at the school. Thank you for entrusting us with his early development; it's wonderful to see him enjoying his learning experiences.

My daughter loves attending Tettenhall Nursery, not only has she developed her social skills but their diverse weekly topics and variety of activities including forest school and PE means she is kept active physically and mentally. The nursery staff are great, they create a friendly welcoming environment,
encouraging independence and supporting the children through one-on-one and group activities. I will certainly be sending my son here when he is older.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.469)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.469) out of 10 for The Nursery at Tettenhall College is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 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 4.979 for The Nursery at Tettenhall College is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 4.49 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Nursery at Tettenhall College is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.69

  • 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.
