So, where do I start on Fairytales? I want to preface this by saying that I am naturally a very anxious person. I spent hours trying to find the best nursery for my now 4 year old. Fairytales was recommended to me along with other nurseries and I think it's safe to say that I made the best choice I
could've for my child.My child has built bonds with all of the teachers that she's had. The nursery are constantly doing school trips and fun days, also embracing other cultures by dedicating days towards different religious events. Looking around the rooms there's plenty of toys and activities for the kids to do, including a sensory room. The nursery have also upgraded their garden and I believe baby rooms recently and I haven't personally seen the baby rooms but the garden is lovely and full of things for the kids to do. Overall, we are sad that my daughter will be leaving to go to big school this year. Nutritious food, family environment and lots of fun is what you can expect at Fairytales

The nursery is absolutely incredible, picked up on my son possibly having additional needs within two months of him being there. The staff are so lovely and friendly and my son is so happy, me and his father are so happy we chose fairytales.

We couldn't have chosen a better nursery for our little boy than Fairytales Nursery. All staff are exceptional and can not be praised enough. Our son has been flourishing since joining in February 2024. He goes to nursery smiling in the morning and comes home exactly the same. What more could you ask
for!
I would recommend Fairytales to anyone and everyone.

Where do I start, I purely chose Fairytales as it was very convenient for me at the time of looking. From the day my son started, we felt very welcomed by all staff. It really is a home from home, they are always holding one event or another which has been fantastic I've had comments from friends stating
how much our nursery does. Hats off to one of the staff members, she arranges it all even days out for families to meet up. Once my son leaves I will be very sad they have become family. He loves his time here and it's quite clear from seeing how happy the other children are they're doing a fab job! But won't be the last of me once my son leaves once baby 4 is here I won't need to look around for a nursery we will be back.

Entrusting your little one to someone else's care is never easy, but Fairytales made the transition seamless and filled with warmth. The "family feel environment" they promise is not just a tagline; it's a daily reality. The staff welcomed us, taking the time to understand our family dynamics and tailor
their care to suit us. The bond my daughter formed with her key workers was palpable - one of her 1st words being the name of her caregiver! They offer a diverse range of activities and environments for children to explore and learn from. Great communication, with daily updates, including photos and videos. As someone who works in education and safeguarding, I have high standards - but they have not only met but exceeded every expectation. Safeguarding is their utmost priority, ensuring that every child is safe, secure, and loved. Childcare may come with a price tag, but the peace of mind knowing that my daughter is thriving in such a caring, safe and educational environment is priceless.

My daughter has attended Fairytales for nearly 4 months. My daughter is enjoying her time at the nursery, she gets to learn and interact with other children around her age group. Her development has increased since starting the nursery. I highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has attended Fairytales for just over a year now. When she started she had a speech delay and struggled to interact with strangers. My daughter is now on track with her speech, confidence and targets. This is all thanks to the wonderful staff at Fairytales. They also recognise parents' needs
as well as the child's, offering support to me whenever I need it.

Fairytales Nursery in Great Barr is truly special, like an extension of our family home. The way the workers interact with my child is fantastic. They're professional and caring and make my child's learning experience truly exciting.
But what's even more amazing is how they understand and help my
kid, who speaks multiple languages. He is a bit unsure about speaking in English, but they don't just sit back. The staff really did their best to help him; we even worked out some translation sheets to encourage his speech. I'm really grateful for leaving him at Fairytales, as I know he feels safe and comfortable. It's wonderful to know my child is developing himself and getting the chance to interact with his peers. It’s never easy for a first-time mum to leave my kids more than a nursery; they are part of my son’s education. The point that could be improved though is the paperless process. Fairytales use a good online system like the other nurseries but give access only to very basic information about the child. All curricula are on paper. Other than that in my eyes, Fairytales Nursery is not just “good” but outstanding! I highly recommend it to all parents looking for a wonderful place for their child. It's where dreams come true!

My daughter has been at Fairytales Nursery since she was 10 months old and is now in her final year there. The staff are fantastic always very friendly and welcoming. Her development has been amazing since she has been with Fairytales. We are always updated on pick up how her day has been, what she
has eaten if she has slept and also on the blossom app which is amazing.
Her key workers have been fantastic. Also the Manger for her great communication with parents and for keeping the nursery notice boards up to date and looking bright and wonderful.
My daughter loves Fairytales, and would definitely recommend them.

My first daughter went to a brilliant nursery. So when my second baby was looking to start I was very apprehensive because we had such a brilliant experience before. Fairytales reassured me and have always listened to what I want for my baby. Yes, they listen to parents. My daughter settled in so well
at seven months. She smiles when she knows she is going to nursery. I'm so happy with Fairytales because I know my daughter is getting the best care. The staff are professional and approachable. Highly recommended.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a year and a half now. Her development has come on so much during this time and she has built good connections with other children and staff. She loves going to nursery. Prior to new management taking over I felt disconnected with the nursery and staff
although covid played a big part in this. Since changes have been implemented and we are allowed in, I feel confident & happy with the nursery. All of the staff are lovely.

I am new to Birmingham and also a first-time mother. We chose this nursery after our 1st viewing of all the nurseries. Our heart was set on this nursery as we felt our baby would be safe and comfortable. My baby enjoys the nursery and the most important is the staff communication is excellent, uploading
photos of our baby's activities and always keeping us informed. I would recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for 2 years now. She started at 10 months old. I cannot thank the Fairytales staff enough. They put my mind at ease and it was evident in all their teachings they provided the best of care. My daughter was taught independence from a young age and that is all
thanks to the staff. She is now thriving in the older room. I feel at ease knowing she is being well looked after whilst I am at work. Thank you to the whole team.

My daughter has been going to nursery at Fairytales Nursery for over 2 years, I’m am very sad she is leaving for school this summer. I do not know where to start as I am really upset she is leaving, and hope for the best for her new chapter of life going into reception. Fairytales has been my daughters
first, and last, nursery and it has been like her home as she was full time at nursery. From the directors, management team, and all practitioners they have all been amazing! I cannot fault anyone, my daughter started with being in nappies and now is fully toilet trained. Her talking and speech has come along so well, as well doing so well with her learning of number recognition, phonics, shapes. I really could not ask for a better nursery as she will go to sleep after a day, and will ask if she is going to nursery the following morning. She is always happy going and coming back from nursery with lots to say. Thank you all xxx

Reply from Jenna Williams, Director at Fairytales Nursery

Thank you so much mom for taking the time to do a lovely review, it is so beautiful to read. I will pass on this to the team as it is so nice for them to know what an amazing job they are doing with your princess.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Fairytales Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.861 for Fairytales Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.861

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fairytales Nursery is based on 12 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
