I've been sending my child to Edgbaston Nursery School since they were 8 months old, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured, and it was clear that they were dedicated to providing the best care and early education possible.
The team at Edgbaston Nursery School are incredibly attentive and nurturing, ensuring that my child feels safe with an educational environment. I've seen significant growth, especially in language development and confidence, all thanks to their structured yet caring approach. The facilities are fantastic-bright, clean, and spacious, with plenty of indoor and outdoor areas that encourage exploration. I love that they also provide healthy, balanced meals, which gives me peace of mind knowing my child is getting the nutrition they need.

What can I say, Edgbaston Nursery School has helped me and my daughter grow so much since she was just over a year old.
I’m excited for the next chapter but it’s bittersweet to be saying goodbye to the people that have contributed so much to the happiness and learning of my daughter.
The staff and
management are warm, understanding and so knowledgeable. I always felt I could be honest with them and I always felt they gave their best at work.
Keep going all of you. Me and my daughter will never forget you.

Fantastic nursery. The staff are always going the extra mile. My son is in Preschool, he is always happy and loves going to nursery, this is definitely down to the positive staff interaction with the children, amazing well-thought activities and extra outdoors nursery trips! Thank you for allowing my
son to have an amazing time at nursery! We will cherish his time here forever. The managers are always available for any help and very accommodating.

My 2 year old has attended the nursery since he was 16 weeks old and the reason I picked this nursery is how nurturing and calm it felt when I visited. I am very happy with the level of care and the curriculum of the nursery, my son is thriving, loves his nursery, loves his teachers and all his friends.
He is always excited to come in and excited to tell me all about the things they do on the day. The communication of the staff is amazing, you can tell they really enjoy working there and the involvement of the parents is also high.

My son has been attending since he was 4 months old and now he is 16 months. He loves it there. The nursery ladies as well as other members of staff are absolutely amazing. My son has learnt a whole lot and developed well with their help. There is always genuine concern for children’s welfare as well
as that of the parents which is amazing and I also love that they make parents aware of all the learning experiences and curriculum.

My daughter attended the nursery from 2 years old, she has now left for school. We are really going to miss it. The staff are so welcoming and caring. The learning environment is enriching and has provided my daughter with lovely positive experiences that she can take away. I love that we could communicate
with the staff and management with ease and they provide a supportive network for your child. The food options are great and they allowed my daughter to try new healthy things which I now provide at home. Towards leaving for school they help prepare your child in taking the transition and build their confidence and independence. I just want to thank you all for your support. I will be back when baby gets a little bigger.

Amazing staff who always go out of their way to take care of my child who has special needs. Can't thank them enough, for the love and support they have shown us parents and our child throughout our time at the nursery. They were always accommodating to any additional changes that were required, even
at short notice due to work commitments and when travelling abroad.
A heartfelt thank you to you all!

Choosing a nursery as a first-time mother returning to work was quite stressful, but as soon as I walked into Edgbaston Nursery School I knew I had found it. I was amazed and instantly felt a sense of calm. The staff were very welcoming and informative and after having a few settling-in sessions I chose
to send my child there. I was not disappointed, 3 years later she is moving onto reception I believe having had the best start. The staff are amazing and my daughter has thrived, I cannot thank them all enough. There are so many wonderful things to say but not enough space! I would 100% recommend Edgbaston Nursery School and have already done so with friends and family.

My daughter attended Edgbaston Nursery & Preschool for 3 years, she has recently left to start school in September. I can't thank you, everybody, enough at the setting for providing my daughter with the best care and experiences over the last few years and I have had the pleasure of being involved throughout
her learning journey as the parent partnership is also amazing. My 9-month-old son is due to start the nursery in November and I am excited for him to begin his journey here with the amazing staff!

We moved to Birmingham from Kent 2 years ago and I was very confused regarding the selection of a nursery for my daughter. As she was moving Nursery it was difficult to make her feel comfortable and settled in a new place. But I am more than happy that I selected Edgbaston Nursery and Preschool which
proved to be the best place for my daughter. I was surprised to see her settling in the new setting within days. All staff at the nursery was very polite, helpful and cooperative for her. She started from early learners and moved to preschool. She loved her teachers and made a lot of new friends. It made my mind at great ease and I was very comfortable with her carers. Their way of connecting with children is excellent making them learn new things and skills in a fun environment. I would like to wish all the very best to Edgbaston Nursery and Preschool and a big Thank You to all of them for making my daughter feel much loved and cared for.

I think it was the best decision to choose Edgbaston Nursery & Preschool as my baby’s first school. All the teachers and staff in this school are so polite, well behaved and they are so pro in managing kids starting from weeks baby to toddlers. I have seen my baby developing step by step starting from
socialising to learning new things to being independent to communicating and so on and so forth. This is a place where my baby loved to go and used to be so excited every single day. This place has given us as parents and my kid innumerable memories to cherish for. My kid and us we still miss this nursery and the teachers. Honestly, as a mother I have been totally satisfied with this nursery. My love and best wishes to the entire team of Edgbaston Nursery & Preschool.

Edgebaston Nursery and Preschool is a friendly and welcoming nursery with high standards. Indoor and outdoor areas are stimulating for children. The garden has lots of fun things to do, including the tree house slide, which my daughter particularly loved. The staff are engaging and interactive, actively
developing the children's abilities. The day activities are fed back daily- painting, drawing, crafts and baking, to name a few. Good parent, child, nursery interactiveness with various events to which parents are invited to. The food options are excellent, with the onsite chef cooking fresh meals every day and with quite a variety of dishes per week, which is great for developing little ones palates. The cost is reasonable, in line with surrounding nurseries. An all round great nursery, which I would highly recommend. Well done Edgebaston Nursery, and thank you for taking such good care of my little one.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.603)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.603) out of 10 for Edgbaston Nursery School 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.965 for Edgbaston Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.965

  • 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 4.638 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edgbaston Nursery School 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.638

  • 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.
