King's St Alban's Nursery is a brand-new nursery and pre-school in the heart of Worcester city centre.

The nursery forms an integral part of King's St Alban's Prep School - an established and thriving independent school which is part of the King's foundation.

The nursery offers a warm and welcoming environment for pre-school children aged two to four, with excellent indoor and outdoor facilities within the modern, purpose-built pre-prep site.

Working closely with the early years foundation stage teaching team, the experienced nursery staff stimulate young minds and encourage a love of learning through an exciting programme of free play and teacher-led activities, helping children to thrive while they prepare for their transition to school.

The King's School has an extensive range of indoor and outdoor facilities for nursery children to enjoy, including an exciting forest school, spacious outdoor gardens and learning zones, an early years library, and a stunning purpose-built pre-prep hall.

Whether children enjoy imaginative role-play, exploring outdoors, reading and drawing, or expressing themselves through movement and dance, there really is something for everyone at King's St Alban's.

The King's Toddler group takes place at King's St Alban's every Wednesday during term time from 9:30 am - 10.45 am, for toddlers and their parents or carers.

It’s been a great experience for my daughter that has attended King's St Alban's Nursery since a year ago. All the staff are really nice and look after our child quite well, always careful for the well-being of all kids. Highly recommend to other parents to consider St Alban's as a nursery for their
kids.

My daughter has been attending King's St Alban's Nursery since she was 2 years old and she is now in her preschool year and they are doing a great job, getting her ready for school.
The nursery staff are kind, caring and very experienced. I can’t praise every one of them highly enough. My daughter
is quite an anxious child with a few quirks and all the staff seem to know and understand her really well. They go out of their way to accommodate her needs.
I wish this nursery had existed when my older children were little.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter has been going to this nursery for almost a year and we were quite anxious for her to start as she didn’t have a support network outside of us until then. They were really supportive, especially at the start and they really seemed to know each child individually and try and get the best
out of each child. As an example, our daughter is a bit more observant and they noticed she thrives more in smaller groups so they try and create that environment for her to enable her to build her confidence. She loves forest school and the meals make me quite jealous I have to say! It’s a relief to leave her in a safe environment with people who clearly care about the kids and make an effort to give them a nourishing environment every day!

King's St Alban's Nursery is an amazing nursery with lovely, warm, fun and engaging staff. It provides a safe, stimulating and caring environment for the children.
Our little boy loves going to nursery every day and comes home with lots of stories about the interesting things he's done.
The staff
identified issues with our son's eyesight very early and alerted us to it, which has helped us to manage the issue sooner.

Every interaction with the nursery demonstrates excellent knowledge and awareness of my son. They understand his personality and strengths. Always providing excellent summaries of how his day has been. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and a part of the community. The standard of care
is exceptional and whenever you drop off or collect them you feel the warmth and energy. The nursery provides a wide range of activities as part of their programme and my son thoroughly enjoys his time there. They have excellent all day care and communicate really well through class dojo and emails. Always responding to any questions with prompt answers. I have no issues in recommending the nursery and the care provided.

My granddaughter has been attending this nursery for the last 14 months and quite simply is having the most wonderful time. She can’t wait to get there in the morning. The teachers are absolutely fantastic. Friendly, caring, attentive, fun etc. All the children look happy and content no matter what
time of the day I have been there. My granddaughter has grown from strength to strength both socially and with her early learning. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

King's St Alban's Nursery is a really wonderful place. My son is severely short-sighted - we were only able to diagnose it after the amazing nursery practitioners noticed that he seemed to be struggling with reading and other classroom activities. His whole world has been transformed because they were
so quick to pick it up. He couldn't be happier there and is developing at an incredible pace. We are so grateful for their continued support - I have recently returned to work and they made the transition seamless! Couldn't recommend it more.

King's St Alban's Nursery is in a league of its own My little girl couldn't have been more happy there.
The manager and her team are experienced, professional and, most importantly, kind - I always knew my little girl was being looked after as if one of their own. They encourage them to try new things
and be the best they can be while being reassuring and tending to their emotional needs.
An all-round brilliant nursery, setting and team.

Our son started King's St Alban's Nursery at age 2, now due to start Reception. There were generous settling in sessions which meant no tears when he started. Staff managed his picky eating with practical, caring solutions and because of the new school caterers, he seems to eat all sorts. Plenty of
activities and lots of learning seems to take place. We found the staff to be enthusiastic, caring and to provide care individualised to each child. Our son has been very happy at nursery here. Highly recommended.

King’s St Albans is a fabulous nursery - my son is so happy there. The staff are very experienced and they are so kind and engaged with the children. They have dealt with any developmental phases excellently, suggesting solutions and being so patient with my son. The activities are great - river walks,

Our daughter started King's St Alban's Nursery last April. We are absolutely thrilled with our her time here. She looks forward to going and has built really positive relationships with the staff. The staff are always very friendly and supportive. We receive excellent communication and updates on her
development too.
The days are always filled with lovely activities and things to look forward to. The school has some wonderful facilities, including Forest School - a real highlight! They take advantage of its beautiful setting, nestled next to the river and the cathedral. Our daughter enjoys these visits and others too. It really is a wonderful nursery.

My daughters have been attending since September and they have settled in really well. The staff are welcoming, friendly and engaging with a clear passion for what they do which is evident in the atmosphere of the nursery. My daughters have really gained confidence since coming to King's and they really
look forward to each session with enthusiasm, often not wanting to leave when it's time! They are full of stories from their session and excitement which is so lovely to see. We were a little anxious about leaving the girls as they had not spent much time away from us at all due to the pandemic. We saw a couple of nurseries but none of them gave us 'the feeling'. King's St Alban's felt right, it has a warmth to it that is difficult to put into words and we would absolutely recommend it!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for King's St Alban's 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.922 for King's St Alban's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (345 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.922

  • 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 King's St Alban's Nursery is based on 31 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 31 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.
