Bromsgrove Pre-Preparatory and Nursery School is a place where children have a memorable and positive start to their educational journey. It is the early years, from the ages of two to seven, when the educational foundations are laid for everything that follows. Very young children are curious and enthusiastic; they are learning to learn. Bromsgrove's aim is to harness these qualities in an active, stimulating, happy and secure environment. The School nurtures children into confident, well prepared and highly motivated learners who will go on to achieve the best for themselves. At the same time, Bromsgrove also helps them to develop with good manners, self discipline, honesty and consideration for others, working and playing in a positive and rewarding way. The friendly, secure family atmosphere of the School encourages children to become independent learners and caring members of the Bromsgrove community.

Children may start in the Nursery from their second birthday. The Nursery provides a safe, secure, happy and stimulating environment and is set in its own building, within the grounds of Bromsgrove Pre-Preparatory School. The Nursery also offers 30 free hours through the Government Funding Scheme for eligible 3 and 4 year olds.

My daughter started the nursery in September 2024, within the 7 months to date her confidence, social skills and speech have grown so much!
She has made some really good friends within the nursery and their little connections are so beautiful to see.
All the teachers are so wonderful, warm and friendly.
They all have time to talk to parents when needed and support the children so well. They really know my daughter very well. We are very excited to watch and support our daughter continue to grow here.

We have had two children at Bromsgrove Pre-preparatory Nursery school, one who is now about to leave Year 2 and the other in rising 5's, both having been with the Nursery since they were 2.
I cannot recommend the nursery environment enough, from their pastoral support to enabling the children to flourish
academically all whilst in a hugely caring, family environment is something you very rarely see at EYFS.
The staff retention is high, which in our case, has meant the same key workers supporting both my children over the last 5 years, and any new staff joining continue to be the same high calibre, caring individuals who clearly enjoy seeing your child develop. The leadership within the nursey is clearly outstanding, and mirrors the ethos of the who pre-prep school.

Bromsgrove Pre-Prep is a truly wonderful school. Our son commenced in the last year of the nursery and within just a few months he has developed leaps and bounds. He has thrived in a kind, caring and nurturing environment, his language skills and confidence have developed in a short time which I think
is testament to the committed teaching staff and the learning environment. The forest school and the outdoor/indoor spaces have been a wonderful opportunity for balancing exploring, learning and having fun.
Our son is really happy at school. He really enjoys learning each day and seeing his friends and teachers.
The school staff are supportive of the family as a whole and encourage families to be involved in their child's home work and learning, particularly around phonics and navigating around the learning app.
This is a very welcoming school and I would recommend any parent to visit for an open day.

Excellent staff and facilities!
Since we started our daughter at the nursery, we have only had good things to say about the experience. The teachers go above and beyond to make the children and parents happy and comfortable. The updates are lovely, seeing what the children have been up to and we love
the focus on kindness and respect that the school encourages.

I cannot recommend Bromsgrove Pre-Preparatory and Nursery enough, having attended a day nursery prior to starting, I believed that my child was being properly looked after and was flourishing, when in actual fact he was massively unhappy there. He started at Bromsgrove in September 2024, and now he
is excited to see everyone and regularly runs into nursery ahead of me, he's pulling his coat off as he walks in through the door. All of the teachers and staff know him and welcome him in to nursery in the morning which is lovely.
The setting is wonderful and there is a huge outdoor space for him to explore and enjoy along with forest school which he really enjoys.
He eats well and even though I cook properly for him at home, I know he's getting a proper meal at school as well, which is prepared on-site and not something bought in from an external provider.
You are also eligible for the free childcare hours and tax-free child care at Bromsgrove which is fantastic.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.445)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.445) out of 10 for Bromsgrove Pre-Preparatory and Nursery 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 4.4 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 5.000 for Bromsgrove Pre-Preparatory and Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.445 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bromsgrove Pre-Preparatory and Nursery 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.645

  • 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.
