Selly Oak Tree Day Nursery

We send our son to this nursery and I can’t recommend it more thoroughly than that! It was opened in October of 2011 and it’s a really, really great place. It’s run by a couple and was formerly a family home but has been converted by the husband, who was previously a builder, to a really high standard. There are lots of lovely touches throughout the nursery, including a wooden play shop built into one of the rooms. He’s now the chef and prepares all the children’s meals fresh each day and the food always smells great. My son eats 2 portions most days!
There are two rooms. One for the tiny kids — up to about 2 years of age, and another for those of preschool age. Our son has just moved to the ‘bigger kids’ side and they have managed the progression really well. He is really happy there and has come along leaps and bounds in terms of his confidence and speech since he started attending.
Outside there is a lovely garden for the kids to play in, and it also has a covered area so they can still get fresh air when the weather is bad. There is a little vegetable garden that the kids help out on.
The staff are brilliant and really make each day special for the kids. They do activities related to what is happening in the ‘real world’, so things such as Easter, Diwali, Mothers Day, etc, are all observed and catered for. We couldn’t be happier with the place and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it with 5 stars.
