July 27, 2017 at 12:00 amMy children enjoy going to nursery which makes me feel good about leaving them to go to work. Always felt the staff enjoy being there and they genuinely care for my children. I also like that they have a qualified teacher in pre-school.

July 25, 2018 at 12:00 amThe nursery is very good and the staff is very engaging with the child. They provide various activities and encourage the children to take part at their own pace. All my kids have gone there (oldest is now 10!) They have helped me get rid of dummies and potty train my kids. I find them very helpful and my kids loved being at nursery.
Thank you so much for your help.

March 19, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter really enjoys her time at Building Blocks Nursery – Handsworth Wood. The staff are friendly and helpful. My daughter always has a big smile for her key worker which is great. The environment is clean and welcoming. The information given at handover is always detailed and the staff have been responsive to any requests I have had. I am really thankful to Building Blocks for making my return to work and my daughter’s start at nursery as smooth as possible.

March 26, 2019 at 12:00 amIt was extremely easy to arrange a viewing when looking for a new nursery for our son. The staff were very accommodating and helpful and the settle in sessions were easy to arrange.
Our son has settled in really well and doesn’t cry at drop off any more which we think is a great sign. He seems really happy and this is very reassuring as a parent.
The staff are always very thorough with feedback and flexible around his needs. We would be happy to recommend them based on our positive experience here.

March 26, 2019 at 12:00 amWe are so happy with this nursery.
My daughter loves coming to nursery.
The staff are very warm and welcoming, informative on any changes and give feedback on the child for the day.
I’ve seen a big difference in my daughter since she started in the Tweenies room.
She has really come out of her shell since she started preschool.
Would really recommend Building Blocks – Handsworth Wood – it’s fab.

November 4, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son attended Building Blocks for a little over 18 months. I chose them because of the location on the site of his siblings’ school and he settled in really quickly and loved it, especially the friendly and supportive staff. During this time we referred him to be assessed for a communication delay. The nursery immediately put us in touch with their SENCO, who couldn’t be more helpful and went above and beyond the remit of a day nursery in this matter. This continued even though the SENCO moved on and was replaced with another absolute gem. Everyone in the nursery supported my son to such a degree that he was able to transition to main school nursery so quickly that we were able to cancel all of the contingency plans (which the nursery committed to even though they didn’t have to) to extend his stay if he didn’t settle. This was an absolute triumph for a child who had recently had a diagnosis of Autism. This I think is a testament to the great effort and skills of the nursery staff.

June 2, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter has attended this nursery for a few months and we have noticed a positive change in her development.
Staff are always friendly, especially two members who reassured us our daughter is happy and safe. I am also happy with activities undertaken which positively engage our daughter.

March 15, 2021 at 12:00 amIf you’re a parent wondering about placing your children with this nursery, don’t hesitate! It’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made for them. We were worried about transferring our child due to the language delay but the amazing staff did so much with him from the day of his first visit. The nursery manager, along with the team and SENCO have gone above and beyond, even while negotiating the pressures of the pandemic and creating new learning opportunities. Our child is always happy to go to nursery. The nursery manager is never too busy to take a call, answer questions or offer suggestions. Staff have consistently demonstrated a genuine, caring attitude towards our child and this has added brilliance to the start of his educational experience. If I was allowed to name individuals, I would refer to every single member of staff as excellent! Thank you all!

December 23, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff are very friendly and caring they attend to my child’s needs. The attention to detail in terms of ensuring that as a parent I know what’s going on for my child. I love the app where I can track the activities of my child for the week.

August 12, 2022 at 12:00 amBuilding Blocks is a fantastic nursery. The staff are kind, patient and helpful. The facility is always clean and I love the variety of the activities. My children have really developed educationally and personally. Can’t speak more highly of my experience.

August 24, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children came here and both had their hair combed when I didn’t get enough time, had breakfast even if they just missed the time, had everything from their key worker as they would from me. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. It’s sad to know It’s over. I’ve enjoyed picking my kids up here and having their reports. A big thank you to the commitment of the staff here and for making the kids of tomorrow.

February 6, 2023 at 12:00 amI am very pleased with this nursery. All the staff are caring and kind. The children love going to nursery. I have had two of my children go to this nursery and both have become very confident. The staff really care for the children and always go beyond.

February 6, 2023 at 12:00 amI have been with Building Blocks for years, my daughter attended and now my son attends too. Building Blocks is the best nursery! I have never had any issues with the nursery. My son loves being there and happily goes in. The nursery itself is very well maintained. The staff at Building Blocks are absolutely amazing. They are all very friendly, polite, caring and helpful. Even though we get the update on the nursery’s app, staff always give verbal updates, which is very helpful as sometimes as a working parent I don’t get time to check the app. It’s always amazing walking in and seeing the breakfast ready and all the activities nicely laid out for the kids and then watching my son happily playing, dancing and singing rhymes at the end of the day. My son gets all the comfort he needs when he’s upset or not feeling well, which I have witnessed with my own eyes. I can’t thank the staff enough for all the love and care they provide to my son. Thank you so, so much, Building Blocks.

February 6, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son started in September 2022 and I can honestly say the staff are incredible with him. He struggles with being around other kids and certain noises, so it was a massive step for him to go there, but the staff have come up with little ways of making it easier on him and he loves it there. The communication between staff and parents is excellent, the nursery itself is the cleanest I’ve ever seen and the progress my son has made in the five months he’s been there, is incredible. The SEN staff are amazing and so helpful with getting things put in place quickly and explaining any new developments/ keeping parents informed on any updates. He’s gone from being very quiet and shy to vocalising a lot more, being bubbly and joins in on the activities they do. The food is healthy and a nice variety. As a mother, it was scary sending my son to people I don’t know, but seeing how happy he is and how much progress he’s made, definitely shows why we picked that nursery. Can’t recommend them enough.

February 6, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter joined this nursery last year and since then I have seen her developing socially and intellectually. The staff at nursery are very caring and empathetic. Highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

February 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has attended the nursery for over 3 years and enjoys it. His development has come along well and he loves the staff at the nursery. The nursery is organised, clean and approachable. My youngest son has recently started nursery and the transition was well managed.

February 8, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children have been attending Building Blocks since they were nine months old. My oldest is now three, and my youngest turned one last month.
The support they both have received from the staff is incredible.
My son has suffered from skin problems since before attending, I asked the staff to apply some creams, and they were happy to do that. His communication and language skills have always been very high, and that is due to nursery. We do a lot at home but nothing as much as in the nursery. All the staff who have looked after both the kids have been very kind and very supportive. They have both learnt a lot and built lots of skills through their time there. The managers at the nursery are always supportive too. If I ever call to check if the kids are ok, she would be happy to speak to me and reassure me that they were fine.
