The Old School House Nursery Walmley

I could not be happier with the care provided to my son since joining The Old School House, Walmley. He has developed so much and you get a real sense that the nursery individualises their care to meet the needs of each child. The settling-in period was such a smooth transition, everything was so efficient and transparent. They have very effective communication, also responding to queries, offering you reassurance and updating you on your child’s progression and general nursery updates. You feel part of a community and cared for as a family. Every day they tell me my son has taken part in a full range of activities. Overall, the experience could not be more positive.

Our son turned three in July and started in Badgers in September. Initially, he was upset being dropped off as he hasn’t left us before, especially due to Covid-19. However, within days he had settled well and made some friends. This is all down to the teachers in his class making him feel welcome and loved. He talks about his teachers every day and now looks forward to going. Activities vary each day, the nursery app is excellent in being able to keep contact with the nursery during his day. It’s easy to check to see how he is doing as observations are made regularly and communicated to us. The food choice is brilliant and a healthy range, this is also recorded daily on the app, with updates on how much he is eaten. The nursery staff are always available to assist and take really good care of our little boy. The nursery is very well maintained with plenty of space both indoors and out. We are thoroughly pleased with his progress and the choice to send him here. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been attending Nursery here since she turned 1. The first few weeks were tough as she had not been well and struggled to settle, however since then she has flourished here and it is down to the amazing staff and facilities. I can’t recommend this nursery enough, they really do care about the children and it shows. I love the daily updates I get from staff when I pick her up, and the regular photos and updates on her development via the app are fantastic. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend to anyone.

We can’t rate The Old School House highly enough. Our daughter has been so happy here and has made incredible progress both academically and socially. Her needs have been met faultlessly by the nursery staff and the environment they have created for the children who attend is wonderful.
The additional extracurricular activities are well-considered and varied, French and football being particular highlights.

Fantastic nursery with exceptionally caring staff. At all points of our child’s development stages or phases of transition, they have gone above and beyond in supporting us as parents, along with our child.
Having taken the difficult decision to uproot and move our child to the nursery twelve months ago, due to an ongoing poor experience at another nursery, we have been continually reassured that it was the right decision.

The nursery staff did wonders getting my baby boy integrated into their setting and did just as well settling me down into my son being in this kind of environment too. Their use of the app allows us constant updates and helps us track our little ones eating and health updates. My shy little boy has come on leaps and bounds in the short time he has been at nursery and I’ve every faith this is the perfect place to help him develop happily!

My daughter started in October with settling in sessions, to start in November. She loves going to nursery and is always happy to see all members of staff. She has developed so much over the last 8 months, far more than I had expected and that is down to the caring, nurturing environment that is provided here. She is now 18 months old and her personality and ability to communicate with adults is amazing. We’re always aware if any events are happening at the nursery, the petting event of small animals was lovely. The children are able to go out in the garden and do loads of activities, which is great. If anything concerning her has happened during the day we’re always informed.
I have mobility issues and the nursery have gone above and beyond to accommodate in helping my daughter and myself, with access into the building and getting her in and out safely.
There is so much more I can say, but all in all – it is a great nursery and I’m glad we chose this one. We know she will thrive here

All the team are amazing! They are friendly, welcoming and can’t do enough for you and your little one. They pick up on every little detail about your baby and they make you feel so relaxed knowing your baby is in the best hands. The nursery itself is beautiful and always clean! The food is fantastic, a great range of variety for the little ones taste buds to explore. I really didn’t want to leave my baby but the team really eased that pain, I know my baby is safe and always happy when there and I will be forever grateful to all the team for taking the best care of our little one. I would highly recommend to anybody. I always get the sense this isn’t just a job to them – they genuinely love and care for your baby and always have their best interests at heart. They keep you updated with the app which is brilliant and will call when necessary – or even if you as a parent just need some reassurance they always make sure they take the time to do this. Thank you for all that you do!

Our boy has attended The Old School House since he was 18 months old, he’s now nearly 3 and I could never dream of sending him elsewhere!
The staff have the most beautiful and kindest of hearts and treat our son as if they were their own, he comes out ranting and raving about what he’s done his friends his teachers as he calls them! Our son didn’t speak when he went to the nursery which as a parent was very concerning, the staff were quick to adapt to his needs, and now he’s never quiet talking away! And I have always said I believe this is the nursery bringing out the best in him! I would love to thank you all so much and also can’t wait for his last year with you as a nursery, then I’ll be putting my twins in with you! Thank you!

My son has attended the old school house nursery since he turned one. After never leaving my son alone with anyone this was a massive step. The staff made me feel comfortable and would update me on my son’s day which made it easier. Since starting nursery my son has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are amazing at what they do and always go above and beyond to support me. I had worries about my son’s speech and I expressed this to his key worker who sat down with my son to help him progress and in weeks he was saying more words. He has now moved up and is learning to count he knows colours and is starting to put words together. I can’t express how much I love the old school house and the members of staff and how amazing they are with my little one.
I would highly recommend The Old School House!
