The Maples
At The Maples (Edgbaston Park Road), curiosity-led learning takes place in a home-from-home setting. Thanks to a location next door to Winterbourne House and Garden, children visit the botanic garden daily to explore and learn. The Nursery uses no single-use disposable wipes, and cloth nappies are welcomed. The Maples is for children aged 2 to 4-years-old.
Opening hours
07.30 - 17.55 Monday to Friday, 50 weeks of the year. Closed for approximately eight days over the Christmas vacation and four days over the Easter vacation.
Children can attend full time, or on a sessional basis of mornings or afternoons.
The Elms and The Oaks
At The Elms (Edgbaston Park Road) and The Oaks (off Bristol Road, Selly Oak), your child can go on an adventure at Forest School, unwind in the Sensory Room, and enjoy a host of activities from music and cookery to yoga and sport. These nurseries are for children aged 6 weeks to 4 years.
