About

We are a Local Authority Maintained Nursery School located in the Northfield/ Bartley Green area in the South West of the City. We provide care and early education to babies and children of 0-5 years ahead of their transition to compulsory education.

We are a highly qualified, motivated and skilled team of qualified teachers and early professionals with a passion for ensuring every unique child in our care experiences the very best early life opportunities.

Parent Carer Feedback Questionnaire Results SFNS July 2024 We were one of the early years providers in the UK to be awarded the prestigious GOLD Rights Respecting School Award in January 2021 and one of the first to be recredited at this standard in January 2024.

The excellent work on introducing children to being global citizens has gained the school the Unicef Rights Respecting Schools award. Children are very aware that everyone has the right to be heard, and this has contributed to creating a culture of safety across the nursery (Ofsted).
