Castle Nursery at Perryfields, Bromsgrove was established in 1995 and changed ownership in 2004. The nursery school is conveniently located along Perryfields Road, Bromsgrove. The nursery school operates from 8am till 6pm Monday to Friday and is open all year except Bank Holidays and the Christmas period.
We cater for children from 3 months to 5 years of age. The nursery units are divided according to age and fully equipped to meet their ever developing needs.
We work closely with parents/carers to establish an individual routine, which is usually an extension of your home practice. This enables children to settle quickly and happily into nursery life.
We offer free funded sessions for 3 and 4 year olds.
We receive support from a teacher from the Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership, which means we can work towards the Birth-to-3 framework and Foundation Stage curriculum. We have strong links with local schools in Bromsgrove. Our current setting supports children with special needs and we can also support children who speak English as an additional language.
Castle Nursery, Bromsgrove, has two large, well equipped, all-weather garden play areas which are secured by high, hedged fencing. The children enjoy playing outdoors, regardless of weather, and wrap up warm in the winter and wear sun hats and sunscreen in the summer.
At Castle Nursery, we encourage self-motivation as a basis for learning within a stimulating environment, developing and building on children's curiosity, interest and fascination with the world around them. Play and the child's own motivation are essential to learning. Children’s creative development is promoted through activities such as baking and collage making. They enjoy many local walks and are taken to different places of interest which truly enhances their sense of belonging to a community.
At Castle Nursery children enjoy planned, interesting activities and as a result they are motivated, sustain their concentration and make clear links in their learning. We plan our program to extend the children's experience and knowledge of other cultures, languages and celebrations.
We operate a waiting list at Castle Nursery and it is advisable to request a place for your child about a year before it is needed.
We also offer a Breakfast Club, After School Club and School Holiday Club from Meadows School. Further details can be seen on our separate listing in Children’s Activities and Parties.
