About the employer

This nursery is within Saltley Adult Learning Centre premises. The nursery itself has been purposefully built. This gives children the freedom to freely flow from their designated rooms to outdoors and back, giving them independence and ability to choose own activities. There are three age groups – babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. The ratios are always maintained to ensure safety of all the children – 1:3 (babies), 1:4 (toddlers), 1:8 (pre-school). Large and full of light rooms provide children with comfortable and cosy environment to play and learn in. Our qualified staff provide stimulating activities to support children’s curiosity and development across 7 areas of EYFS.
