Welcome to Wylde Green Day Nursery, nestled in the heart of Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, our nursery exudes a warm, community spirit, focusing on teaching children valuable lessons about themselves and the world around them.
Embracing the Reggio Emilia learning approach, at Wylde Green Nursery we foster curiosity, creativity, and collaboration in every child. Our thoughtfully designed, open-plan nursery setting bathes in natural light, offering a spacious area where children can freely explore and choose their own adventures through child-led activities.
We believe that in allowing children to roam freely in an open environment, along with a dedicated and passionate nursery team each child that we see in builds confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our outdoor garden areas are brimming with activities that enhance the children’s physical health, motor skills, and emotional well-being. Children can safely explore nature with easily accessible materials in a secure environment, all through age-specific resources.
One of the favourite aspects of the garden is our garden room, which has an engaging array of sensory shapes, mirrors, and colours to stimulate learning and captivate the children’s curiosity.
Come and experience the unique blend of nurturing care and educational excellence at Wylde Green Day Nursery, where every child’s journey of discovery begins.

The Brighter Learning Approach (BLA) is unique to The Old Station Nursery group and is our advanced approach to the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and core pedagogy. It differs from traditional nursery teaching methods by providing real-life opportunities to enhance children’s natural curiosity, with emphasis on hands-on experiences, child-led learning, and whole development.
The six core areas promote active engagement and critical thinking whilst encouraging exploration, creativity, and collaboration. Each child learns at their own pace and is challenged and extended at appropriate times.
The best place to see the BLA in action is via our local nursery Facebook page, where each post explains which part of the curriculum the children are working on. Our parents also receive updates on the Parent App too.
Championing children's holistic health and laying the foundations for a happy, healthy and successful life.
Helping the future generation of global citizens to understand the world they live in and to believe they can make a difference.
Enabling early experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM). Nurturing our next generation of investigators, inventors and innovators.
Enticing children to develop a life-long love of books and reading through engaging and interactive storytelling experiences. Building strong literacy skills while sparking imagination and creativity.
Engaging children in meaningful mathematical learning. Developing knowledge, building skills and exploring concepts, through purposeful play and plenty of practice.
Developing confident communicators by engaging in quality conversations with children every day, in a language rich and communication friendly environment.
At Wylde Green Nursery, we take pride in offering a variety of extra clubs that enhance our Brighter Learning Approach, a customised version of the Early Years Statutory Framework.
There’s never a quiet day at our nursery, as we make sure there’s plenty going on to stimulate the children.
At Wylde Green Nursery, these clubs are more than just activities; they are opportunities for your child to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build a foundation for lifelong learning and curiosity.
Learning meets fun in high-energy classes designed to introduce children to the world of literacy. An outside phonics specialist comes in Wylde Green Nursery to deliver engaging sessions are perfect for children aged 12 months to 5 years, offering a dynamic and educational experience that sparks a love for reading and early phonics skills.
The best part? The little ones will be having so much fun, they don’t even realise they’re learning!
Emma The Music Lady visits regularly to share her passion for music with the children, leading them in fun and interactive singing sessions.
Her engaging approach and delightful songs captivate the little ones, encouraging them to express themselves through music. With Emma, our children explore rhythm, melody, and movement, all while having a fantastic time. Her sessions are a highlight of our week, fostering a love for music and enhancing our children’s social and cognitive development.
Our children love nothing more than when the team calls time for meal preparation or works with the children to produce a teatime dessert or baking morning. The children learn so much in these activities including measuring, counting skills and following instructions.
Our Budding Movers club is a lively hub of activity, incorporating musical instruments, sensory play, puppets, and dance.
These dynamic classes boost coordination, creativity, and self-confidence. On sunny days, our dance club moves outside, where children delight in dancing with streamers, hopping on coloured disks, and jumping through hoops to upbeat music.
In our Budding Gardeners club, children develop a green thumb rain or shine.
They tend to our vegetable planters, learning about plant growth cycles and exploring the tastes and textures of the produce they help grow. These hands-on gardening activities teach environmental responsibility and sustainable practices, instilling lifelong skills.
Our Budding Scientists at Wylde Green Nursery dive into exciting, hands-on experiments. From crafting magical potions to embarking on space-themed adventures, children explore different materials and concepts. They love bringing home their scientific creations to share with their families, sparking a love for discovery.
As part of the Budding Scientists we also learn new things on the interactive whiteboard. The children really love challenging mini games and puzzles that are designed to improve their scientific and mathematical knowledge.
Budding Artists at Wylde Green Nursery is a favourite among our children and a hit with parents who appreciate the creative outlet without the mess at home.
These sessions use a variety of materials such as paint, natural elements, playdough, lentils, shredded paper, and glue, encouraging artistic exploration and developing fine motor skills.
Our nursery is set up to support messy play, ensuring everything is clean and tidy before lunch.
Our nursery group is passionate about the link between home and nursery; the nursery experience is as much about the parent as it is for the child.
Wylde Green Nursery commits to verbally updating you about your child’s day at pick-up time and via digital updates on the parent App.
We are here at any time should you wish to call us or want to discuss any area of your child’s care. We aim to look after our parents as well as our children so you can carry on with your day, work and career with a sense of peace.
First and foremost, you and we need to know that your child is safe. Before we can deliver the excellent curriculum that makes our nurseries so special, robust policies and procedures are followed to meet the exacting standards of Ofsted, building and fire regulations, food safety standards and staff DBS background checks and references.
Our staff are trained in numerous areas and we offer further training opportunities for staff who have an interest in a particular area. For example, some of our nurseries have attained Millie’s Mark, an accreditation gained by having 100% of staff on site trained in paediatric first aid.
Nutritious hot meals are delivered daily by our catering partner, Nutrifresh. We offer a diverse, seasonal menu that rotates every four weeks.
Good nutrition is essential during childhood as it is a time of rapid growth, development and activity.
Every child has a dedicated key person who knows them best and serves as the main contact for both the child and their parents. Your key person will keep you informed about your child’s day and is always available to answer any questions.
Since our nursery operates in an open-plan environment, children do not move rooms or change key workers. This ensures that they have the same consistent key person throughout their entire journey with us.
It is wonderful to nurture and see our children graduate to primary school. Part of the unique offering of Wylde Green Nursery is our focus on the next stage of your child’s learning journey.
We prepare the children through school activities, teacher meet and greets and graduation ceremonies.
Our commitment is to support our parents too by providing child learning journey updates, parents evenings or one-to-ones and home link learning kits to enhance the link between nursery and home.
All our nurseries follow the Brighter Learning Approach, our bespoke version of the Early Years Statutory Framework. Within this, each nursery chooses extra clubs, activities, and enhancements suitable for their space.
Wylde Green Nursery offers flexible childcare with several session options as well as private, part-funded and some fully funded places for eligible families.

Children who are not yet walking are cared for in our Garden Room, designed specifically for our youngest children starting at 12 months. This warm and nurturing space provides a cosy, safe environment where little ones can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
Although the Garden Room is their primary space, these children also spend time in the main hall at the beginning and end of the day, during planned activities, and for their main meals alongside the older children. Our nursery team provides personalised attention and gentle care, ensuring each child feels loved and secure. We offer a variety of age-appropriate activities to stimulate their senses and encourage early development, from soft toys and sensory play to soothing music and story time.
We nurture your infant’s growth by tailoring activities to their developmental needs. We introduce fun and engaging activities like drawing, painting, collaging, dancing, and singing.
These activities help develop early skills and spark their love for learning. At this stage, we focus on essential skills such as language development and fine motor skills.
All of this is underpinned by the Reggio Emilia learning approach, that encourages children to express themselves through multiple “languages,” such as art, music, and play. Teachers act as guides, creating rich, stimulating environments and fostering a community of inquiry.
In Little Pre-School and Pre-School, we offer a wide range of resources and activities to get your child ready for school. From writing and reading books to a special “letter of the week” focus, we make learning enjoyable and interactive. Children have the chance to set their own nursery rules and be a “helper of the day,” boosting their confidence and sense of responsibility. We also partner with an outside company to provide extra PE activities, promoting physical development, listening skills, and teamwork.
Following the Reggio Emilia learning approach, we’ve created areas of development that mimic the multiple “languages”, children learn in, such as art, music, and play. Teachers act as guides, creating rich, stimulating environments and fostering a community of inquiry.

“Our nursery is very unique as we have an open plan, free-flow design, where all ages from 1 to 5 years old mix together throughout the day. We adapt the activities to tailor to each child’s needs and interests. We also promote independence and encourage children to make choices about how they spend their day.”
