“Lovely nursery, sent my son here when it first opened and now my daughter attends. Staff are very helpful in easing parents and children's worries and anxieties. One of the cleanest nurseries I've visited and I know my children are very well looked after when I leave them. I would 100% recommend this to any parent looking for a nursery in this area.”

Why Saltley parents choose us
What families love about Havelock House
The things that reassure parents most are the everyday ones: a child who runs in happy each morning, a team who knows them well, and rooms that are bright, clean and safe.
01A warm welcome every morning Nurturing relationships from day one
Children arrive at Havelock House excited for their day. Each morning starts with a group welcome where every child finds their name and photo, so even the youngest feel they belong. Ofsted described the relationships between our staff and children as wholesome and nurturing, and that sense of safety is what helps children grow in confidence.
02Every child supported to thrive Care that makes a real difference
We get to know each child well and plan around what they need next. Ofsted rated our inclusion as Strong and found that children with special educational needs progress particularly well. Our team works closely with families and specialists, and supports children learning English as an additional language, so every child can take part and move forward.
03Bright, clean and safe A nursery parents trust
Parents often mention how bright, clean and welcoming our rooms are. It matters, because you should be able to leave your child knowing they are safe and happy. Our friendly team is always happy to answer your questions, however small.
Ofsted found the relationships between our staff and children wholesome and nurturing.

What local parents say
Nothing tells you more about a nursery than the families who are already there.
“My daughter loves coming here every day. I don't have to tell her to get ready, she tells me to get ready to take her. We are so lucky this nursery is close to home. All the staff are amazing, they're always smiling.”
“Highly recommend! It's such a lovely nursery with a really caring and knowledgeable team. Definitely the best place to send your child. The setting is beautiful, always clean and tidy, which is rare to find!”

Where children arrive excited for their day
Our space
Our rooms are bright, clean and set up for each stage, from two-year-olds finding their feet to pre-schoolers getting ready for school. Children choose from role play, sand, books and creative activities, and come together for group time and music.
Outdoors
Children play outside every day. They search for minibeasts with magnifying glasses, run and exercise to music, and talk together about what they find, which keeps their learning going outdoors.

Fees depend on the sessions you choose and any funded hours you use. You can see our session prices on the fees page, and hot lunches are included for every child at no extra cost.
