Finding Us
If you are coming up Speedwell Road from Whitehall there is a large block of flats on your left. Look out for the bus stop across the road and our blue 'Nursery School' sign that points up the pathway to our centre.
If you are approaching us from the Kingswood direction, with the BBA School on your right, go straight across the mini roundabout on Speedwell Road. The bus stop is on the left and our blue 'Nursery School' sign points up the pathway to our centre.
The staff are enthusiastic about making the days engaging for the children, particularly my son’s keyworker. She takes such genuine interest in the children as individuals, quick to highlight any concerns and nurture any interests. I can’t fault the care they all give in Wrens Room, even down to the reception staff making the children feel special first thing in the morning and how well the site is maintained and looked after.
I value the relationships the staff build with the children and quickly. I love how I see them hugging the kids and genuinely enjoying what they do, and they seem to really understand each child’s personality. The room always seems calm and happy no matter what time you walk in. And it looks like they all have fun with a wide range of activities. I like how all the staff say hello to my child when he walks in and how the children follow that example. Reception staff give an amazing welcome everyday.
