Rubery

About Us

My First Friends Rubery is a ‘family-feel’ nursery, set within the outskirts of Rednal, Birmingham. The nursery provides full time and part time care for children aged 0-5 years.

The nursery prides itself on its large spaces and stimulating environment, which has been carefully designed with the children in mind; including child friendly low-level windows, and tailor-made furniture. The setting is in close proximity to the village, providing families with a range of amenities such as restaurants, activities and more.

The ‘open-plan’ environment has several age-appropriate rooms, each with easy access to the outdoor garden area where children can learn and grow in a natural environment. This design allows for an easy transition to other rooms, as well as providing an opportunity to strengthen the relationships between the children and nursery team.

The ‘Baby’ room provides a warm and calming environment, ensuring each baby feels safe and secure in an area that is not too crowded or deemed overwhelming. This is so that they can develop at their own pace and explore lots of colours, textures, and patterns to encourage sensory play from the earliest years.

The Pre-school rooms have access to ICT equipment, which includes an interactive whiteboard for drawing, and playing educational games, to encourage and support all areas of learning and development. Learning about the technological world is included as part of our Bespoke Learning Programme in addition to the Early Years Statutory Framework.

As well as the indoor learning spaces, My First Friends Rubery offers a garden area, built with soft surfacing to ensure the children’s safety, as well as providing them with the opportunity to learn being surrounded by nature. This is also achieved through regular visits to the village in Rednal, where children can activate their physical abilities through walking and exploring.

We are open from 7:30am - 6pm Monday to Friday for 51 weeks of the year (we are closed at Christmas and on bank holidays).
