Nishkam Nursery Brimingham

Faith and values shape the nursery day here: spiritual development sits alongside play, music and language learning, with respect for families of different faiths and none. That gives Nishkam Nursery Brimingham a clear character for parents considering how beliefs and everyday learning should fit together.

The nursery has 108 places in total and caters for children from birth to five. No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet.

Rooms and Ages

The Baby room caters for children from six weeks to two years, the Toddler room for two to three, and Pre-School for three to five. Large rooms contain resources children can choose for themselves, while a secure outdoor play area gives children space for outdoor activity.

Learning and Activities

The Early Years Foundation Stage provides the framework for learning and care: children develop language, movement, social skills and early literacy and mathematics through play. Free play and opportunities to choose activities are central to the day, alongside exploration, imaginative play and solving problems.

Values through SACRE Dispositions brings spiritual and moral qualities into the areas of learning. This makes values part of everyday activities rather than a separate subject. Music introduces sound and rhythm through voices and instruments; Language Sessions involve specialist practitioners teaching additional languages. These are concrete additions for families who want language and spiritual development woven into nursery life.

An appointed special educational needs coordinator works alongside external professionals, including speech and language therapists. This provides a defined route for coordinating additional support, rather than relying solely on the child's room team.

A designated safeguarding lead role and staff safeguarding training form part of the nursery's arrangements. Vegetarian meals are provided, making the food approach relevant to families choosing care around their dietary preferences.

Sessions and Attendance

Opening hours are 8am to 6pm, with care operating for 50 weeks each year. The nursery closes for two weeks during Christmas, bank holidays and staff training. Before-school and after-school clubs also cater for children up to eight. These clubs extend the age range beyond the nursery rooms.

The address is 17-19 Soho Road, Birmingham, B21 9SN. Enquiries can be made by telephone on 0121 515 3665 or by email to ksk@nishkamnursery.org.

Funding and Paid Extras

Grant funding for three- and four-year-olds starts from the term following the child's third birthday. It is claimed by the nursery and deducted from the weekly charge, with parents signing a confirmation form each term. Current prices come in the nursery's written quotation.

Fees are payable monthly in advance. Sessions cannot be exchanged, and additional sessions are charged separately. Cancelling a place requires one month's written notice, with fees payable throughout that period. These terms make a predictable attendance pattern important when budgeting.

• Address discrepancy. The contact address is Lawn House, 1 Soho Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, B21 9SN, differing from 17-19 Soho Road. Confirm where care takes place before arranging a visit.
• Faith and values. Spiritual and moral development runs through daily learning, alongside respect for different beliefs. Families should weigh how closely this matches the upbringing they want.
• Fixed bookings. Sessions cannot be swapped and extra sessions incur a charge. Families with changing work schedules need to factor that restriction into their choice.

This nursery suits families seeking a faith-based, play-led nursery day, with vegetarian food and specialist language teaching. Before-school and after-school clubs also serve older children. The emphasis on spiritual values is a central decision point, while fixed-session terms favour families whose weekly arrangements are predictable.
