Wiggles & Giggles Day Nursery, Birmingham

An open-plan setting and daily nature walks characterised Wiggles & Giggles Day Nursery, Birmingham at its July 2025 inspection, but a later welfare notice is central to the decision families now face. The nursery has capacity for 80 children and accepts ages from one month to five years. Its address is in Birmingham Business Park.

At the 22 July 2025 inspection, Ofsted rated the nursery Good, judged safeguarding effective and found that individualised support helped children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make progress. Those judgements belong to that visit. The subsequent regulatory action needs separate attention and should carry weight alongside the earlier assessment.

In July 2025, the open-plan environment gave children opportunities to select resources and explore activities independently. Planned play also brought different areas of development together: a ball-throwing game involved recognising shapes and waiting for a turn. Physical movement, early mathematics and playing with others were combined in one activity rather than treated as separate tasks.

The early years foundation stage sets the requirements for children's learning, development and care. Here, the July 2025 examples show what that meant in practice: conversation, songs, stories and active play supported learning throughout the day. Staff spoke to babies about their actions and used questions with children to extend discussion. Language was part of ordinary interaction, rather than confined to a single organised activity.

Daily walks were another feature in July 2025. Children looked for wildlife and collected pine cones and horse chestnuts, while staff introduced road safety and care for the environment. These outings connected learning with real objects and surroundings. The frequency matters: outdoor exploration was a daily part of that inspection-time experience.

In July 2025, relationships included physical comfort and calm reassurance for children who were tired or unsettled. Staff also put feelings into words, including recognising babies' excitement. This gave children language for emotions as well as a response to their immediate needs.

Support for SEND at that visit involved parents and professionals in planning help around individual needs. Additional funding bought resources for movement and play linked to children's interests. Communication with families was regular, giving parents opportunities to discuss care and learning with staff.

Freshly made meals featured in July 2025, alongside practical steps towards independence. Younger children received help with cleaning their hands and faces; older children practised washing their hands and managing their own hygiene. These were everyday opportunities to develop self-care.

Following a regulatory visit on 21 July 2026, Ofsted served a welfare requirements notice covering risk assessment, supervision while children ate, and leaders' implementation of safeguarding procedures, including records. The notice, dated 30 July 2026, required action by 4 August 2026. It called for hazards to be identified and reduced, appropriate supervision at meals, and coaching for leaders. Its stated next step was monitoring the provider's response; the nursery remained registered at the time of that document. The latest published regulatory position is this notice, rather than a completion outcome.

Sessions and Attendance

Opening hours are 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. The nursery operates across the year, with closures for bank holidays and Christmas. That opening window is useful for assessing whether the location fits a working day.

Getting There

The address is Unit 4360, Waterside Centre, Solihull Parkway, Birmingham Business Park, Birmingham B37 7YN. The business-park setting is a practical consideration for families whose work or regular journeys take them there.

Funding and Paid Extras

In July 2025, the nursery provided funded early education for children from nine months to four years. This is an inspection-time participation statement, rather than a promise of eligibility or a particular funded attendance arrangement. Current prices should come in the nursery's written quotation.

• The July 2026 welfare notice. Actions concerned hazards, supervision during meals and safeguarding practice by leaders, with a deadline of 4 August 2026. Before choosing the setting, ask to see how each action has been addressed and any subsequent regulatory outcome.
• Consistency during routines. In July 2025, expectations were not reinforced reliably when children tidied away or changed activities, and some ran indoors. This was the improvement priority: children needed clearer guidance about what to do during everyday transitions.
• Age span and open-plan care. The nursery accepts children from one month to five years, and the July 2025 environment was open-plan. A visit can establish how the space and daily arrangements work for your child's stage.

For families seeking care across the working week on Birmingham Business Park, the opening hours and broad age range make this a practical option to assess. The July 2025 account offers concrete strengths in language, outdoor exploration and relationships. The later welfare notice changes the balance. A decision should give substantial weight to demonstrable action on the July 2026 requirements, alongside how the daily arrangements suit the individual child.
