Nursery at Bordesley Village Primary School
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Stories, rhymes and conversation give the early years at Bordesley Village Primary School their character. Adults introduce more demanding vocabulary and encourage children to express themselves in complete sentences, making language development a practical part of daily learning.
The nursery belongs to the primary school on Emmeline Street in Bordesley Village, Birmingham. Ofsted’s inspection published on 17 March 2026 judged the school’s early years provision to be Strong standard. That judgement covers early years within the school; it is not a separate nursery rating.
Learning follows the early years foundation stage (EYFS), with teaching arranged so that children build knowledge progressively. Staff assess children’s understanding and use what they learn to choose the next activities. Practice matters here: children have opportunities to return to new learning and become more secure before moving further ahead. For parents, that means activities have a purpose linked to their child’s development.
Language receives close attention. Exploring rhymes and stories sits alongside first attempts at writing, while conversations with adults extend the words children can use. Children are encouraged to develop fuller spoken responses. These experiences connect listening, speaking and early literacy rather than treating them as isolated tasks.
Across the early years, phonics is taught in an ordered, consistent way, helping children combine sounds and separate them within words. Familiar routines also support growing independence. Children learn to work with others, take satisfaction in what they have achieved and judge small risks sensibly. Learning includes making healthier choices as well as developing knowledge.
Trust between children and staff supports settling. The inspection published on 17 March 2026 found that children formed reassuring relationships with adults, became comfortable quickly and felt secure. Predictable routines and clear expectations gave them a framework for participating confidently. For a child beginning group education, those relationships and familiar patterns help make the day understandable.
Support starts with understanding the individual child. Staff recognise additional needs early and adjust teaching for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, alongside those facing disadvantage. The purpose is access to the complete curriculum, with targeted help enabling substantial, sustained progress across the early years.
Parents are involved in children’s development too. Staff collaborate closely with families to support learning at home, connecting what happens during the school day with the child’s wider experience.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process and meet the applicable deadline. Treat choosing the nursery and applying for Reception as two separate decisions.
