Finding Nurseries in Harborne
Some of Harborne's 10 nurseries are in gorgeous, brand-new buildings with fancy play equipment. Others are in cozy converted houses that feel more like home. Neither is better - it's about what matters to you. Would you rather have state-of-the-art facilities or that warm, homey feeling? Your child will be happy in both if the people are right.
Definitely check out the outdoor space. Is there room to run around? Is the play equipment in good nick? Some Birmingham nurseries have amazing gardens with mud kitchens and growing areas, others have a small yard with a few toys. If your little one is an outdoor kid, this matters. Also think about rainy days - do they have space inside for burning energy when it's pouring?
After visiting a few places around Harborne, they start to blur together in your memory. Was it the one with the blue reading corner or the yellow one? Which had that brilliant climbing frame? This is why you need to take notes (in Havyn!) with photos if they let you. Trust me, two weeks later you won't remember which nurseries had what.
