From the Damson Wood Nursery and Infant School
We appreciate you taking the time to check out our website. We are a very loving and welcoming nursery and infant school in the Solihull neighbourhood of Damsonwood with on-site preschool childcare. Our goal is to give our kids the greatest early education possible, and Ofsted just recognised us as a "Good" school (July 2019). We offer education to children from 3 to 7 years old and also have a daycare centre on site called "Woodies Childcare." Children between the ages of 2 and 8 are cared for year-round by Woodies. This website aims to provide you with a "taster" of our fantastic school and daycare. We think it demonstrates our child-centered, loving approach with a goal of providing everyone with a high-quality education. We anticipate that it will offer information to both existing and potential families. Have a look around, and if you have any queries, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected] or by phone at 0121 705 8652. Any questions can be answered by the office staff and school secretary Zoe Jeffs. Please phone us to set up a visit if you are thinking about sending your child to Damson Wood Nursery & Infant School or Woodies Childcare. I would be more than delighted to show you around our school and tell you more about our ethos.
