About our Nursery
Here at Wolverhampton, we pride ourselves on our Outstanding Ofsted rating! Our purpose built nursery, designed in 2019, is all about spacious, bright areas where children can play freely and learn naturally in an open environment with limited boundaries. And of course, there's more to our nursery than just children. At Wolverhampton we have two adorable pet rabbits, Hop Hop and Ringo who are beloved members of our nursery family, often joining in indoor and outdoor activities. Being on the southern parameters of Wolverhampton, in the village of Penn, we have our own private driveway (opposite the junction of Springhill Park) which leads to a large carpark behind the housing development.
