Children's space in Birmingham

“Went to an 80's night recently , first time we've been to Brierley Hill civic hall. It was absolutely brilliant. Big dancefloor, great crowd of people, staff all friendly and helpful, and toilets absolutely spotless - unlike some other places we've visited that made you want to wipe your feet on the way out. They had an really good live band and a disco afterwards, we we're dancing all night. Looking forward to going again!”

“Book directly and have breakfast included at a lower overall price. Free secure car parking right in the centre of town and you cannot go wrong. The people are lovely and the whole establishment is sparkling clean. Sometimes the reward of taking a risk and supporting the local independent pays off high dividends. I will stay here again for certain.”

“Great range of kit, knowledgeable staff and looking forward to the new refurbished gym. The Spa area is also a huge bonus to help relax after a good workout.”

“Great venue for our sound baths :)”

“beautiful park with lots to do n nice views of town. occasional issues with public disturbances from problematic youth but i guess that is a national problem not a park problem.”

“Went to a community movie night last night, really enjoyed myself, perfect for all the family, the hospitality was brilliant, I’d definitely recommend for anyone looking for something free and entertaining, thankyou to all who organised”

“Such a nice play area with a variety of equipments and good parking space. My daughter loves going there as she can always meet a new friend. The area feels safe, clean and the people taking their children there are friendly and nice.”

“Nothing but good things to say about this beautiful small venue that was the perfect setting for my engagement. I can’t thank sonia enough for making my dream day reality it was so special, she went above and beyond to make everything perfect for me and I was over the moon. She provided amazing hospitality and accommodated our guests the best anyone could. Everyone complimented how beautiful the settings was and how it all came out perfectly. Thank you so so so much, you’re amazing! I would definitely be booking again as she was super professional, I had nothing to worry about and just enjoyed my day as did the guests. The decor was beautiful, table settings and stage all the finer details definitely impressed everyone.”

“I go to this wonderful nursery every Tuesday to work with the school room children, to run different sport skills.

“As a parent finding the right nursery for your child is one of the most stressful things ever. Having a bad experience previously at a different nursery with my eldest two children,I was very apprehensive. After visiting over 10 nurseries a friend recommended Billesley Ark Preschool. I hesitated at first thinking its quite far but gave it a go. After visiting the nursery it ticked most of the boxes that I had in mind. I decided to give it a go. What really impressed me was the settling in sessions and how the staff made it an easy transition. I was very nervous as my child had become very clingly to me and would not let me out of his sight for even a minute. The lovely staff made him feel so comfortable that he enjoyed it. They sent me updates to reassure me.They immediately realised what he activities and toys he enjoyed and made sure that it was available for him. I was amazed at how well he settled in and enjoyed nursery. He looks forward to his nursery sessions everyday and has never refused to go. He always comes home with a smile on his face and happily tells me what he got upto. The communication from the nursery is excellent. I also love that children can bring their own food that they enjoy and are used to. Most nurseries do not allow food from home which can be fustrating for fussy eaters. They provide lots of healthy fruit and even offer breakfast to children which is very generous of them. The staff show alot of love and care for children. I also love that they take the children outside daily to get some fresh air and play. The nursery also has its own minibus that the children have access to. The staff always have well planned activities set out for children to recognise all faiths and events happening such as Chinese New Year, Easter, Eid, Ramadan, mother's day etc. The only regret I have is not sending him here earlier. I would definitely recommend this nursery to every parent. I cannot fault this nursery at all and I am sad that my son's journery with this nursery is coming to an end.”

“Outstanding Nursery Experience! First of i would like to say Haz is amazing and as a parent, choosing the right nursery can be overwhelming, but I couldn’t be happier with my decision. This nursery has been exceptional in every way. The staff are warm, caring, and truly passionate about creating a nurturing environment for the children. My child has grown immensely in confidence, skills, and happiness since starting here. The facilities are fantastic, with a perfect balance of fun and education. They offer engaging activities that keep the children excited to learn while promoting creativity and independence. The communication with parents is excellent; I always feel informed and involved in my child’s progress. A huge thank you to the team for their dedication and hard work. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, stimulating, and supportive place for their child to thrive. – Naz”

“I have been attending Lullababy Kidderminster since my daughter was 3 months old. She turns 1 next week and this class has always been the highlight of our week! Stacey is so friendly and inclusive and I always learn something new every week! Even now, when my almost toddler won’t sit still and wants to cause havoc, Stacey makes it fun and makes me feel at ease! Thank you so much for hosting these classes!”

“Great product. Quality of the T shirt and Hoodie are quality and have not lost shape after I’ve washed them. Will definitely be buying again in the future.”

“Smart start is an excellent nursery, my daughter attended there and my son has just finished ready for school. My boy attended since he was 14 months and I was very nervous as he was very young and wasn’t sure how he would settle in a completely new setting for 2 full days. Smart start assured me and have to say he was very happy there and has grown up to be a confident, smart and well mannered 4 year old. I was assured as the nursery is secluded with security gates and a good environment around them. With a personal chef which you know that your boy will be eating healthy. Thankyou to all the staff from baby to preschool room and everyone at reception. One of the best nurseries in the area so far.”

“Incredible cafe and community centre. Amazing atmosphere. Lots going on. Food and drinks are great.”

“club integral ... first Friday Talented ... positive ... very c00L ...”

“At previous nurseries there were days our child didn’t want to go in or came back agitated and frustrated. The majority of the time was spent in doors and we didn’t get much communication from the staff. It’s been the complete opposite since joining World Outside Kindergarten. Our child skips to nursery, really looks forward to going, has great relationships with the staff and importantly for us as parents we get regular comms at the door and via an app to keep us up to date with what’s going on. I’d highly recommend it. If you want your kids to be outside in the fresh air, learn about nature and come back fulfilled (and shattered!) then World Outside is the one.”

“A really fantastic nursery! The staff are lovely and knowledgeable. My two children attended this nursery from 10 months until they went to school. My younger one just started school in September 2020. All through the last 6 years (with my first and second), we have received excellent service and care. I always knew that they were in safe hands. If you are looking for a nursery for your children, this is the place to be.”

“I have Graham as my hairdresser. He is wonderful and a lovely person. I feel that its my therapy when i go there. Love my hair since going there.”

“This was an amazing time we came to watch hi da hi and was delighted to see you all will come again soon”
