Newtown Nursery School, a Birmingham Local Authority Nursery School opened in 1970 in a purpose-built nursery building. The school provides the highest quality early education. It has been judged by Ofsted as outstanding since 2007. The school works in partnership with its local neighbour Brearley Nursery School. It works closely with Highfield Nursery School sharing staffing and resourcing.

In 2018 we federated with other Birmingham Local Authority Maintained Nursery Schools to form The Birmingham Federation of Maintained Nursery Schools:

Vision Statement

As a Federation of 9 Birmingham Maintained Nursery Schools with individual identities, we work collaboratively to champion and provide responsive early years research-based pedagogy and curriculum, and system leadership across the Early Years sector.

Our innovative and sustainable model supports our diverse, creative learning community, inspired by children’s rights and our ambitions for their future success.

We are one of twenty-seven Birmingham Local Authority Maintained Nursery Schools that come together in 2015 to form Birmingham Nursery Schools Collaboration which is a charitable incorporated organisation. It is the largest group of nursery schools working together in England. Our schools have a long history of providing high quality, inclusive Early Education and Childcare for children under five in Birmingham. We work in partnership with the Local Authority to provide system leadership across a diverse early years’ sector in Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond.
