Busy Bees St Matthews nursery is a bright and beautifully converted church, which is a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment that gives children everything they need to grow, develop, and prepare for school.

St Matthews Nursery in Burntwood is a beautifully converted church, featuring stunning architecture which we have incorporated into our range of activities and areas for children to explore, play and enjoy. You’ll find cosy reading corners through exposed brick archways, and main play areas flooded with natural daylight, pouring in through the vast windows throughout. Of course, the space has been cleverly adapted and modernised safely, allowing for elements such as interactive smart boards to be installed within the nursery rooms, bringing learning to life for the children at Busy Bees Burntwood.

Within the foundation class at our Burntwood nursery, children are encouraged to explore their natural curiosity through a range of planned activities in line with current curriculum, in order to give them an introduction to school life.
