Perry Beeches Nursery School

About Perry Beeches Nursery School

Perry Beeches Nursery School is a state-funded nursery in Birmingham, currently educating 66 children aged 3 to 5. The school operates as a mixed-gender setting with no religious character. While the data doesn't include the school's official capacity, the pupil count of 66 gives a sense of its size as a relatively small nursery. For context on intake, the school's free school meal (FSM) percentage is not provided in the data, so it's not possible to compare it directly with local or national averages. However, the school appears to be in demand: in the Parent View survey conducted between September 2024 and September 2025, 82% of the 17 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. This strong recommendation rate, combined with the school's Good Ofsted rating, suggests it is a well-regarded option for families in the Birmingham area seeking early years provision.

Academically, Perry Beeches Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its most recent graded inspection in 2012, the school received a 2 (Good) for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most recent ungraded inspection in July 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, though with some concerns noted under the 'S5 Next' category. The school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results or Progress 8 scores, as it only serves children up to age 5, so academic outcome comparisons with local authority averages are not applicable. Instead, the focus is on early years development. Parent feedback is very positive: 94% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 94% felt their child is safe. Additionally, 82% strongly agreed that the school supports their child's wider personal development.

The school offers a range of facilities including a Forest School, art studios, an outdoor playground, a sensory room, a gymnasium, and a chapel. Sports provision includes gymnastics and swimming, and there is a book club for extracurricular enrichment. For children with additional needs, the school provides support for moderate learning difficulties, speech, language and communication needs, physical disabilities, and autistic spectrum disorder. Admission details are not provided in the data, so it's unclear whether the school is oversubscribed or how places are allocated. This nursery is best suited to Birmingham families looking for a Good-rated, inclusive early years setting with strong parent satisfaction and a broad range of facilities. Its small size and dedicated SEND provisions make it particularly appealing for parents of children with specific learning or communication needs.
