The Early Years Academy Shrewsbury

Discover our nurturing nursery in the heart of Shrewsbury, where we create awe and wonder in an environment full of possibilities for every child. At The Early Years Academy Shrewsbury, we offer enriched, natural spaces that support children to enjoy the present while building strong foundations for wellbeing and learning. Guided by our ethos of Belonging, Being, and Becoming, children feel secure, valued, and grow in confidence, independence, and a love of learning. Our approach is child-centred, with educators carefully observing and responding to each child, creating meaningful, in-the-moment learning experiences that nurture curiosity and resilience.

Our sensory-rich environments use natural materials, open-ended resources, and calm spaces to encourage creativity and problem-solving, alongside daily outdoor learning that supports physical development and emotional wellbeing. We work in close partnership with parents through open communication and shared experiences. Our inclusive, needs-led approach ensures early identification, clear planning, and regular review, with our SENDCo supporting families and professionals to provide the right level of support—creating a collaborative environment where every child becomes confident, capable, and ready for their next stage.

Why Choose Us?

Choosing the right nursery for your child is a big decision. At The Early Years Academy we take the stress out of that decision by providing a safe and stimulating environment where your child can thrive and become all that they can be.

What Parents Love About Us

Alison S

Mother of Child

There is quite simply no-where else I would consider sending my children. Most amazing, caring, educational and nurturing environment for our little ones. The staff are outstanding and their love for the children is genuine and heart warming. It feels more like an extended family.

Laura W

Mother of Child

The most fantastic setting with children taught in low ratios with fully qualified teachers and practitioners and excellent support staff. Imaginative use of resources to help children learn whilst still enjoying a fun and stimulating environment. My little boy is in preschool and will be prepared for reception in September through the regular teacher/pupil reading and phonics time. Nowhere else quite like it.

Emily B

Mother of Child

Such a wonderful place! From the first time I stepped through the doors I knew it would be the right place for my little boy. My son loves going to nursery and his development has come on so much in a short time. When we arrive in the morning we are always greater with a smile and he is itching to get down and play. We always have a full nights sleep after nursery, which is wonderful for all the family!

Juliet G

Mother of Child

Outstanding nursery in every way, I’m a child-minder and completely didn’t like the idea of my daughter going to a nursery, but she needed time away from me, when I found this nursery I was delighted, 100% better than any other I looked at. Very professional, extremely caring and friendly.

Elizabeth G

Mother of Child

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old. She is now nearly 2. She loves going to nursery and the care she receives is brilliant. I will be sending my second child there too when the time comes.
