Woden Road North Nursery was established in 2008 as part of the development of the Wednesbury Children's Centre on the Old Park school site in Wednesbury. The nursery was operated, since opening, by the Governing Body of Old Park Primary School. The nursery has always had a good reputation and regularly had a waiting list for places. The governing body took the decision that it could no longer operate the nursery and it was closed in April 2023. The school has an excellent reputation in the community and are committed to a positive working relationship with any new provider. The Governors feel it is vital that any new provider is able to deliver a quality provision that mirrors the high standards of the school.
