THE SELLY OAK NURSERY SCHOOL LAND AND BUILDINGS
The Charity provides the land and buildings for the benefit of children's education in the Selly Oak Area. We currently lease the property to Birmingham City Council for the use of Selly Oak Nursery School which has existed on the site since the property was built. We work closely with the school to ensure that the property provides a wonderful educational setting for children.

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £408,629 at 31 March 2025, alongside a property valuation of £120,000. The trustees report that the council cleared all rental arrears by the end of the financial year, although they note that progress on negotiating a new commercial lease has been slow due to a lack of engagement from the Council. The charity also sold an unused asset (the ex-caretaker's house) to raise funds for school improvements.
