The Department for Education said 52 schools in the West Midlands will open or expand nurseries from September, in total creating around 1,000 new places for local children. 

Families in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, Birmingham, Dudley, Staffordshire, Walsall, Worcestershire, Sandwell, Warwickshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Coventry and Herefordshire will also benefit from a further boost to early education, with nurseries set to receive an additional £363 per child to support children from lower income backgrounds.

For those in Shropshire, that will mean new places at the following eight schools:
