WELCOME TO MAGDALEN

We are extremely proud of our excellent facilities at Magdalen Nursery.  

We have the best quality fittings and furniture with the highest safety ratings.  All tables and chairs are wooden and robust.  Our toys are easily accessible by our children and cleaned daily to maintain hygiene standards.

We have an excellent CCTV system within our nursery for maintaining our strict safety guidelines.  It is constantly monitored on a large screen in the managers’ office.

We promote a healthy lifestyle by encouraging our children to be physically active and enjoying the outdoors. We have a fantastic, natural and secure gardens which are dedicated to our children. They have a variety of play equipment and toys and are a very special place in our nurseries.

Magdalen Nursery prides itself on its commitment to health and nutrition.

Our excellent in-house chefs implement a seasonal menu which is nutritionist approved and provides a balanced, delicious diet for our children.

Parents are kept informed of what their children eat with menus and through the daily diary.

Fees are all inclusive of nappies, toiletries, snacks and meals.

Every day at Magdalen Nursery is a mixture of child–led and adult directed activities with a curriculum based around learning through play.

Our fun and stimulating environment allows children to embrace their natural curiosity and enthusiasm for life.We believe that by providing a platform that supports children to discover and experiment, they will learn.

Magdalen Nursery is a registered early years provider and as such we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

The 7 key areas of learning in the EYFS are:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development 

• Communication and Language 

• Literacy 

• Mathematical Development 

• Knowledge and understanding of the World 

• Physical Development 

• Expressive arts and design

Children experiment, discover and learn in our creative, inspiring environments. 

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and its 7 key principles, our aim is to develop and teach children to become engaged learners. 

Each key learning area of the EYFS is explored to prepare them for the future – to help them become bright, alert and well-rounded children.  We learn through play, but learn fundamental literacy and numeracy skills, tolerance, respect and love for one another.

It is our goal to provide each child with a personal programme for development and learning.

Every child is treated as an individual and encouraged to learn at their own pace. 

Through careful observation and analysis, we document our children’s profiles and guide their development personally. 

This is structured through online portals which are accessible to parents throughout the day. We explore our children’s individual interests and build upon their existing knowledge, thereby teaching in a way that is both meaningful and interesting to each child.

We are a community nursery and our aim is to be at the heart of our local community, a place for parents to meet and a place for children to learn-a real social hub!

We also offer a NHS discount to support our local hospitals.

Parents are the child’s primary educator and it is essential that they build a strong and close relationship with us – the partnership between home and nursery is paramount to the child’s learning.

We provide a high level of opportunity for parent engagement and involvement throughout every aspect of our provision.

We plan and share lots of wonderful events throughout the year which provide lots of opportunities for our families and children to meet and mingle across all of our settings.

Magdalen Nursery has a robust and thorough safer recruitment process in place.

We are very meticulous in selecting only the best candidates for each position and conduct an enhanced vetting procedure and induction prior to any staff member joining our team.

We offer an impressive staff benefits package to our employees as we fully recognise the importance of valued staff.
