Welcome to Maggie’s
Play | Learn | Kindness
At Maggie’s we believe that every child deserves a nurturing and stimulating environment where they can play, grow, learn, and thrive. Children should spend as much time as possible in the great outdoors being nurtured with nature, feeling free to run and explore vibrant, natural spaces. That’s why at Maggie’s we seize every opportunity to be outside, with our children frequently enjoying our forest school, alfresco dining and outdoor sleeping.
Our approach and our environment led to us being named ‘The UK’s Best Outdoor Learning Environment’ at the 2023 Nursery Management Today Awards and to be rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
From our thoughtfully designed playrooms to our enriching, award-winning outdoor play areas and forest school, every aspect of our nursery is crafted to inspire curiosity and foster a love of learning. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and joyful space where children can explore their interests and develop their unique talents, preparing them for a bright and successful future.
Our committed team of educators are passionate about offering the highest quality care and education for your little ones and carefully plan and deliver our exciting curriculums to ensure each child thrives. When we recruit new team members, we look beyond their qualifications, seeking individuals with kind hearts who align with our values and ethos, and are excited to join us on our journey
Kindness is one of our core values, we strive to foster an atmosphere of empathy, respect, and inclusivity, where every child learns the importance of kindness and compassion towards themselves and others.
We invite you to join our Maggie’s family and embark on this exciting journey with us. Whether you’re looking for a warm and loving place for your baby or a dynamic and engaging environment for your preschooler, we are the perfect nursery to meet your family’s needs.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Maggie’s!
