Maggie's Nursery

Our daughter has had a far superior experience here than her brother had at another setting .

Thank you for all you have done for her!

The staff here are amazing and go above and beyond. The facilities are amazing and always being improved. My child loves his time here and the learning is based around the children and their developmental level which they can adjust for the children making everyone's experience better

The staff can't do enough and the facilities are second to none. Get a place here, out first born went to another nursery and it don't even come close to the professionalism and service provided at Maggie's. Simply superb.

I have no hesitation in recommending Maggie's to any parent looking to for the right setting for their child/ren. My daughter started when she was 14 months, when I went back to work, and has grown and developed throughout her time with the amazing staff at the nursery, and they are now helping her to get ready to start school in September! From learning to speak, recognising and writing her name, learning to count, to developing key behavioural skills through playing independently and with other children in her group, to exploring the forest (including work in the cabin and teepee if the weather is too wet for being in the fresh air) and looking after the animals who are a big part of the nursery. I love the level of communication the nursery has with parents to support with development at home, as well as providing support (incl. workshops) in terms of behaviour/potty training etc. Professional but friendly and caring - its like home from home for my daughter.

A credit to the staff who are all round brilliant along with the facility. Second to none.

We've always found the nursery to be brilliant. Both of our children now go here and they both thoroughly enjoy it. I recently attended a Mother's Day event with my eldest which was absolutely fantastic. A great mix of activities to bond with my son in his environment. He loved showing me all of the things he likes to do at nursery and giving me a tour of the amazing outside space. One of many well organised events. Highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare.

My son is cared for in the Puddle-Duck room. As a first time Mum, I was very nervous leaving my baby to go back to work. The first key worker I met has been outstanding. She made me feel at ease and my son became fond of her very quickly. He has now been at Maggies for over 3 months and loves all the staff there and has developed in himself massively. He always has a huge smile on his face at pick ups because he has so much fun here. Thank you to all the girls for your hard work!

One of the best nurseries around. Amazing staff who really care for the kids and take the time to get to know them. Very good grounds and activities offered including woodwork that my son loves. Cannot fault them, thank you all for the amazing job you do !

A massive shoutout to the Jemima Puddleducks ladies, you are honestly the best!

Our son has attended Maggies since he was 7 months old and the level of care he's received in both rooms so far has been outstanding. He makes wonderful relationships with the ladies looking after him and his development has really shone through. He goes in happy and comes out happy and that's really given us confidence as parents that he really enjoys his days at nursery. In addition to that, the environment, and indoor and outdoor spaces are beyond compare and it really feels a very special place and community to be part of.

The outside space is wonderful as are the room themes

Maggie's Day Nursery and Forest School is a very special place. We have seen our son flourish at nursery; he genuinely loves his time there. He is very happy and confident at nursery and is making strong friendships with other children and has a great relationship with staff. Everyone in the team is passionate about ensuring children have the best and most enjoyable learning experience. They maintain strong communication with us as parents and create a welcoming environment for everyone. The nursery has an amazing range of toys and learning materials. Our son loves being outside and the nursery has large grounds for outdoor play. The Forest School is exceptional.

Our experience with Children's 1st has been really good from day 1. All the staff are friendly and have built positive relationships with our son. His development has come along leaps and bounds and I cannot thank the team enough for providing a safe space for him to learn and grow into his personality more whilst he is in their care.

Ever since our son started at Maggie's in July, we have had nothing but positive experiences. All staff truly care about the children and this is so evident through the way they look after them, the nursery itself and the provision they provide. Communication with parents is effective and clear. The staff have always been incredibly helpful and go above and beyond, every day. Our son settled in really quickly and loves going to nursery. We would recommend Maggie's to everyone!

My daughter has been at Maggie's since September 2023. I knew the moment I went to view the setting that it would be the one to support my daughter in flourishing into a little girl. As a teacher myself, when I saw the nursery in action and the activities and establishment that they had set up was second to none. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds and to see her excel in her development, primarily thanks to those at Maggie's, is so wonderful. Her daily achievements and developmental milestones are continuously being achieved. The staff throughout the establishment are warm, welcoming and loving and seeing her grow as she has progressed through the different rooms is amazing. I honestly recommend the nursery to every mother and expectant mother I know and I will continue to use the establishment for my future children which I am hopeful for. Thank you all, you're worth your weight in gold.

Both of my boys attend Maggie's. They are so happy and so eager to arrive every morning. The eldest gets a real variety of activities from forest school to the creative and cookery rooms. The youngest is so confident, he just walks into the room and doesn't look back!

We would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Children 1st @ Oakwood and would thoroughly recommend this nursery!

My 2 girls attend the nursery 2 days a week and they love it and always enjoy going. The facilities available to them are amazing and the setting is beautiful. The staff are outstanding, lovely and professional and they work so hard every day.
