Stephen Perse Nurseries & Early Years - Madingley
At our Cambridge Madingley site we offer the following classes – Baby, Toddler, Rising three's and Kindergarten.
In each class the children’s learning opportunities and experiences are aimed at developing the skills they need to be successful. Through having each of these classes in our early years provision we can plot a child’s learning journey knowing what they need in Reception and discovering how best to support them in achieving ‘school readiness’.
We think that life is an adventure and we help our boys and girls to embrace it with confidence, independence and joy. While our nursery at Madingley has its own unique personality and features, it shares the same commitment to play-based learning and development, the same approach to health and nutrition, and the same exceptional level of childcare as the other Stephen Perse Nurseries.
Children at Madingley forge a strong connection with nature and the environment thanks to the outdoor play areas and on-site Forest School. Combined with the beautiful buildings we occupy, it’s the perfect place for our nursery children to develop and learn.
Facilities at Madingley
Our nursery for ages 1-3 is located in a beautiful lodge, full of creative spaces and cozy areas. Our Kindergarten and Reception classrooms are in a picturesque Victorian schoolhouse, along with a light, spacious hall.
Our large playground has climbing frames and balance equipment, perfect for improving coordination and burning off energy, and our garden includes sensory play areas including a mud kitchen.
Surrounded by nature, we offer lots of opportunities for children to explore the world around them, including our on-site Forest School.
