About Us

Magdalene Preschool has been a cherished part of the community since 1982, offering a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children can thrive.

​

We believe that children learn best through play. Our approach encourages confidence, independence, resilience, kindness, and compassion—key qualities we aim to build in every child as they prepare for their next big step into school life.

​

At Magdalene, every day is filled with opportunities to explore, play, and participate. Children are free to choose the activities that interest them most, fostering a love of learning through curiosity and creativity. Our lovely outdoor space is a highlight, featuring a mud kitchen, bikes, a slide, and much more. Children enjoy singing songs, reading stories, and engaging in a variety of play-based learning activities.

​

We work closely and collaboratively with families to support each child’s unique journey, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and ready for school. Our most recent Ofsted inspection rated us 'Good overall with Outstanding features', a reflection of the care, dedication, and high-quality provision we provide. You can read the full report here.

Whether it's through a story, a game, or a moment in the mud kitchen, we’re proud to be shaping well-rounded children with strong foundations for the future.
