Day Nurseries

There are eight Milton Keynes Council Day Nurseries around the city so you are sure to find one that is convenient to your home or workplace. Whichever of our day nurseries you choose for your child, you can be re-assured that it will be:



And in every MK Council Day Nursery, ALL staff members are qualified and all are extremely professional and experienced.

To provide a safe, caring, fun and stimulating place for your child to grow and develop. Through play, and with help from experienced nursery staff, children develop language, grow physically and emotionally and by being with other children they develop socially. It is also important to us that children have fun!

We are committed to providing quality childcare and pre-school education. Play at our nurseries is fun, non-discriminatory, non-racist, non-sexist and non-aggressive.

Our staff in the nurseries are qualified and experienced, with a genuine interest in children.

Before your child arrives at nursery they will be matched with a member of staff who will take an extra special interest in your child's growth and well being.

That person will regularly meet with you to let you know how your child is progressing.

The best way to find out about our nurseries is to come and see them. The links above give more individual information on each one and how you can arrange a visit. For general information on Milton Keynes Council Day Nurseries telephone (01908) 258051 or (01908) 258052.

Our programming of activities provides the Birth to Three Matters Framework (0-3 years) and the Foundation Stage Curriculum as set out by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). The Birth to Three Matters Framework recognises that all children from birth have a need to develop and learn through interaction with people and exploration of the world around them.

The Foundation Stage is a crucial stage in terms of the children's all round development and of their wellbeing. It is a distinct stage, important in its own right and in preparing children for school.

It is designed for children from 3 years of age up to the end of their Reception Year in school.

All Milton Keynes Day Nurseries have been successfully inspected by OfSTED, which means that they can be paid the Government Nursery Education Grant for all 3 and 4 year olds. This grant can reduce the level of fees you have to pay.
