what sets us apart

People

We embrace a holistic approach that celebrates the relationship between parents and the nursery

Our passionate team is at the heart of MEplace, with the majority of our teachers holding education and psychology (or related) degrees. All team members receive specialised training to develop their skills and introduce them to our unique ethos, and everyone’s experience and qualities are valued. We look for each person's ‘superpowers’!

Activities & Curriculum

We embrace a holistic approach that celebrates the relationship between parents and the nursery

We take a holistic approach to early education, ensuring a personalised and impactful journey of development for every child. We call our curriculum the ‘Golden Thread’, as it weaves a path throughout our young learners’ MEplace experience from start to finish. The Golden Thread integrates EYFS early learning goals and age-related expectations with our MEplace values, underpinned by our core pillars of Mind, Body, People, Life, World and Fun. We offer daily enriching extracurriculars such as yoga, music, sports, STEM, cookery, Spanish and a Forest School programme. We also take the children on daily outings to parks and other places of interest in the local area, to enrich their learning experiences and offer opportunities for hands-on learning and exploration.

Environment

We embrace a holistic approach that celebrates the relationship between parents and the nursery

The MEplace environment is designed with everyone in mind. Our nurseries and MEclubs provide a safe, nurturing, stimulating space in which children are encouraged to grow, learn and explore. Our resources are selected to enhance wellbeing and stimulate imagination, while taking into consideration our impact on the world. We know that aesthetics are not the be-all-and-end-all, but a visually appealing environment makes for a more pleasant workplace experience!

Food

We embrace a holistic approach that celebrates the relationship between parents and the nursery

We see food as more than fuel. Our nurseries and MEclubs are fully plant-based, with healthy, child-friendly meals designed by a nutritionist and prepared fresh by our in-house chefs each day. We prioritise organic, locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients. And it’s not just the children who benefit – our team enjoys nutritious snacks on site, every day!
