Exploration and learning at our nursery in Staffordshire

Welcome to Milford Day Nursery and Preschool, where our experienced practitioners are dedicated to the care and education of children aged 3 months to 5 years. Your child will love spending their days in our Ofsted rated Good nursery surrounded by beautiful fields and farmland.

An Enriching Environment for all Ages

You'll feel at ease as your little one transitions from home to nursery life in our lovely setting, run by nurturing staff and based in a beautiful converted Victorian school.

Each of our rooms is specially equipped for different age groups, ensuring your child always has the best resources for their age and development. Their learning experiences will be enriched with our Growing Enhancements programme, which helps them develop key skills in areas including reading, writing, maths, science, and art.

Children also enjoy Boogie Mites active music-making sessions, with their exciting opportunities to learn through music and song.

Getting Ready for Their Next Steps

To ensure your little learner is ready to start school, the room sizes increase with age, helping your child to adjust to a larger classroom setting. Preschoolers take part in our Ready for School programme, which introduces a new structure and focus to their learning, maths, reading, writing and other essential skills they need to get ready for school.

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
