Magic Box

Magic Box is a small, friendly outdoor-inspired not-for-profit Ofsted registered pre-school nestled amongst rolling fields in the village of Wellow in Somerset. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage to ensure children learn through play, with a balance of child/adult led activities. We take inspiration from the wealth of countryside resources on our doorstep with regular welly walks and rural adventures throughout the seasons.

A parent recently commented "It's striking how well the staff get on together and how much you love working here". This is because we're unusual; our core staff, all of whom are mothers, have been with Magic Box for years. We're colleagues as well as friends who work together as a close, professional unit.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage to ensure children learn through play, with a balance of child/adult led activities. We shape learning with inspiration from the wealth of countryside resources on our doorstep, as well as the interests of the children in our care. Here some of our children talk about what they do in a day.

Here you can find answers to the most commonly asked questions. If you can't find the information you're looking for, please just give us a ring or send us an email. We invite you to a stay and play session with your child which is usually an hour, then another where your child stays on their own. We know that this can be a big moment for you and your child.
