A place to grow

We offer a warm, welcoming environment supporting the transition from home to nursery, and we provide excellent nutritionally-balanced menus using fresh ingredients prepared by our own chef. We are only a short distance from Wallingford market town and Reading, we are easily accessible from the M40 and M4. Our highly qualifed team helped us secure an Outstanding rating in our latest Ofsted inspection.

Meet the Team

Sarah McGill

I have been in the nursery profession for 23 years and have worked at Mongewell for 10 years.  I have a wealth of knowledge and experience within the childcare sector; I have experienced childcare in nurseries, and schools that specialise in special educational needs.  I am NVQ level 2 and 3 qualified in childcare and have an NVQ level 3 in management qualification.

I love the fact that every day is different when looking after children and how honest children are; they teach the staff just as much as we teach them.  It is lovely to be a part of seeing the children meet their milestones and grow throughout their time with us at nursery. 


Jocelyn Earl

I have been in the nursery profession for 10 years and have a young child of my own. I have been at Mongewell since 2009 and have grown within my role here,starting as a nursery assistant and progressing to deputy manager. I have a level 2 and 3 NVQ IN Child care and Education. I also hold a Foundation Degree in Early Years.

I find working with young children rewarding, their curiosity and drive to learn is inspiring and refreshing.
