  • Medua Bilingual Nursery, Welling
Medua Bilingual Nursery is a new nursery in Welling but has been operating since 2014 in a childminding setting. All employees are DBS checked qualified and have enough experience in the early years and pre-school education sector.

Medua Bilingual caters for children aged from 5 months to 8 years old.

The nursery occupies a ground floor unit with two rooms and another two more rooms upstairs, which are all divided into sections adapted to meet the needs of their children. There is also an outdoor play garden and a nearby park. The outdoor play area is well resourced and homely for the children.

Also as the name states Medua Bilingual is a two-language operating nursery, therefore French will be used as a second language during play. Although English is the primary language.

Medua Bilingual is OFSTED regulated since June 2017 and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements. Standard reports, policies and other relevant information are available on the parents' notice board and on request. Their last inspection report was good (October 2019).

Medua Bilingual Nursery's aim is to provide a comfortable learning environment where children will feel safe and happy. They work in partnership with parents and other professional agencies. This is to help meet the required needs of their children through sharing knowledge and experiences.

Staff believe a child learns best through play and personal experience, so their intention, therefore, is to provide a balanced, structured free flow learning that will encourage lots of free choices and less formal areas of learning.

Very good nursery. Friendly staff and my child had an excellent educational journey. He was very well looked after. I would recommend this nursery. The fee is also affordable. I would miss the outdoor educative trips. My child learnt so much from here.

I am incredibly grateful to have found Medua Bilingual Nursery for my children. My 18-month-old son has been attending this nursery for 8 months, following in the footsteps of his brother, who started there at 10 months old and continued until reception class. The care and attention my son receives
here is exceptional. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the well-being, education, and communication of the children. My son always comes home happy and content, which speaks volumes about the environment and the quality of care provided.
The facilities are clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities that promote learning and development. My son's progress in his development and socialization is amazing.
I highly recommend Medua Bilingual Nursery to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring nursery for their little ones.

I couldn't be more happy with the service provided by the manager and her team. They go above and beyond for my two boys and it's truly appreciated.
As an example: last summer, she set up sessions on Saturdays to help children with speech difficulties, including the parents in the activities, and made
it fun for everybody. By the end of the series, my child's speech had improved tremendously. The kids are also well prepared for reception: my oldest knew all his phonics going out of the nursery and is now an avid reader and is also very good in French and asks about them often.
The little ones are also taught the importance of kindness, respect and teamwork. The nursery also organises fun activities such as trips to the sea, amusement parks, the library and swimming.
They also give regular updates on my child's progress and make a work plan with specific milestones to be achieved by the end of a certain period. In short, I am very pleased with Medua and highly recommend them.

My son is very happy to go to the nursery. The staff is competent and professional. The nursery provides the child with that initial environment where the experience of learning begins. Would recommend this nursery to other parents as well.

My daughter has been attending Medua Bilingual Nursery for nearly two years, following in the footsteps of my older son, who was also enrolled there. I must say, this is the best nursery we have found in our area.
The teachers at Medua Bilingual Nursery are outstanding. They genuinely care about the
well-being and development of my children in every aspect, from behaviour to academics. The bilingual program has been incredibly beneficial, and I have seen significant progress in my children's language skills and overall growth.
The nurturing environment and dedicated staff make Medua Bilingual Nursery a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and effective early childhood education experience.

Reply from Theresa Achapu, Owner at Medua Bilingual Nursery

The nursery has a warm and inviting environment, my children have attended over a year and I feel reassured my children are getting the best care. The children learn French daily and make good use of activities. Well done to the whole team.

Medua Bilingual Nursery has helped my daughter progress, learn, interact and play. The carers there take their time teaching the kids, as I know from mine, she has learnt so much and her vocabulary is very extensive for her age. Also, this nursery is accommodating for working parents.

My son really enjoys nursery. He has progressed well especially his speech and language. His social skills have improved lately and he also enjoys his weekly homework.
The staff are always polite and engaging and it is a delight to hear them speaking in French and English.

Our youngest seems really happy at Medua Bilingual Nursery. The staff are lovely, we're told every day of any issues or concerns. The facilities have been significantly updated since we previously had our eldest there a few years ago. We feel our child having started since he was 1 year old is learning
a lot there and we feel we have input on where the nursery can help putting our minds at ease. Well organised, bright and clean.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.462)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.462) out of 10 for Medua Bilingual Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.762 for Medua Bilingual Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.762

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Medua Bilingual Nursery is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 7 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
