Oakhill Community Nursery

About this day nursery

The staff team, consisting of five members, are dedicated to creating a friendly and secure environment for children, with individualised settling-in procedures for new starters. The nursery emphasises communication and language development, with staff narrating actions and repeating key words to help children become confident communicators.

The manager, who is experienced, ensures a good understanding of curriculum priorities and supports staff in developing their teaching skills through supervision and training. Children benefit from a well-equipped outdoor area that promotes physical skills and exploration of nature.

Parents hold the nursery in high regard, appreciating the friendly staff and the regular updates on children's activities and care routines, along with useful resources like a lending library to support learning at home. Oakhill Community Nursery actively supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, as well as new families from diverse backgrounds, fostering an inclusive environment where children learn about differences.
