About this day nursery
Park View Childcare in Woodstock is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and high-quality learning environment where children can flourish and learn independently, guided by their own interests and ideas. The day nursery prioritises strong pedagogical practices, informed by meticulous observation, planning, and assessment, to support each child's individual needs and developmental journey.
They aim to strike a balance between activities led by adults and those initiated by children, predominantly following the children's natural play interests. The overarching goal is to provide outstanding early childhood education through diverse opportunities that enable children to develop concentration, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the natural world, thereby empowering them to become confident and capable lifelong learners.
Our ethos
Our approach is to deliver outstanding early childhood education through the provision of rich opportunities for all children to build, through play, skills such as concentration, curiosity, and a love for the natural world. Thus, actively supporting each child to grow into a competent and confident learner as they develop their skills and abilities.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, those known to social care and those who face barriers to learning, take part and make progress alongside their peers. Leaders work closely with parents and other professionals to shape support for children and use additional funding thoughtfully to adapt support when needed.
Outdoor space
Leaders promote children's physical development through regular outdoor exploration in the setting and the local community, including visits to the grounds of Blenheim Palace. Children enjoy exploring the natural world outdoors and notice how trees, plants and flowers change over time. Staff support children in learning about the world, growth, nature and the environment by teaching them how to care for vegetables and flowers.
