Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for all children, including children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), is highly effective. The staff team are exceptionally proactive in identifying children who need additional help. Working alongside families and professionals, they aim for all children to have the same opportunities.

Outdoor space

Staff create exceptional opportunities for children to develop their skills indoors and outdoors, regardless of the weather. As children explore the environment, they use magnifying glasses to examine a millipede they have found. Children have excellent support to develop their physical skills when they are outside as they explore the exciting environment.

⭐ Extremely Disappointed Experience I’m very disappointed with my experience at this nursery. After completing the registration process for my child and paying the full fee for a term, they cancelled my child’s place without any notice, while my child was already on his way to the nursery. This behaviour is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. The sudden cancellation after receiving full payment showed a complete lack of consideration for families. There are many other nurseries in Oxford that offer the same (or even better) services and treat parents with professionalism and respect. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this nursery to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy childcare.

Had the honour to experience the children at Wellford Gardens Residential Care Home today. They are so well behaved and we had a beautiful morning with them. The nursery staff were superb in guiding and encouraging the children. It was fabulous to see such young children gaining such confidence and social interaction through the activities. Thank you and looking forward to your next visit

This is not just a nursery, it is much much more than that. These people are amazing, both in what they do and who they are. The staff is driven, professional, invested and, more importantly, very human and caring. They create a loving environment with enough solid structure for children to grow as human. I cannot reccomend this place and these people enough!

An award winning, consistently rated outstanding by OFSTED simply great place for young children to learn and grow. Four of our children have gone to nursery here over 14 years - all of whom still talk very fondly of their time there and all of whom love to go back and visit The Aunties. A great start in life... highly recommended.
