Little Oaks Day Nursery
A Day at Nursery
A day in our nursery is designed to nurture your child's diverse development during their early months and years. While the specifics may vary, a typical day may include greeting parents and welcoming children, helping them settle in, setting up and clearing away activities, planning and leading engaging sessions, and ensuring safe play—both indoors and outdoors.
We offer a secure and structured environment for children under five, allowing them to play, develop essential skills, socialise, and make friends.
Arriving At Nursery
Welcome to Our Nursery!
As we begin another exciting day, our friendly nursery team and your child’s dedicated key person will be there to greet you with warm smiles.
​
Once inside, your child will join their peers in their nursery rooms. Each space, from the baby room to our pre-school rooms, is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique stages of development, creating an inviting atmosphere for exploration and learning.
With our curiosity approach, your child will engage with a wealth of resources and a variety of stimulating activities. These are crafted to ignite their curiosity and support their growth, ensuring that they feel at home and eager to discover each day.
Child Led Play
Endless Exploration and Imagination!
​
At our nursery, children have the freedom to explore and play with a wide array of resources. They can engage light boards and art resources, enjoy dress-up stations, and dive into our Little Oaks Library.
​
Kids can sort materials, create stories, and immerse themselves in imaginative play, whether it’s through block building, sensory experiences, or water play.
They also have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the world around them using mini-models of vehicles, animals, and people, or by conducting research on our digital tables.
Mealtimes
Lunchtime: A Delicious and Social Experience!
​
Lunch is a wonderful time for children to enjoy a freshly prepared, balanced meal made by our on-site chefs. With a healthy and varied menu every day, we encourage children to explore different tastes and textures. Sharing a meal with their peers not only fosters social connections but also enhances their overall dining experience.
Outdoor Learning
Our outdoor areas provide an exciting environment for your child to explore and take risks with the support of our dedicated team. Outdoor play fosters natural curiosity and encourages children to engage in activities that enhance their gross motor skills—all while enjoying the benefits of fresh air and nature.
Educator Led Learning
Each day, our educators lead small group or individual sessions focusing on communication and emotional literacy, as well as yoga and cookery.
They encourage discussions and research on new topics, helping children expand their understanding of the world around them.
​
Things like storytelling sessions, hands-on science experiments, or creative arts and crafts keep our little learners engaged and curious.
Home Time
At home time, parents are encouraged to come in and chat with our educators to hear all about their child’s day and accomplishments. It’s a wonderful opportunity to get to know the team and other parents, as well as to ask any questions about your child’s progress.
​
If you have something specific to discuss, our managers are always available for a quick chat or a longer meeting to address your concerns.
