The Oxford Nursery

We are passionate about caring for the needs of children and second only to safety our primary concern is to create an environment to nurture the best start in life. We have a dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable team of staff at all 3 sites.
30 Hour Government Funding Available
Your Trusted Child Care Provider
Outline of Funding Info:
Please speak to your Nursery Manager to find out more:-
All 3 and 4-year-olds in England currently receive 15 hours a week government funded early education. If their parents are living and working in England, 3 and 4-year-olds may be entitled to 30 hours funded childcare, which is up to 1,140 hours per year in total!
If eligible you will be entitled to access the 30 funded hours from the beginning of the term following your child’s 3rd birthday. At The Oxford Nursery, we want to make sure that families can utilise this funding to its fullest potential. This is why we stretch the funding across 52 weeks as opposed to the term time 38 week period. Our parents work all year and have asked for annualised prices and annualised funding allocations. This enables part-time families to access more of the funded hours than would otherwise be available to them if restricted under a term time structure. For more information about how this scheme works just ask your nursery manager.
The Pre-school Seat of Learning
Over 20 years of caring pre-school education
The Oxford Nursery has always been the pre-school seat of learning. Children lead and create their own play both indoors and outside. By ensuring children feel safe and secure, they are encouraged to play and learn with gentle guidance by adults. Whether it is close motor skills work or cloud interpretations its all fun and its all educational.
Being part of the nursery from Freshers (0-2 years), Sophomores (2-3 years) and Scholars (3-5 years) the children make friends, interact with each other and staff throughout their time with us. In no time at all you will learn the names of your childrens new friends and carers.
We love messy play, just look at our Facebook page to see all the daily activities the children get up too. Imaginations run wild from spacemen & dinosaurs to all the colours of the rainbow.
Regular gardening and growing all sorts of great vegetables are then harvested and cooked, often by our little chefs. We are certain we will have a Cordon Bleu chef someday.
All of these experiences and learning journeys are captured throughout the day and parents/guardians receive daily updates.

Oxford Nursery is fabulous!! I have 2 little girls (2 and 10 months) and they always come home from nursery very happy, which is the best indicator of how well a nursery is doing. The staff are brill and are constantly thinking of creative ways to teach the children. Their enthusiasim and patience is remarkable. I am always exctied to see what they have been up to and it is always something that the girls are facinated with - from water play, learning from nature, themed days, cooking, sensory experiences, singing... The team have endless energy and are always accomodating to the parents and of course the childrens needs! I could go on but you get the idea!

My daughter has been attending The Oxford Nursery at Summertown for nearly 2 years, the team have done an amazing job with her, and she's always so happy to see her friends and get stuck into the wonderful activities they provide. I would recommend the Summertown nursery to anyone who would listen.
J J Slee
Our son has been at the Summertown Oxford Nursery since he was 9 weeks. Yes they will take babies that young and whilst I appreciate that isn't for everyone, they have been fantastic with him and a great support for me as a first time mum. The staff are friendly, caring and genuinely passionate about their work and the children they care for. The online learning journal and detailed hangovers each day mean we know what he's been up to and how he's developing and we can let them know what he does when he's not at nursery.
They have great facilities including both a sand garden and the more regular grass kind with a herb patch and a mud kitchen among other things.
If you are looking for a friendly environment where you can trust that your child is getting a good start in life this is definitely a good choice.
M Moorhouse
Our Son has been going here since he was 9 weeks, we were obviously nervous at the time as he was such a tiny. He is now a monstrous 18 months, he is confident, out going and active. This nursery is fantastic, Julie and the team are amazing. They are fantastic at treating all the kids as individuals and working to bring them along in whatever areas the children want. There is no way we would consider putting him anywhere else.
D Moorhouse
Such a wonderful place for the children to start education. Everyday something new and exciting is planned, lots of activities with plenty of good food and outside play. We really feel like the nursery team is part of the family.
J Smith
My son attends the Chalgrove nursery and has been very happy there. The staff are very friendly and incredibly supportive in every possible way. I have every confidence that they support, nurture and discipline my child as I would at home. There's always plenty of cuddles!
My son loves showing me round when I pick him up and telling me all about the nursery. I struggle to get him to leave!
I would highly recommend to anyone considering taking their child there. It's a 'home away from home'.
