A Day at Oakwood Nursery

A day at Oakwood has a soft, magical flow — full of calm moments, meaningful play and little sparks of discovery.
Our routines help children feel secure while giving them plenty of freedom to explore and learn in their own way.

Here’s what a typical day looks like:

• A warm, welcoming start as children settle into the nursery
• Morning movement time, helping everyone feel energised and ready for the day
• Small group morning meetings, creating a calm space for talking, sharing and gentle activities
• Free-flow indoor and outdoor play, allowing children to explore their interests naturally
• Sensory room visits, where twinkling lights, soft textures and cosy spaces offer moments of calm and wonder
• Little Town role-play, a magical miniature village where imaginations unfold
• Rolling healthy snack, supporting independence and giving children choice throughout the morning
• Creative and hands-on learning, from painting and building to nature exploration
• Playful early maths, woven into everyday activities through counting, matching and pattern spotting
• Story time and singing, bringing the group together for a calm, shared moment
• Lunch and outdoor play for full-day children
• Afternoon adventures, with more time in the garden, sensory rooms or Little Town as the day gently winds down

Our days are designed to feel calm, joyful and full of natural opportunities for learning — a place where children can grow, imagine and feel truly at home.

🍃 Play and Discovery

From the moment children arrive, they step into a story of play, friendship, and endless possibilities.
There are treasures to find, ideas to explore, and dreams to chase — through painting, building, singing, storytelling, and discovering the beauty of the outdoors.
