Oakwood House Nursery and Forest School

My son started at Oakwood, three days per week from the age of 7 month until leaving for school this week. I cannot recommend this place enough, everything from the staff, grounds, activities, menu choices are simply outstanding. My child came home filthy everyday with the biggest smile on his face, as a parent, what else could you ask for! Thank you Oakwood.

My daughter, aged 4.5 has just left Oakwood House Nursery having been there since 10 months old. She has loved every minute! All the staff have been kind, caring and very easy to chat with. She has had so many lovely opportunities such as learning Spanish, Yoga and the fantastic forest school experiences. I have been so happy with how she has developed and how much she has learnt through play. The learning at Oakwood is so age appropriate - she's always having fun and being active. She has loved all her keyworkers and has made some lovely friends. My little boy is in the baby room now and he is absolutely loving being in the outdoors so much - it is the perfect place for him! Thank you!

My daughter learned so much while she was attending Oakwood House Nursery, the staff were very helpful, kind and patient with her. Outstanding Management and great building.

I would recommend to everyone who wants to build their child's confidence because the forest school is the best.

The staff are all very caring, professional and approachable. My son loves going to the nursery every time he goes. He enjoys himself and comes home happy and very mucky which means he's having a fabulous time.

I have two sons now at Oakwood. One who has been there for just over two years and the other just starting on his journey. The staff are great and have supported my child's learning and family throughout. They come home fulfilled and ready for there next adventure at nursery! The new addition of ParentZone is great and makes viewing and adding your child's experiences very easy. I would highly recommend Oakwood House!

Oakwood is an amazing nursery. We were thrilled when our son was accepted. The staff are superb. They are very attentive, professional and caring. There are plenty of activities all the time and the gardens are huge. Our son loves being outside getting muddy and learning about the seasons so Oakwood was our number one choice. I have friends with children here and others in the process of applying due to how fab it is.

Both my boys have been through Oakwood House as their Pre-School experience, so I've been involved with the nursery for 5 years now. I have always been extremely impressed with the hard work of the staff in the nursery, the quality of the learning environments both inside and outside, the food provided and extra activities such as yoga and Forest School. The most important aspect of having my children in the nursery was always that they enjoyed it and that I felt they were safe. My boys have always enjoyed their days at nursery, making wonderful long-lasting friendships, and the staff are extremely well trained and work hard to create a very safe environment for the children.

An amazing place for children! Both our children have been at Oakwood House from 6 months onwards. The eldest graduating in September 2015 with a full Forest School diploma in early years life skills -preparing him excellently for his first year at school and also giving him social and physical skills to take into everyday life. Our youngest is currently in Pre-School 1, like his brother loves attending to explore both outdoor and indoor. The outdoor space is one that you could have only have dreamed of as a child, exploring in all weathers, learning how plants grow etc and most importantly "where bears live in their den". The staff have been a credit to their profession and have contributed so much to the development of our children with the right balance of free play and structured learning and love. Knowing your child is learning whilst being active, having fun and eating the healthiest meals is a real comfort. When we have cheers that it is Tuesday and it's nursery, says it all.

My son started at Oakwood House Nursery and Forest School in the baby room, he's now a toddler and has flourished at Oakwood. The staff, facilities and activities provided are second to none. My son loves every single minute at Oakwood. He has gained in confidence and is a very happy little chap. I can't praise Oakwood House Nursery and Forest School enough and would thoroughly recommend it to any parent (Providing you don't mind them coming home filthy every now and again!)

My two year old son is cared for at Oakwood House 2 days per week in the toddler room. I cannot rave enough about how much he enjoys his time there. He is a very active little boy which is perfect as there is never a dull moment in the toddler room. The kids absolutely love being outside in all weathers. They have the right equipment to ensure they are warm and can focus on having fun. There are no plastic bikes or toys outside, the kids spend organised time enjoying nature and my son is thriving doing that. Of course much of what makes nursery enjoyable is the connection children have with the staff. My son's key worker- he adores her. Talks about her at home and is really happy to see her when we drop her off. She is fantastic. Oakwood House should be proud to have her which I am sure they are.

The staff are excellent, highly skilled and very caring. Highly recommend this nursery and with our second child due this year, we shall certainly be back.

Excellent staff who are very welcoming. We wanted our daughter to play outside as much as possible and outdoor facilities including the mud kitchen and woodland area is perfect for her. She has settled in well and made lots of friends after moving nurseries from Oakworth and we couldn't happier.

My daughter has attended Oakwood since she was 9 months old and is now ready for school in September she is such a happy , confident little girl and absolutely loves nursery, receiving exceptional care and love from all the staff who care for her.

We are extremely disappointed with the level of care for our son in recent months. We had a very good experience during his time in the baby and toddler rooms however this has not been the case in pre-school. We are sad to say that we feel when things are raised to management no real effort is made to ensure situations don't reoccur.

My child has been at Oakwood for almost three years. She enjoys going every day and has progressed well in the nurturing environment. Staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and provide engaging activities which promote independence and a love of learning.

Our daughter started attending Oakwood in September 2014 at 10 months old. She is happy and extremely well cared in the toddler room, now aged 2, just as she was in the baby room. She has had two incredible key workers who have both been dedicated to her care and well being, showing affection beyond what I could have hoped for from a nursery. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Oakwood house. I agonised over my choice of nursery but feel glad every day that I chose this one.
