The Old Station Nursery Henley

The Old Station Nursery is set in a rural area on the edge of Henley and is just the place for little ones who love tearing around in the great outdoors! It is a real outdoors nursery, set within its own extensive grounds and surrounded by picturesque fields and woodlands.

Henley has an enhanced focus on Organic Food is part of an engaging curriculum instilling curiosity, creativity and well-being. Children grow, tend and harvest their own produce. By doing this, the children learn the different environments plants need in order to grow, types of fruit and vegetables and how to cook and use their produce for eating. The organic food children grow and eat is highly nutritious and meets the standards of the SOIL Association and Food For Life.

Henley also has a Cookery enhancement and is equipped with specialist children’s cooking and baking equipment that are designed to be safe and have easy grip handles, ready to support the children’s culinary adventures. By exploring their senses, children build adventurous palates, and through the process of learning to cook, learn valuable skills such as; early maths skills including counting and measuring, learning to listen, concentrate and follow instructions safely, sequencing and creative thinking.

Henley offers children the chance to learn through Forest School teaching. Rather than just using classroom resources and equipment, children can use natural materials found in the woodland and enjoy activities such as collecting sticks and leaves, tying knots, making dens, handling tools, using twigs to write in the mud, jumping across stones and much more.

So there is plenty of opportunity at The Old Station Nursery Henley for your little one to explore the world around them, get up close with Mother Nature and have fun learning and growing in the fresh Oxfordshire air. Read less
