The Dream Nest Oaklands Nursery opened in January 2017.
Situated in Englefield Green, with beautiful natural surroundings and a large outdoor space, the setting offers quality care for children aged three months to five years old.
It is a secure and exciting indoor and outdoor environment, designed to stimulate each child’s natural curiosity, exploration, play and imagination.
At the nursery, staff recognise all children as individuals with unique ability profiles. The nursery values and nurtures each child to understand individual interests, development, and learning. A play-based curriculum is offered, underpinning all areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Qualified staff work closely with families to create a home-from-home environment, taking into consideration the diverse cultural backgrounds of each child.
Staff provide a variety of well-balanced, nutritious meals freshly prepared on site daily. Menus are regularly reviewed and altered to reflect this.
Children are encouraged to take an active part in the nursery routine, including participation in a self-service system promoted by staff in the nursery room.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We couldn't be happier with Oaklands! All staff are amazing and go above and beyond in every way. Our toddler loves all the themed activities, and they even have special visits from animals like llamas! Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos that keep us involved. The graduation ceremony for the pre-schoolers in the Summer was so thoughtful and beautifully organised. A special mention to the manager, who is always so kind, supportive, and incredibly organised - she leads the team wonderfully and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
Such a wonderful, nurturing nursery - highly recommend!

Our son has been attending the nursery for four months. He joined at an extremely traumatic time for our family and despite that, he settled well and is very happy there. There is a very caring environment with a home-from-home feeling and staff is very attentive and informative. I feel that our son is valued and listened to. Children do a good range of stimulating activities and spend plenty of time outdoors in a privileged environment surrounded by greenery.

We have both our sons in Littlebrooks and it took us quite some time to find a nursery that would provide not only home from home but more. Our boys have developed in so many ways all because of Littlebrooks. How all of the team there welcomes our sons makes me so happy. Every day we get a rundown on how the day has gone and we are regularly updated with pictures and videos, they speak regularly with the staff and other children at the nursery and it allows us to focus on work knowing our boys are loved and given all the attention required to ensure they thrive. Also, the manager has been incredibly flexible and supportive of us as a family. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for somewhere safe fun educational and loving for your children.

Littlebrook Nursery is a wonderful, caring nursery and I really feel that my daughter is so happy going to nursery every day. Littlebrook is set in a beautiful environment and the children are allowed plenty of time outdoors in the garden. The staff are kind, caring and friendly. It really feels like they know and care so much for my daughter. We are kept up to date with regard to her progress and day by means of the app. She regularly comes home with baking and crafts that she has done at school. The nursery is a warm, inviting environment with plenty of fun activities planned throughout the day!
As a working parent, the offer for term time only and a 7.30 drop off is a huge help too!

Having relocated from a different country with a 10-month-old, I was very worried about care for my little one to enable me work, but my worry quickly diminished thanks to the loving time at Littlebrook. We're so impressed with the progress our little one has made since joining barely three months now. The smile on his face when he gets dropped off is very settling and shows how dedicated they are to each individual kid, and thankfully not overcrowded. Highly recommended!

We’ve been sending our kids to Oaklands Littlebrook Nursery since April 2022, and our experience has been great. They love running into their classroom in the morning and are always smiling and happy when I pick them up. The staff is wonderful and they all seem to genuinely care for the children. The facilities and outdoor space are fantastic. They offer a much larger garden than other nurseries we visited. We’ve also seen tremendous improvements all around since the new management team took over several months ago. We highly recommend the nursery.

Our son has been going to Oaklands Littlebrook Nursery for over a year now, and he's come on so much in this time, growing into a fun-loving and chatty little boy. It's a testament to the fantastic Oaklands team and all the care and hard work they provide all year round. Our son also has a number of allergies, and the attention and care that's provided by every member of staff to ensure he's well looked after is second to none - a real home-from-home. The grounds are amazing too, in a beautiful setting surrounded by nature. My husband and I would highly recommend Oaklands Littlebrook to other parents.

I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to a friend.

We couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. We tried some others in the area but this has been the best fit for us. The team create a real home from home feeling and you feel they really know (and like) your children. We've had 2 kids in there one in the nursery and moving to preschool and one pandemic baby in the baby room. Our youngest has come on leaps since attending and has become much more confident and less anxious.
We're moving out of the area and sure we will all miss this nursery.
