From September 2026, Oaklands School will be expanding its Nursery & Pre-School provision to include a choice of term time only provision for 34 weeks, or provision throughout the year for 50 weeks.
When you arrive at Oaklands School, you will be greeted with a warm welcome that invites you and your child to become part of a very special community.
The school is well-established in the area and has been educating local children for around 80 years. As a result, they are seeing more and more children joining whose grandparents were at Oaklands themselves.
Oaklands School values close partnerships with parents and the contributions they make to the education of their children. They place a great deal of importance on keeping parents involved in their child's academic progress.
Their teaching methods combine the traditional and the modern to provide a stimulating and creative learning environment. Children have access to highly qualified professionals who teach with flair and sensitivity.
Academically, Oaklands School encourages their children to aim high and to have the confidence to learn new skills and interests. The broad range of activities both inside and outside the classroom provides a rich environment where all children can discover hidden aptitudes and talents.
The school emphasises the acquisition of social skills and encourages respect and consideration for others at all times. This helps children to understand the needs of others. Good manners, respect for others and self discipline are fundamental aspects of the core values they teach.
Oaklands School prides itself on how well they know every child and how each one is treated as an individual. Children enjoy their time there and develop into confident young people with a wide range of interests, a love of learning and a solid foundation on which to build their future at senior school and beyond.
The school looks forward to meeting you soon.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of 2 to 3 year olds can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week, and some families on qualifying benefits can claim 15 hours regardless of working status. 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 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 8.5 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 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.

The teachers are...
The teachers are truly wonderful - caring, supportive, and passionate about what they do. Communication has always been excellent, which gives such peace of mind as a parent. The wraparound and pastoral care has also been brilliant and incredibly reliable.
They were incredibly helpful when it came to choosing the best next school for the girls and genuinely cared about each child's future and success. They went above and beyond with exam preparation too.
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Oaklands and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, fun, and supportive environment for their children.
