Head of School's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,

We are pleased to share with you the wonderful experiences and opportunities we've had with your children this term. This exciting journey has culminated in the expansion of our nursery to include three operational classrooms, enhancing our provision for two-year-olds.
Additionally, we are thrilled to welcome two new team members after Easter, as we continue to grow our nursery to support families in our area.

Our setting offers a unique educational experience that prepares children for future learning. If you know of any families who might benefit from our nurturing environment, please encourage them to visit our website or, better still, book a tour with us.

Success Story of the Week!
Dear Parents,
​
At Oxhey Nursery School, sustainability remains at the heart of our mission as we strive to support our community and environment. This week has been no exception, as we've explored ways to reuse, repurpose, and use nature to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
​
The children have fully embraced this concept and relished every aspect of it—including the delightful experience of getting muddy while creating a wormery!
It's been a joy to see their enthusiasm and curiosity in action.
​
In addition to this, we are so excited to announce that on Tuesday 22nd April the Mayor will visit Oxhey!! We can't wait for the children to meet him and share all the wonderful learning they have been exposed to throughout sustainability week.
​
Thank you for your continued support as we nurture a love for learning and a commitment to a sustainable future.
