Our brand new nursery and pre-school in Kingsgrove is located in a new development area to the east of Wantage. Kingsgrove is part a large new development with new homes, primary school and retail shops - and our nursery is located within the local centre, alongside a convenience store.
We opened our doors in September 2025, providing the best childcare, giving you the peace of mind that your child is getting the care, love and attention they need.
Opening Times: 7-30am-6.30pm

Whether it’s playing with shapes, splashing in water, or stacking up tumbling blocks, your little one will want to express their curiosity in their own way.
This is why your child’s key person will observe them and plan activities to suit their individual needs. By choosing activities that inspire their natural curiosity, we also get them to express their growing energy and encourage their development.
Our childcare team will work with you to help your child settle into nursery life. By working closely with parents and adjusting our activities to suit each child’s routine, we make their move from home to nursery as calm as possible. We know how precious those first few years can be. So, it’s only right your little one receives the very best childcare. Here, you can expect just that.
• Literacy:
Writing their own name for the first time. Reading their first bedtime story with you. These moments are precious and important, which is why we’ve chosen the Read, Write Inc. programme to help pre-school children to develop their literacy skills with the support of our knowledgeable and caring pre-school staff.
• Maths
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts & Design
Personal, Social & Emotional Development
Physical Development:
Keeping your child active is important for their health and their independence. With the partnership of Isla Bikes, we will encourage your child to be active in a safe environment and to have fun on two wheels.
Communication & Language:
Whether your child’s a little chatterbox or not, the programme we’ve developed with Ican, one of our partner charities, will encourage them to develop their speech at their own speed
A time when your bundle of joy becomes a bundle of energy.
Inquisitive, curious and keen to learn. We embrace this time and make the transition as smooth as possible by balancing the excitement of nursery with a subtle, more structured approach to school learning.
This gradually introduces your child to academic learning, but in a place that feels familiar and supportive. A gently-does-it approach to inspire the best from every child.
As well as all the care and support we offer, there’s a lot of fun stuff to look forward to should your child attend our pre-school:
• 1 Early Years Practitioner to every 8 children
• First uniform and book-bag
• Freshly-prepared healthy meals and snacks
• Extra-curricular activities
• Bike riding classe
Understanding funded childcare and fees can be overwhelming at times. We want to change that by being transparent, upfront and most importantly – making things easy to understand.
Use our simple fee calculator to estimate what you'll be paying per week, and how any funded childcare hours could reduce your weekly fees. If you're not sure what funding you might be eligible for, take a look at our funding videos here or arrange a visit to speak to your nursery manager.
Whilst we work hard on making sure everything is up to date, these figures are estimates only. For the most accurate figure we recommend speaking with your local nursery manager.
