The staff at the nursery are extremely welcoming and proactive. Although our son did not always want to join in

on group activities, they thought about the best ways in which he could develop and progress.

We source local suppliers to help provide fresh fruit, veg and meat for the onsite meals our chef prepares daily for our children. Like Hedges, our local butcher and Kinston Fruiterers, our grocer located within the covered market in Oxford. 

Our menus

Our menus change regularly, they are based on the season and also on a 3 week rotation so there's plenty of variety. Here’s a little taste of what’s on offer… For breakfast, our children enjoy a selection of cereals with warm or cold milk, toast and butter, with milk or water to drink. Fruit is also available for breakfast and throughout the day as a snack, along with vegetable crudités and bread sticks. Lunch could be tuna and broccoli pasta bake, quorn shepherd’s pie or sausage and butter bean bake. Followed up with fruit salad, strawberry mousse or bananas and custard. We also serve ‘afternoon tea’ which may be beans on toast, sandwiches or fishcakes. We make sure our children have a balanced diet so they’ll be strong and healthy.

If your child is not yet on solids, there’s no need to pack a bottle – if you’re breast feeding, we can prepare and store bottles of your expressed milk. Or if they are on formula, our milk kitchen will take care of it. Plus it’s all covered by our fees, so no need to worry about buying extra formula.

Estimate what you could be paying per week with this simple fee calculator

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.
