Welcome to Oak Tree Nursery School
We have 2 small, friendly nursery schools, based in excellent primary schools in Garstang and Stanah (Thornton).
Ofsted have awarded our Nurseries ‘outstanding in all areas’. This is a testament to the dedication of our staff.
We are now taking babies!
Our committed team of staff have many years of experience working in childcare and, as parents themselves, understand the special trust you place in us when we are caring for your child. Our dedicated team is led by a specialist Early Years Teacher, ensuring your child will make the best possible progress in their learning and development.
We also have extended our opening hours. Please check our Facebook page or call us directly to arrange a visit.
We Embrace Learning Through Fun…
PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
At Oak Tree, we place the needs of the child at the centre of everything we do. We embrace learning through fun, playful activities and experiences based on the interests of the children. Our qualified and experienced practitioners aim to foster confident, independent, resilient and creative learners through supportive teaching approaches.
OUTDOOR LEARNING
Children are inspired by nature and we ensure that children have opportunities for outdoor learning every day. Our practitioners recognise the special relationship between young children and the outdoors and the positive impact it has on their well-being and development.
All our nurseries have a dedicated garden providing exciting learning opportunities for the children all year round.
FOREST SCHOOLS APPROACH
Each of our nurseries have a dedicated Forest Schools Leader. Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees. We are excited to announce that we have extended our offer at Fleetwood to include Beach Schools experiences.
GETTING YOUR CHILD READY FOR SCHOOL
At Oak Tree we recognise the importance of ensuring your child has the very best start to their school education. We make “school readiness” a priority for our pre-school children.
All our nurseries our based in schools and benefit from being next to the reception class. This ensures we have close links with the teachers and makes the transition from nursery to school as smooth as possible for your child.
EVERYONE WELCOME
At Oak Tree, we welcome all children and families. We have an open-door policy, so feel free to call in and visit us at any time.
