October 11, 2021 at 12:00 amSince the time we explored the school, it has come across as being very impressive. The staff have been very accommodating and considerate to our specific requests, and this is unique to the school.
We are very happy with the way children are encouraged with positivity in the school. This helps develop self-confidence and esteem.
Staff are very affectionate towards children, which gives us reassurance! Correspondence from teachers daily about the child’s progress has helped us appreciate the emotional and intellectual growth of our daughter.
Thanks to the team at Oakleigh House for being a wonderful part of our child’s upbringing!

February 1, 2022 at 12:00 amFrom the start, my daughter settled very well after some taster sessions. I think the small group and the very friendly and kind atmosphere is very much key. My daughter is already much more chatty and sociable after her third week of being there and we are delighted with her progress which we think is down to Oakleigh House School Nursery. The after school club is also a godsend for parents who work full time!

February 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has joined Oakleigh House School Nursery in December 2021. I can’t recommend this Nursery enough. He loves his teachers very much and always looks forward to going even on the weekends. He has made some wonderful friends already. He is so happy there and enjoyed every minute at the nursery. The educational resources and wide range of activities are excellent. The staff couldn’t be kinder and more supportive. I also appreciate their app updates every day, always keep you updated and it’s lovely to see what he has been doing during the day. My son is equally happy with after school club. We wish we had found you sooner! I would 200% recommend it.

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amOur experience in Oakleigh House has been amazing. My son is very happy to go to nursery since his first day. The staff is super caring, attentive, professional, and efficient. The communication is very good. The kids have a variety of activities to develop different skills. The nursery is welcoming and warm. My son loves the food, which is healthy and cooked from scratch within the nursery facilities. The kids have a great diversity of meals due to the constant change of the menu. We are very happy to have chosen Oakleigh House!

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started nursery at Oakleigh House in February 2022 when he turned 2 1/2 and I cannot praise the teachers and nursery enough. His first taster session was a huge success and he came home so happy I knew he was going to thoroughly enjoy his time there. The teachers are all so welcoming, warm and caring and I know he is getting the very best care. The online updates and communication from the teachers are also great. I would highly recommend.

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter joined Oakleigh House School Nursery in April 2021. The staff did everything they could to help her settle quickly as she had done very little socializing during the pandemic. It is such a caring and nurturing environment with approachable teachers. They make learning fun and my daughter is always singing the songs they teach her and doing little dances. She is confident, happy and talks about her teachers at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Oakleigh House School Nursery to others.

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amOakleigh House School Nursery is superb. From the outset my daughter settled well as the nursery provides a calm, caring and nurturing environment. The staff are brilliant with all the children, having witnessed them interact with kindness and often telling me they treat them as they would their own family. As parent we are provided regular updates in person and also through social media photographs and video’s which show what the children are doing in school and how happy they are.
My daughter has made fantastic friendships with the children in her class and talks about them and what they have been doing together.
Whilst the children enjoy play, the nursery are brilliant at combining play with learning, such as fine tuning motor skills, counting games, word games and of course dance classes, which my daughter loves! I have seen such huge development in the time she has been there and really would recommend this nursery and the school!

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl started at nursery as soon as she reached two and a half years old. She has only had a few sessions so far, but has settled in extremely well and talks very positively about the activities and teaching staff there. I love that we are kept up to date with photos of what she’s been doing each day. Oakleigh House has been a great start to her nursery life.

December 21, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter moved from a different nursery to Oakleigh to begin her journey in the school. She settled immediately and we observed an impressive development of her skills in a very short time. She also developed strong relationships with her classmates and performed on the stage together with the other children despite being less than three years old. This has only been possible thanks to the effort of fully committed staff members that care about all the children’s development. I could not be happier, and I strongly recommend this school.

December 28, 2022 at 12:00 amI must say that I am very surprised by this school. Excellent staff and excellent facilities. My daughter moved from another nursery to Oakleigh House in preparation for primary. It’s incredible how fast she settled there and how much has improved. I must thank all the staff members for their brilliant job.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loves coming to the nursery. His language development has improved beyond my expectations. The staff are incredibly supportive, and the children are involved in fantastic indoor and outdoor activities. So happy we choose Oakleigh House School Nursery.

March 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is just starting at Oakleigh nursery, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As a mum who has been at home, they were aware that leaving her for the first time would be huge for me, and so for a whole year prior to her start date, they have invited us for open days, private tours, coffee morning, and kept in close contact with me, and made the transition so smooth that when she went for her taster session yesterday, I felt totally at ease to leave her for the first time aged two and a half. May I add that she didn’t want to leave when I arrived to collect her, as was having such fun. All the staff are superb and really treat each child as the individual they are. Loving, warm environment, with the high standards you’d expect from a well-established independent school. Excited to join the Oakleigh House family.

March 10, 2023 at 12:00 amWe started our child in nursery last month, and we couldn’t have felt more welcome. Both the school staff and the other parents and pupils provide an inclusive and family feeling, which I’ve not found elsewhere. We are so happy to leave our daughter in such good hands each day, with the classrooms so well-resourced and class sizes small enough that we know she’s getting the attention needed. We’ve seen a huge change in her since starting at Oakleigh and can’t wait to see how she continues to develop.

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff at the preschool treat all their children with a personal individual approach.
The communication between staff and myself has been excellent and is assuring that they know my child well.
There is a very homely environment which the children love.
The classroom is always very colourful, with a lot of the children’s work displayed.
My child loves outdoor activities – especially exploring the outdoor nature – such wonderful opportunities for the class.
There is always a member of staff at the school entrance when children arrive, which makes the school feel safe, and the preschool area has secure gates.
The preschool play area is well-equipped for a great play experience.
The school meals are of good quality and made on the premises – and the menus are made available for us to know what’s on the menu!
My child goes in smiling and comes out smiling, which is a measure that she is very happy in preschool.

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing communication from two ladies at all times; can’t thank them enough for keeping in touch and for the priceless support throughout. 100% response from all staff at the nursery and all sorts of different activities that children enjoy during the day. Thank you to the administration and staff for your care and support.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son is in preschool and has loved every day at Oakleigh in both early-year classes. The teachers and TAs are so attentive and know him very well. I’ve really observed an increase in his command of numbers and letters recently, and love hearing him talk about the more extra-curricular classes he enjoys so much such as ballet and outdoor learning. They even had cycling lessons recently. The facilities are excellent too, such as the interactive whiteboards and new outdoor play equipment. I also really appreciate the journal of his learning formed via online and app platforms. I can’t recommend Oakleigh enough.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amOakleigh House Nursery is a good nursery. My child is very happy to be there. The teachers are very cooperative and welcoming!
Their teaching skills are good, my child learns a lot from nursery his counting and recognising the numbers, a lot of motor skills are getting better from nursery.

May 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child came in for a taster session, and he loved it. The staff, the setting and the overall atmosphere were fantastic! The classrooms are a great size with colourful displays and lovely work on the walls to see. Very professional, and he can’t wait to come back.

May 10, 2023 at 12:00 amThe school has been excellent in my child’s education – I have seen improvements in my child’s education and behaviour since she has started the school. My child also has a proactive attitude to learning which the nursery has helped develop.

July 14, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter joined the nursery after Easter, and we couldn’t be happier with how her first few weeks of nursery have been. Two members of staff, in particular, have been wonderful with her, making it a lovely environment for her to learn and play.
