July 15, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been at Oakley since she was 12-months-old and it has been a great experience. I was anxious and worried about her starting nursery as she had never been with anybody else apart from us. Staff in the baby room was simply fantastic: together we developed a plan that would work for us as a family, and every day we left her at Oakley with the reassurance that we were all working together on this, with kindness and understanding. Since then, our daughter has been very happy at Oakley. I honestly have no words to describe the competence and friendliness of the baby room. Recently she progressed into the toddler room. Again, we are so happy and impressed with how smooth and gentle the transition was. Our daughter is happy to meet her new friends and we can already see how much she is developing with her new peers. Thanks Oakley!

July 20, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son really enjoys nursery – staff are warm, friendly and caring and I have full confidence in them. My son started nursery aged 3 and is now nearly 5 and ready for school. He is confident and outgoing and a lot of this is due to Oakley Day Nursery. Thank you. It is also good value for money. They do good outings like to the park or library.

August 4, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter joined Oakley’s in November 2019 and has loved every minute of it. There’s a lovely family feel and the staff have always been so friendly and caring. We appreciate the variety they pack into a week and have loved seeing photos of our daughter enjoying yoga, phonics, walks to Knole Park, mud time in the garden, etc! The team were also really good at communicating during full lockdown and putting measures in place for the extended opening in June. Our daughter comes out every evening with a beaming smile and you can’t ask for more than that!

August 4, 2020 at 12:00 amI was so happy to find Oakley Day Nursery after a bad settling experience at another Sevenoaks nursery. Over the 12 months that my daughter has been at Oakley, she has blossomed into an independent little girl, with good communication skills and happy outlook on life. She looks forward to nursery every morning, which is so wonderful to see. The staff at Oakley are thoughtful, professional, caring and compassionate. My daughter (now 22 months) has multiple allergies and the staff have worked so hard to ensure she has a well-balanced diet at nursery and a good variety of meals. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff and I don’t think I could have chosen a better nursery.

September 2, 2020 at 12:00 amOakley has been our children’s family away from home these past 3-years. The genuine love and care of all staff for our children have been an amazing support to us as working parents. Thank you for helping shape our children, through love and kindness, into the well rounded little people they are today.

February 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy started at Oakley at 6 months old and he’s now 13 months and I couldn’t be happier with the care he receives from the ladies that work at Oakley. I have loved every minute of the updates I received throughout the day and cannot thank that staff enough for the care they give my little boy.

February 3, 2021 at 12:00 amAfter loads of research and emails sent to various nurseries, Oakley was the only one that answered our questions. On top of that, the great reviews were a plus in helping us make a decision. Our daughter is happy and the progress she has done regarding speech and relations with people around her is amazing. All the staff are absolutely fabulous. Not only looking after the children but preparing them for school. I highly recommend Oakley Nursery and Preschool!

February 9, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been at Oakley for about 7 months now and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of care he receives. I have noticed a huge change in him since he started, handovers are a delight and I love hearing about his day. All the staff are the best, very approachable and I am always kept fully informed through the Famly app. Overall I am very happy with everything this nursery has to offer and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Oakley to anyone.

February 25, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves it at Oakley. She has come on leaps and bounds with her learning since she started. She will continue onto pre-school here for sure. I can only thank the staff for taking such good care of her and encouraging her to learn and interact with the other children.

March 3, 2021 at 12:00 amOakley provides a home from home experience for the children that attend. The greatest asset to the nursery is its staff, who really do go above and beyond. During the first lockdown of the pandemic, we continued to receive messages from staff seeing how my daughter was getting on and checking in despite the nursery being forced to close. The staff treat the children as individuals and have always listened and made adjustments where they can.

April 10, 2021 at 12:00 amOakley Nursing cared very well for my toddler twins. The settling in session helped to prepare them well, and the boys always came home with smiley faces. Meals are balanced and nutritious. Staff continuity is very good. The nursery kept us well informed about activities the boys have done via the app. We’ve been very happy with the care the boys received. The nursery has a very home from home feel, which we liked.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff here are brilliant, caring and so energised, as well as practical and easy to communicate with. They take great care of the children and work hard to provide a wide range of experiences, including regular trips out (library, parks, storytimes in local care home) to cooking, art and learning through play.
They even have Spanish lessons. Being centrally located in the town centre, they don’t have lots of outdoor space, but what they do have is well utilised, and they go out twice a day, plus very regular trips outside. My son loves it & we feel it’s good value.

I don’t think I could have found a better childcare setting for my son.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amOakley is a hidden gem, and I would highly recommend this preschool setting – my child could not be happier!
It feels like being part of one big family and nurturing setting. Staff are incredible at not only creating exciting daily interactive and stimulating experiences but also ensuring kids are meeting the EYFS curriculum by teaching them phonics and writing.
Despite the garden being on the small side, the kids still get ample outdoor time, come rain or shine, and lots of outdoor trips to the local library and park, etc.
A fantastic preschool! If any doubts, just stand outside at pick up and see for yourself: all children leave with big smiles on their faces, lots of anecdotes to share and hands full of marvellous creations.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Oakley now for over a year. Was the best decision we made for our daughter as she was in another previous. The staff at Oakley are the most kindest, friendliest and loving to our daughter. She asks every day when she’s going to nursery. She loves it. She loves the food and the activities (they have such fun activities in the day for the little ones); she adores every one of the ladies at Oakley. The hours are great for us, and can always help/accommodate if we need an extra day or half on top of her normal days. The love and care they give her is amazing! Thank you for everything you continue to do with her.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amOakley provides a loving and caring environment for my child. The staff are passionate about what they do and offer a great environment for children to develop and thrive. My child loves going to this nursery which is the best sign of the level of care children get.
There is also a good balance between having fun and learning as a pre-schooler at Oakley.
Thank you for everything you do!

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amMy grandson loves going to ‘school’ at Oakley Nursery; he always tells me what fun he has had that day.
His speech, counting and letters have come on in leaps and bounds, and he absolutely adores his key worker.
He is so settled; I hate the idea of him ever leaving to go to primary school.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have two children at Oakley, one in toddler and one in preschool. They both started at about one year old, and they (and we – the parents) love it. It is amazing to send both children off each morning knowing they will have fun, eat well and just generally be loved. I am also amazed by how much my eldest has learnt – his phonics and maths are really good now. The only slight drawback is a relatively small garden, but it is used inventively, and I know the children get to go on trips and the play park as well, so it doesn’t worry us. Thank you, Oakley!

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amThe best place for my 15-month-old daughter with the most caring staff who go the extra mile to make her days special and allow her to thrive. She loves going there and can’t wait to be dropped off every time.
