Oaks Nursery - Cambridge International School

Our son has been at this childcare centre for a year now, and I have never once been disappointed by the incredible team. They have a diverse range of skills and personalities and consistently a smile.
The setting in the park is fantastic, and the discovering setting is fresh, interesting and stimulating.
We are updated via the app with summaries of sleep and activities. This is enough for me, I don’t need to be a fly on the wall necessarily to have self‑assurance in the childcare centre.
We’ve enjoyed getting to know the other kids, who all seem to get along well, and their relatives, who also seem positive about the childcare centre.
Thank you, Oaks! Leaving your toddler with anybody can be a very challenging concept, especially if you’ve had a lockdown baby.

Our daughter is having enjoyable and discovering a lot via plays. The childcare centre is in the middle of the park, so that gives them lots of opportunities to delight in the outdoor. In the childcare centre itself, there is also a lot of outside space, and kids spend a lot of time outside when the weather allows it.
The team are excellent and very dedicated to the kids. Because it is not a very big childcare centre, everybody knows each other, so kids have a nice relationship with their primary carer, but also with all the other team members.
With the international title, it attracts a lot of families who have at least one non-national parent, but it’s really open to all. Our daughter has been at the Oaks International childcare centre for about 18-months now, and it’s been remarkable.
There’s been quite a lot to worry during this period shaped by the pandemic, but the childcare centre was definitely not one.
Oaks managed to adapt to these difficult times, and the kids kept having a excellent time.

The team are beyond fantastic. They tailor the discovering within the setting to cater for the passions of the kids – knowing how much my son loved using the school camera they set a lovely task to take Autumn photos, and when he was obsessed with Super Heros they ended up all making a ‘Super Hero Training Course’!

The Nursery is set within fantastic grounds and the team make full use of the park and surrounding area.

I also adore the fact that the Nursery is part of the larger Primary school. The kids benefit from specialist teaching in PE, music and even Spanish! I think this will make his transition to Primary school much easier.

I really sense the team know my son, they get him and care for him in such a genuine way – I honestly couldn’t ask for more. Our son ADORES this childcare centre.

He even asks about the childcare centre on the days he stays at home with me. I like the way the team approaches him in the morning and appreciate the feedback I receive at the end of the day. I would suggest the place to everyone. My little son started the childcare centre in September, thanks to very welcoming and expert team he settled in quickly and now is cheerful coming in every morning.

As a family, we are all extremely cheerful with Oaks, their incredible well‑informed childcare centre team, as well as teaching philosophy. In terms of facilities, they have large, open-plan classrooms that allow the kids to freely explore their interests. As the school is in Cherry Hinton Park, it offers the kids the chance to playtime outside, being in nature while feeding the ducks, discovering about grey cygnets becoming white swans! In terms of activities, the kids have music and movement class and walks in the park every week. Moreover, there is a very welcoming community between the parents. Since our little one started attending Oaks, I have recommended the school to many of our friends, some of which have now joined the school. There’s a family sense to Oaks and the evidence is how the kids adore going to childcare centre! Our little one has been going to Oaks International School since August 2020 and really enjoys all the daily activities at the childcare centre and loves interacting with the educators.
