Head of School's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
​
We have some absolutely eggciting news to share with you! This week at Oxhey Nursery, our children have been witnessing an eggstraordinary event as we welcome the arrival of some adorable chicks. It's been a truly cracking experience, watching the eggs and awaiting the magical moment when they crack and reveal the fluffy chicks inside.
​
The children have been absolutely fascinated, observing the hatching process and learning all about the life cycle of these eggcellent creatures. Their curiosity and enthusiasm have been truly wonderful to see, as they engage with this interactive and educational experience.
With a shelltastic 9 chicks hatched, it really has been no yolk.
​
We are thrilled to nurture such awe and wonder in our curriculum, providing an opportunity that is not only educational but also deeply gratifying for each child involved. It's moments like these that help cultivate curiosity and a love for learning.
​
We look forward to sharing many more eggciting experiences with your children!

Success Story of the Week!
Dear Parents,
This week, we've been absolutely delighted to enjoy the wonderful weather here at Oxhey Nursery.
The sunshine has provided us with the perfect opportunity to engage in some outdoor activities that our children have thoroughly enjoyed.
Together, we've been planting seeds and nurturing our environment, allowing the children to connect with nature and learn valuable lessons about growth and care.
It's been an absolute joy to watch their tiny hands contribute to big changes in our garden and see their excitement as they observe their plants beginning to sprout.
