Head of School's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
​
At Oxhey Nursery we are committed to fostering an environment where every girl feels empowered to reach her fullest potential, free from societal constraints. Our "This Girl Can" initiative is designed to inspire and provide our girls with the confidence to pursue any path they choose, regardless of traditional gender roles.
​
We actively work to ensure that our activities, opportunities, and encouragement are not limited by gender. By showing our young minds the vast realm of possibilities available to them, we aim to instill a strong belief that they can achieve anything they set their minds to; reinforcing the message that no dream is too big and no field is off-limits.
​
Thank you for your support as we work together to build a future where our daughters are confident pioneers, leading the way in whatever they choose.
​
A few gentle reminders, please can you ensure that all personal belongings are labelled, and children's toys remain at home. We have also noticed that some children are arriving to Nursery still eating their breakfast, to prevent your child from choking, we strongly advise that your child eats breakfast at home or at breakfast club if booked.

Success Story of the Week!
Dear Parents,
I'm thrilled to share the incredible success of our Sustainability Champion, Aeisha, in her work with our Nursery children this week.
Despite the challenges some children face in maintaining attention at such a young age, Aeisha's presence has been nothing short of magical.
​
As soon as Aeisha steps into the classroom, the children enthusiastically gather around her, eager to learn how they can help improve our gardens. It's truly heartwarming to witness their excitement and eagerness to participate in these hands-on sustainability projects.
​
Aeisha's ability to engage and inspire our little ones is remarkable, turning learning into a joyful and impactful experience.
We're proud of the positive influence she brings, nurturing a love for our environment in the hearts of our children.
