Our Federation & Our Schools
Oxhey is part of the Roots Federation - a federation of three Hertfordshire nurseries providing exceptional education for under fives.
​
Roots was founded in 2019, when Heath Lane, Oxhey and Muriel Green were struggling with budgets. We needed a way to sustain our finances, while giving children the best possible education. So, we decided to federate. We overhauled our resourcing, introduced a skills-based curriculum, and improved staff wellbeing. Now, each nursery stays within budget, our teachers have opportunities to grow, and children learn the skills they need to thrive.
​
Through consultation and training, we share the strategy behind Roots’ success with other schools. And if a setting needs new leadership, we invite them to join our federation, sharing our passionate leadership and ambitious vision.
