September 2024


Oak House offers a wide range of fun and educational activities. Children also get the opportunity to go out into the local community. There is a fantastic outdoor space including a forest area. All the staff are friendly and professional. I would certainly recommend Oak House Nursery!

August 2024


We chose Oak House for our first and loved it so much we sent our second too. The care received is exemplary and genuinely feels like the boys second home; which when they spend a fair chunk of time at nursery is what you want. The nursery are always doing a variety of fun things, special celebration days and inventive ways of play. We couldn’t recommend Oak House enough.
