Oak Tree Pre-School Nursery (Wimbledon)

Our daughter joined Oak Tree in 2020 in the toddler room, and has this year moved up to the pre-school group. The staff at Oak Tree are wonderful; warm, friendly and caring. Our daughter is growing more independent by the day, and the activities help increase her confidence and makes her excited to go to pre-school every morning. The teachers give plenty of feedback to parents and there's always photos of what the children have been up to during the day, which is great fun to see. When possible, local excursions and visits from the police, fire brigade etc are arranged, which my daughter loves! Overall this is a brillaint pre-school, and we're so happy we choose Oak Tree.

Oak Tree is a fantastic nursery and pre-school, and comes highly recommended. Our daughter is currently in the pre-school room, which is led by Joanna and her team. All of the staff ensure that the children have a great time and a really good balance between focused learning activities and having fun. Our daughter always comes home happy after a great day and loves playing with her friends there. The support of Joanna and her staff is really helping her develop confidence, skills and interests. The communication with parents is really good too, allowing us a real insight into what the children have been doing and identifying areas for development that we can support at home. Keep up the great work everyone!

My daughter has been here for almost 2years and loves Oak Tree!At first when she started in toddler class she cried a lot but the staff were amazing with her.Even though her first language was not English and didn’t understand anything, the staff made sure she feels safe and cared, she settled very well.In preschool room they have a lot of fun activities every day(learning letters, craft, singing and all sorts of things)and she can’t wait to show me what she made that day.Also my daughter absolutely loves the food here! (There is a new chef)The setting is in the lovely Church grounds and they have plenty of outdoor space for the little ones to explore and play.I recommend if someone is looking for a warm and caring nursery.

Oak Tree has been such a fantastic educational setting for our son to learn and grow over the last year. He joined the toddlers class after we moved back from living abroad in 2021 and he settled in very quickly. The range of activities (both learning and fun) and games he has experienced has been excellent and he always comes home with a smile on his face. Shelley the toddler team leader was an absolute super star and made us as a family very welcome as new starters. My son then moved to the pre school class and Joanna was fantastic with the smooth transition. The garden of the school is such a wonderful place for the children to do all kinds of water play , sand , and outdoor activities. Fantastic use of app to ensure smooth communication. Thank you Joanna and team for everything you have done for young A. He has learnt a lot and was set up for his primary school nursery perfectly.

We’ve had our 3 kids attend OakTree Preschool Nursery over the past 6+ years and they all love the setting, teachers and activities. They (and us adults) have made some amazing friendships from the nursery that have continued even after the kids left.From the happy smiles on our kids faces going to nursery and also at the end of the day when we pick them up we know that they have had a great day. Glad the chef is a great cook as my kids have big fussy appetites!One person who has been there with us since the start is Joanna who is the nursery manager – our kids see her as part of the family. Her dedication and passion for her role, her staff and the kids is unwavering.Thanks OakTree for helping in the development of our kids during their (highly important) early years. I know my kids are prepped for Reception!

My daughter attended both toddler and preschool. The teachers are wonderful, emotionally attuned and very caring. They foster an environment of curiosity, fun and play and get to know each child very well. The communication has been exemplary and they take their time to discuss each child’s progress. My daughter loved it and still talks about preschool daily. She felt safe, able to communicate her needs and express her emotions. It has given her the best start and I will be forever grateful to the whole team. I would recommend Oaktree in a heartbeat.

Our son has been going to oaktree for over 2 years and we can't speak highly enough about the care from the staff. They have shown great resourcefulness and resilience during the pandemic and the activities they run for the children are fantastic. What stood out to us from the beginning is the care and attention they give each individual child. We always get in depth handover feedback at every pick up and this has really helped us support his development at home. The staff always have a smile on their faces and clearly love what they do and the outdoor space for play is amazing. Can't recommend them enough and look forward to our daughter attending in the future

Both my daughters have attended Oak Tree from a young ageIt is the most nurturing, caring and loving environment a parent could wish for.The children needs are met and beyond.Such effort is put into their daily lives from baking, trips to the lake at the common, fancy dress, discos and more!The staff mean so much to my girls and us their parents. I see them as our extended familyOak tree has been the best decision we have made so far as parents!!!Couldn’t recommend it more!

My daughter has been at Oak Tree for nearly 2 years, experiencing both the Toddlers and Pre-school Room. She absolutely loves the nursery. It's a lovely setting and a great environment.The influence that the amazing team there has had on our daughter has been incredible. Her skipping and running into Pre-School everyday, and coming back home with a huge smile says everything about the team and the work they do.Over the past 2 years, her intelligence, confidence, awareness, and understanding of the world has grown hugely. I'm amazed at the creativity and range of activities that she engages with everyday at Oak Tree. And importantly, she has so much fun too and has formed so many lovely friendships.It is easy to be happy parents when our daughter is so happy too. We are lucky to have found Oak Tree and had our daughter develop so well at such a key stage in life at such an amazing place.We can't recommend Oat Tree highly enough and thank everyone there for the work they do.

Like any parent, I was incredibly nervous to send my daughter off to nursery for the first time, but I couldn't have been luckier having this experience alongside Oak Tree Pre-School Nursery. Joanna was incredibly flexible and understanding when it came to little concerns like potty training and dummies and explained we would work together to find the right solution once Rachel was ready and settled. The nursery staff were very supportive during my daughter's settling in period, and Joanna tailored the settling in experience intuitively based around what would be best for my daughter, which made it a very smooth transition. During the first settling in session, it was very reassuring to see her and other staff members respond warmly and naturally to any children who wanted a cuddle or some reassurance, and I was very happy to receive the report from my daughter on her second day that when she fell in the garden, the teacher gave her a nice warm hug - it was very clear to me that the staff had really made a big effort to make her feel welcome and safe.When collecting Rachel from nursery, the staff always give me a detailed insight into what she did that day, the food she ate and her nappy changes. This, in addition to the regular updates on the Famly app and activity timetables in the entrance hall, has allowed me to carry over her learning experience at nursery into the home, through things like starting a window garden after she did a beanstalk project at nursery and singing songs with her that she has learnt in the nursery. It has been absolutely wonderful to see her develop and grow so rapidly in her language, social and creative development, as well as gaining a newfound confidence and independence.I believe these things stand testament to the exemplary job that each and every teacher are doing to foster independence and learning on an individual level, with great respect for each child's learning journey and a clear love for the work they do every day.It is a wonderful feeling to see my daughter so happy every day when I collect her and full of stories of all the great things she did that day.
