About the Employer

Our Ethos
Did you know that it is recommended that children spend at least 3 hours outside a day? The average child nowadays spends less than 3 hours a week outdoors. Our aim is to change this! With free flow access to our vast outdoor classroom, children can be outdoors in all weather thanks to our covered patio which houses resources that stimulate learning in all areas of the Early Years Curriculum.

We are lucky enough to be set on half an acre of land where we will be growing our own organic fruit, vegetables and herbs that we hope to use in our meals and snacks. The children will have the opportunity to help plant seeds and take care of them daily then watch as they grow into the foods that we use for cooking!

At Green Oaks Day Nursery, we believe that children are capable of so much and if given the opportunity to develop their independence, they really can amaze us with the things they can do. We feel it is our duty to teach responsibility to children – from using a knife safely to prepare food to cleaning up their area – gaining these life skills will build their confidence and teach them the importance of teamwork.
