Curriculum & Approach
Children's Oasis Nursery follows a British early years approach, drawing on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to guide children's learning through play. The nursery's own philosophy centres on learning through play, described on its website as offering children the "best of both worlds" through a blend of structured early learning and free, exploratory play in its garden and indoor spaces. Alongside its core English-medium provision, the nursery has offered a Spanish Programme for younger children before they progress into its Foundation Stage 1 (FS1) class, reflecting a multicultural, language-aware approach to early education. Parents describe lessons as hands-on and engaging, with detailed reporting on children's progress. The nursery's key beliefs are organised around the themes of Learn, Love and Live, covering areas such as self-confidence, teamwork, independence, global citizenship and language exposure, which underpin day-to-day activities and room themes across the nursery.
