Oxford Nursery delivers the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, the UK framework for the learning, development and care of children from birth to five years old. Learning is delivered through play, with activities designed to support the seven areas of EYFS learning: communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Educators guide children through play-based experiences intended to build confidence, creativity and curiosity, while the nursery's stated principles of the Unique Child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environments and Learning and Development shape daily practice. The approach aims to help children become confident communicators, imaginative thinkers and kind members of their community. Across the nursery's age groups, themed exploration, storytelling, art, puzzles and outdoor play are used to build vocabulary, fine motor skills, early numeracy and social skills, preparing children for more structured learning as they progress towards school readiness.
Age range: 3 months to 4 years

The Preschool Program caters for children aged 3 to 4 years, focusing on literacy, numeracy and themed explorations such as animals and nature, with storytelling, science walks and creative arts building confidence, critical thinking and school readiness in a bilingual setting.
