Welcome to ‘Baby Four’
Baby One
In our Baby Four room our two year olds are really developing their individual characters.
Our Results Speak for themsleves!
Every new visitor we have, whether it’s a child, parent or inspector, they have the same reaction. When we see that big smile we know we are going in the right direction. Our success can be attributed to the fact we are never satisfied and we constantly aim to improve our care. Team Oaktree always give 100% effort to ensure all our children and parents are 100% happy!

HAPPY CHILDREN
HAPPY PARENTS
Your Children
Oaktree understand every child is different, every child’s learning process is different. When it comes to learning we recognise children remember better when they are having fun. There are so many aspects of play that improve a child’s all round development. At Oaktree we promote, Learning through play.
Benefits of Play:
- Early introduction to science & maths
- Encourages creativity, imagination & expression of feelings
- Develops body movement, strength, flexibility & coordination
- Helps with turn taking, sharing & mixing with others
- Play also allows children to relax and let off steam.
Learning through play is our ethos. A child is constantly learning, they will remember best when they are happy. Oaktree focuses on a huge variety of play activities each offering a different type of learning.
Happiness is the key to our success. Our logo has always been Oaktree Kids are better by smiles. Over the last 18 years we have focused on what makes our kids happy. One of the biggest reassurance for parents is when they hear their kids asking to stay on longer each day, we believe every child should have fun at Oaktree. We are very lucky to have past children coming back as parents, it is lovely to hear adults now coming back and recalling the happy times they had in Oaktree as a child.
We are very focused on the quality we can offer, as we are so hands on we adapt to every situation. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the positive difference we can make in a parent and child’s life.
We have always lived above the nursery and occasionally when we are in the local shops or at a local event we meet past kids now grown up, when they recall their happy memories of their time in Oaktree, we know we are doing things right. 🙂
We have designed our complex from the ground up, the layout of the building allows for the “next generation of childcare”, but the design of the building is also the next generation. Our new new build does not need fossil fuels to heat instead our design harness’ the natural solar gain to remain at a constant comfortable temperature all year round. We have a heat recovery system that ensures oxygen levels are maintained at a high level therefore we avoid the usual yawns seen after lunch in a conventional building. These and many more features ensure the kids are naturally happier throughout the day.
At oaktree we constantly strive to improve our safety standards. Oaktree Baby is unique as we have four separate play rooms and a sensory suite, this allows for exceptionally calm rooms with much less accidents. Equally Oaktree Kids is unique as we have the kids rotating around specific areas of learning through play, this in turn reduces accidents. Learning through play is our ethos, we believe it is important not to be risk averse but risk aware, it is essential to allow the children to learn through play.
