To all parents,

As we progress through these uncharted waters it’s important to get as much feedback as possible.

Early Years have created a survey to help show the demand for childcare from all parents, those on essential lists and all others.

Thank you,
Cath & Shane

The Covid-19 pandemic is impacting everyone around the world, today marks a landmark day in Oaktree’s 21st year, from today the 24/03/2020 at 18:00 we will be temporarily closing our doors.

This is an extremely emotional day as the TeamOaktree family go their separate ways for an undetermined period of time as we wait for the full force of the pandemic to hit our community.

Our decision making process involved our TeamOaktree family, we analysed all the feedback and assessed all the risks from every angle and although very difficult, we believe a temporary closure is the safest conclusion for the best outcomes of our children, parents and our whole team.

To our Oaktree parents thank you so much for the love and support given over the last 20 years and especially over the last couple of weeks.

We would like to thank every keyworker not just in our TeamOaktree but within the wider community, you are putting everything on the line as we see this pandemic impact on every aspect of our life. I would also like to share the level of togetherness in our community and recognise the great work everyone is doing, this is a great community.

TeamOaktree has been our life for over 20 years, Catherine and myself both know the effect closing even temporarily will have on us emotionally. Your children have all played a role within our own family as we share all the funny stories and jokes from our day with our own children and quite often our extended families.

As a TeamOaktree family we hope we can help each other through this and we look forward to our first day back where we hope to hit the ground running post Covid-19.

We wish you good health love and happiness. Stay positive, stay safe.

We were so sorry to get this message today but you are doing the right thing. Oaktree has been an important part of our lives over the past 15 years and we are very grateful for all you have done for us. We look forward to seeing Cath, Shane and the fabulous Oaktree staff when life returns to normal. Gabe sends his love. Take care and keep safe. xxx

We were the same ,closed last night but such lovely comments from our parents we hope they will all be back when its over.Stay safe x

Good luck to all at team Oaktree x keep safe xox

Keep safe at this time.

lm really saddened to be reading this, Oaktree is truly both yours and your families lives you strive for the nursery putting everything you have into Oaktree, I look forward to seeing Oaktree and all you come out the other end, take care and stay safe all of you x

Thank you for everything yous have done for our Family. Stay safe and we'll see you on the other side of this nightmare. x Would it be possible to get all the Girls and the lovely staff to do a wee video for the Facebook page to say goodbye or see you later to the kids so we can explain to them why they wont be at oaktree for a wee while? x ❤

Thank u so much Cath, Shane and all of u for the fabulous care given to our children. Such a sad and worrying time for everyone but it's so important we stay save and keep well. Look after yourselves until this is all over. L x

Thank you for everything you all do for our kids every day. Our hearts are touched by all the little things your team do - art work, morning cuddles, even washing their little comforters. It takes a village to raise a child and you have been our village! We will all be back before too long to drive you all crazy with teething and tantrums! Xx

Stay safe Shane et al. You'll come back stronger. #TEAMAE

Thank you Shane and Cath for your care and support . Hannah and Dylan have loved every minute with you and the girls - and will again when this is all over . Keep safe x

A very very sad day for us a wonderful creative and just a cracker of a crèche for córa hard to take this morning as we left córa in for the last day for a while.As parents we are both key workers and have needed the crèche so badly in the last week never mind the last 6 years. As we say in Tyrone keep er lit to team oaktree can't wait to have craic again in the near future with the oakers

We will see you all again at the end of this nightmare. Hope all the staff stay safe 🙏 Aoibh will miss everyone

So sad to hear this, wishing you all the best, keep safe and we will see you when this storm passes, thank you for everything xx

A difficult, yet right decision. I know Lydia will miss her time at nursery, her little friends and all of the girls who care for her whilst this chaos continues to unfold. We look forward to the day things return to normal and we can drop her off once again. Stay safe Cath, Shane and Team Oaktree x

Going to miss all the staff at Oaktree and the day to day banter. But under the circumstances a wise move to close and the fact you remained open as long as you did showed us all that you had everyone's best interest at heart ❤️. Keep safe and keep your family close everyone and if we all stick together as a community we will be each others strength to deal with the challenges that lie ahead ahead both emotional and financial. Thank goodness for social media.....keep positive people 😍😍

From one of the first ever children to a member of the family, a proud to be! Please keep safe Murphy's! We all love you so much xxx

Shane, Cath and all Team Oaktree thank you for everything you do for our kids. Boys love their time with you all and am sure they will be busting to get back after all this madness is over. Please take care and stay safe, we will see you on the other side xxxx

Thank you so much Shane Oaktree Murphy, Cath and each and every one of the fabulous girls that make Oaktree so special. It's a very scary time but we all need to stay safe. Take care and stay safe....hopefully we will see you all again soon. Thank you all xxxx

Thank you Cath,Shane Oaktree Murphy and all the team, we are going to miss you all very much! But this is only temporary and you'll come back stronger and better. Stay safe guys love me, Adam and Rebecca xxxx ❤️🌈

Cheers for everything Oaktree. We'll see you when we are out the other side of this. Sooner the better. Stay safe

stay safe, thanks for all the support and we'll see you on the other side of all this world changing craziness!

Thankyou you all so much kids will miss you all. Stay safe hopefully will see u all soon xx.

So sorry to hear this 😢 stay safe xxx

Take care Shane and Cath and all the team.🙂🙂🙂

Terrible but it's the right decision. Are your staff engaging with the key worker scheme?

Our research has decoded happiness and our emphasis is to use this new framework with our team first and then our parents and children. 🎥 In one of the team training videos I asked everyone to try and imagine others with a note on their head say ‘Please make me feel special’, this exercise is a simple step to improving team relationships and I can see that Paula has thought about this and used talents that I wasn’t even aware of. 🥣 Our time is our most valuable asset and if someone volunteers their precious time it can only make you feel important.👌So thankyou Paula for making us all feel important today😁

😁This put a smile on my face when I came in this morning. I love this not only because it made me chuckle, 🤣it encompasses some of our research into allergies, it is vital we introduce antigens from an early age, playing with soil, animals and a broad variety of natural materials will have a positive impact on the outcomes of your child.

I highlighted some of Lauren’s Team’s work the other day and today I noticed Ann’s Team’s display, so I thought I would share it too. I like these because I can see they are going to provoke the children’s thought process in many ways. We can see the three dimensional pots and natural materials creating shadows that move during the day. We see the materials the children have picked from outside, when we bring nature inside the child’s brain is examining the two environments and processing all the information that goes with that. 😀😀Learning is amazing😀😀 ...

Keep it LocalA great effort behind the scenes by all the business in Crumlin lead by Mark and the Crumlin Town Team, this initiative is one of a series of videos highlighting how great our wee town is. Our local small businesses give something big businesses don’t, it’s the social multi generational interaction, there’s an extended family warmth that we shouldn’t forget about. It was great to see the welcome every business gave the film crew and as you can see CRUMLIN is a great place to hang out. This is a great photo as it not only shows the warmth Jeanette Lavery gave in our local Credit Union, it also highlights their amazing refurbished building. Lastly a big thank you to Catherine McCallum who is a local actress and singer who gave her time free of charge and kept me the novice from making mistakes all day👍
Remember, 😁Keep it Local😁 ... See MoreSee Less

I love Karen’s passion for her business, it’s interesting how when we love our pets/family we treat them better than we treat ourselves. Look at the thought and preparation Karen has put into her parrots and she has probably raced out the door to open her business with maybe a quick breakfast and maybe she will squeeze time for a sandwich during the day. 🥝🍏🍉

How many parents out there are like Karen who focuses so much time ensuring other family members are getting the best and forgetting to look after themselves 🌟

This is something Cath is guilty of but not me, I keep telling her it’s like the advice on a plane, always put your own oxygen mask on first or you won’t be able to help anyone else✈️🛫

A friend of mine posted this as he awaits his child’s results today. 😁

This is one of my favourite representations depicting our education system, our amazing teachers on the front line are doing their best but we have to look at the lack of evolution in what we assume is the best system out their. 🌟

If we compare how technology has evolved compared to our education we can see the stark reality we are in a holding pattern with no real change, we need real leadership at the top to adapt better or we will fail our children.

We hope our research and how we implement the Clear Brain Thinking framework will make us all open our eyes that the development of our children should not be based on an exam factory structure but we should be looking at the latest research and focusing on the four key neurotransmitters for happiness, developing resilience for real life.

Individual learning processes in 10 minute chunks, hitting the 1000 hour outside target for vitamin D, nitric oxide production and nature immersion. We need to see how short bursts of exercise increase norepinephrine that helps with focused learning, We need to focus on the importance of the child’s circadian rhythm to get the brain ready for learning and seeing the positive impact from child lead and self learning methods.

I don’t know many parents that agree with this test but like myself I put two of my four children through it thinking it was the best for my child’s future.

To those children who get the result they were looking for, well done on your achievement but this is for the children and parents who are disappointed with this illusion of testing a child’s retention of facts over the space of a hour at the age of eleven can asses the potential of a child, when we truly look at the research we see it is simply an illusion and just highlights the crudeness of our current outdated system.

Please realise this will have no real impact on the long term outcomes in life. To all parents, follow the research and let your child reach their full potential in life.

😁 Happiness is simple - Dopamine, Serotonin, Endorphins and Oxytocin 😁 ... See MoreSee Less
