About Oak Tree Day Nursery and Pre-School
Oak Tree Day Nursery and Pre-School is an OFSTED OUTSTANDING (2024) nursery in Finchampstead, on Nine Mile Ride. One of the few nurseries in the country to achieve this highest rating four times in a row, a rare mark of consistent excellence. Our nursery nurtures children from birth to 5 years in a secure, inclusive setting, with safeguarding and personalised care ensuring every child feels safe, valued and ready to grow. We build lasting family partnerships through open communication and shared milestones.
Our diverse team leads with quadruple Outstanding leadership, tailoring play in age-specific rooms to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. England's framework for children's learning and development up to age 5. This supports curiosity, independence and special educational needs (SEN) with expertise.
Children explore our expansive garden, complete with a bespoke growing area and greenhouse for hands-on planting and eco projects. Opportunities may include Spanish stories and nature crafts, deepening their world connection.

Nutritional Approach
We believe food is fundamental to healthy growth, happy minds, and positive lifelong habits. In the earliest years, what children eat shapes taste preferences, supports brain development, and lays the foundations for long-term health.
All meals are freshly prepared on site each day using quality, seasonal ingredients. Our menus are developed with expert guidance, designed for inclusion, and go beyond Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. We want every child to become a confident, curious eater.

Meet Our Nursery Manager
Rebecca Rowland
Hi, I'm Becca, the nursery manager at Oak Tree. I've been working in early years since 2005 when I got my first part-time job in a nursery whilst studying my A Levels. I soon realised this was more than a job and I had a true passion for childcare. After completing my A Levels in Health and Social Care and Psychology, I decided to pursue a career in childcare. I received my qualification in December 2008 and quickly progressed through the nursery. I worked as deputy manager at Oak Tree for five years and in December 2022 I took over as manager.
At Oak Tree, we love to get outdoors and explore nature. We feel it's important that children learn to look after the planet, so we joined Eco Schools and have been awarded our Green Flag. The team and I have a passion for charity and love to give back to the community.

Our Commitments
Our curriculum is built around five core commitments that guide how we nurture every child.
&w=2048&q=75)
Our Curriculum
Our mission is to transform the lives of the children and families we work with by creating an environment that supports, enhances and focuses on the child's interests and their free play choices. Our curriculum is split into three key areas.
We respect and celebrate each other as individuals, nurturing every child's sense of self and belonging and supporting them to become confident communicators who value their uniqueness and that of others. We encourage an 'I can' attitude to learning, fostering curiosity and resilience by creating environments where children feel safe to explore, take risks and experience success through perseverance and play.
Children also learn about the world and our local community, developing care for their environment and understanding their impact on the world through outdoor exploration and community responsibility.
