A day at Little Oaks

A day at Little Oaks

What a day here looks like

Every day has a gentle rhythm of play, food, fresh air and rest. Here is how it flows, from good morning to see you tomorrow.

From morning to home time

A typical day

  1. 7:30

    Doors open and breakfast

    A warm welcome and a calm breakfast for early starters, then time to settle in and choose what to play.

  2. 9:30

    Morning play and activities

    Focused play in the rooms, from painting and stories to building and small group learning.

  3. 10:30

    Out to the garden

    Fresh air, running, digging and the mud kitchen. We get outside every day, whatever the weather.

  4. 12:00

    Fresh lunch together

    A freshly cooked lunch from our own kitchen, eaten together, with lots of gentle chat around the table.

  5. 13:00

    Rest and quiet time

    Naps for those who need them, and calm, quiet play for those who do not.

  6. 15:00

    Afternoon adventures

    More play, more outdoors, stories and music, and time to create something for the art wall.

  7. 18:00

    Home time

    A friendly handover with your child's key person, so you know exactly how the day went.

Out in the garden

Mud, puddles and the mud kitchen

Our garden is where a lot of the learning happens. Children dig, pour, balance and build, and they get gloriously messy doing it.

The mud kitchen is the heart of it. Bring a spare set of clothes, and we will bring the wellies.

A look around

Our rooms and garden

A few corners of Little Oaks. These are sample photos for the first draft. Your own photos of the real rooms and art walls will look far warmer here.

Food we love

Fresh lunches, cooked on site

We cook fresh lunches in our own kitchen every day, and the menus change with the seasons. Children help set the table and try new things together.

We cater for allergies and dietary needs. Just tell us what your child needs and we will sort it.
