Oakley Kindergarten
Oakley Kindergarten is a volunteer owned and managed educational charity, situated in the village of Oakley, just outside Bedford in the north Bedfordshire area. We provide quality education and care for children from 6 months. Opening times are 8am-6pm pm Monday to Friday and we are open 45 weeks per year. We provide breakfast, lunch and supper cooked fresh each day and cater for all food allergies, intolerances and preferences.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Our setting is a brand new, bespoke building set in 1.5 acres of land. This includes our permanent garden, where the children free flow each day and can choose to play inside or outside. Our extended garden includes sheep grazing, forest school area, kitchen garden, orchard and nature reserve. We currently have spaces for all ages.
Oakley Kindergarten is eligible for Nursery Education Funding for eligible two year olds and both 15 and 30 hours Funding for children aged three years and over. We accept childcare vouchers and are registered with the Tax Free childcare scheme.
