Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to Grandpont Nursery School & Childcare — a warm, nurturing place for children
aged 10 months to 5 years. I’m delighted that you’re taking the time to find out about our hidden gem of a 
nursery nestled in the heart of Grandpont, Oxford, right next to the Grandpont Nature
Reserve.  We are incredibly lucky to have a purpose built nursery building and an extensive outdoor area which include a dedicated forest area.   With this incredible environment, we have the perfect foundation for our aspiration to nurture our whole community so that as individuals and together we thrive.

Our diverse community is warm and friendly where all members feel welcomed and a sense of belonging. Our curriculum is informed by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework which is a statutory document outlining why, how and what children are given opportunity to learn.  We use Development Matters and Birth to Five Matters to guide our provision and practice.

Through careful considered and gentle interactions, we work to ensure that through love, respect and responsive caregiving, our children and our families feel nurtured and together we all thrive.  Through an environment rich in nurturing interactions, carefully planned experiences and resources, we offer our children and families opportunity to reach their potential.

We know and understand that each child and their family are unique and have their own very specific needs to support their development.  With our warm and nurturing keyperson and team approach we work together to do the best we can for every child.

We understand that everyone is an individual and experiences the world in their own unique way. With this in mind, we ensure that we learn from the children about their current stage of development, their wellbeing and interests and use this to inform our planning for their next steps in learning.

We use the ethos of nurturing care to ensure that we support our whole community to be and feel the best that they can be.

Our children play, learn and grow in light, airy rooms and a spacious outdoor
environment that wraps around the building.  If you are interested in visiting us to see and feel the warmth in our community please contact us on 01865 242900 or office@grandpontnurseryschool.co.uk

Warm wishes,
