ABOUT THE NURSERY

OAKS is a charity with multiple provisions, including a small three room nursery based in Leominster, Herefordshire called Honey Bees Day Nursery, providing all day childcare, as well as term time care. Our building offers bright and colourful distinct rooms for each age setting, with lush and well-equipped gardens for our children to grow and explore in. Founded in 2009, our staff and practitioners have used their wealth of experience, knowledge, and qualifications to evolve and improve our methods and standards, providing exceptional childcare services for our children.

A few times a week, we run parent toddler and baby groups for the local community, these groups include art groups, sensory play sessions, and outdoor explorer groups. These groups aim to offer an environment where your children can explore and develop their senses, as well as allowing you as a parent to meet other parents and develop new friendships. We also run OAKS Holiday Club during school holidays and half-terms for children aged between 4 and 13, where they can come in and enjoy a plethora of fun activities with children of a similar age, enabling them to further grow their confidence and make new friends. Contact us today for more information.
