Food in Pre-School
We recognise the importance of a healthy and varied diet. A hot two-course school lunch is provided for all children by our in-house catering team and eaten in a family style with members of staff seated with them.
Our wonderful catering team provide home cooked meals, sourcing the majority of fresh ingredients from local suppliers. Children are served a lunch consisting of a meat or protein, vegetables or salad and a carbohydrate. Puddings are varied ranging from yoghurt and fresh fruit to a more traditional cooked pudding with vegetarian/vegan alternatives or dietary/allergy requirements being accommodated. Oakwood is a no nut school.
A Safe Environment
The safeguarding of children in our care is paramount with appropriate procedures and policies in place. Inspection reports note that children feel safe on site. This is also balanced by giving them a sense of freedom to enjoy our facilities.
There is a secure garden with outdoor play facilities, as well as a covered play area ensuring that children can venture outside in most weathers. Little Oaks children make full use of the school facilities such as the gymnasium, theatre and wonderful playing fields.
Children in Little Oaks use the fabulous Woodland Walk on a regular basis enjoying our outdoor classroom, storytelling circle and magical woodland treehouse. We love putting on our coats and hats to get some fresh air, whatever the weather!
