At Heyford Park, we provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 3 and over, offering 24 places for both 15 and 30-hour funded sessions. We also offer optional wraparound care from 8am to 5pm, making it easier for busy families to plan their day. We are a term time only setting, following the term dates as Heyford Park School.
Our Nursery is located on the Specialisms Campus, led by our dedicated Nursery Manager, Mrs McMunagle, and supported by our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Lead, Mrs Terry, along with Mrs Cooke, Mrs Cobb. Miss Wickson assists during lunchtime.
With some of our team working across both Nursery and the main school, we ensure a smooth and confident transition into Heyford Park School, offering each child a seamless start to their educational journey. We are thrilled that Ofsted recognised the quality of our Nursery in our most recent inspection.
From the moment children join nursery, staff nurture their curiosity and creativity (Ofsted 2023)
