Welcome to Little Oaks
Little Oaks was established over 20 years ago by Linda and Nicholas Birkin, and continues to be a family owned and managed Ofsted Outstanding Children’s day Nursery in Kimberley, Nottingham.
The nursery was purpose built in 1998 by Nicholas, a building contractor, and his team of builders using re-claimed materials in keeping with the original farm building. It is maintained to a constantly high standard. Linda manages the nursery on a daily basis, and the highly qualified and experienced practitioners provide a warm and loving environment in which children enjoy inspirational education experiences.
Identifying the need for wrap-care for Primary School aged children, Little Oaks Cool Kids Club was opened in 2003, offering Breakfast and After School within Larkfields and Gilthill Primary Schools, as we as Full Day School Holiday Club care.
Little Oaks maintain a reputation of providing a safe, fun and welcoming environment for children before and after school, and boast a team of qualified, friendly staff who always look to provide exciting, enjoyable and stimulating crafts and activities for the children.
Linda and Nick are extremely proud of the outstanding level of childcare they provide.
Our Approach
We believe that it is essential to provide a happy and secure environment to enable children to thrive. As an Outstanding Children’s day nursery in Kimberley, we understand the importance of learning through play and we strive to make each day a magical, stimulating and educational experience.
Happy Children
Children love adventures. They love new challenges, trying new things, making new friends, learning new skills and recieving positive feedback from all of our staff. We are fortunate to have two great outdoor spaces for our children to explore including a purpose built adventure garden and mud kitchen.
