From September 2021 we are welcoming visitors back into our setting. We are looking forward to being able to show new and prospective parents around again and we do still have some availability of sessions across our sites. If you wish to book in for a show around or more information we look forward to hearing from you. Our term starts again on Wednesday 1st September.

We have been caring for children in Oakham since 1984. Our team aims to provide the very best care for you and your child by:
|
|
'My little boy leaves The Ark with a big smile every time. He can't wait to tell me all that he has done'
|
Outdoor PlayTeaching in the Ark does not take the form of instruction. Rather, the children are presented with a range of activities from which they can make their own choices.
|
A Caring, Experienced TeamWe have a range of qualified staff working in
our teams from level 2 to Level 5 and BA (Hons) Level 6. We all work together as a team to give your children the best learning environment. We observe and record children's development using an online assessment called EYLOG. This is a safe and secure method to show you your child’s learning journey which you as parents can input onto too. |

Our AimsWe aim to offer high standards of education, stimulation and fun within a structured environment. Our ideas are very neatly summed up in the words of educationalist, Charlotte Mason:
“We must help them to grow at their own pace by nurturing their own talents and helping them to develop their own individual personalities” |
Baby Room & Outdoor AreaThe Willow Room at Princess Avenue provides a welcoming, homely environment for babies. Our experienced team make this a wonderful world for our youngest to learn, sleep and smile.
We have access to a separate play area for the babies to enjoy whilst being able to see the older children. |
