We have two nurseries in Oakham. Both have been chosen for their safe environment and generous outdoor space.

Princess Avenue

This purpose built nursery has three separate rooms for children ages 3mths to 4 yrs. The nursery has large outdoor areas including a separate under 2’s area with an artificial grass surface, a planting and growing garden. The front space is used for the larger physical equipment and the rear houses exploration areas of the mud kitchen and sand.
Children and staff alike are delighted with the new canopy which extends our inside space into the outdoor area.

The Ark is open from 7.30am to 6pm. The nursery sessions run from 9am to 4pm.  We are open all year round, only closing for Bank Holidays and Christmas.

Burley Road

The Burley Road Ark is housed in Oakham C of E Primary School. It is separated into two main rooms, one from 18 months to 3 years and the other from 3 years until school. We have a large outside play area with raised planting beds, outside mess kitchen, large physical play equipment and lots of room to move and explore. The Pre-School children have the use of the school swimming pool once a week.

The Ark is open from 7.30am to 6pm. The nursery sessions run from 9am to 3.30pm.  We are open term time only with the option for your child to attend the Princess Avenue site in the holidays.  We use staff from both sites during this time so there is always a familiar face around.
