Welcome to Oxford Day Nursery. We are a family-run nursery established since 1991, located within the Loxford Ward of Redbridge and adjacent to Loxford Park.

We are a caring, happy, open and friendly community where children learn with confidence. We believe in nurturing the hearts and minds of each child who spends time with us.

We know if children are happy, confident and well cared for they will thrive. Children learn through play; we provide those physical resources and the emotional support to enable them to progress in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

We aim to create a relaxed and safe environment in which children can feel happy and at home. We're happiest when they feel able to fulfil their individual potential, while making new friends here at our nursery.
