**January 2012 UPDATE: Places now available at Wolfson College Nursery**
Looking for an Oxford nursery for your child? We currently have availability for children aged 2+, and will consider short-term places over the summer months. For further information please email the Nursery Administrator daynursery [at] wolfson [dot] ox [dot] ac [dot] uk (Dianne Tonks) or telephone 01865 274085, 9.30-2pm, Mon-Fri.
The Wolfson College Oxford Nursery is based within the College grounds in North Oxford. It aims to provide a safe and stimulating educational environment in which children can develop their knowledge and skills at their own pace. We aspire to produce happy, well-adjusted and confident children by working in close partnership with parents.
By adopting the key-person system, we ensure consistency of care for the child and a two-way partnership between parents and carer to establish close links between home and nursery
Oxfordshire provides a choice of day care nurseries, but few can offer such excellent care, securely nestled between Summertown and the city centre, in the heart of a peaceful College environment.
But don't take our word for it - see for yourself and hear from our satisfied mums:
The day nursery provides:
- a relaxed, safe and stimulating atmosphere;
- an encouraging, consistent and positive attitude towards all children;
- a welcome for chldren of all abilities and from all social and ethnic backgrounds;
- a recognition that children have individual needs and may therefore develop at different rates;
- freedom from stereotyping of any sort.

| 08:45 to 17:15 | [days] |

The Wolfson College Nursery is a registered carer and all staff are required to undergo thorough CRB checks. The nursery is subject to inspection by OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education), a Fire Safety Officer, and by Environmental Health Inspectors.
