Nursery Admissions

Oasis Academy Shirley Park has one nursery class for 3-4 year olds, the year before they start in Reception. We have a major intake in September of children who will turn 4 during that academic year. The Nursery is based at Lower School (Stroud Green Way) alongside our Reception Classes.

Our aim is to provide holistic learning in a safe, happy and stimulating environment through which all children are challenged and make outstanding progress. To develop confident, happy children, equipped with foundations to nurture a lifelong love of learning. 

We foster a harmonious atmosphere which supports and promotes self-esteem. We build confident communicators supporting every child as an individual across development in all areas of the Early Years and Foundation Stage. We help every child to grow up feeling confident about their own identity, in a spirit of friendship, understanding fairness and the rights of others, valuing diversity, and ready to be a British citizen.

The Academy has an agreed admission number of 52, split between a morning session and an afternoon session, in one class  - Little Acorns. 

We are able to offer full week-day places (for 5 full days a week) to children whose parents are eligible for the Government’s 30 Hour Free Childcare Scheme and every week-day morning or every week-day afternoon places for all other children who are eligible for 15 hours Government funding. Top-up sessions may be available to purchase. All places are dependent on availability of places in the Nursery. 

If you are require an in-year place in the Nursery for 2024-25 please contact us to see if there are spaces or to be put on a waiting list before making an application.
