Set in the heart of rural Oxfordshire, yet close to Oxford itself, is The Aunties' Old School Nursery - a consistently 'outstanding' family-run children's day nursery and pre-school. 

The Aunties' Old School Nursery was established in 1989 as a loving, family-run 'outdoors' nature nursery (the original forerunner of the current Forest School movement) having an exceptionally strong emphasis on outdoors' life and learning. 

The Aunties provide inspired, loving care and first-class education for pre-school children and babies in two attractive, convenient settings in Stanton St John and Wheatley.  The Aunties' unique ethos and loving, family approach have a very strong emphasis on outdoors' life and learning.

Whilst this will give you some idea as to who we are, we would whole-heartedly recommend a visit to The Aunties' Old School Nursery, where you will be able to discuss your personal requirements with Alexandra (Sandy) Enjily.
