Tucked away in the heart of Headington, and boasting 12 acres of woodland, is Rye Bear Nursery. A small nurturing environment, rated excellent by ISI, which provides the perfect setting for the beginnings of your child’s educational journey.
Our rich curriculum covers the key areas of the Early Year Foundation Stage alongside regular Forest School Sessions, Music Lessons and beginnings of learning the French Language. We offer a holistic approach to your child’s early years, a time of discovery and cognitive and physical development. Our nursery children are free to create, discover, explore, be adventurous and get messy. It’s all part of learning at this age.
Our highly experienced staff encourage child-led activities with endless opportunities for learning through play in a calm, happy and purposeful environment. They pride themselves on presenting opportunities to challenge and push the children whilst also offering a nurturing and supportive environment where each child feels safe and secure and able to be who they want to be.
We welcome parent input, offering online learning journals so that we can work together to establish a joy for learning in your child that lasts a lifetime.

Children at Rye Bear Nursery, Oxford, are fully part of the Rye St Antony Prep School Community. They have the opportunity to join other children at break and lunch time, start to experience assemblies and join our Reception children for learning experiences towards the end of each school year. Our Nursery children leave nursery prepared and ready for their next steps at Rye St Antony as confident and resilient 4 years old with a strong foundation to continue their learning journey with us.
We understand that for many busy working parents flexibility is key. So, we offer care from 7.30am with a breakfast club and you can pick your children up as late as 6pm. Breakfast and tea are provided during these times to make sure we really are offering the helping hand you need.
