Nursery Outdoor Learning

At The Oratory Prep School, we believe that fresh air, exploration and hands-on experiences are essential to a child’s early development. With 65 acres right on our doorstep, outdoor learning is a big part of life here – and trust us, our little ones get their step count in!

A World of Nature to Discover

Our purpose-built nursery is designed for curious explorers. From our cosy, enclosed playground, children step right into the wonders of our secure woods, where each day brings a new adventure. Whether they’re collecting leaves, spotting wildlife or discovering the magic of the seasons, children are always encouraged to follow their sense of wonder.

Led by Nature-Loving Experts

Our staff are true outdoor enthusiasts who know how to turn every session into a learning adventure. With tree climbing, den building and habitat hunting, they help children embrace challenges, take safe risks and build a lifelong love for the outdoors. These activities encourage independence, confidence, and resilience, all while sparking curiosity and joy.

Growing Through Play and Discovery

Outdoor learning isn’t just an add-on at The Oratory Prep School, it’s at the heart of our philosophy. We know the benefits firsthand: children who spend time outdoors tend to be more focused, creative, and socially engaged. When children have time to explore the woods, get muddy or have a quiet moment under a tree, outdoor play helps them grow in every way.

At Little Oaks we don’t just talk about nature – we live it every day. Come join us, and see your child thrive with the freedom and excitement of learning in the great outdoors.
