WELCOME

I would like to welcome you to Oxclose Community Nursery School. I hope this website gives you an insight into the care and nurture we offer so that all children can develop, learn and thrive while they are in our care. We are a Local Authority Nursery School situated in Washington, a town in Sunderland. The school currently offers provision for children aged 2 to 4 years old, during school term time. We are open from 7.30am to 5pm daily, offering breakfast and after school club as wraparound care. Ruth Brown Headteacher Learn More

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our fundraising day for CHUF, a charity chosen in loving memory of our beautiful pupil Alfie, who will always be part of our nursery family 💙

Messy play was Alfie’s favourite kind of play and we honoured his memory today by getting extremely messy! We know Alfie will have been smiling down on us 💙

This event is extremely close to our hearts and we will forward all donations to CHUF following half term 💙

We hope you all have a wonderful half term break - we can’t wait to hear all about it when we return on Monday 1st June ❤️
