At Annabelle's we have the space... to learn, make friends & have fun! It is our mission to ensure that we support each child's learning and development in a way that suits them!

We have recently embarked upon the 'Healthy Smiles' initiative, and as a result we have significantly reduced the amount of sugary and salty food that we offer at snack times, we have re written our lunch menu to make it as fresh as can be with our wonderful chef, Eva preparing all vegetables and making all sauces from scratch. As a team, we all support the children's awareness of foods that are good for them as well as teaching good routines like toothbrushing.

Some families with 3 & 4 year old children are eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium funding. If this applies to you, this extra funding could enhance your child's experience at nursery. This can be done via the setting purchasing additional equipment and resources specifically for your child and could include additional training for our staff on things like early language.

The Point is a place where you can find information about the development of children, understand how we keep children safe and it is also somewhere for us and you to share ideas like the 'learning packs' that one of our nursery managers, Sam likes to create for you to share with your child.

There is a pre-loved rail of clothes that you can donate or help yourself to as well as a 'donation station' of food pantry items that you are welcome to take. Things that are not taken are gifted to the local food pantry in Faringdon.

We have been using this fantastic speech and language programme for four years now and have found that it has really helped us identify, target and support children who have delayed language skills.

 It is widely accepted that early intervention is the best way to prevent children under-performing later in life so at Annabelle’s we make regular assessments of your child’s communication and language abilities so we can work together to support your child if they are not on track and need a little bit of help! 

Established in 1998, Annabelle’s has reliably offered the most flexible and high quality care to well over a thousand local families.

Annabelle’s caters for babies as young as 4 months, through to  Pre-school aged children, offering children lots of inside and outside space to learn, make friends and have fun.  With the support and care of highly trained, thoughtful staff, we are sure that Annabelle’s will provide the perfect environment for your child.

As a mummy of 3, I know that it is important that children spend their time in an environment where they feel safe and secure. In my settings we achieve this by building strong and warm relationships with children and parents. Our settings are well resourced and staffed by people who genuinely care for the welfare and development of children.

I hope that you and your child enjoy every minute that you are with us.
