About Us

 We are a small and welcoming community nursery established in the 1960s. Our aim is to provide the highest possible standard of nursery care and education.

The nursery is located within the grounds of Cumnor Primary School in the heart of Cumnor village, surrounded by open fields in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. We are a separate organisation from the School but with close links. However there is no formal catchment area and the nursery happily accepts children who will eventually go on to attend a different local primary school.

We offer part-time pre-school education for children aged two to five years. Children can start at the nursery after their second birthday. Morning sessions are for two year olds and younger three year olds, and afternoon sessions are for our older children, rising four, before going to school the following September. There are a limited number of all day places for our rising four group.

The majority of our staff are qualified to Level 3 or above in nursery education, and the team has a wealth of experience, and is committed to the welfare and development of every child.

Cumnor Pre-School is a registered charity managed entirely by a voluntary committee of parents, which aims to provide excellent nursery care for the benefit of local parents at a reasonable cost. Nursery fees cover staff salaries and day to day expenses whilst the acquisition of learning materials and equipment is met by fundraising.

I'm pleased to announce that we were rated 'GOOD' by Ofsted in June 2018. Please see Ofsted's report page on us
