About us
A small school with a big garden
Rosa Delgado opened Little Oaks in 2014 in a converted farmhouse on Birchwood Lane. It now has room for 34 children across three groups.
We keep groups small, spend time outside every day and cook our own meals. Parents get a short note at every pick-up and a photo update each week.

How we handle the everyday things
Settling in
Two short visits with a parent before the first full day, then a shorter first week.
Meals and allergies
Our cook plans meals around every child's allergies and dietary needs. Menus go home each Friday.
When your child is sick
Children stay home for 24 hours after a fever or stomach bug. We call you straight away if they get unwell here.
Pick-up
Only adults on your pick-up list can collect your child. We ask for ID the first time we meet them.
