• The Arts
• Language and Literacy

We are inspected annually by Social Services’, ensuring the plans and curriculum reaches their high standard and we continue to develop and promote good practice within our setting.
We at Oasis believe every child is unique, and that every child matters. We have a strong multicultural element to the Playgroup and have children from a variety of cultures.
It is important that we encourage children to embrace their differences, and it is our aim that the children leave Oasis feeling confident, motivated and aware of others.
