HUNSDON HOUSE GARDEN NURSERY SCHOOL
International Nursery School since 1922
A LOVING START TO THE JOY OF LEARNING
We offer art clubs over holidays and half-terms, and also sensory sessions for 2s and under.
See the events page for more information.
We are a trusted and long-established Nursery School tucked away in the heart of Headington, Oxford, offering a loving start to the joy of learning for 2 to 5 year olds. The Hunsdon House family ethos is rooted in its history, opening its doors in 1922 in a family home. It was praised by the Education Minister for its innovative use of both indoor and outdoor learning spaces - the first true ‘Garden School’ of its kind. Children hear different languages and soon learn to speak English fluently alongside their native language. To this day, the nursery offers each child a nurturing haven of love and guidance as they navigate the world of friendships, nature and education.

Testimonials
A garden of peace and learning
Children have a deep need to be connected to the natural environment. When playing freely outdoors, they experience wonder and fascination with the changing colours of the leaves, the seeds in a poppy head and the many flowers and insects in the garden.
Attentive and bespoke child care
Our nursery provides a peaceful, unhurried learning environment which develops self-confidence, social skills and caring for others. We tailor our approach to meet the individual needs of each child, focusing on their unique strengths and areas for growth.
An ethos built on love and kindness
Our nurturing atmosphere teaches children to care for and respect each other. Close friendships develop and flourish, regardless of differences in ethnicity, culture, or language. A hand to hold, a companion to explore with, a friendly smile, are all that's needed.
Diversity and quality of activities
We keep a box of musical instruments to accompany the songs we learn and sing in different languages. We have weekly heuristic play sessions with handcrafted toys, story telling time, dance, and bread making. Seasonally we teach the children planting and harvesting in the garden.
Internationally diverse and inclusive
Our international Nursery provides opportunities for being with children from different cultures in a warm, supportive, multilingual setting. This helps children to feel comfortable with any social, cultural, or language differences, building early friendships within our community.
