We are a Communication Friendly Setting. 

Oakengates Nursery School is an accredited Communication Friendly Setting – acknowledged by the award received through ELKLAN.  This means that understanding the speech, language and communication needs of all our children is at the forefront of our offer that we provide for our children,  the nursery environment is tailored to their needs and our staff are skilled at altering their own communication with each child.

ELKLAN Communication Friendly Setting accreditation is awarded to settings that have trained and support all their staff in communication and language development. They will also have shown evidence of embedding this knowledge in targeted interventions and through the implementation of a Communication Policy.
