WELCOME

I would like to welcome you to Oxclose Community Nursery School. I hope this website gives you an insight into the care and nurture we offer so that all children can develop, learn and thrive while they are in our care. We are a Local Authority Nursery School situated in Washington, a town in Sunderland. The school currently offers provision for children aged 2 to 4 years old, during school term time. We are open from 7.30am to 5pm daily, offering breakfast and after school club as wraparound care. Ruth Brown Headteacher Learn More
