Muddy Stilettos Reviews Oakfields: 2025
Muddy says: “A small, co-ed prep and nursery school with a nurturing attitude and spacious grounds in outer London.”
Woodland Trust’s Gold Green Tree School Award
At Oakfields, we are delighted to have achieved Gold Status in the Woodland Trust’s Green Tree Schools Award, a national programme that recognises schools making a meaningful and sustained contribution to the environment through hands on outdoor learning and purposeful sustainability projects.
The Green Tree Schools Award encourages Oakfields pupils to build a deep connection with nature through activities such as tree planting, wildlife exploration, reducing CO₂ emissions, and visiting local woodlands. These rich experiences enable us to progress through Bronze and Silver on our journey to Gold, while nurturing pupils’ curiosity and environmental awareness.
Achieving Gold reflects our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and the enthusiastic involvement of our pupils, staff, and wider Oakfields community in improving and understanding the natural world. The award includes a wooden plaque - a symbol of our collective effort to protect, enhance, and celebrate the green spaces that play such a vital role in school life.
This milestone highlights our belief in the power of outdoor learning to inspire curiosity, wellbeing, creativity, and responsibility. At Oakfields, caring for the environment is not simply a curriculum thread - it is a lived experience for every child, woven into the heart of our values and everyday practice.
Millie’s Mark Award
Oakfields has been awarded Millie’s Mark, a special endorsement that highlights our commitment to going above and beyond in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children.
This achievement reflects the dedication and expertise of our Early Years staff, who have all completed paediatric first aid training and demonstrated competence and confidence in applying it in practice. Beyond meeting the minimum requirements, Millie’s Mark recognises that we have robust procedures and documentation in place, providing parents with even greater reassurance about their children’s safety.
