Who are we?
The Oaks Childcare Clubs CIC is a not-for-profit organisation (a Community Interest Company) providing breakfast clubs, after school clubs and a preschool. All of our clubs are a fun, safe place for children of different ages to play, relax and spend time together.
The Oaks was started nearly 20 years ago and has evolved from one club run by volunteer parents to a Community Interest Company running 9 clubs in 4 villages with over 300 children being looked after by a friendly, professional, and caring team of around 40 staff.

Our breakfast and after school clubs are based in Mortimer, Silchester, Aldermaston and Pamber End. At Mortimer St John’s Infant School we run Early Little Oaks and Little Oaks. At Mortimer St Mary’s Primary, we run Early Big Oaks and Big Oaks. At Aldermaston CE Primary School we run Early Aldermaston Oaks and Aldermaston Oaks.

Oct 23: High Satisfaction Holiday Oaks Parent Survey
We were very pleased to have had such a good and positive response to the parent survey that we ran in September 2023. This survey covered specifically Holiday clubs.
Fun, safe childcare... child-led play
Every day during term-time a team of highly experienced staff set up activities, games, and crafts in each of our clubs to help children have fun, relax and play together, with a healthy breakfast or snack along the way.
Our staff are trained in ‘child-led play’, a method which develops children’s confidence and imagination as well as their friendships. In our school-based clubs, the children get to choose whether to play inside or outside in (almost!) any weather. At our preschool, in addition to indoor play (and an opportunity for a little nap or quiet time for the little ones), there is plenty of outdoor fun to be had.
Our experienced and caring staff really get to know your child and love seeing them have fun. Often the biggest complaint we get from parents is that their child won’t come home because they’re having too much fun!
