St Anne’s is the home of choice for the brightest and most ambitious students, including those from underrepresented groups.
St Anne’s is one of Oxford’s largest colleges, with over 800 students. Our Fellows’ world leading research ranges across the arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and physical, life and medical sciences.
Our diverse, inclusive community extends around the globe through our alumnae, who build on their experiences here to change the world for the better.
Situated within 5 acres of tranquil leafy grounds, St Anne’s enjoys a unique atmosphere in which to hold any conference, dinner or special event.
St Anne’s College Nursery is a full-time day nursery, located in a purpose-built detached building within the College grounds.
Following a detailed external review of the nursery’s operations and future sustainability, consideration of the options available, and extensive discussion at the College’s most recent Governing Body meeting, the Trustees have taken the difficult decision that the College can no longer sustainably operate St Anne’s College Nursery. The nursery will close on 18 December 2026.

The nursery will remain open 8.45 a.m. to 5.15 p.m until it closes permanently on Friday 18 December 2026.
