If you’re looking for somewhere to hold your party, meeting or a series of classes, Mortimer West End Village Hall could be the ideal venue. The flexible layout, with its spacious entry hall, large hall (6m x 9m) and small hall (6m x 3m) lends itself to many purposes. The kitchen is fully equipped and there are plenty of tables and chairs available to use. Fast and efficient heating makes it warm and cosy. The hall is also just 15 minutes from Junction 11 of the M4 and 20 minutes from Junction 6 of the M3 and has parking for about 20 cars. There is a recreation ground and children's playground across the road, and footpaths through the woodlands behind.  The small hall can be hired for as little as £3.50 per hour during the day.

The Oaks is a not-for-profit organisation (a Community Interest Company) providing wraparound and preschool care in Mortimer, Burghfield and Silchester. 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 in Mortimer and has evolved from one club run by volunteer parents to a Community Interest Company running 9 clubs in 3 villages with over 250 children being looked after by a friendly, professional, and caring team of around 35 staff.

In Mortimer we run Early Little Oaks breakfast club at the Mortimer Community Centre (7.30-9.00am), and then accompany the children safely to their classroom at Mortimer St John’s school.  Our Little Oaks club provides after-school care on-site at Mortimer St John’s from the end of the school day until 6.00pm.

Down the hill at Mortimer St Mary’s, we run Early Big Oaks breakfast club (7.30-9.00am) and Big Oaks (3.30-6.30pm).  Children are able to use the extensive school playing fields, astroturf area, and playground equipment for outdoor play, and indoor play extends from the Oaks building into the school hall and classrooms on some days when these are available.

 Our staff are trained in ‘child-led play’, a method which develops children’s confidence and imagination as well as their friendships. We 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!
