The Little Oxford app is designed for little learners aged 3-5. It offers a fun, playful and interactive set of learning journeys for your child to explore and each pathway in the app is linked to an area of learning in the Early Years Curriculum.

Throughout are activities designed to boost your child’s physical and mental health, build their communication skills, support language and literacy development, encourage mathematical learning, encourage creativity and enhance their wider understanding of the world. The app is designed to support school readiness by covering the early years curriculum, encouraging your child to focus on activities, building curiosity and imagination, and helping them learn to follow simple instructions.

Some of the AR and 3D features in the app can be affected by the levels of light and the surroundings. If the AR features are not working, try using a different surface (i.e. the floor or table) or part of the room when scanning, or try changing the lighting level in the room. Unfortunately, sometimes these things can impact on the Augmented Reality tools we use and can make the images shake.

You may also want to check that you have enabled access to the camera in your app settings on your device, and make sure that you have a strong internet connection.

If you are still having issues with the camera and camera features you can get in touch with us by selecting ‘contact us’ in the app and completing the customer support form.
