Day Nurseries Owned by Bright Stars Nursery Group Ltd in Oxfordshire

I can honestly say there was never a day when my daughters didn't want to go to nursery. They loved every minute of it. The range of activities i

Thank you to all the wonderful staff in the Bluebells classroom for the kindness, care, and dedication you show every day. We are truly grateful for everything you have done for our daughter and would highly recommend Child First Nursery to any family looking for a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment for their child.

Communication is clear, the environment is calm and well organised and overall it's just a very positive and friendly place. Thank you for everything you do!

My daughter has been attending the setting since she was 9 months old and I believe the nursery to be a very positive, caring environment for her. They made the transition for her (and me!) very smooth and easy with constant updates and reassurance it made the difficult process of me going back to work better than it could have been. Her confidence has significantly grown since she started and she has learnt a lot of new skills. The setting is very spacious and clean and they change the rooms around with new activities for children fairly regularly. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable of the children attending even if they don't work directly with the. The office staff are always welcoming and make time totally if you have any concerns or queries both in person and email, communication is very good. The food is cooked fresh daily and my daughter has been more adventurous with trying new things since starting there. Although the overall care is good and recent ofsted report was deemed it (expected standard). I don't think it is very overpriced (I would expect and ofted rating of "exceptional") for what they charge.

What I can gather from Taylen is he is very happy here and his progress with talking and other stuff has improved alot. I think Hannatt is a amazing worker and I know Taylen loves her to bits. She is always very smiley and bubbely and makes Taylen feel very safe and happy. Every staff are good but as Taylen key worker I wouldn't want anyone else as she is very good. Amy is also a very good worker and is always happy and friendly.

We've had a wonderful experience so far. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive and genuinely interested in my sons development. We felt welcomed and reassured that out son is in a safe and nurturing environment. We feel well informed about our sons progress and daily experiences.

Child First Nursery Bicester has been supportive, accommodating and very understanding to the challenges that first time parents face. Havin a hundred and one questions to be met with positive re-assurance and meeting requests takes that 'mom-guilt' away. My baby is having an incredible time here and her development has been phenominal! I cannot recommend this nursery enough. They take great care of you and your child's well being and mental health knowing your baby is in a great place filled with trained, qualified staff and new friends.

I am hugely appreciative of the caring and supportive team at Child First. My children's speech and social skills are monitored and scaffolded; it's great to receive digital updates on their progress so frequently. It's clear both my son and daughter feel safe and happy with staff. The manager, Gemma has been amazing in collaborating with outside agencies to help my children access specialist funding and support services.

Incredible staff - so much support. Have had the best couple of years at Child First. Our little one loves going in and seeing all of his friends and has amazing bonds.

Child First Bicester is a wonderful setting that really supports children to thrive. My son started 7 months ago and has developed in confidence and loves going to nursery. He is always happy, exploring and singing!

My boy has been at Child First in Banbury since September 2025 and has thrived since in the new year he moved under Maddie's care in the sweetpeas rooms and loves it. He's made lots of new friends, always talks about the staff and is getting so much better at drop offs in the morning.

Sweetpea's room and staff are always helpful and reassuring. They provide useful information at handovers and are able to answer questions when we have them.

Lovely nursery. Kind & caring staff. My daughter has been attending since she was 1. She is now nearly 4. She loves nursery, the staff & her made some friends. All senior staff are wonderful & make the nursery a safe place for you to leave your kids with they do activities for lots of religious & non religious events which allows children to understand diversity.

My daughter is one year old and started attending Child First 3 months ago. At first I was anxious about how she would adjust, but she settled in faster than I thought. The staff are incredibly supportive, patient and re assuring, especially during those early days when I called often to check on her. I'm so impressed with how much she's developed. She is learning so much every day. The team is incredibly encouraging and nurturing, she loves going there every day. Highly recommend!

My son currently attends classes here part time, he totally loves it! He enjoys play time with Jasmine and Mike, same every time he comes home he tells me all about it. All the teachers encourage him to have his lunch and he always finishes it which I'm happy about. We love Child First!

We have had a very positive experience at the nursery. Jasmin especially has made an important and lasting impression as she has made extraordinary efforts to support our son. The staff in general have been excellent and really important for our son's development. This is particularly impressive as funding is difficult in an organisation within childcare.

Both of my daughters have been flourishing since joining Child First in September. They're both more talkative, confident and active. Christmas was especially lovely as it was evident how much they'd learnt about the festive season. They always return home happy and full of nice stories and exercises.

Overall a lovely nursery, has improved after last year with members of staff leaving, but they seem to be back on there feet & my child loves preschool. She is always excited to tell me about her day & activities she has done.

Child First have provided a great level of childcare for both our children. The last year has been more challenging for them, with a lot of staff changes, but this has settled and they continue to provide an excellent environment, especially in the pre-school. Many thanks to all the pre-school staff, who have exceptionally big shoes to fill!
