Review of Quackers Day Nursery Banbury from X M (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Today was our son's last day at Quackers Day Nursery after attending from the age of 1 until 3. We are leaving with nothing but happy memories and gratitude. From his very first day, every member of staff made him feel safe, loved, and supported.
Watching him grow in confidence, independence, and happiness over the past two years has been incredible, and we know that Quackers has played a huge part in his development. He has built wonderful friendships, learned so much, and always looked forward to coming to nursery.
A heartfelt thank you to every member of staff for your kindness, patience, dedication, and genuine care. You have made such a positive difference in our son's life, and we will always be grateful for everything you have done.

We highly recommend Quackers Day Nursery to any family looking for a warm, caring, and nurturing environment. Thank you for giving our son the very best start to his journey. We will miss you all!

Reply from Lela White, Nursery Manager at Quackers Day Nursery Banbury

We are very sad to see him go but know he will continue to flourish in his next venture! Thank you for your kind words.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Chieveley from Joanna S (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter started here at 12 months and both she and we have been so happy from the start. Excellent communication and response to emails, well structured settling in and she is still so happy to go in 8 months later. The team are very knowledgeable and caring and provide a good range of activities. We will be sad to move up rooms but sure Newts will be just as positive an experience!

Reply from Anthony Pickford, MD at Quackers Day Nursery Chieveley

Thank you for the wonderful feedback Joanna, it really means a lot to the team.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Banbury from Emilee F (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since April 2025, starting in Ducklings and has now moved to Ducks. From the day he started all of the staff at Quackers have been amazing. He comes home after each session so so happy. He has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery, the staff know exactly what will make him happy and all of his interests. Special mention to his key worker: Ellie, every morning he is so excited to go into nursery to see her. I can not recommend this nursery enough.

Reply from Lela White, Nursery Manager at Quackers Day Nursery Banbury

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased to hear how much he enjoys his time at nursery and has bonded so well with his key person.

Review of Cygnet Nursery from P O (Father of Child) published on 16 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Cygnet have taken the time to really know and understand my children. They remain caring and professional while also enjoying their roles and bringing a sense of fun. They have responded with listening and flexibility whenever there's changes or challenges to adapt to. The hours provided, pricing, food provision, and parking arrangements at the nursery have all been positive in my experience.

I can't recommend Quackers enough. Both my children have attended and my son still does. There is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and they can't do enough to help and support you. We loved Quackers so much we reserved a place for my son while I was still pregnant to get a space. They are flexible and do some wonderful things with the children.

Overall Experience
Quakers are a very warm, caring and nurturing environment. They look after my child with diligent attention and personalised care. She has always loved nursery and is very attached to her team.

The baby room is well equipped with several different spaces for the babies. We get thoughtful feedback each day and where we have had any questions they have been answered carefully and promptly. The staff are highly skilled and seem to really enjoy being with the babies in their care.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Chieveley from Rachel S (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Quackers is a lovely nursery - they provide a range of enrichment activities that have helped build out our daughter's curiosity and confidence. The staff are brilliant at introducing themselves to the parents and being present with the children so she has familiar faces throughout the day wherever she is. The menu options are brilliant and have been great at introducing her to a variety of new tastes and flavours. While we have a key worker aligned, all the staff treat her with care, empathy and respect. They understand her personality and all bring out her fun, silly side. Handover at the end of the day is comprehensive and we come away feeling like we have participated in her day too.

We love this nursery. Our second child is currently attending and she is thriving. They have many highly experienced staff who give excellent care to the children, and lots of activities for the children to take part in, including visits from mobile farms etc. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Banbury from Sathsarani J (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are very happy with Banbury Nursery. Our daughter has grown in confidence so much since joining, especially as we moved here from another country. The staff have welcomed her with open arms and made her feel safe, happy, and included from the very beginning.
All the staff are caring, friendly, and supportive, and they always greet her warmly. We are truly grateful for everything they have done to help her settle in, develop new skills, and build her confidence.

The nursery provides a wonderful environment for children to learn, play, and grow. We highly recommend Banbury Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive place for their child.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Chieveley from C S (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little one absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are incredible , genuinely caring and so invested in the children's happiness and wellbeing.

It has a lovely family-run feel, and the fact that so many staff have been there for years really shows how much they care.

The outdoor space is fantastic, and there are so many wonderful activities: school plays, sports days, photos, farm visits, parents evenings.

Most mornings my little one runs in without even looking back, which is the best reassurance that he truly loves it there. I'd highly recommend

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Chieveley from Anne O (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a Dutch family, we moved from Belgium to the UK last November. Our son started at Quackers in December, and our daughter, who was born in February, started this month. Our only previous nursery experience was in Belgium, but so far our experience with Quackers has been amazing!

The staff are incredibly helpful, friendly, and flexible. They communicate well about the children's progress and any concerns, especially when there is a contagious illness going around. For our daughter, they took the time to help her settle in properly, which we really appreciate. As a parent, this makes it feel safe and reassuring to bring her there, even though she is only four months old.

Our son loves going to Quackers and happily says hello and goodbye to everyone. The activities vary from day to day, and the food is freshly prepared with a varied three-week menu.

Overall, we are very happy and grateful for the care Quackers provide.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Chieveley from Amy T (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have had such a positive experience with Quackers. It is always clean, welcoming, and well organised, which gives us peace of mind as parents. The meals provided are excellent, with a great variety of healthy options.

The staff are friendly, caring, and very knowledgeable, and nothing is ever too much to ask. They take the time to support both children and parents and make every child feel valued.

I really appreciate how they stick to routines, which has helped my child feel settled and secure. There are always lots of fun and engaging activities that support learning and development, and I have seen such a positive difference in my child's confidence and growth.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Chieveley from Hannah D (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been at Quackers day nursery since she was around 9months old. She is now 2 and a half and she has loved being there since day 1. The staff are so friendly and supportive. The building is clean, welcoming and secure. The rooms are a really great size for each age group, which have been a concern at other nurseries I've visited. Each room has plenty of room to move around, sleep, eat and play.

The activities are above and beyond. Something I've never experienced at other nurseries. They have farm visits, P.E with an external company trained to teach children, music, they have caterpillars which they watch grow into butterflies. They've had duck and chicken eggs which they've learnt about and watched hatch. The amount of extra 'activities' is fabulous and the children clearly learn so much from it. My child is always chatting about what she's been doing. Plus the garden is fantastic. So much space for all the children to run around and be themselves. We love Quackers!

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Banbury from Jori L (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery for two months now, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. He settled in so quickly and comes home every day full of joy. The teachers are truly wonderful-caring, patient, and dedicated. A special thank-you to Erjona, who looks after him throughout the day. We feel incredibly grateful knowing he is in such good hands. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a loving and supportive environment for their child.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Banbury from Hannah J (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A truly wonderful nursery.
My son started in January this year in the baby room, and from day one the staff made me feel completely at ease - especially important after a previous bad experience elsewhere. Every member of the team seems to genuinely know my child: his interests, his quirks, and what sparks his curiosity.

He leaves nursery smiling, and at home he talks about the staff by name, which says everything. He's become such a happy, confident little boy, and that's down to the care, attention, and hard work they put in every single day.

I honestly can't express how happy I am with this nursery. A real gem, right near the centre of town.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Banbury from Agata S (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Great nursery with truly wonderful staff! My daughter always lights up when she sees her key worker, Erin. Even though she hasn't been at the nursery for long, she bonded with Erin immediately and really enjoyed her time there.
The facilities are lovely, and I especially appreciate that children spend so much time outdoors in the beautiful garden next to the canal.

We have been with the nursery for about a month and a half. The only reason we are moving is that a nursery closer to our home, which previously had no spaces, is now able to take our daughter. Otherwise, we would have happily kept her in the safe and caring hands of this nursery.

Review of Quackers Day Nursery Banbury from Leona R (Mother of Child) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my daughters attend Quackers and I have nothing but positive feedback!
We're so happy with Quackers; the staff, the care, the communication! Our girls always come home happy and although they are both in separate rooms based on age group (babies and pre-school), we love that they get to see and play with each other throughout the day. We also love that our youngest has a handover book with a full write up off her day - sleep, food, nappies etc.
The communication through learning journals is fab, and we love the updates, pictures and reports on the girls development. I particularly love getting updates when I'm at work and can see that the girls are happy and enjoying themselves!
The new look of the nursery is great and we're really impressed with the care and attention that's gone into making it a wonderful space for children to blossom.

Last but not least we're extremely happy with how the 30 funded hours are allocated in term time - a nice surprise for September!

My son started in February 2025, he loves nursery and has grown in confidence since starting Quackers. He comes home talking about the staff members and activities, and says their names and his friends names in excitement when he knows we are going to nursery. He runs in happly and sometimes it is hard to get him to leave when he is having lots of fun.
