Child First Banbury Nursery

I couldn’t recommend Child First highly enough, even our oldest granddaughter who is nine still talks about the nursery and the lovely staff there.

Our children have been at Child First Banbury since Oct 2013 and we've been very happy with the nursery. Great atmosphere, all-year-round care and even staff not normally associated with our children always seem to know their names. Yummy food too! The staff there are so dedicated - which has been especially apparent in their efforts to get everyone back in safely the following lockdown. I'm actually quite sad that our littlest one will be off to school soon and we won't see the Child First team any more!

Our son has been at Child First for over a year, and he loves it. We chose Child First mainly because of the location, and as soon as we went to visit we knew we had made the right choice. Our son settled in quickly, and he is clearly learning new things while he is there. All the staff members know our son, even if they don't work in the same room as he is in. They seem to do some really interesting activities with him, and it's so lovely when he comes home with homemade things. The staff are all very helpful, and always reply super quickly if we have any questions. Overall the nursery is excellent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The staff are excellent. Very helpful, friendly and dedicated to the children. The front of house, Management and Catering Team also provide a great service.

Absolutely amazing nursery fantastic staff. I have used Child First since it opened and my children have really benefited from being there. We have great relationships with all the staff and my children have always formed a good relationship with their keyworkers. They make you feel welcomed and are fantastic support. My youngest is going to be heartbroken when she leaves in July.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

I don't have enough good things to say about Child First in Banbury. My two-year-old has grown into a confident, chatty, sociable little girl under the nurturing, creative and caring watch of all the people who work here. Her days are clearly full of opportunities for lots of fun and learning as well as delicious food. We've also really appreciated the flexibility and common sense approach of the staff and management. I'd highly recommend it.

The most important part of all is that my daughter beams with smiles on both drop off and collection and has created a great bond with all of the staff there.

Child First Banbury has been one of the most important choices we have made and it does feel like it has been the best. Our daughter has been going to nursery for the past 3 years and I love how far she has progressed and how confident she has become. She loves the nursery, her friends and the wonderful staff and now her little brother goes too. Thanks so much for all you do for them, for encouraging them to believe in themselves and for making them happy.

My child absolutely loves attending Child First Banbury. He's always doing something different and trying new things. He loves messy play and all the staff are really friendly, and I feel they really do know the children one to one. The food is amazing too, home-cooked and my child really loves it! Thank you to all.

The staff were so warm and friendly. My children enjoyed interacting with all of them. The different rooms provide interest and excitement for children of all ages.

They will often share their wonderful memories of their time at this nursery and this is a credit to the members of staff who work tirelessly to ensure that the provision they provide is both stimulating, educational and above all enjoyable. All the elements that children need to become successful and confident learners. As a family, we were so impressed with this setting that when the time came there was no hesitation in enrolling our granddaughter who is currently attending and thriving as a result.

My granddaughter attends this nursery as did my grandsons before her. When a child attends a nursery there is always the fear they will not settle and will be distressed. This could not be further from the truth at Child First Banbury Nursery. The staff go above and beyond with the children attending here. The nursery is clean very well equipped and very professionally run, I found the staff approachable at all times and always engaging with the children to the point both my grandsons have excelled with their learning curve prior to them starting school. My granddaughter is also a happy, adventurous and clever little girl who the staff care for with the utmost commitment. I can not recommend this nursery enough and thank all the staff for taking care of my precious grandchildren.

I have a close relationship with Child First Banbury which is attended by my granddaughter. I have had the pleasure of being 'Father Christmas' for two years. The caring attitude of the staff and the happiness of the children would be obvious to anyone spending some time there. There is a feeling of a well organised and committed workforce who have the well being of the children in their care at its heart.

My boys love coming to this nursery so much. Their development has come on leaps and bounds. So many different activities for them, each day is different. I love listening to them telling me about their day when I pick them up. The staff are so friendly and caring too, my boys adore them and talk about them all the time.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. Both of my children have attended/currently attend Child First - it is a wonderful nursery. The staff care so much about all of the children, and it has been an absolute pleasure to get to know them over the past four years. They are so kind, generous with their time and compassionate. The children have great fun all day. The activities are creative, they learn so much, the food is freshly made and both of my children absolutely love/loved it here. I could not ask for more. I know when I leave in the morning, they will be cared for and have fun all day. When I pick up at night, they are happy and I am given a full report of everything they have been up to all day. I feel very lucky to have found Child First!

I’ve chosen this nursery for my older son over three years ago, he started in a baby room and now he is in pre-school, his younger brother followed his footsteps and recently also moved to Pre-school. They both absolutely love it, they come home happy and excited about all the amazing activities they did though out the day. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they look at each child as individuals. Food provided by nursery is very nutritious and from the local suppliers to what I’ve seen. Nursery runs lots of events throughout the year and supports the local community by building a relationship with the local care home. Having access to tapestry allows parents to track they children development. I couldn’t be happier with the choice of the nursery and I can strongly recommend it.

What an amazing nursery! They go out of their way to help you and your child, made my daughter and son feel soo welcome and they loved coming every day. A variety of activities to stimulate them and monitored their learning amazingly, even offering home learning packs to do at home and of course their library where we could take different books home to read so we weren’t reading the same ones all the time. The food was amazing and they did a wide range of food, all healthy and even getting the children to help with the cooking and getting involved. Their visits to the elderly homes were amazing and my child always came home talking about the friends she had made on the visits. I highly recommend to anyone who wants a home from home approach and excellent standards of care.

I highly recommend this nursery.

We are very happy we chose this nursery. My children are settling really well into the preschool. Staff are caring, kind and gentle. There is definitely a fun atmosphere which children this young need. They are slowly growing in confidence with great support from the staff. Great nursery.
