Child First Banbury Nursery

Overall, we absolutely love Child First Nursery. Thank you.

My daughter attends nursery 5 days a week and is extremely settled into the Sweetpeas room. I pick up regularly and love to see her playing confidently with the other children. She is becoming an independent little girl and we put this down to the amazingly attentive staff who are happy to follow any requests that we have as parents and provide our daughter with a rich and stimulating environment in which to grow and develop. I would happily recommend them to any other parent.

I could not ask for a better nursery for my son to attend. He started at 3 months old and has grown into a beautiful clever boy with the help of Child First. The keyworker my son has is excellent! They have a great bond which makes me feel happy. The meals/snacks are great too. They interact with the kids so well, always picking him up and bringing home things he has done/made. Would recommend this nursery to every parent especially nervous ones! BEST EVER!

Even now my eldest daughter loves to come in and see everyone and they all remember her and give cuddles!

This is the first nursery for my son, he started about 4 months ago. I was worrying about his settlement period but it was ok. The staff are great, my son likes his key person very much, she encourages him to participate in messy activities and play with other children from his first day and still helps him to learn new things. Outside space is quite small. There were cases of chicken pox and a stomach bug at nursery but it is kind of unavoidable thing in any nursery I guess.

As a first time mum the thought of having to send my daughter to nursery was very scary. Child First Banbury was recommended to me by people I work with. After my visit to the nursery I was put at ease and knew my daughter would get excellent care. After just 3 short months she has settled well and loves attending. Her key worker is amazing, she's so caring and makes a real effort with me and my husband. My daughter has built a good relationship with her too. This was initial for me, and knowing she has such an amazing team around her. Would put any parent at ease. I'm very happy as a parent and mu daughter is thriving.

Negatives. I suppose the fantastic buildings do lack comparable outdoor space - there are several great outside play spaces, but no big green area to run around in. That said, they make the most of nearby parks and often take the children out to these. Childfirst is definitely at the high price point of local childcare options, but you get exactly what you pay for, which in this case is great facilities, brilliant staff, fun, adventure and peace of mind knowing your child is having a wonderful nursery experience. Worth every penny.

I would highly recommend Child First Nursery. My daughter is very happy in here. The staff are wonderful, well qualified, caring and attentive and she has the best support ever. The nursery provides wide variety of healthy, home made food. Plenty of activities during the day such as cooking, dancing, walks to the local library, museum and park. The outside space is well done. Great ideas of theme days, all staff dress up and children have lots of fun. Also the nursery has some really interesting pets. Staff always smiling, polite and ready to answer all your questions! The resources are great and the staff are fantastic. Highly recommended!

Child First nursery is excellent. The staff there are all incredibly friendly and passionate, never to busy in the day to give detailed feedback about your child's day. The food provided at the Nursery is amazingly varied and it always impresses me how many different meals they serve, which are healthy AND tasty. There is no limit to the amount the children do in their days here, from story time and games, to walks to the park (and even going to make Pizzas at local restaurants!). The nursery also keeps animals, which the children love and know by name!

Since moving over to Child First, my son has come along leaps and bounds. The staff here have helped and encouraged him with everything; including learning to use the toilet, learning letters and numbers (spelling his name!) and learning to take part in group activities.

I couldn't be happier with Child First!

I would definitely recommend Childfirst to any parent who is looking for a homely nursery environment for their child.

An excellent nursery, which I would recommend to any parent. Lovely friendly staff who build a special bond with every child. My son absolutely loves it here and they have helped him grow and develop so much.

What a fantastic nursery.

Child First Banbury feels like a big family. The staff are friendly and helpful, and really can't do enough to make sure that both children and parents have a really positive experience. My 3 year old son has been going to Child First for 2.5 years and loves it. The name says it all really, the child is always put first - they get to choose what they want to do; activities are child-led. And they make great use of an old and interesting building.

They get served great food, they get to help prepare it, serve themselves and help tidy it away too. There's always a great range of things to do and play with, they sing songs, they go on outings, they bake, they play outside, they look after nursery pets, play with their friends and have a blast.

I would not hesitate to recommend Child First Banbury.

My son started at the nursery in September 2014 and he has settled in so well. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly, and its lovely that everyone in the nursery has time for him. My son loves his nursery days and is excited to see his key worker. It is lovely to hear that he goes on many walks around Banbury and to the park and canal. The continental breakfast is amazing and with the lovely food the chefs make I know my son has an enjoyable meal. It is so lovely to see how much my little boy has grown and developed at child first.
