Sandfield Day Nursery (Oxford)

I cannot recommend Sandfield highly enough. The team are kind, friendly and caring and put so much time, effort and energy into ensuring that the children are happy, healthy and supported. Our boys have thrived under the team's care and couldn't be happier there!

Our daughter is three now and started at Sandfield Day Nursery 2-years ago. We could not be happier; the nursery is such a welcoming environment, and my daughter absolutely loves it. The staff are well trained and so experienced; they are always ready to respond to our child's individual needs. I have often been amazed at the speed in which my daughter has learnt, despite the fact she is learning three languages. We would highly recommend this nursery.

We have had both our children at Sandfield Day Nursery and cannot speak highly enough of it. It has been a place where we have been happy to leave our children in the full knowledge that they will have not only their basic needs met, but that they will be nurtured, cared for and loved by the staff. Our son started there when he was a few months old and is now eight, so we have known and trusted this place for many years. Our daughter is off to school this year, and honestly, I will be so sad not to be coming here to collect them. We have come to know the staff here so well, and we will truly miss them when the time comes to leave. Many of the staff have been there the whole time we have, which speaks volumes about the type of environment and leadership for the staff to work in. This leadership is evident in the standards of care provided to children and families. We have, and will, continue to recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery that really cares.

This is our second child that Sandfield have looked after, and I think that is a great recommendation in itself.

Our son has been at Sandfields since 2019. We have always been impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the staff. Our son has thrived under their care and would wholly recommend. We are given plenty of opportunities to gain feedback from his key worker and feel nicely kept up to date with what’s going on at the nursery by the management team.

I have had such a great experience at Sandfields so far. My son absolutely loves going to nursery and has a really lovely connection with the staff there, who are all very friendly and caring. One of the things I love most about Sandfields is the freedom the children have to explore in a safe environment. In addition, an array of different activities are provided to help children learn and discover. As a parent, I find the weekly newsletters sent out by the nursery very informative, as they explain different schemas children at different ages experience and also provide activities we can do at home to further the children's learning.

We're really lucky to be so conveniently located to use Sandfield. Lovely nursery; really great staff, who take time to make our daughter's day exciting. She loves going; often asks if she can go at weekends. Have been using Sandfield now for almost 2-years, and we could not be happier.

We have used Sandfield nursery for all three of our children and have always known they are well cared for and looked after. The staff looking after the children are always so friendly and welcoming and help them settle in quickly. The resources and space for the kids are brilliant. There are lots of opportunities for them to learn and enjoy the company of other little ones. The staff work so hard to keep the activities varied and interesting. We’ve enjoyed lots of family/parent events, where we can see what the children have been doing too. We recommend Sandfields to anyone who asks for a nursery recommendation!

We had a great experience at the Sandfield Nursery! We started during lockdown without the chance to see the rooms and all the staff, but each one made a huge effort to make the process as smooth as possible, and the happiness of our daughter to get in each day was the best readout. We have also been really happy about the room change transition they have done because we have seen no stress in our little one, although to us, it seemed a huge change. Thanks also for the work done to support bilinguals!

Currently on my second child to pass through Sandfield. I have found all the staff (without exception) to be wonderful with my children - they have been able to build a good relationship with my sons and made them feel secure and happy. It has given me great peace of mind to have such a fantastic team looking after my children.

My child started at Sandfield shortly after she turned one. I was very nervous about this transition, but I am so glad we have had the team around her, a really extended family around her. Sandfield has provided her and us, her parents, with security, love, support and guidance. Our child has now left, and although she loved nursery, she is super excited to start school, and I see this as an example of how the team around her have helped to prepare her for the transition. We still regularly play nurseries and get divided into groups with all her previous keyworkers and friends. The time she and we have had with Sandfield is a time we will never forget and one that we will always be thankful for.

Our son was very happy at Sandfield Nursery. The staff managed to build a good rapport with him, and he liked the toys and garden there. He made a lot of good friends and he still speaks about the nursery staff, even now that he has moved on to school. This is an excellent nursery and I can only recommend it.

After nearly four years at Sandfield Day Nursery, our son could not have been better prepared for Primary School.

It's down to the hard work, dedication, compassion and creativity of the team at Sandfield Day Nursery that he starts a new educational chapter with all the tools he needs to make a success of it.

I am very pleased with Sandfield Day Nursery. My son started attending when he was 10-months-old and left to start his reception year at school. He went through all the different rooms at the nursery and had different key persons. I cannot express how grateful I am for the amazing staff I have come across with. My son was always happy to go to nursery and loved the staff. They were all very supportive and attentive.

Best nursery in the area! We cannot recommend it highly enough. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Excellent environment indoors and out. Our son spent a wonderful year there, and now he is managing so well in his new school. Thank you, Sandfield!

I would highly recommend Sandfield to family and friends.

We have been so impressed with the care, attention and support that our children have received at Sandfield nursery. The children have both loved their time at Sandfield and looked forward to going every week. The staff are kind, caring and do a wonderful job. I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough, and we will be very sad to leave.

Our daughter has absolutely loved Sandfield. The staff in her room clearly know her so well and have made her feel very secure, and it has been lovely to see her flourish there. We have seen her develop in leaps and bounds whilst having so much fun.

She had some difficulties moving up to a room with some much older children at the same time as she became a big sister, and I was very impressed with the speed and flexibility with which this was handled by the manager, who called me up within an hour of my email to discuss options.

We would absolutely recommend Sandfield to our friends!

Thank you.

Our son has been at Sandfield Day Nursery (Oxford) for the past 3 years, and we are very sad to leave (as we are moving overseas). He started as a 7-month-old, and has been well looked after at every stage of his development. He is a naturally confident (and very bossy) toddler, and the staff have encouraged his good traits and worked with us on his more challenging behaviours. As a result, he has bloomed. Sandfield has also been incredibly helpful and supportive over the whole Covid period, dealing well with all the challenges that have arisen. I have no hesitation in recommending Sandfield to anyone. If we were staying in Oxford we would definitely keep our son (and his baby brother) there as long as we could!
