Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Adderbury

I have had three children at Adderbury over the course of the past 9 years and I can honestly say it has been the best setting I could have wished for. A real home from home, with kind and caring staff who show dedication and commitment to each and every child. Staff get to know the children as individuals and support them to settle and thrive. The setting has engaging activities, and well considered continuous provision. The care given with medical issues and allergies is exceptional too, with dietary needs being catered for carefully. There have been so many exceptional members of staff and my children always adored the adults caring for them. Any issues raised have always been dealt with promptly. My children have always been so happy going in each day and it really has been like a second home for them all. Vi, the manager, is just super too. Couldn't recommend more - a perfect place to care for little ones.

My son, who has allergies and recently diagnosed autism, started here at 18 months. Having experienced another nursery previously, I can honestly say this one is exceptional. My daughter also attends and has thrived here since starting at 9 months. The care and attention they provide is outstanding. We have never had any concerns regarding my son's allergies, and the chef provides suitable alternatives so he can enjoy the same experiences without feeling left out. They support and accept him for who he is and always adapt their approach to meet his needs. With regards to his autism, they have shared valuable strategies that have helped both at nursery and at home. The staff are a real strength of the nursery. There is a good level of consistency within the team, which has helped both of my children build positive relationships and feel settled and supported in their environment.

My little one is now coming to the end of her journey here before starting school in September. We have always felt secure in the knowledge she is safe, happy and well looked after while here and I know she will genuinely miss the staff and children when she moves on. She loves the outside space, seems to eat better here than she does at home and her key workers have shown nothing but genuine care throughout.

My son started at Adderbury at a year and a half and stayed there until he left school recently, and my daughter started a few months ago at 11 months. I cannot express what a lovely environment this is, an absolute home away from home. The staff, from key workers to managers know each and every child so well and the love and care is palpable. The nursery is fantastic in its communication with parents and I can't recommend it enough. It can be such a nerve wracking and emotional thing leaving your child in the care of others, but Adderbury makes this transition as easy as it can be.

My two children are full time at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Adderbury and are thriving. The staff are extremely caring and engaging with the children. My eldest had very bad separation anxiety when she first started but the staff were excellent with her and she soon settled in and has developed special bonds with all of the staff. Both children have come on leaps and bounds since being at the nursery and it has helped them to become very confident and social and have excellent manners. The staff do a range of activities with the children and ensure they are doing what they can to meet the requisite milestones. The staff show exceptional empathy, compassion and care for the children and are always happy to work with parents and children if extra support is needed. I have full confidence that the children are well looked after and cared for and would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to others (and have done so).

I cannot recommend the team at Ashbourne Adderbury enough. My 7 month old son settled into nursery life perfectly and we felt that everything has been communicated well and his best interests are always a top priority. Amazing facility with amazing staff!

My two children attend this nursery and have a brilliant time. The staff really care about the children they look after and I feel they are in good hands. The outside space is a hidden gem too. I'd definitely recommend booking a visit to see if right fit for your family. We looked at several in Banbury and are so pleased we found this one.

My first daughter attended this nursery from 12 months to 5 years old. My second daughter is currently attending and has been for the past year and a half. I've nothing but positive things to say. The setting is homely and safe and they have always been flexible with their offering of sessions. Both my girls are extremely happy. The staff are caring, knowledgeable and attentive. They host a range of activities throughout the day to keep the children engaged and entertained. The fresh home cooked food has always been a hit with my girls.

Ashbourne Adderbury day care nursery are amazing. All the staff are so helpful, caring and perfect with the kids. My child loves it and gets excited to go. Communication is great. Food top notch. Positive energy from all thanks everyone

My little boy has been with at the Adderbury nursery for over 2 years since he was 9 months old.. the nursery has supported him through all stages.. He enjoys the routine, play and home cooked food that the nursery provides

My son has been at Adderbury for two years now, having started just before his first birthday. He is there full-time and he absolutely loves it! The staff are helpful and friendly, and I like to think they love him too. He comes back having learned all sorts, which I certainly didn't teach him! They do great activities, are always on hand for pragmatic advice. Being a solo mum who works full time, I could not be more reassured by a childcare provider, and my daughter will start there in September; could there be a better review than that?!

We are very happy at Adderbury and thank all the staff for their wonderful, caring nature.

My Daughter has been at Ashbourne Adderbury for about 9 months after moving here from another nursery when I changed jobs. She moved from a very large (approx 150 children) purpose built double storey nursery with huge outdoor space and originally I felt a bit sad that she no longer had access to this but what I realise was missing was that 'homely' feel that she now has at Ashbourne. ALL the staff know her, regardless of what room they work in. The manager is very hands on and frequently working with staff in the rooms and it does feel like home from home. All the staff have been really supportive with my daughter's toilet training/bowel routine and they know her 'little ways' and when she needs her bunny or a cuddle. She happily goes in and is always having fun when I go to pick her up. I feel really confident leaving her there for 4 long days a week and I can see the difference it makes, as she doesn't have siblings. Thank you for all you do!

This is my 8th year at this nursery and I wouldn't have had my girls anywhere else. We've had overall a great experience! The staff are so warm and welcoming, and it's clear they genuinely care. The environment is safe, fun, and engaging, and our little one loves going every day.

I honestly can't fault this nursery, the staff are so lovely and so caring for the kids, my daughter is now 3 and has been going since she was 9 months old, they create such a lovely, warm and welcoming environment. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone interested in sending their children. Any worries or concerns are always dealt with promptly and they have such good communication. Thank you for all you do!

If I could give this nursery more than 5* I would. I cannot fault the quality of care from the staff, the communication from everyone whether it be about my little boy or general nursery updates and the variety of food that is offered. The areas of play for the children inside and outside are well-equipped with a variety of toys. I really like that my little boy has the chance to mix with other classes. The app is a very helpful tool to keep track of my child's day-to-day activity. I like that the nursery put on some events throughout the year meaning I get to go and play with my little boy in his nursery surroundings. I am so glad that we chose Adderbury and have a very happy little boy who is developing so well.

Our son has been at Adderbury for over a year now and has moved up into the third of four rooms recently. As any parent would be, we were anxious when he started as an almost one-year-old. However, he settled in quickly and the staff were warm, welcoming, engaging, and understanding! He loves nursery and has developed so well from his time with the other children and staff. He is now a 2-year-old who loves nursery! We never looked back on this choice for our son! Great communication from the staff, great facilities, healthy food menu, great app, management, events and value for money! Thank you!

We have two children at the nursery and they really enjoy it. The staff are engaging, caring and enthusiastic. They know the kids really well. Communication is good generally and the staff also always find the time to give a good debrief at the end of the day. There are often events they put on which parents are invited to - which is lovely. There’s lots to explore in the outdoor area and keep them entertained. I love that the kids get to see each other quite a bit during the day even though they’re in different classes.

My eldest has even complained that nursery goes too quickly.

The feedback you get as a parent at the end of the day is always very detailed and if there are any concerns or worries they always call you immediately,

Can't recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has settled in so well in the baby room and has a lovely bond with her key person. My daughter always looks forward to going to nursery and I'm excited to watch her thrive during her nursery experience.
