Overall Experience

The nursery is great, my daughter has been there since she was 10 months and our second will be joining soon.

We're very happy with the management and the positive changes they've made and all the staff are incredibly caring and committed.

Our daughter loves the meals, always goes in and comes home happy and participates in a wide variety of activities including externally sourced educational and exciting ventures!

Overall Experience

As a first time mum I was very worried about letting my daughter go to nursery at the age of just 11 months but all staff at BON nursery helped us work through her separation anxiety during the settlement period and now she loves staying at the nursery and she's thriving. It's a lovely environment and we're thrilled with the progress our daughter has made since joining the nursery. Thank you!

Overall Experience

British Orchard Nursery are doing brilliant things for our little girl, who is currently in the under 2's room downstairs. She really loves the staff, is always blowing them kisses, and talks about them at home as her friends. We had our eldest at this nursery 5 years ago for a short time, and it is now under different management. The difference that this current management has made is phenomenal. Meals are nutritious, varied and well received by children, exposing them to many different foods. Staff have very little turnover in the year since we've been there. The manager is focused on child development and curriculum. Parents evenings are informative. Open evenings showcasing children's art or Christmas songs have a community feel. Relationships seem excellent between parents and the staff and there are transparent policies regarding funded hours, tax free childcare, and term time options. Outside space is good despite being a fairly small site. Overall, we are very happy

Review from Emma H (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 9 months old, she is now just over 2 years old. It was the best decision, their opening times suit us as full time working parents. She loves attending nursery getting very excited when we get ready in the mornings. She is always happy at pick up time. The nursery offer a wide range of activities and food options, they welcome parent/guardian input as well. They aim to mirror home life with celebrating different cultures and celebrations. The staff are friendly and approachable they have helped with my daughter's development and nothing is too much trouble. The facilities including the garden is suitable for all ages.

Review from B H (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has just started at Oxford British Orchard Nursery, and I'm already so impressed with how things are going. The staff are incredibly kind and caring, and it's clear they've made a big effort to help my little one feel safe and comfortable right from the start. Even though we're new, it already feels like a warm, welcoming place.
The activities they offer are fantastic! Even in the short time, my child's been there, they've been involved in fun things like arts and crafts, music, and outdoor play. It's great to see my child enjoying it so much.

As a parent, it's such a relief to feel confident that my child is in good hands. The staff have been really good at keeping me updated on how my child is settling in, and I can already see the positive impact. Oxford British Orchard Nursery is a lovely mix of care and fun learning, and I'm so happy we chose this place. I'd definitely recommend it to other parents just starting out too!

Review from J D (Father of Child) published on 17 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child has been here for a year in the babies room since he turned one. Each member of the babies team has been excellent enabling him to build great connections. Over the last few months, Oxford's British Orchard Nursery have moved to the app which is a regular source of updates and information and have a new manager in place since May, who fully understands the needs of both the parents, the staff and is very open and welcoming of feedback as part of building good relationships with the parents. The building itself is a lovely, open environment with plenty of space along with a large outdoor play area. Would recommend.

Reply from Emily Sloan, Main Contact at Oxford's British Orchard Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind words, we are glad you love the app as much as we do! We love the growth and development your little one has made while with us and treasure the relationships we have with not just our children, but their whole families.

Overall Experience

A nursery is generally okay but it leaves something to be desired in terms of organisation with the children's things, changing the children's belongings all the time, which ends up causing inconvenience to the parents. Other than that, the nursery is very good.

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our little one receives at Oxford's British Orchard Nursery! From the very first day, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and reassured, taking the time to get to know our child and tailor their approach to suit their needs.
The facilities are fantastic-clean, well-organised, and full of stimulating activities that keep the children engaged and learning throughout the day. What really stands out, though, is the nurturing environment the staff create. Every member of the team is not only professional but also warm and caring, truly going above and beyond to make sure the children feel safe, happy, and supported.

Highly recommend!

Overall Experience
A lovely nursery that is very 'Up and Coming'. I feel confident and happy sending my son in every morning - he absolutely loves the topics the staff plan out for him and the other children! He just loves being around other children and British Orchard Nursery is perfect for him as it is still quite small and personal.

The nursery has U-Turned over the Summer since new management have stepped in and is, in my opinion, thriving. Thoroughly recommend.

Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been enjoying (loving) her time so far at Oxford's British Orchard Nursery. She has been there for just over six months. Whilst there has been the natural change of staff (as is in any employment) but thanks to the great professionalism she has taken to everyone she has been in the care of, which I think is testament to the care and interaction the staff give. Each week there is a new 'theme' that they do activities related to but also just general fun time. I can only say that my daughter goes in with hardly a backwards glance (gutting but good!) and comes out smiling, laughing, and having to say 'bye' to anyone. She then spends the rest of the evening telling me all about what she has done. The staff are friendly and answer any questions. I would not hesitate in recommending this setting. Meals and snacks are routinely changed and the staff ask for things if you have a picky child, they will like. All in all, I am very happy with this nursery.

Review from K P (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I've had the pleasure of watching my 3yo thrive at Oxford's British Orchard Nursery the past year, and it has been a wonderful experience. The staff have been exceptional. They are warm, nurturing, and truly passionate about every child. The environment is welcoming, filled with engaging activities that capture the children's imaginations. My daughter comes home every day with new stories to tell, whether it's about her arts and crafts projects or the fun songs she's learned. It's heartwarming to see her so excited about learning and socialising with her peers. The caregivers are attentive and make an effort to understand each child's unique personality and interests. I can see how much my daughter loves her teachers, and it reassures me that she is in safe and caring hands. Overall, I highly recommend Oxford's British Orchard Nursery to any parents looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child. My daughter is flourishing, and I'm so grateful to have found such a fantastic place for her growth and development!

Overall Experience

I honestly can't praise Oxford's British Orchard Nursery and the team enough, we were nervous having moved our daughter from a nursery where we'd been heavily missold the style of "care". With the love and care of the staff, our daughter settled immediately napping over an hour from day one and eating. We continue to be so happy we found such a loving nursery. The team have developed a warm and enriching environment, keep up the good work.

They are kind and caring with the children and have a very pragmatic and sensible approach. I am never anxious or worried about having my daughter there.

Overall Experience

I'm happy with Oxford's British Orchard Nursery. My kids enjoy their time there. The only problem is that when I or my husband ask for something, like to not allow our kid to be outside with only his t-shirt on a really hot day or not allowing him to play with water as he's taking antibiotics - this is not followed. At the end of the day, he is in wet clothes or lightweight ones.
