Review from Ruby B (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of my four children went to Oxford Day Nursery. The first one attended in 2012 and the last one attended in 2025.
My experience at this Nursery has been extremely pleasant. Staff are professional, personable and also very caring towards the children. I have found Teresa the team leader of the
Nursery who has been there since I came across the Nursery in 2012 to be a genuine asset and makes the Nursery and pleasant place for all.
The nursery is clean and well organised and I was always updated with the progress of my child attending at the time.
I would highly recommend this Nursery.

A nursery which focuses on children's personal growth and development.
My child went to this wonderful nursery for 18 months.
Nursery's interior is amazing which attracts every child - Safe, clean and tidy ,organised.
I can't thank enough to the Nursery staff as they build confidence, independence,
personal growth in my child. My child have started initiating conversation with other people, more confident.
The child was speech delayed too, and the manager Lorraine have supported more than anyone.
The child started making decisions, doing his things independently, getting dressed and going to toilet.
Nursery creates a safe environment, focuses on every tiny things, they do a lot of learning activities
I recommend this nursery to every parent.

Oxford day nursery is a fantastic nursery full of wonderful staff and management! My second child has been attending since last year. They are very accommodating, very supportive and very friendly. They were able to offer me the timings I needed as I'm a working mum. My older son graduated in 2019 and
second one will graduate in 2026. All very sweet and supportive ladies. I would recommend them every single time!!
With both boys they helped me to potty train as well! Very very supportive team! Thank you Ladies!!

We've had a truly wonderful experience with this day nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly helpful, supportive, and genuinely caring. They've played such an important role in my son's development - not only has he grown in confidence and independence, but he was also successfully
potty trained with their gentle guidance and encouragement.


The love and care they show every child is exceptional. It's clear they treat each child as an individual, and they've gone above and beyond to make sure my son feels safe, happy, and valued. I can't thank them enough for all they've done for our family. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and professional nursery!

My daughter has finished her first year at Oxford Day Nursery and I would like to say she made so much progress with her learning, speaking in English, social and emotional and also she enjoyed all the different activities there. The staff are lovely, caring and professional, always communicating very
well with the parents and they all work very hard to ensure all individual needs of each child are met at a high standard. My son and my niece went to this nursery as well and I would recommend it without hesitation. Thank you so much, Oxford Day Nursery!

This is the best nursery in East London. The staff are the most amazing people and the manager who has been running the nursery for years is the loveliest person you will come across. Two of the staff have helped my daughter become so confident. They host an amazing graduation party at the end. I would
recommend this nursery to any parent. The staff are so experienced, loving and caring. Please have no worries for your child when sending them here, they are cared for by loving mothers. My daughter was here for 2 years, and soon my second daughter will join too. Thanks for all your work Oxford Day Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Oxford Day Nursery since Sept 2023. It came highly recommended through my sister-in-law, and I am so pleased I sent my son to this particular nursery. In fact, there were a few closer nurseries to me, but I have to say it was the best choice for my son. He has excelled in
many skills and came back happy every single day. He recently had the cutest graduation ceremony held by the nursery, and the staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable day for the children and the parents who attended! Staff are amazingly friendly, cheerful and understanding of all situations! I will definitely be sending my daughter next year when she comes of age!

Our son has attended this nursery since September 2022, the staff are so polite and always communicate well with parents. He initially found it difficult to settle and the nursery were so flexible in supporting his transition. We are able to see how comfortable and happy he is when he goes to nursery!

I would like to thank all the staff who go above and beyond and always help and instruct, and the boys have loved going to the nursery this year. The staff always make sure to document everything that goes on and ensure as a parent, we are aware of anything that happens during the day relating to my
children.

Review from Ausra L (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a truly wonderful nursery. My little one always comes out with a big smile and talks about everything at home. The staff is always very nice and caring; my son loves everyone there. Communication with the management/key person has always been easy.
My son has become more confident and independent;
it's his last year here, and it makes me sad.
The atmosphere is lovely, with lots of activities, including a clean and dry garden with a roof over their heads. Which means they still can get fresh air even if it's raining outside.
I love that the nursery is located next to the park, and it's off the main road and also at the end of the road, so less traffic and can park the car for drop off/pick up.
I can't recommend Oxford Day Nursery enough - the staff, location, child development and care are top quality.
Thank you all so much for this great experience!
Happy Mama.

My child has attended Oxford Day Nursery since May 2020. She has developed into a confident and happy child, and eagerly looks forward to going to nursery. Many thanks to my child’s key worker and all the staff at Oxford Day Nursery for contributing to my child’s overall development. Oxford Day Nursery
has a welcoming and enthusiastic approach and has created an enjoyable yet educational environment for the children. The staff are approachable and friendly, and the nursery is very clean. My eldest child also went to the nursery for two years and I cannot recommend them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is really sad that my son is leaving this wonderful place where he received incredible support and learnt to do a lot of things. I can say now that he feels absolutely confident about being at a nursery and interacting with other children. It was difficult for him at the beginning because English
is not his first language. I can't thank enough all the staff of the nursery for being kind and supportive to him, they really did their best and he started to speak English! The atmosphere at the nursery is absolutely amazing, all the staff (especially my son's Key person) are very friendly, kind and attentive to children. I would like to say a big big thank you from all my heart for my child having been able to spend happy hours at this nursery, making new friends and developing his skills.

My eldest child attended Oxford Day Nursery since he was 2.5 and now my 3-year-old is also attending.
I could not praise the amazing staff and leadership at Oxford Day Nursery enough. They have supported both my children settle, engage and develop in all their early year's goals. The staff are, warm,
friendly and informative. They have above and beyond to cater for both my children’s needs and my difficult working hours.
The setting always looks lovely and presentable, thus teaching our children how to care for their environment. From my visit pre-Covid, I witnessed a range of exciting books and activities that my eldest child still talks about!
Oxford Day Nursery have made the first years of my children’s education a beautiful and unforgettable memory. Thank you so much!

My son started the nursery at 2.5-years-old, and it has been amazing to see his development at Oxford Day Nursery. He is confident, excellent at communication and very happy; he really is thriving - thank you to his wonderful key person for her amazing care and attention. Also, to two other members
of staff. The staff are what makes this nursery so great - they are professional, kind and always have a smile on their face when greeting the children and parents. It’s a joy bringing my son to nursery every morning; he always leaves with a smile on his face when I pick him up!

We are so sad our twin's journey at Oxford Day Nursery is coming to an end. The twins have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery and gained so much more confidence and character. Thank you for helping their little personalities develop. I am really pleased with the service the staff offered.
Each and every staff member is so welcoming, friendly and makes the children and parents instantly feel at ease.


The nursery is also very clean and very well kept. There are lots of activities for the children to do with indoor and outdoor space for them.


Overall, as parents, we are very pleased with the nursery and so happy our children had the opportunity to go to a wonderful nursery. I am certain they will remember this place with fond memories.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.834) out of 10 for Oxford Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.934 for Oxford Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.934
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oxford Day Nursery is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
