Kids Planet Bradmore Road Day Nursery

Our little one is having a fantastic time at the Bradmore Road Nursery. She has developed a strong attachment to all members of staff in her room. She very much enjoys participating in the varied daily activities (messy play, arts and crafts, regular walks/picnics to the nearby garden...). Seeing that she's having such a good time at daycare has made returning to work much easier for her parents -- thank you!

We are delighted with the care our son has received at Bradmore Road. He started as a baby, and has spent all his nursery years there. We have been so touched by the close bonds he has formed with members of staff, and it is so clear that they genuinely care for him. Once, a transition to a new room was a bit difficult for him, and the staff from his old room (whom he had really bonded with) admitted that they kept sneaking over to the new room to peek through the window to see how he was doing! The staff all seem to know him well, and give detailed accounts of how his day has been. The outdoor space at Bradmore is particularly nice, and we have appreciated how much outside time the children get. The staff member is a favorite of our son's, and he is excited to tell us what they learned that day, from roasting marshmallows to building a hedgehog house. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and Kids Planet Bradmore Road has been our village.

Kids Planet Bradmore Road is an excellent nursery. The staff are well-educated, friendly, caring, and supportive, with a focus on education and play. They organize creative activities for the kids every day, which my daughter very much enjoys (especially the messy play). The food is nutritious and well-liked by my daughter. The staff organize excursions, and the kids also spend a lot of time outside in the garden when the weather allows. I receive daily updates on what my daughter gets up to, and how her learning progresses, every day.

I am extremely grateful for the wonderful experience we've had at Bradmore Road. The manager and her team are friendly, supportive, and approachable. They are always available to answer any questions or concerns that we have. They provide exceptional care and are always looking for ways to improve. I appreciate the team's dedication to developing their careers as they are always looking for new ways to improve their skills and knowledge. The space provided for promoting children's development is exceptional, providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children to learn and grow. They make great use of the space they have available. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor activities available to keep the children engaged and interested, and the team does an excellent job of tailoring activities to different age ranges and the children's interests. My children have enjoyed each day they have spent at Bradmore Road, creating strong bonds with their carers and friends.

Overall, I am satisfied with the nursery and my grandchild is happy there but my only negative comments are: 1. My grandson was given cutlery and asked to be fed on his own on his first day when I specifically said that he never ate alone and I was assured that he will be fed by a staff member; now he does not eat cooked food at all. My second negative comment is the nappies. He wears size 6 but the nursery staff constantly put on him size 8. I did ask them several times to use only size 6 but often I am unheard.

The manager and her team make an excellent group of practitioners at Bradmore Nursery. They are attentive, responsive and the kids enjoy their time with them. I like that there is a variety of activities both indoors and outdoors for our daughter. Udeskole (Outdoor School) is fantastic too and I think the children really enjoy being exposed to these creative ideas and different types of activities through their journey at the nursery. I feel that I can trust the management who are always very professional and do their best to support your requests. Thank you all.

We are so grateful for our son's two and a half years at Bradmore Road. He feels happy, safe and confident there. It has been a very nurturing environment. What I've appreciated most has been how much each key person has looked out for him Thank you so much.

Absolutely fantastic from the very first visit to look around. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful and really care about the kids they look after. Our child's development clearly benefits greatly from his time at Bradmore Road and staff keep us updated with developmental milestones and areas to focus on regularly. Our kid loves heading to nursery in the mornings, it's wonderful to know he's happy and well looked after.

An overall excellent experience with Kids Planet Bradmore Road Nursery in Oxford, from the Babies to the Tots rooms. The nursery is a safe, engaging, and joyful space with caregivers who genuinely care about our child's growth and development. We have witnessed our child's language and gross/fine motor skills skyrocket during their time in nursery and we thank the curriculum and routine they receive in nursery for this vital support. As two working parents, having a reliable space for our child to have diverse activities, social interaction, and nutritious food is a godsend. We understand how incredibly difficult it can be to keep everything spotless (especially during cold/flu season in the winter when our child got sick every month), and the tuition fees for nursery are substantially higher than our home country's comparable nursery programs. This is why we recorded slightly lower ratings for cleanliness and value for money. But overall, nursery activities and staff are highlights!

Lovely lovely staff in toddler and preschool, I know my child is happy there. I am slightly annoyed that every day she comes home dirty and sometimes her clothes soaking wet, but I guess that goes with the territory as they play a lot. She has developed so much since she started, this place is great for her.

We are very happy with this nursery. The children spend a lot of time outside and my child is always happy when I arrive to pick him up. The staff are engaged and cheerful and communicate clearly. There are updates and photos on the nursery app, which we love.

We have really loved Bradmore Road Nursery. In each progressive room (babies, tots, toddlers) that our child has been a part of, he has connected very well with his key person and has always enjoyed and looked forward to going being with his 'friends and teachers' as he says. We have been very pleased with the variety of activities and learning opportunities, as well as the responsiveness of the staff and managers.

Excellent staff. Good caregivers. Small nursery, good class numbers. Lots of one-to-one attention. This nursery is recommended, we tried another sister nursery (in the same company) and it was not at all up to the standard at Bradmore Road.

We have a younger son and we are really hoping he will get a space here too!

My little boy started at the nursery at 9 months and has been incredibly well supported from the start. He took time to settle in and the staff were incredibly patient, understanding and sensitive to his needs. He now loves going to nursery. The staff are friendly and welcoming and there is always someone available to talk to if needed. The nursery indoors is light and open and the outdoor space is fantastic. I am impressed by the range of activities and exploratory play available to the little ones. Finally, the food is also varied and nutritious, which is great.

My little boy joined Bradmore Road at the age of 11 months, in the baby room 2 months ago. The team have been really helpful with his settling, working to help him feel comfortable and secure with his key worker and the remainder of the team. We've seen so much positive progress, but even when he was struggling to settle I felt confident leaving him with the team as they were so obviously supporting him with cuddles and songs and direct care whenever he needed. I would go to pick him up and find him on the lap of one of the team being well looked after. More recently he's actually going into nursery without upset and seems to be really enjoying his time there.

The nursery is clean and welcoming - I've really enjoyed seeing the different exploratory play stations the team set up, with seasonal themes. The menus are great, broad, covering the major food groups in each meal (carb, protein, veg/fruit), and the team have been encouraging weaning and self feeding.

Bradmore Road is a university nursery, and my son has been there for just over 2 years. He started when he was 8 months, and absolutely loves it. We chose it because my husband works for the University, and I honestly do not believe we could have made a better choice for him. The building is purpose built to be a nursery, and the outdoor space is large and spacious, but has lots of toys for the children. All of the staff are very kind and welcoming, and responsive if we have any queries or concerns (not often!). They send out communication at least weekly, and are always available to talk to.

They cater to lots of different diets, and children mix with others from their neighbouring room.

Would very highly recommend! Thanks Bradmore Road!
