My children and I love mansion house nursery. The staff are amazing and so kind, the kids are always doing exciting and creative activities, they spend tons of time outside, even if it's to go puddle hunting in the rain. When they get home they're always well fed, well exercised, and happy. The food is homemade and diverse and the kids have learned good table manners. We get regular updates with adorable anecdotes and photos of the kids during the day as well as daily feedback on their behaviour and activities. I couldn't be more pleased.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The team greatly appreciates your kind comments-they mean a lot to us. Many thanks once again.
The children are offered a fantastic range of activities, including music and sport sessions, and outings to explore Oxford. We have been impressed with the range of meals, and love that the children get involved in preparing food and baking. We cannot speak highly enough of the nursery!

Excellent nursery. I have no hesitation to recommend it, and have complete confidence that they look after my child's wellbeing.
My daughter recently started with mansion house and we have had nothing but positive vibes. They are so attentive towards our daughter. Caring and supportive with her settling in to the room. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. They do so much with the children offering various learning experiences. We are so happy with the nursery so far thank you so much!
Thank you for you wonderful feedback, we are so please that you have had a great settling in experience.
A great nursery with amazing staff and facilities. They offer lots of varied fun and educational activities and a great range of meals and snacks for the children. They have lots outside space and play areas, and are often out on trips.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback, we are so glad that you are happy with the nursery an the staff.
It's a very warm and wonderful nursery. I feel completely at ease knowing my kid is here. The activities offered are also very enriching. We love it here.

Staff really care about the children. Our daughter loves preschool and wants to go every morning. There was a bit of staff turnover but things seem to have stabilised and the team is very dedicated to the children. Nursery management listens and cares about parents feedback.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mansion House - we have one child in the babies' room and one in the preschool and they both really enjoy and benefit from their time at nursery. The staff are all great - attentive, engaging and always going above and beyond to provide a rich and educational experience for the children.

My son started with 8 months in the baby room. It took him a while to fully settle in but the staff were very warm and caring and supporting. This helped him and he soon became very familiar with the team and place. He enjoyed his days at nursery, learned a lot from his time there and interaction with other kids. We are now switching him to the toddlers room and will miss the nice team and his key persons! We are very grateful for all your time and help to make my son happy. Many thanks! I can highly recommend this nursery.

It's very homely. The staff and friendly and provide great updates every day on what my child has been up to such as the things he enjoyed and things he tried.
The staff also regularly update the app which is really reassuring too.
Brilliant nursery. Would recommend to any parent.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us, the team appreciate the positive feedback.
Excellent nursery. Staff in the baby room are very skilled at getting used to being away from Mum. My baby was very attached to me and he wouldn't sleep with anybody else. But two weeks were all that was needed for him to be able to sleep and eat and be comfortable in the baby room.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we are so happy that we are able to provide an environment where your child feels comfortable to sleep.
The staff have been warm, welcoming and supportive from the get-go. My daughter (now 11 months) clearly enjoys being at nursery and the regular updates via the app help reassure me she is being encouraged to play, learn and explore. All her needs are met and the amount she eats suggests top-notch catering! Thanks to everyone at Mansion House, the transition to nursery has been made easy for both my daughter and me.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us, I will pass on your lovely comment to the team!
Great staff and activities. I enjoy hearing about my child's learning stories throughout the week. The menu seems to be extensive and nutritious. It would be nice if there were more opportunities to meet the families of the other children.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We hold regular stay-and-play sessions for parents to meet each other, if you would like more information, please speak with your child's key person.
We are very happy with our experience at Kids Planet Mansion House. There is an amazing diversity of activities suggested to the kids. The professionals are all great at taking care of the kids.
Amazing, provides fantastic support during the day and useful tips/advice when needed. Always polite and thorough with explanations on days, issues, positives and negatives. I love the descriptions included with the learning stories and moments on the app.
All the staff really clearly love the children and really connect and form great relationships with the children. It's really clear that the team work to cultivate creativity in the children and has clear benchmarks and categories to work towards in the children's development. They are great at partnering with parents and working together towards common goals and super happy little ones. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about the team at Mansion House.
My son has attended this nursery since April and has thrived. His development, nutrition, and curiosity has been supported since day one. The care he receives is obvious when he reaches for his key people at the start of the day and his smile when we pick him up. The staff make sure to tell us all about his day, the activities he has chosen to take part in, and anything he seems particularly interested in. They always seem happy to see him and mention the room feeling different when he is not there - showing their attention to all the children in their care. I could not recommend Mansion House enough!
Mansion House has been a fantastic place for my daughter. She has bonded very well with the staff, and they are great at keeping us informed about what's been going on during the day. My daughter is very happy and secure there.
Overall we’re very happy with the nursery. Initial hesitations about him starting so young but within a month of him starting I can see he has settled so well with help from all staff. He always seems to be perfectly happy and partakes in activities. Nursery is still expensive no matter which way you put it but I do believe Mansion House gives value for money.

Meet the Team (1)
I started working in 2012 as a nursery practitioner at one of our sister nurseries. While working there, I progressed my way to room leader. Whilst completing my BA Hons in Early Childhood Studies, I transferred over to Mansion House in 2018. When the nurseries were reopening after the COVID lockdown, I was seconded over to one of our sister nurseries to support, before returning to Mansion House, where I was promoted to Deputy Manager in June 2021.
In 2022, I welcomed my son.
In March 2024, I took on the maternity cover Manager role.
I am passionate about my role as I love to see the enjoyment of a child's face when they achieve a new skill.
