Overall a lovely nursery, has improved after last year with members of staff leaving, but they seem to be back on there feet & my child loves preschool. She is always excited to tell me about her day & activities she has done.

Child First have provided a great level of childcare for both our children. The last year has been more challenging for them, with a lot of staff changes, but this has settled and they continue to provide an excellent environment, especially in the pre-school. Many thanks to all the pre-school
staff, who have exceptionally big shoes to fill!

Both of my girls have flourished in the care of Child First Banbury. Their development has exceeded our expectations and I can't wait to see what they turn into. Maddy & Laura are caring, creative and brilliant key workers to our kids and we can't imagine them anywhere else.

My daughter has attended Child First since she was one and she has thrived. I have been amazed by how much she has learned from developing her speech, learning about the world and increasing her confidence. She has loved being in bluebells & sweetpeas, playing with Jennifer & Maddie, especially
singing along and most days giving my daughter Disney hairstyles. All workers have been fantastic and caring and I can't wait to see how my daughter progresses as she joins preschool.

We've actually had over 4 years with Child First across both our kids but most recently with our youngest. We love the nursery, both of our boys have been sohappy here in their time (and we were so sad when it came time for our eldest to leave). The staff are so caring (genuinely) and we've always
felt our boys were being well looked after.

Our daughter has learned so many skills in sweetpeas and we have seen such a leap in her counting skills, her social skills and ability to read and write. She looks forward every day to seeing her friends and tells us such wonderful tales each day of all the activities she got up to. We know she is
well cared for by staff because she tells us how well Maddy cares for her, how fun Jennifer is to play with.

Maddie and her team care deeply for the children and have tireless enthusiasm looking after them. Both of my sons have really valued having the Child First team as an extension of their family & their first steps towards education.

Really supportive key worker always looking at fun ways to develop and explore. Noticed a real improvement to handovers, all the relevant information provided without needing to take a long time at the end of the day. Had more photos and observations of activities through the day. Would always take
more if possible! Overall really good and noticed personalities of children allowed to come through and be themselves.

Isaac always loves coming into Sweetpeas in the mornings. He is happy here and the staff are always caring and attentive.

Really positive experience since being here. My childs development socially has come on leaps & bounds, before coming here she struggled with separation & trusting adults; since being here she has changed & is much less anxious, we owe it to the work & socialisation with staff & other children.

All the staff are very friendly and helpful, we are very happy with how much our son is learning.

My experience is excellent. Austin is always so happy to be here and this is the most important. All staff is so kind and warm and helpful. Learning and care is on the very high level. I love that the rooms are so big and Austin has space to do so many activities. Austin never said that he doesn't
like to be here and this tells me it is just perfect place for him.

My son has been since he turned one and I've always been impressed by the warm, welcoming environment and kind staff. They put on lots of activities and I know he loves the food!
11 March 2026
Austins time in Sweetpeas has been brilliant. He is excited to go in every morning and loves showing off the things he has made during the day in arts and crafts. He has made some really good friends during his time at the nursery and is looking forward to seeing some old ones when he moves to
pre-school!
