October 2, 2024 at 3:06 amThe team are incredible and care so much for the kids they look after. They are smiley and welcoming which is remarkable, even more so at the moment! The kids have access to lots of various activities throughout the day both inside and outside. They have a chef on-site who cooks the most delicious food! The menu looks incredible and it is adapted for summer and winter. The management team are incredible and truly accommodating. 10/10 for the team. Nothing but praise for Kid First Bicester.

October 15, 2024 at 3:39 pmI sense like the team genuinely care about them which makes me sense confident leaving them behind. My younger one has multiple allergies and everyone has been outstanding with keeping him well and secure. I couldn’t ask for more! Both of my kids are highly cheerful in childcare centre!

November 11, 2024 at 6:37 amThey have both thrived in their care, they are both so cheerful when they arrive. I also highly much appreciate the daily information sheets which keep us informed of the activities the kids have been doing during the day. I highly suggest Kid First. I have two kids attending this childcare centre and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they have received.

November 12, 2024 at 6:40 amThe team are exceptional, not only showing outstanding care in highly challenging circumstances with Covid risk and measures, but are bringing out the best in our kids to give them a excellent early years foundation before they go into school. The childcare centre is managed exceptionally well, with excellent systems and updates in place to make everything tick. Both of my sons attend Kid First Bicester and they (and we!) absolutely adore it.

November 18, 2024 at 4:15 amWhen looking around for nurseries I was recommended a few but upon meeting the manager and now seeing how the team are with my kid and how he responds to them makes me cheerful to know he’s in great hands and genuinely cared for.
The garden is terrific and they’re consistently doing lots of excellent activities each week! The team are what makes this childcare centre!

December 2, 2024 at 12:21 pmThe team are highly welcoming, supportive and expert. I know I made the right decision to choose Kid First. I cannot suggest Kid First highly enough. Thank you to all of you! My son loves attending every day.

December 13, 2024 at 10:01 pmI will consistently remember the general manager at Kid First giving me a massive hug as I was leaving the childcare centre in tears when I dropped my son off for the first time. But I had nothing to worry about. My first son loved this childcare centre, and my second son is loving it too. He goes in cheerful and leaves cheerful. The food must also be incredible as both my sons have consistently eaten well there. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. The team are highly attentive and supportive… And have enjoyable with the kids!! Leaving your kid at childcare centre for the first time is highly emotional.

December 15, 2024 at 9:25 amEvery member of team is attentive, compassionate and expert and my daughter is so cheerful at the childcare centre. Updates is outstanding and the daily information pages are informative and a lovely way to find out about what the kids are up to. I am so pleased we chose this childcare centre for our daughter and would highly suggest it. I have been thrilled with the care my daughter has received since joining Kid First.

January 1, 2025 at 7:25 amThe team are so welcoming and updates has been excellent throughout the Covid pandemic. The activities are well planned and our daughter is constantly discovering new skills and social skills. The food provided is truly varied and a great introduction to new foods and flavours, which we may not normally have at home. Could not be more pleased with Kid First Bicester Day Childcare centre.

January 5, 2025 at 7:45 pmThey are compassionate, attentive and compassionate in their approach whilst recognising the need to be open and honest in their updates. They consistently make sure she is distracted just after drop off as she finds this hard and settling in has taken time but I sense like she is making development in her independence and development. They seem to have varied and exciting food choices and encourage my daughter to try new things. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough and am truly glad I went with my gut instinct when selecting it. My only slight negative is that the car park is currently closed due to Covid and we chose this childcare centre as it had parking for drop off and pick up. Although there is parking close by this adds time to the process and I’m sure will not be particularly enjoyable in the rain. It’s been so hard to leave my daughter at childcare centre after a year of being with her on maternity leave, but the team at Kid First Day Childcare centre have been exceptional.

February 11, 2025 at 1:54 amShe could not have been more welcoming and well‑informed and answered my questions and alleviated worries. Since registering, the team have been fabulous, answering emails in an incredibly timely manner. I sense they have gone above and beyond to help make arrangements for my daughter starting.
This week has been settling-in sessions and like most parents I have been dreading the thought of leaving my kid with a stranger, knowing she may cry. I need not have worried. Her room leader met us on the first day, and like all the team, she is so welcoming and accomodating to all of my requests. My daughter has bonded with a fabulous key worker and every day I have been receiving reports on all the enjoyable activities, as well as the fantastic/healthy and varied food on offer. The end of week summary emails are also excellent! I cannot suggest Kid First Day Childcare centre highly enough.
When looking around, I felt instantly reassured by the manager – who genuinely cares about the kids and their wellbeing.

February 28, 2025 at 7:01 pmOur son, who is 3.5 years old, started back in November, right in the thick of Covid, and he was welcomed with open arms. The moment we met the childcare centre manager for our tour, we knew that this was a special place and wanted our son to be there. The team took a excellent deal of time getting to know my son and “what makes him tick” and have been able to greatly help as he goes through his toddler phase. We have been beyond thrilled with the daily activities, projects and fabulous meals that he enjoys. My husband consistently remarks how he wishes the chef at Kid First could cook for our family too! When I recently gave birth to my daughter, there was no other place that we wanted her to be than Kid First when I had to return to work. Our journey at Kid First has been absolutely fantastic.

March 2, 2025 at 4:46 pmMy daughter started Kid First Bicester Day Childcare centre at 18 months old and settled in beautifully. She enjoys going so much. I know she’s eating well there as they provide excellent meals for her and she loves the outdoor space where there’s lots to explore. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone I know. She learns so much every day and consistently comes home cheerful. They provide all her nappies and wipes which is a excellent plus too.
I adore that I can leave her there and know she’s in completely secure hands and having lots of enjoyable. 10/10!

March 20, 2025 at 1:36 amNow my son is a lot better with communicating his needs with us.
I highly suggest the childcare centre, they have been remarkable in reacting to Covid 19 and keeping parents well informed through updates updates. My son has been coming to Kid First Bicester for over a year now, when he started he had poor updates skills and the team have been outstanding working alongside him.
Marley Griffin
March 31, 2025 at 11:10 amThe setting is fantastic and they offer early starts and late finishes too.
I have been impressed with the outstanding activities offered, including baking, music classes which we receive photo updates of my kid taking part.
The updates is outstanding, with a high level of care and attention to any questions/concerns I’ve had and we receive detailed weekly updates in addition to daily updates of what the room has done and anything upcoming.
The rooms and garden areas are highly interactive, so much to playtime with and these are well maintained and constantly updated. Both of my kids have attended here and would highly suggest!
A big thanks to all the welcoming team there! After viewing several nurseries across Bicester I have been so cheerful with Kid First.

April 7, 2025 at 9:40 amThe childcare centre have prepared the kids so well and loved and looked after them brilliantly. I will miss being part of the childcare centre and would suggest to anyone! Both my kids have been here and my youngest is off to school.

April 9, 2025 at 5:42 pmMy son is consistently cheerful leaving us and coming home at the end of the day, the team make it sense like a home from home. The food is incredible and consistently cooked fresh. The team are welcoming and attentive, consistently have a smile of their faces.
Skyler Quinn
April 26, 2025 at 1:58 amMy son loves it and has made some incredible friends, in both other kids and the team. He loves the girls that look after him and consistently speaks highly of everything.
Kid First and all the team are incredible, exceptionally supportive and nothing is too much. As a mum I want to know my kid is cheerful and well looked after and Kid First offer this to a high standard. They treat every kid as an individual.
I adore hearing my son tell me what he has learnt and how much enjoyable he has had. Just what a mother wants to hear.
We will be sad to move on to primary school.
Highly recommended, you wouldn’t regret the decision to place your kid here. My son has been at Kid First Bicester for 18 months and although we have had challenges with Covid the pre-school have been informative and the service has been to a highly high standard.

May 21, 2025 at 1:17 pmMy 3-year-old went for 2 years and looked forward to going every single day! I would highly suggest Kid First Bicester to anyone looking for an outstanding childcare centre for their kid. A exceptional childcare centre with incredible team!
Morgan Pierce
June 23, 2025 at 6:23 pmThey have truly helped my son to settle, he loves everything about the place. From the positive, welcoming team to the healthy, home-cooked, fresh food cooked on site. Nothing is too much trouble for them, a excellent team that consistently go the extra mile for the kids and their families. Such an incredible childcare centre.
