Child First Banbury Nursery

I am so happy with Child First. My two children enjoy nursery very much and integrated very easily when they started. Staff is super committed and are giving the best care and attention. We as parents have a great relationship with them. Also, a big plus are the nutritious home-cooked meals.

My grandchildren went to this nursery; they loved it. Every day was an adventure. My desk at home is covered with all the paintings and treasures they made me at the nursery. I always felt safe leaving them with the staff; who were very professional and kind.

This is an incredible nursery that I couldn’t rate highly enough! The culture and staff are amazing. My daughter is currently at the nursery and LOVES going here and has thrived since she started. My son also went to Child First. He has special needs, epilepsy and was fed via an NG tube and the team at Child First couldn’t have been more accommodating to his needs. They undertook additional training and worked closely with the special needs team to deliver the best care possible for him, often going above and beyond. His key workers/ management got to know him so well and were all so amazing and we couldn’t have hoped to find a better caring and compassionate team to look after him. It goes without saying that we have a special attachment to this wonderful nursery. The staff are caring and engaging. The food is amazing and all sourced locally and prepared onsite by the chef. The structure of the day is brilliant and my daughter loves all the activities, especially the messy play!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Child First Banbury; from the beautiful setting to the passionate and caring members of staff, it really is an exemplary nursery. Both our children have attended Child First and have absolutely loved it. The child-led ethos creates such a wonderful environment for the children to grow – I have truly felt that our children’s interests have been pursued and nurtured. The staff clearly love their jobs and are so welcoming to both children and their families – the team are managed by a team who are so supportive and accommodating to individual needs. The food offered is all made fresh within the house and the menu is always varied and appetising. It’s a huge weight off of our minds knowing that our children have been so happy and well cared for whilst we’ve been at work. It really is a home from home. We’ll miss them all dearly when they outgrow Child First!

Caring, attentive, kind and fun. Just a few words to describe the amazing team at Child First Banbury. My daughter absolutely adores her time here and always comes home full of smiles. The varying daily activities have been amazing for her development. The onsite chef is incredible! She now eats foods that I couldn’t even get near her before!

Since my little boy has attended Child First Banbury Nursery his confidence, social and emotional development have improved significantly.
All staff are welcoming and will go above and beyond to help with any questions you need answering. The nursery is very child-focused and you can sense it from the front door; it is very welcoming and inviting. Child First Banbury is an amazing nursery and goes above and beyond expectations. I wanted to thank all staff for their continued hard work, prior and during Covid19, the level of care has not changed and you can see each member of staff is there to provide love, nurture and comfort to each child that enters the building. It really is a home from home for my little boy and I feel more than comfortable in leaving my little boy in the care of Child First.

Just to give a viewpoint from a lockdown and pandemic nursery start, we started at Child First Banbury Nursery in October last year when my daughter was twelve months old, having grown up as a lockdown baby. Child First Banbury Nursery have been brilliant throughout the whole process, very reassuring and always quick to respond to queries. I was particularly anxious about the settling in process and we made a plan for it together, thankfully it went very smoothly and my little one is so happy going in now. She launches herself from my arms to theirs! I was really considering not using a nursery given the current climate but I am so grateful for the normality, richness of experiences and human contact it gives my little one, especially with no local family to rely on. I particularly love the free-flow child-led approach. The staff are really wonderful, especially given the risk they take everyday by coming to work, they are so cheery and welcoming and I really trust leaving my little one with them.

My daughter absolutely loves it, every morning she wakes up with a smile and is very exited to go to nursery, say hi to the teachers and play with her friends. The food is amazing and my daughter eats a full meal, snacks and tea, she really enjoy it. The outside areas are very big and full of toys to play with, they also do a lot of activities like colouring and making new creations out of paper. They get your little ones to make cards for special days like valentines, mothers day and many more. Your children really get good education and you have nothing to worry about. The staff are really nice, polite and help you with anything that you need. Overall, I really highly recommend this nursery because its a really good source of education and your kids will have lots of fun. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for my daughter, it is very much appreciated.

Whilst we haven’t been able to see our child in the nursery because of the restrictions, we are absolutely certain that she is taken care of the best way possible. She loves the people who take care of her, she is always happy to go and always has a big smile at the end of the day. All of the staff we met are welcoming, reassuring, friendly and very professional. I don’t think there is anything else I could hope for.

Child First Nursery is an exceptional child care setting! The amazing nursery staff are so lovely and friendly. My daughter absolutely loves attending pre school. The food they provide from the wonderful onsite chef is exceptional and has really improved my child’s eating habits. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.
