September 15, 2021 at 12:00 amI can only comment about our experience of the babies room because we had to move to a different city after that stage. I honestly cannot think how the experience of taking a young child to nursery could have been better. Our son was always happy to go in, beaming as he came out. We felt we knew the people looking after him well, and that they quickly got to know his quirks, likes, and dislikes very well. Everyone was happy to respond to our queries and our worries, especially at the start. We never once felt patronised for being anxious about anything as parents, from the beginning right through to the end, and the responses we received were warm and clear. There are many excellent nurseries out there, but not many of those will feel like an extension of the family: The Triangle does. (Due to Covid restrictions, we weren’t able to see much of the space itself or the garden; I have ticked ‘Excellent’ for ‘Facilities’ and ‘Resources’ as it didn’t seem fair not to without seeing them!)

November 17, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth of our children have loved their time at The Triangle. The atmosphere for the children is very caring and supportive and feels like a home from home. The staff all know the children very well and are super friendly.
There are always lots of creative activities and we love the garden space and the forest school.

January 28, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been at The Triangle for the last four years. We only have good things to say about the facilities, staff, management and the relationship that they have with us. The carers are amazing, they really go a long way to making sure our child is happy and is experiencing new and exciting things in a structured and encouraging atmosphere. She comes home (begrudgingly) every day telling us of the fun things she did. Little does she know she’s learning a lot!
The staff are all interested in every child. And the children love them. I do not see a preference between key person and child, which gives me the assurance that my child will freely interact with every staff member – even the manager and other carers who rotate through the room covering lunches and breaks. I feel safe dropping my daughter off, knowing a lot about the environment she is going to and the facilities that are provided. The Kids Planet approach to providing resources is second to none.

January 28, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have had both our sons at The Triangle nursery since our oldest started attending child care at age 1. This nursery has such kind staff, good communication with parents, and the children are so happy. The management are always thinking of ways to improve and were incredibly resilient during COVID. We have valued this nursery so highly, we decided to stay with them even after remote working meant it was quite out of our way to keep taking our children there. When we leave in August, both our children will have spent their entire nursery care at just The Triangle. Both were excellently prepared for school, made lasting friendships, and had very good care.

January 28, 2022 at 12:00 amLove this nursery which is (unfortunately) only for staff of the University of Oxford. We can’t recommend it highly enough.
Great location and brilliant facilities indoor and outdoor. Out little one has been at Triangle for 3 years now and we couldn’t be more pleased with the professionalism and passion of the staff who care for our child.
Meals are amazing – we’re so pleased at how nutritious they are and the kids love it!
Activities are well planned to appeal to little people.
The feedback about your child is so helpful knowing what’s going on during their day and helping us to feel calm and confident about their care.

March 16, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are not very helpful for the settling session. They never contact us until we keep chasing them and they finally confirmed a date which is just only seven days before the starting date, and the total settling period would be just three hours.
Something I saw in my one-hour visit that I felt would not be a safe place for baby.
1)Five out of seven babies with running noses/snots on their faces but no staff helped them to wipe their noses. It was just running into their mouth without any attention from the staff.
2)A baby girl managed her teething with a metal toy and hurt herself three times into tears in ten mins. None of the staff noticed that.
3)A baby boy with a running nose was eating the shower puff and his snot was all over the shower puff. No one turned up to help him and take the shower puff away for washing until I reminded them.
4)The wooden toys were all over the floor. I understand that babies love to throw things and make a mess. They will be easily stumbled and injured.

July 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son always loved going to the nursery. He eats and sleeps well and has made friends. I can see that he learned a lot. When we go for walks. I can see that he shares toys with other children. He listens better at home and puts toys and clothes away in their original place. Every week the nursery has a different theme and my son loves discovering and playing, he particularly enjoys the garden.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amFriendly staff that activates the children and challenges them with different topics every week. Encourage outdoor play and creative play. The food is excellent and we get a thorough summary of the daily activities upon pickup.

July 26, 2023 at 12:00 amKind and caring staff. Very adaptive to the individual needs of the children. A good variety of activities was arranged for the children. The transition to the school program has been amazing, with wonderful support for the children and parents! Fabulous leadership from the manager and deputies. My son has attended for the past four years and has always loved it!
