My daughter loves going to nursery. She's really well settled and has developed a lot since being at Child First. The team there are really lovely and trained well. They look after each child with care and compassion. Teaching each child in a caring and considerate manner. My daughter has learnt a lot at Child First. They go through a variety of activities and learning. Also support with potty training and preparing each child ready for school.

Excellent nursery, supportive and enthusiastic team of staff. Children are (and have always) been happy to attend. They encourage and develop the children well and always listen to any concerns. I always recommend.

My eldest child has just left to go to school and I had no worries about him going. He was given a great foundation for Reception through structured activities and maths and literacy sessions. He had a great bond with his key person and still wants to see them when we do the nursery run with my youngest. I had no hesitations in sending my youngest to start at Child First over a year ago and his social skills and language have gone from strength to strength in his settings. A quick summary at handover gives me an understanding of what has happened in the day and the online portal indicates meals eaten and some observations are often recorded here which is really great to see.

I have only had positive experiences with the staff at Child First Bicester. We've had great support with our two year old who is potty training and dropping her day nap. Daily feedback is spot on and she is almost there after an earlier false start. Our first daughter likes to say hi to the office staff when we pickup her younger sister. I feel it has been a smooth transition with the change of management.

We have had two children go through Child First Bicester and been so happy sending them there. Team are warm and friendly, the children do such wide ranging activities (usual craft, outside play, to dance class and Rugby Tots). My children are very different characters but Child First have nurtured them both brilliantly and we are very pleased we chose this nursery.

Absolutely amazing nursery, the staff are very personable and friendly, and they care for my little one incredibly well, she has a metabolic condition and they have done everything possible to understand it and work with us at home to ensure they get everything right. The chef is incredible and goes above and beyond to cater for all children and even those with specific dietary and medical problems. Their communication is fantastic and we are very happy with the nursery. I wouldn't want my little one being in the care of anyone else now

My son started at Child First in 2020 when covid restrictions were still very high so it was a worrying time sending him to nursery. The staff were amazing and I was instantly reassured that he was in safe hands. He has now worked his way through all of the rooms and he has been happy and settled in all of them. All of the staff are so caring and understanding and take the time to get to know all of the children. They have been quick to respond to any queries I have had and build good relationships with parents as well as the children. My son will be starting school soon and I feel that he has been given such a good foundation for this through the variety of activities and preparation provided by the staff both in learning and socialising skills.

It was very difficult for me to leave my little baby boy at a nursery, and after looking around I felt reassured by the manager of Child First Bicester. The team has been fabulous in answering my questions and emails immediately and in an incredible manner. They have gone beyond and above helping my son. I did dread leaving my son at first with strangers, but can say that I needed not have worried as they have been incredible with my son. His room leader is amazing, and all the staff is friendly and accommodating. My son has definitely bonded with his key worker and every day I receive reports of all his activities as well as healthy and varied food.

I cannot recommend Child First Day Nursery highly enough. When looking around, I felt instantly reassured by the manager - who genuinely cares about the children and their wellbeing. She could not have been more welcoming and knowledgeable and answered my questions and alleviated worries. Since registering, the team have been fabulous, answering emails in an incredibly timely manner. I feel 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 child 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 staff, she is so friendly 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 fun activities, as well as the wonderful/healthy and varied food on offer. The end of week summary emails are also great!

Could not be more pleased with Child First Bicester Day Nursery. The staff are so friendly and communication has been great throughout the Covid pandemic. The activities are well planned and our daughter is constantly learning new skills and social skills. The food provided is really varied and a good introduction to new foods and flavours, which we may not normally have at home.

The staff are what makes this nursery! When looking around for nurseries I was recommended a few but upon meeting the manager and now seeing how the staff are with my child and how he responds to them makes me happy to know he’s in good hands and genuinely cared for. The garden is awesome and they’re always doing lots of great activities each week!

It’s been so hard to leave my daughter at nursery after a year of being with her on maternity leave, but the staff at Child First Day Nursery have been exceptional. They are kind, caring and compassionate in their approach whilst recognising the need to be open and honest in their communication. They always make sure she is distracted just after drop off as she finds this hard and settling in has taken time but I feel like she is making progress in her independence and development. They seem to have varied and exciting food choices and encourage my daughter to try new things. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and am really 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 nursery 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 fun in the rain.

10/10! My daughter started Child First Bicester Day Nursery at 18 months old and settled in beautifully. She enjoys going so much. I know she’s eating well there as they provide great meals for her and she loves the outdoor space where there’s lots to explore. I would recommend this nursery to anyone I know. She learns so much every day and always comes home happy. They provide all her nappies and wipes which is a great plus too. I love that I can leave her there and know she’s in completely safe hands and having lots of fun.

A brilliant nursery with amazing staff! My 3-year-old went for 2 years and looked forward to going every single day! I would highly recommend Child First Bicester to anyone looking for an outstanding nursery for their child.

After viewing several nurseries across Bicester I have been so happy with Child First. The setting is wonderful and they offer early starts and late finishes too. I have been impressed with the excellent activities offered, including baking, music classes which we receive photo updates of my child taking part. The communication 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 very interactive, so much to play with and these are well maintained and constantly updated. Both of my children have attended here and would highly recommend! A big thanks to all the friendly team there!

Leaving your child at nursery for the first time is very emotional. I will always remember the general manager at Child First giving me a massive hug as I was leaving the nursery in tears when I dropped my son off for the first time. But I had nothing to worry about. My first son loved this nursery, and my second son is loving it too. He goes in happy and leaves happy. The food must also be amazing as both my sons have always eaten well there. I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are very caring and supportive... And have fun with the kids!!

The staff are friendly and caring, always have a smile of their faces. My son is always happy leaving us and coming home at the end of the day, the staff make it feel like a home from home. The food is amazing and always cooked fresh.

Both of my children are very happy in nursery! I feel like the staff genuinely care about them which makes me feel confident leaving them behind. My younger one has multiple allergies and everyone has been excellent with keeping him well and safe. I couldn’t ask for more!

I have been thrilled with the care my daughter has received since joining Child First. Every member of staff is caring, kind and professional and my daughter is so happy at the nursery. Communication is excellent and the daily information pages are informative and a lovely way to find out about what the children are up to. I am so pleased we chose this nursery for our daughter and would highly recommend it.

Both my children have been here and my youngest is off to school. The nursery have prepared the children so well and loved and looked after them brilliantly. I will miss being part of the nursery and would recommend to anyone!
