Oxford Nursery is fabulous!! I have 2 little girls (2 and 10 months) and they always come home from nursery very happy, which is the best indicator of how well a nursery is doing. The staff are brill and are constantly thinking of creative ways to teach the children. Their enthusiasms and patience is remarkable. I am always excited to see what they have been up to and it is always something that the girls are fascinated with - from water play, learning from nature, themed days, cooking, sensory experiences, singing... The team have endless energy and are always accommodating to the parents and of course the children's needs! I could go on but you get the idea!

Our son absolutely loves this nursery. And so do we. He joined at a year old and in 6 months his speech, motor and role play skills have excelled. I know he loves the team (because he talks about them all the time), particularly Michelle, Joe and Kerry who have made what is quite a hard transition (for both parent and baby) a breeze. They are always on hand for questions, reassurance and advice. It’s a homely environment and I highly recommend. Thank you Oxford Nursery Eynsham team!
Ms S
Our child is very happy here. Compared to my experience with other nurseries, the staff turnover is low, so we enjoy relationships with carers who know our child well. Our child is able to mix with children in different age groups and she loves helping younger children. I completely trust Amber, Bernadette, and Sherri with her care. They are very experienced and skilled practitioners, each week our child surprises us with what she is learning! The play is well designed and creative. I also trust Kerry, the nursery manager, and her leadership. And let's not forget the lady who creates lunch - our daughter loves her cooking!

My daughter is always so happy to go to nursery, she loves it. All of the staff are fantastic; friendly and professional and fun. Emma and Sherry have a wonderful bond with my daughter. They are always doing a variety of creative activities and hosting seasonal events. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Ms R
Our son has been attending for six months now, and it has been such a wonderful experience. I was initially anxious about how his allergies would be managed, but the staff have been incredible—attentive, caring, and genuinely enthusiastic every single day. It’s clear they love what they do. Seeing him thrive through their creative weekly activities and cultural celebrations has been a joy. His progress is a direct reflection of their dedication, and we couldn't be happier.
Miss S
We absolutely adore this place. Our three year old boy is thriving in this small but warm environment. He has taken a particular shine to Bernadette and Sherry who are so kind and sweet with him, with plenty of time for cuddles and stickers to encourage his participation. Putting him into this setting has paid off massively as he is more social and confident than ever before. We particularly love that there are always lots of activities for us to get involved with, and that they do trips out to the park, museum and theatre. Through the app we have daily updates on his food and activities, and the weekly reviews keep us involved with what he is learning which helps us to talk about his day with him at home. We have been thrilled with everything from day one and can’t thank the team there enough.

Exceptional place. My heart was so happy knowing that in the difficult time of having to leave my baby, he was with such caring souls. This whole nursery is warm and welcoming and creates a loving environment for babies and children. I will most definitely always speak of this place with the highest regard and utmost love and respect. Thank you for looking after my baby so compassionately.

My son has been attending the Oxford Nursery, Summertown since he was 6 months old. It is a wonderful, warm and friendly place, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. My son is very happy there, and has developed strong bonds with his carers in the baby room. The staff really care for the children, and take a genuine interest in their well-being. Communication is excellent. There is always a wide range of activities on offer, and lots of outdoor play. My son has made excellent progress with his development during his time at the nursery, and I feel very lucky to have found such a nurturing environment for him.
