We are passionate about caring for the needs of children and second only to safety our primary concern is to create an environment to nurture the best start in life.

We have a dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable team of staff at both our sites. We constantly ask for your feedback, hopefully one day you will give us a positive review. All 3 and 4-year-olds in England currently receive 15 hours a week government funded early education. If their parents are living and working in England, 3 and 4-year-olds may be entitled to 30 hours funded childcare, which is up to 1,140 hours per year in total!

A truly wonderful nursery! Brilliant staff and facilities. My son has been attending the nursery since January and simply adores it! The staff are so attentive and incredibly invested in his development. I highly recommend this nursery for families in the local Oxford area.

A wonderful nursery close to Summertown in Oxford. My son started here in January 2021 and simply adores it! The staff are wonderful and provide regular updates on his development. He is incredibly happy at the nursery and the space he has to play in the garden is amazing! I highly recommend the nursery for parents with babies and toddlers in the local Oxford area.

Both my kids have been attending the Oxford nursery in summer town for almost a year. They both seem really happy and I have total confidence in leaving them there. They are always greeted with big smiles and I love hearing them talking fondly about the adults. My eldest always calls his key worker 'beautiful' and my youngest chats about her keyworker the whole way home.
I have looked at several other nurseries that are closer to our house but the Oxford nursery seems so much smaller and has more of a family feel than anywhere else I have visited.
The management side of things seems really great

Our daughter started at the Nursery in Summertown in September (aged 9 months, 3 days p/w) and she is very happy and contended there. It took just a few days for her to settle - testament to the warmth and care of the staff that has been unceasing since. She has a great bond with her carers in the baby room and smiles with delight when she arrives… in the morning. We are so appreciative of the wide range of creative activities for the children, and the fact they spend so much time outside; our daughter is stimulated, encouraged, and nurtured, and we get great updates. Thanks to the hard

Our son has been attending Oxford Nursery now for almost a year and our experience has been wonderful. The staff makes you feel like family and they treat your children like so. Our sons main carer is really invested in his development and keeps us updated daily of the activities he partakes in. Since starting here they have updated the baby room with lots of new toys, books, sensory areas, etc. that keep our son busy, learning and interested all day. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone in the Summertown area. You'd be hard pressed to find a more family oriented nursery!

Our daughter started at the Oxford Nursery in September 2020. She had never spent anytime away from us and Coronavirus restrictions meant we were unable to stay with her to help her settle. However, the friendly and welcoming staff made us feel reassured that she would be well looked after. Our daughter loves going to nursery and it has been great… for her development. Staff work hard to plan a wide range of creative activities and provide detailed feedback on how her day has been. We would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a friendly, safe and nurturing childcare setting

My son has been attending The Oxford Nursery since he was 9 months old. As a parent it is everything I look for in offering excellent care, love, attention and now education for my son who is now nearly three years old. The staff are amazing and I know I can totally trust them with the care of my son. We absolutely love the nursery environment and special events celebrated there, it is so inclusive and makes us feel very special and privileged to be a part of the nursery. My son constantly talks about his experiences at nursery, the friends he has made and fondly talks about the staff at home.

Very happy we chose this nursery. The staff are fantastic and really care for the children. They all have fun every day and are doing lots of things such as cooking, arts and crafts and spending time outside in the garden and sand pit. We really like the way children of all ages spend time mixing, moving around and doing joint activities. So much nicer than some of the more rigid segregation of ages we saw in larger nurseries. The harvest festival show for parents to come and watch was great fun.

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 enthusiasim and patience is remarkable. I am always exctied to see what they… have been up to and it is always something that the girls are facinated with - from water play, learning from nature, themed days, cooking, sensory experiences, singing... The team have endless energy and are always accomodating to the parents

My son has been at the Oxford nursery (Chalgrove) since nine months old. The nursery staff have always provided a safe and welcoming environment. He is developing into such a character now two years old he loves going, and is always talking about his day at nursery and who he has played with. Recently with the pirate day he loved telling me about his message in a bottle and showing me his pirate picture.

My daughter has been attending The Oxford Nursery at Summertown for nearly 2 years, the team have done an amazing job with her, and she's always so happy to see her friends and get stuck into the wonderful activities they provide. I would recommend the Summertown nursery to anyone who would listen.

I have a Toddler at this nursery and have been extremely happy with the enthusiasm, support and learning opportunities my child receives. The management team not only provide us a welcoming environment but they also put on amazing social activities for the children and families over the weekends.
I certainly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a secure, safe and happy environment with happy staff and children.

Really happy with the Oxford Nursery. Staff are lovely and have got to know him in a short amount of time. Low staff turnover - he went last summer for a few weeks and came back again this year and got same key worker. The nursery has events such as a summer fete which gives it a community feel. Nursery has a huge sandpit garden and a grass garden too which they love playing in. There is a lot of parking available. Accessible entrance. Overall we are very satisfied with the care this nursery provides.

My son has been attending The Oxford Nursery since September. He goes 2 days a week. We are so impressed and pleased with how he has settled into nursery. He was only ever with family and was unsure to how he would settle. The staff are amazing. They made my son feel so welcome and took the time to get to know him, what he likes and what interested him. Since being there we have seen a big change in his development, especially his speech. The environment is so welcoming and the staff take the time to talk with me about my son. They have many different event for parents to attend and I feel part
