As a Nursery Practitioner, you want to be part of the right nursery. One where there are great opportunities to grow, develop, and make a difference while achieving the best possible outcomes for all the children in your care.

Child First Nursery in Bicester promises to be just that! Already we’re rated 9.3 out of 10 by parents on daynurseries.co.uk, with most recent reviews saying things like:

• The standard of care for the children is excellent
• we could not have been happier with the care and support she has had.
• The rooms are clean, thoughtfully managed, and provide constant access to quality outdoor space. We have made good friends there and would recommend the nursery to anyone.
• This nursery is truly exceptional, and the staff are absolutely incredible. Our little one has thrived here for over a year, receiving amazing support and genuinely loving his time at nursery each day. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery; you won't be disappointed.
• her development as a whole improves drastically. All key workers/ room leaders have been amazing - It's very reassuring as a working mum knowing that she is happy and safe at nursery!
• management staff have my full confidence in their running of the nursery. A variety of additional activities and theme days are frequently run, and a great connection formed with parents by running regular drop-in sessions or activities for parents to attend. I have happily recommended the nursery to others and will continue to do so.

we’ll be ready to build a sense of wonder and curiosity for every child. All we need are committed, determined people who share our dream.
