JULIA DURBIN DAY NURSERY REVIEWS
My daughter is now at school but she loved her time here - including all the many creative activities, the care and attention of her key worker and other staff, and the ways in which the nursery connected with home life. The carers always made such an effort to help my daughter settle. A brilliant experience - highly recommended!.
My daughter has been in nursery for more than a year, and she loves it. And Us the parent too! The staff is amazing!!.
My son had a good experience at Julia Durbin Nursery - from the small room to the big brand new lodge, where he had the most wonderful learning and nurturing experiences. Teachers are attentive and caring. The meals are nutritious and balanced. The activities develop the child and help them achieve their potential. Would highly recomend this nursery.

SANDFIELD DAY NURSERY IN OXFORD REVIEWS
Our daughter started in Sandfields in the midst of the Covid pandemic. The nursery went above and beyond in making sure the children were safe and in a happy environment throughout the pandemic. The communication we received was excellent. Our daughter has a wonderful relationship with all the staff. She has also made strong friendship bonds with her peers. All the staff are caring, supportive and nurturing. They give cuddles (which our daughter loves) and genuinely take interest in all of the children. We feel happy with all the love and care our daughter has received. She is now a confident young girl, who is ready to go to reception! - and we have the nursery to thank for this! Highly recommend Sandfields. Thank you for being part of our journey, and our daughter will always remember her time in Sandfields fondly.
Excellent facilities, lovely staff & good food.
Our children absolutely loved attending Sandfield nursery. The staff were always friendly and chatty and knew our children by name within a very short period from when they started (within a week). Everyone seemed kind and caring. Our children were happy and content and had lots of learning experiences from the very start (at seven and nine months old) all the way through until they left (at three and four years old). We are all very sad to say goodbye to everyone at Sandfield.

LITTLE PIONEERS NURSERY & PRE-SCHOOL REVIEWS
The staff are really lovely, our kids have formed strong attachments to all of their keyworkers. We get timely feedback on what they've been up to each day via the parents' app and in person at the end of the day. It's really nice that sometimes they go on little trips to the park next door sometimes too. The atmosphere at the nursery is very warm and friendly.
Our son has had a wonderful experience at this nursery. The staff are so friendly and caring and there’s a really warm atmosphere.
Best thing that’s happened to my daughter. She has really come leap and bounds with both confidence and abilities, always comes home full of joy and excited for her next day.
