Leading Childcare Provider in Bicester
At Child First Bicester, we offer childcare services Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, with the flexibility of early drop-offs starting at 7:30am and late pick-ups until 6:30pm. Families can choose from AM, PM, or full-day sessions, with a minimum of two sessions required. We accept 30-hour and 15-hour government funding, as well as tax-free childcare, and provide sibling and NHS staff discounts. Conveniently located near a train station, park, forest area, and nature reserve, our setting provides a “home away from home” atmosphere, using natural resources to create a warm and friendly environment. While we no longer have rabbits at the setting, we remain committed to fostering a love of nature and the outdoors. Our long-standing team and management are dedicated to providing exceptional care.

Our Rooms

Our rooms are tailored to different age groups, including Ladybirds for non-mobile babies, Bumblebees for mobile under-twos, Caterpillars for 2-3s, and Butterflies for 3-5s. Each room features age-appropriate resources, natural materials, and its own outdoor space, ensuring a nurturing and engaging environment. Parents love that non-mobile babies have their own dedicated area.

Activities

Our activities, included in the fees, offer enriching experiences such as rugby coaching for preschoolers, dance classes for all ages, and visits from care home residents who share stories with the children. We also provide opportunities for children to learn about and care for African land snails, fostering curiosity and connection with nature.

Meals & Snacks

We provide nutritious, home-cooked meals prepared on-site by our nursery chef and assistant, including breakfast, two snacks, lunch, and high tea. Preschoolers enjoy self-service to promote independence, and children can participate in fun cooking activities with the chef.

Outdoor Area

Our outdoor area offers a variety of engaging features, including a mud kitchen with natural resources, a vegetable plot for gardening, and a dedicated “Dragons’ Den” for activities. Children can enjoy the sandpit, water and messy play, as well as a racetrack for bikes and trikes, promoting exploration and active play.
