PLAY. EXPLORE. LEARN.

Fundamentals is based in the heart of the market town Bicester, Oxfordshire since December 2017. The nursery itself has been operating for over 28 years. During the last 7 years it has been refurbished to a very high standard and continues to offer a warm, intimate, and caring environment in which your children will thrive.

We are proud of our family teaching approach which enables children of all ages to learn from and support each other, gently helping them to become aware of their place in the world and the wealth of exciting things to learn.

We provide a challenging learning environment where children can thrive with dignity, respect and love and understanding.
