Canopy Bicester – where nurturing early years begin

At Canopy Bicester, we’re creating a beautiful new nursery designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Located in the heart of the Blue Diamond Garden Centre, our thoughtfully designed environment will encourage children aged 0–5 to explore, take risks, and express themselves freely in a nurturing space where every child is seen, heard, and celebrated.

For families seeking trusted childcare in Bicester, Canopy will offer immersive learning experiences, meaningful relationships, and inspiring spaces designed to support every stage of early development.

Events

Join us at one of our upcoming information events for Canopy Bicester, a chance to discover what makes our approach to early years so special. You’ll learn more about our child first ethos, explore plans for the beautiful new nursery, and meet some of the team bringing the space to life.

These events will take place in the main atrium of Blue Diamond Garden Centre, as the nursery itself is currently under construction on site.

There will be time to ask questions, connect with the team, and get a real feel for what Canopy Bicester will offer your family.

Spaces are limited, so we recommend booking in advance to secure your place.

    Canopy Code

    Canopy Code is the curriculum we embrace in every canopy Nursery. Put simply, its the skills and behaviours we want children to learn to make them equipped and ready for their next steps. We want our children to be curious explorers, confident communicators, independent learners and inquisitive thinkers. With these skills firmly embedded, they will be fully equipped and ready for the next step into ‘big school’.

    Canopy Cares

    Canopy Cares sits alongside the Canopy Code to purposefully cultivate a culture of sustainability and appreciation for the living world. Quite simply, our ethos is caring for each other and the world we live in. We teach children tolerance, respect, and kindness along with a sense of understanding and responsibility for our beautiful planet.

    Children are actively involved in caring for the environment and our nurseries have eco committees to help children think about their impact on the natural world.

    Funding & Fees

    We are committed to providing high-quality childcare that is flexible, transparent, and affordable for families. Our fees are carefully structured to reflect the exceptional standard of care, enriching learning opportunities, and nurturing environment we provide for every child.

    We accept government-funded childcare for eligible children from 9 months old, supporting families to access early education while helping to manage childcare costs. 

    An additional services fee applies to cover items such as freshly prepared meals, nutritious snacks, and specialist activity providers who enhance our curriculum and experiences for children.

    We want to ensure that families have access to trusted, up-to-date guidance on supporting their child’s early development so we direct parents to the Government’s Best Start in Life website which provides valuable information, advice and resources:
