THEME:   first words of phrases relate to a nursery
   
GOOD ONES:    
Illicit exam aids {and theme}   CRIBS   
Circus chairman?   TAMER   
Cutting-edge brand?   ATRA   
Place for a date   PALM [palm trees]   
Bond-Bond link?   JAMES ["Bond, James Bond"]   
Beef, or a fish  CARP   
   
   
BTW:   
copycat   APER [raise your hand if you ever saw this word outside a crossword]

Pays heed to   HEARS [to heed is "listen"; hears suggests merely audio reception]   

ENERO is never used in English and PRIE would be all right if it were part of "prie-dieu" and not of a French idiom   
   
   
RATING: ;D ;D   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
