Narrative:
Passing 10;000-11;000 ft on departure out of ZZZ; got the '#1 integrated drive generator low oil pressure' ECAM and generator load shed. I directed the first officer (pilot not flying) to run the ECAM while I flew and communicated with ATC. Checklist directed us to disconnect #1 generator. We completed the checklist and started the APU. Decided most prudent action was to return to ZZZ given the VFR weather and our proximity. Returned for visual approach and landing without incident. Local maintenance came to gate to troubleshoot. Reconnected the #1 generator; filled integrated drive generator oil and did an engine run at gate with no irregularities noted. We elected to take the aircraft after maintenance was complete. Departing ZZZ (second time) passing 3;000 ft; got same ECAM and load schedule. Again ran ECAM checklist and returned to ZZZ without incident.
