My son has been in The Children's Room since he was 10 months old and is now 3.5 and having been in every room at The Children's Room I never have doubted my choice of nursery for him. Nursery settings are all very similar as schools but what makes a difference at the Children's Room is the staff, that
is what truly makes that nursery so exceptional. It is full of love, kindness and understanding. They have taught my son so much more than I could have ever have hoped for at a nursery and watching him grow from strength to strength. The staff are worth their weight in gold and there aren't enough thank yous for them. It's made returning to work full-time so much easier knowing he is happy and safe always. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Reply from Cara Jones, Nursery Manager at The Children's Room Day Nursery Wendover

Thank you so much for the lovely words - we are so glad he enjoys coming to nursery.

I couldn't be happier with the nursery. Amazing teachers and management. The care for the children is excellent. Immediate responses with anything & nothing ever seems like too much trouble. The activities organised for the children, and the constant development and improvements at the nursery show
their constant strive to excel.
The children just had their graduation and it was incredible. Earlier in the term they had an art exhibition which was of a level I didn't know was possible for 3-4 year olds!
The use of natural materials & the children learning about recycling/reusing materials is fantastic, my girl tells me off for throwing away a box as 'we can use it for something else later' etc. They spend a lot of time outdoors & they do wonderful walks around the village, to the pond etc.
To add my daughter is a looked-after child so safeguarding has been a really important issue for me and it's been met with such warmth, reassurance and professionalism.
I couldn't recommend them more.

Our little one has attended The Children's Room for the last three and a half years and I would highly recommend it. He is incredibly happy there and has formed lovely friendships with the other children and staff. The children do a wide range of activities and are outdoors a lot, including exploring
the local area or being outside in the nursery gardens. The nursery keeps you well updated with your child's progress and they also organise a number of family events throughout the year which are lovely to make you feel more involved in their life at nursery.

My son has been at The Children's Room since he was 12 months old and has just now graduated from the nursery ready for school in September. The Children's Room has nurtured and cared for my son and helped him develop and learn both the tools for school (phonics, reading, writing, maths) and tools for
life (dealing with emotions, interacting with others and building relationships, being a part of the wider community). They have a wonderful outdoor space which my son loves and are always doing trips out to nearby wildlife spots, high st, and park which really adds to the week. They also involve the children in the life of the nursery in the older rooms and the children's ideas for improvements are listened to and acted on.
As a parent, the nursery communicates well with us and is responsive to any concerns.
I could not recommend this nursery more highly and my son will be incredibly sad to leave.

Reply from Cara Jones, Nursery Manager at The Children's Room Day Nursery Wendover

We have two children who have been attending The Children's Room for nearly 2 years. They both love it, and have each formed strong bonds with members of staff. We are super impressed at the breadth of activities they get to participate in - our eldest particularly loves the walks to the local market,
shops, and playground. Their learning and creativity is fostered, as well as good behaviour, social skills and self-care. The staff are well aware of the learning focus for each child, and keep us up to date on progress regularly (either through parent's evenings or just catch up at end of day pick up). I'd highly recommend the nursery, and are really pleased we picked it.

My son has been attending The Children’s Room since September 2023 and he has settled in really well. My son has additional care needs and the nursery, in particular his Key Worker, have been a fantastic support both to my son and to us as a family. His Key Worker has worked closely with us to ensure
his needs are being met and that the nursery is providing everything it reasonably can to ensure my son thrives. The regular updates via the app are brilliant and my son has developed a lot since he started attending. The variety of activities with an educational foundation is brilliant and well thought out. It is also great to see the impact the nursery has in the local community, with activities set to encourage thinking about the wider community we live in.

The Children's Room is a wonderful nursery that provides a warm and welcoming home from home atmosphere. Our little boy has been attending since he was 9 months old and we joined last November! Compared to other local nurseries it is hands down the best. Our little boy enjoys a good mix of fun and learning
and particularly benefits from the outside time and space. He is very attached to staff there which proves the care and attention the staff provide. We love The Children's Room Day Nursery!

I couldn’t be happier with the care that my child has received from The Children’s Room Day Nursery, since joining in February. He’s built fantastic relationships with the other children in his room, as well as with all staff members. I can’t speak highly enough of his key worker- she provides him with
the care and love a working parent could only hope someone would give their child and he’s always so excited to see her and the other team members, when I drop him off in the mornings. His confidence has come on in leaps and bounds and the nursery are helping to shape him into the most kind and generous little boy. To say he’s thriving in this environment would be an understatement. We get updates and photos of what he’s been up to that day and if the team have any concerns, they always call us. My only small grumble is that the earliest drop off you can organise is 7:50am but that’s the only negative I can think of and is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Both our children have attended The Children's Room Day Nursery over the last 6 years, our youngest has just left and started school. The care and attention that all the staff show the children is unbelievable. They are so patient, calm, friendly and professional and they have helped both of our children
to thrive. Both have loved going to nursery, their days were full of fun, laughter and cuddles. The nursery helped them grow into very confident, independent young people throughout their time there. We were always kept up to date by the staff and received regular newsletters and photos and the homecooked food was always really varied and nutritious. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

I cannot praise The Children's Room Day Nursery enough! I was nervous to send my children to nursery at first but can honestly say sending them here has been the best decision I've ever made. The care and attention they are given has been unbelievable and the staff are absolutely incredible in every
way. All the children at the nursery are happy and well cared for and receive genuine love and affection from the staff with lots of cuddles and laughter! Everyone knows everyone and we are always greeted with a smile. We receive regular updates and photos throughout the day, and the staff will always call us if needed so I know the kids are safe and well cared for. The activities on offer are outstanding - lots of outdoor play, toys, sports, crafts, baking, reading, and so much learning. My kids are happy here and have so many friends, and my daughter is leaving next week completely ready to go to school - what more could we ask for?

We continue to be so pleased with our choice to send our little girl to The Children's Room. She has been going since she was around 8 months and is now 15 months. The nursery has recently changed hands and only positive changes have been made since. Retention of all the lovely staff and the warm cosy
feel it always had, along with the introduction of modernised rooms, an outdoor classroom and more resources. We get regular updates with photos and videos and my little one is constantly happy when I drop her off and when she is collected. So far, not one tear in those 7 months. She has come on leaps and bounds in her development and we are constantly complimented on her vocabulary and confidence.

The staff at the Children's Room could not have done more to make my child's experience a fantastic one. At every stage, he was nurtured, loved and made to feel special.

I cannot rate the Children's Room highly enough. Both of my children (currently 4 1/2 and 2 1/2) have been fortunate enough to attend since they were one. They have both thrived at this nursery and often ask to go on days off! The staff are so friendly, welcoming and nurturing and both children have
developed strong attachments to a number of the staff. The manager is always accommodating in allowing the children to attend on ad hoc days when I've found myself in need of care. They have put excellent measures in place surrounding the pandemic and to date, there have been no suspected cases involving children or staff - I don't know of any other child care setting where classes haven't had to isolate at some point! My eldest is about to 'graduate' and she couldn't have been better prepared for school. Thank you to everyone who helps run this fantastic nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.496)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.496) out of 10 for The Children's Room Day Nursery Wendover is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.908 for The Children's Room Day Nursery Wendover is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.908

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.588 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Children's Room Day Nursery Wendover is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 85 number of registered child places is 17. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.588

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
