Historically I think Childcare 4U has been a very good nursery. Unfortunately, it seems like since it was taken over and consumed into a larger group of nurseries, standards have dropped substantially to the point now where several parents have handed in their notice not to mention a bunch of staff
leaving in the past few months.
Added to this is their recent 'Requires Improvement' Ofsted rating and something is not right here.
They also informed parents of an increase in fees from September '23 even though a fee increase was done as recently as January. Two increases in 9 months for a nursery that requires improvement is a farce.
Luckily we have since left the nursery as our child started school however the last 12 months at Chilcare 4 U, all external activities stopped, things like forest school, visits to the local model village centre. Parents raised their concerns numerous times however promises were made and nothing materialised. I am not sure management care.
I would not recommend sending your child here.

Reply from Emma Hargrave, Marketing Manager at Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield

Thank you for your review. We do still offer external activities and clubs, but we have temporarily needed to pause our Forest School and visits which we intend to reintroduce. Unfortunately due to growing financial pressures we have also had to make the difficult decision to increase our fees. Although you are no longer at Beaconsfield, the nursery manager or area manager would still be happy to discuss with you.

This nursery is going through a painful transition and at the same time as care is degrading, have raised fees three times in 18 months. Multiple managers leaving through the year and sizeable staff exits following the latest Ofsted report findings. The location is convenient for locals and the facilities
are fine but until this place gets some senior experience back and steadiness I’d avoid. We removed our daughter last month and can’t believe how much her toilet training, behavior and interest in learning have improved elsewhere in less than a month.

We couldn’t recommend Childcare 4 U Day Nursery highly enough. Both my children have loved their time there. My son was there for two years (now at school) and my daughter is now in the pre-school. The staff are absolutely amazing. They are so caring towards the children and seem to really love what
they are doing, they make the kids their first priority. The staff are also so wonderful with parents too, always on hand to answer any questions or provide any feedback or just reassurance. The staff have been wonderful with my daughter and toilet training - I can’t thank them enough for that.
The nursery has dealt with Covid so well and the staff continue to be amazing even in such challenging times. The extra activities such as forest school and walks are great. My daughter loves going into nursery every day and always says what a great day she has had.

My son has been at Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield Day Nursery for over a year now and I could not be happier we chose this nursery for him. He started during the pandemic and the team helped him settle in very quickly. The staff here are very passionate about their job and that shines through the children.
The communication from both the staff and the manager is excellent. I also love the nursery app with all the information about my son's day, development and photos.
Would definitely recommend this nursery!

Absolutely amazing nursery, it’s like one big family, all the members of staff treat my child like their own. My child is so happy here and really going to miss it when she moves to school in September. The duty of care my daughter receives is outstanding, they go above and beyond and there’s no other
nursery I would trust my child to attend.

My little boy has been attending nursery one day per week since January the 21st and my wife and I have seen so many developments! He’s started drinking out of a big boy cup, uses utensils by himself, his vocabulary has improved and my personal favourite is the animal noises he has picked up. He can
do a wolf, snake, tiger, dinosaur, dog, elephant, monkey and bird. The staff are great and clearly teaching him a lot and he seems to look forward to going. I love the updates of how his day is going via the app. In summary, I’d definitely recommend Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield.

We can’t say enough good things about Childcare4uBeaconsfiled. My little boy absolutely loves it there: great set-up, lovely garden, excellent food and every staff member is exceptional. The bond they form with the children is second to none. On pick-up, the level of detail on what they’ve done in the
day and also lovely little personal details about your child, just shows how well they know them and care about them. Just a wonderful place for little ones to spend time and be so well cared for.

My daughter has been at Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield since she was 7 months old. She is now 22 months old. The nursery really feels like a home from home for her. The staff are brilliant and the manager leads a very happy environment there. I always feel listened to, and that my daughter’s key worker
and other teachers are on a team with me in terms of her care and development.
I couldn’t recommend enough.

This was the first nursery we saw for our 12-month-old and we were instantly impressed. Great tour of the nursery from baby room to Pre Prep. This didn’t compare to other nurseries we saw, that are more local to our home. Confident that the nursery holds its ‘outstanding’ accreditation from Ofsted.
Our now 24-month-old absolutely loves nursery, thanks to the daily organised indoor activities, great outdoor play area and caring staff. The introduction of the Famly app makes it easier to contact nursery staff and ask questions, view our child's progress, together with getting an insight into the fun our child is having at the nursery on a regular basis. We have a 2-month-old who we hope will join the nursery at a similar age.

My child is very happy at the pre-school. The staff genuinely care about him and his needs and know exactly where he is at with his development. He loves it there and learns songs and new things that he then tells us about at home. It’s great to know he is safe and happy when at pre-school and being
so well taken care of. Thank you!

Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff and carers for taking such good care of our little boy. He moved into pre-prep recently and has been supported so much throughout his transition. He loves going to school each day, enjoys all the variety of activities and loves playing with all the kids.
He’s always happy and tired at the end of a full day.

Our son has been attending Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield since August 2020, he is in the Pre-School group. Our son enjoys his time at Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield. They provide a wide range of activities indoors and outside which introduces the children to a variety of things that they may not have experienced
before. The staff are always very friendly and provide great feedback. I would recommend Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield to any parent of a pre-school child.

Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has thrived since being there and I am encouraged at how much she has developed and been cared for whilst attending. Staff are proactive, passionate and do fantastic learning and creative activities with the children, all of which you are
updated on regularly via an app by the staff. The manager is flexible, hands-on and personally knows every child that attends which drives a real sense of community for the children and parents that attend. Her staff constantly update on the nursery's progress, your child’s and what they have done on a daily basis with updates and photos. I am really thrilled I chose this nursery for my daughter and would recommend the nursery, manager and her staff to any other parent who is looking for a nursery for their child in the Beaconsfield area.

Both my sons go to this nursery and I couldn't speak more highly of it. The staff are determined to help make your children's settling in and transitions between rooms as stress-free as possible for your children and are really welcoming and honest with you! The food and snacks they provide are healthy
and nutritious which are made by the lovely chef there. The manager is super friendly and knows the children as well as the room practitioners! Would highly recommend.

I have viewed many nurseries over the past few months to try and find the right one for my son who is 20 months old and this nursery is just perfect. I knew straight away he would be in a happy, warm environment. It has that homely feel and is so clean! I have met a few members of staff so far and they
are all so lovely and welcoming. Already my little boy's eating and speech have progressed so much and he always comes home so happy which, to me, tells me he’s having lots of fun. There is an app that the nursery use to update parents of what their child is up to throughout the day with photos, what meals they have had, nap times and nappy changes etc. To be able to log on and see what he’s up to is fantastic. The manager has been my point of contact so far and she has provided a great professional service, nothing is ever too much which I really appreciate so thank you! Thank you also to all the staff for working so hard keeping our children safe during this pandemic.

The manager at the nursery is one of the best hands-on managers I have ever seen in nurseries. They will not hesitate to go above and beyond to settle your child in and ensure that when joining you are made fully comfortable. The staff are friendly, and the nursery is flexible. The nursery is extremely
clean and homely.

We were very impressed when we first visited the nursery with both the facilities and the staff. The staff were very welcoming and clearly are very passionate about working with children. My nephew loves attending this nursery and has made huge developmental progress since joining. We would highly recommend
this nursery. Thank you.

My daughter joined the toddler room of this nursery in July 2020, having attended a previous nursery out of the area. Overall, I cannot fault the nursery - the staff are all fantastic and very helpful; the food is varied and nutritious; and the activities are all centred around fun but also, the child's
development. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, and we have been very impressed to date. My daughter particularly enjoys spending time outdoors and the facilities of the nursery and open plan nature of indoor/outdoor activities have allowed her to partake in the activities she enjoys in a safe and nurturing environment. The staff have been very encouraging and compassionate - my daughter is young in the toddler room and they have made every effort to make her welcome and help her transition to the new environment. This has been in amongst new rules/procedures post-COVID lockdown. Her development has come on immensely since joining. Thank you all at Childcare 4 U!

Our daughter joined the baby room when we moved to the area in 2019, and she settled in straight away. She loves being at nursery and is thriving there, and particularly loves playing in the garden. The staff are great, very supportive and caring and have done a great job since re-opening post-lockdown.
We hope to be starting our youngest at the nursery next year.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.536)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.536) out of 10 for Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.536 for Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.536

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Childcare 4 U Beaconsfield is based on 19 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Hello everyone and welcome to our wonderful nursery. A little bit about myself. I'm passionate about my work and I know how to get the job done. I would describe myself as an open and honest person who doesn't believe in misleading other people and tries to be fair in everything I do. I am proud of our indoor and outdoor environment and our recent 'GOOD' Ofsted rating was a highlight of my time at childcare4u.
