Childcare4U Marlow is a private day care nursery located in Marlow town center, ideally situated for local residents and commuters into London.

The beautiful converted house and garden were refurbished in 2018 to create a warm, unique and stimulating learning experience for all children.

The nursery is open full-time from 7:30am – 6:30pm, caring for children from 3 months to 5 years.

Childcare4U's philosophy is that every child they care for deserves a calm, caring, safe and stimulating environment in which to learn.

At Childcare4U, the team works with parents to ensure children develop socially, intellectually, culturally, physically and emotionally in a caring and secure environment.

Staff encourage parent’s contribution to their child’s learning and work closely with them to gather information about their child’s learning at home.

The nursery offers children nutritionally-balanced, home-cooked meals, designed and reviewed by the Nursery chef and a Paediatric Dietician to meet the needs of each age range. The Nursery was awarded the Soil Association Food for Life Bronze Award in 2019.

The nursery also offers extra-curricular activities for all children which include wake up and shake up, Makaton sessions, French lessons for Pre-School children, a cookery station which incorporates many aspects of the curriculum, community visits which allow children to experience social activities outside the nursery setting, a range of bespoke activities which promote your child’s well-being and confidence.

As a parent, leaving your child in the care of others can be hard but I feel so happy knowing my children are in safe capable hands. They always have a fun packed day full of activities.
Both my children absolutely love coming to nursery and I can see how much their self-confidence has grown since
they started. They are both so eager to learn and even come home teaching/showing me what they have been doing that day.
All the staff are so friendly and supportive and really make the effort to build strong bonds with all the children there.


My daughter started school this September and she's gone from being so shy to being able to start school confidently and happy. Her school commented how well she's doing with all her writing and with how much she already knew thanks to nursery.
As a working mum, I can't always get the time to sit down with them and do fun and exciting stuff or help them further their learning so knowing that they are getting that support at nursery is amazing.

All 3 of our children have attended Childcare 4 U Marlow and have loved it.


We are so impressed with the staff and organisation of the nursery. They are fantastic at stimulating the children and we think the activities they do are very creative and help the children to develop in all aspects.


The

meals are enjoyed as well, with seconds often requested.


We feel Childcare 4 U has been instrumental in bringing our 3 children up with creative, inquisitive minds as well as good social behaviours and we are very grateful. Thank you.

Our decision to put both our daughters into Childcare4u from 6 months is a testament to the excellent childcare they offer. They love all the well thought through activities. We have seen them develop every day through the love, care, encouragement and dedication of the staff into happy, confident little
people.


The menus are approved by a nutritionist and cooked on the premises by a chef. My daughter always talks about what yummy food they eat and what they made with their chef.


My oldest child went off to school in September and after completing her first week at school she was given 'Star of the Week' for being kind and caring and being an excellent helper as well as settling in so well. This shows the excellent job they do preparing the children for school. The school couldn't have been more complimentary on how school ready our child was.


They get more variation and stimulation from day to day than I would ever be able to provide at home.

We have been parents at Childcare4U for nearly 3 years now and we have a child in the Pre-school and in Baby Room. They are trained to do baby massage which my daughter loves and my son participates in French lessons as well as Pilates and fitness groups. I couldn't recommend them enough!


Our children

are extremely happy and have so much fun with the ladies who work there. To be able to go to work knowing they are safe, well cared for and continually developing due to the constant attention and love from the staff is priceless! As a family, we adore their family fun day every summer where they have races and activities back at nursery. Their brand new garden is fantastic!


They always endeavour to help out with any extra days we may need due to work commitments, nothing seems to be too much trouble. All in all a safe learning environment that you can count on!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Childcare 4 U Marlow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.833 for Childcare 4 U Marlow is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 Marlow is based on 13 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 13 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.
