Field House is a fantastic nursery. Both my children have been attending for a month now and they are both thriving in their environments. My daughter is so excited for her first trip with her friends of the Pumpkin Patch. It's such a lovely experience to enjoy with her peers.
The staff are very friendly
and welcoming and have made going back to work and leaving my children so easy as the nursery has such an inviting homely environment.

All the way through my daughter's transition to school the staff have been nothing but outstanding. They have helped us go from tears and tantrums to smiles and excitement. I feel nothing but gratitude and appreciation for all the amazing hardworking, loving and caring Field House family.

My son started his journey at nursery when he was 8 months old and we are so unbelievably proud of everything he has accomplished already from being at Field House. We are completely blessed to have had such amazing role models in the nursery. So just to say, thank you to all the staff at Field House
for being completely and utterly amazing in every sense of the word. You will never ever know how grateful we are to have had every single staff member completely dote on our boy over the last four years. He has made amazing memories and amazing friends.

It was wonderful to see so many fabulous interactions made by the staff at Field House towards my granddaughter at the annual open day on Saturday. The environment was engaging, detailed and colourful creating a positive impact on my granddaughter's development. What an amazing nursery with so many
dedicated hard working and loving staff members no better care available.

-Super friendly staff who are knowledgeable, fun, supportive, relaxed and intelligent.
-Packed learning-based activities scheduled each day with plenty of outside time and regular updates on the app.
-Varied and healthy meals.
-Clear but not too strict routines: sleep/meal times/activities.
-Open
to changing and supporting as per child's individual needs.
-Clear definition from room to room, representing a step forward for children's development as they move to the next stage.


I think overall, it's the buzz, everyone is always smiling and friendly and professional even after a long week with little ones.

I appreciate the time and care the staff at the nursery work with us to ensure she gets the best out of her time at nursery. All staff are very welcoming and friendly and my daughter can’t wait to get to nursery. My child has built up such great relationships with the staff in her room and also every
member of staff throughout the staff know her and always wants to say hi. I consider this a home from home for her and I know what great care she receives every single day. I couldn’t thank them enough.

Through the 3 and a half years my son has been at Field House, he has always loved nursery. My son has had his challenges and these have been embraced as a beautiful part of what makes my son unique and special by all of the team.
Every step of my son's journey has been a change and a development and
they have all worked with us and my son's support team to ensure the highest level of care. As a deaf child, my son has been through hearing aids to cochlear implants, had operations and lots of appointments, had support workers in weekly and learnt sign language. This would be difficult for any child but with help from Field House, my son has thrived and flourished in their care. For that, we will always be incredibly grateful.

Both my children attend Field House and I am constantly in awe of how positive, friendly and pro-active the team are. They really do work as a team. The kindness and helpful nature of the staff always leave me feeling confident and secure that my children are in good hands. Both my girls are settled
and look forward to nursery. My eldest has already learnt her ABC's and some phonics. I couldn't be happier with my choice in preschool and nursery.

One of the top things which are great about Field House is the fantastic motivated team. The nursery has a wonderful homely feel with fresh food cooked daily. My daughter enjoys the magnificent outdoor space especially the newly refurbished playground. The staff team are really friendly and accommodating.
The children always seem happy and the staff are very approachable.

My granddaughter attends Field House Day Nursery and I cannot praise them enough for making her time so special. They're all so warm, friendly and welcoming. My granddaughter is always excited and happy to come to nursery and we love seeing all the things she brings home which she has made. A big thing
for my granddaughter is her food and the food they provide is AMAZING and varied.

Since my daughter has started here we've never had anything less than amazing experience. Our daughter was very unsettled the first 2 weeks and the girls went above and beyond to help her settle in. I have noticed her progress is also coming on leaps and bounds. Plus it is always nice to see how much
she enjoys coming here daily.

Both my daughters attended the nursery and they see it as a second home. We love the flexibility of the times open 7.30 - 6.30, lovely hot food cooked daily. The staff are amazing, understanding the needs of the girls - I would highly recommend the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Field House Day Nursery (Buckingham) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.853 for Field House Day Nursery (Buckingham) is calculated as follows: ( (353 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 395 Ratings = 4.853

  • 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 Field House Day Nursery (Buckingham) is based on 32 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8, which has been reached with 32 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.
