  • Busy Bees Stokenchurch, High Wycombe
The nursery in Stokenchurch opened in December 2004 and is situated locally in Stokenchurch near High Wycombe. Stokenchurch has a lovely village environment and is close to good commuter links. The nursery accommodates the differing needs of children from 6 weeks to 5 years.

The nursery has specifically designed rooms to encourage child development and meet the needs of the individual age groups, as well as providing a large outdoor play area for the children to explore and learn. Children are cared for within the nursery by friendly and dedicated staff.

The nursery has a large outdoor area and a separate baby garden designed to inspire a child's imagination. Pirate boats, climbing apparatus, trikes and ride on toys, along with a good selection of specialist outdoor play equipment, all incorporating a variety of materials and safety surfacing, allowing children to play in a challenging, safe and stimulating environment.

A minibeast and digging area, along with purpose-built raised beds, allow opportunities for children to grow their own fresh vegetables and herbs evoking a natural curiosity in the world around them. A variety of trees and plants surround the garden, allowing children to observe the changing of seasons.

The nursery serves the village by encouraging social interaction with others in the community, with regular visits to the library and maintains strong links with the village school.

The nursery is a bright and modern building providing a warm welcoming atmosphere and is open from 7.30am - 6.15pm Monday-Friday. The building has state of the art CCTV system covering all rooms and the outdoor area, together with a secure door entry system.

Busy Bees has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. She is clearly extremely stimulated whilst at nursery which is clear from her development since we placed her in nursery three months ago. I am confident that my daughter is receiving excellent care.

My children started at Busy Bees in Stokenchurch in September 2019. From the off the staff were amazing. I was starting back to education, which brought its own stresses but all the staff were super helpful and supportive. I couldn’t have asked for any better.
My son has hearing difficulties and all
staff have been on board with outside organisations coming into the nursery to give some education on hearing aids. They have all been keen to be involved, meaning my son is very well supported.
I know both my children feel loved and comfortable at Busy Bees. Always giving cuddles on pick-up and never seem upset.
Knowing I can drop my children off, walk out of the nursery and get on with my day without worry is just a gift that I will be forever grateful for.
Communication is amazing and at no point do they hesitate to call if there is a problem, even if it’s just for reassurance to a panicky mother or to ask a question.
As parents, we are extremely happy and couldn’t ask for better.

Staff are very friendly and great with security, management are always helpful and always get great communication from the nursery.
They always go above and beyond.
Really lovely gardens and I love the fact that the gardens are separate for the younger children and the older children.

my granddaughter has been here for nearly 2 years, all of the staff are amazing and know her needs well.
They show such interest and care for her that I feel so happy leaving her there.
She has amazing friends and always learns something new.
My granddaughter has additional needs and they accommodate
everything and more to ensure she is happy and comfortable.
I couldn't recommend more.
I am always kept updated if she doesn't eat, drink or sleep and they will always keep us involved.
LOVE this nursery.

We have been sending our eldest son there for about a year now and he loves it, he has shown massive progression since going there. We have also recently started our younger son there who also has taken to it like a duck to water. The key workers for both our sons are amazing, however the whole team
of staff there are excellent, they are very welcoming and extremely friendly and most importantly the kids love them. When dropping the boys off I feel confident that they are being well taken care of, and on collection I can see they have had a fun and exhausting day. You are always given a detailed handover of their day by the key worker so you always know what your little ones have been up to.


The environment is fun and educational and with a huge variety of activities. There are huge amounts of outside play areas are our boy's favourites. All in all, I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone, you will have to go a long way to find better than this.

Sending my daughter to this childcare/nursery has been one of the best decisions I have made. The managers are all wonderful, despite recently having to move and to a new system, they have been very accommodating and so supportive. All the staff members we know are very friendly and caring. They always
keep us informed of any changes or developments and support us (the parents) in what we try to do from home as well (e.g. getting her to drink from a cup rather than the bottle, etc). My daughter loves all the various activities they do and is very happy there. Everyone is so encouraging and loving. Overall it is an amazing childcare/nursery and a very positive place.

Positive steps is a fabulous nursery, like any parent I was anxious to leave my little one when I headed back to work, and my little boy struggled to settle initially. The team at Positive Steps went over and above to help him settle in and now he loves it! His day is structured but remains fun and
flexible to meet his own individual needs.

The care at this nursery is high quality. My daughter has a good connection with all the carers, and particularly her key worker. They are very good at providing structure without losing the playful atmosphere. They have identified that my daughter is ready to progress to the next level and have
invested in some early phonics reading books especially to provide differentiation for her. Overall, a caring and fun atmosphere.

New to the area initially, I visited more than 10 other nurseries. This one was by far the best! Staff are very supportive of my child and ourselves (parents).


They are working very well with the routines we have, along with what's best for our son. Our son loves all members of staff and we notice,

on a daily basis, new positive things he has been learning.


Most of all our son loves going to Busy Bees and obviously, it plays a key part towards his development and future. I would highly recommend this nursery over and over. Thank you to everyone there.

Since my little one has started at nursery she has developed amazing friendships with others and learnt so many independent skills and her imagination through play is amazing. My little one enjoys nursery.

I have just attended a parents' evening for my 4-year-old twins who attend the nursery 3 mornings a week. I found their key worker to be enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the girls' progress and steps to move forward even though they have not known them for long. It is always reassuring to see
genuine care and nurturing for your children.

The staff are so caring and my daughter thoroughly enjoys every day she is there.
We use the nursery on a full-time basis and I don't know what I would do without them.
My daughter has developed her language skills immensely since she has been attending.
I can't rate them highly enough.

My daughter has had a really positive experience at Positive Steps Children's Day Nursery. She has really bonded with her key worker and is almost always happy to go to her in the morning. She loves the facilities, especially the lovely gardens and the Tiny Mitts entertainment they have. The staff are
all friendly and accommodating and give great handovers at the end of the day. My daughter loves the food, especially the variety they provide. Overall I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.214)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.214) out of 10 for Busy Bees Stokenchurch 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.917 for Busy Bees Stokenchurch is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.297 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Stokenchurch is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.172

  • 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.
