Although our twins were only there for a short while, due to personal reasons and logistics, the staff ensured that they were settled well, kept us informed and answered our many phone calls. They clearly care well for the children, and any concerns were dealt with straight away. We are sad that we
are no longer with Priory!

Sending my daughter to Priory Day Nursery was the best decision ever. My little girl thrived so much. She was happy to go in every single day and sometimes did not even want to come home. She made such lovely connections with all the nursery staff and to this day still talks about them. Her transition
to Reception was made so easy.
Having to drop off your child and not worry about how her day is going is the best thing ever for a parent. Communication and issues with the nursery is smooth and easy, the food is great, and the routine the kids have is also great. helps the little ones become independent too.
Highly recommend this nursery.

The Priory Day Nursery has been the best place for my son and us as a family. They were the first nursery to allow me to visit after COVID-19, so warm and welcoming despite the challenges, just what I needed as a first-time mum. My son has loved his time there, he started in 2021 and he left for school
in 2024. He learnt so much and has become a kind, caring and independent boy with the support from all the staff. He enjoyed every day, sharing all the things he learnt, we also got frequent updates with photos of activities, alongside his learning journal. The management has been so supportive for me as a parent, I can't fault them. It's been a great experience all around.

This is a lovely nursery. The staff are all caring and engaged. Both my boys love it here and are very well taken care of. The staff work hard to get to know the children as individuals and support them through their time at the nursery, even tailoring activities to suit the interests of the children
to keep it fun and engaging for them.

My daughter has started nursery in May 2022 when she was 2 years old very shy girl. She was really shy at first didn't want to play with kids and the ladies at nursery took very good care of her. She has slowly started liking going to nursery and a couple months later she's loved it. Now she loves everything
about nursery she has lots of friends, she is open and confident and she developed very well. She loves her teachers and she has a great time at nursery.
She would also want me to mention that she loves her lunches and food in there.
For me as a parent I did experience great communication with staff and had a quick reply to all my enquiries and I was confident with leaving my child at nursery while I was at work.
I would definitely recommend Priory Day Nursery to everyone (and I already did, my neighbour has a couple months old daughter and I already told her which nursery is the best).
Thank you for your care for the past 2 years!

I am so grateful that my children have the opportunity to attend Priory Nursery. My daughter has been attending for around 1 and a half years and she loves all her caregivers, she always comes back very happy and talks about her incredible day at the nursery. My son started recently and he loves it
too. The care that all the girls take with them is incredible. Thank you so much to everyone at Priory Nursery.

I am very happy with the nursery that my child attends. The staff are friendly, caring, and professional. They provide a stimulating and nurturing environment for the children, with a variety of activities and resources. The nursery is clean, spacious, and well-equipped. The nursery also follows the
Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, and supports the children’s learning and development. My child loves going to the nursery and has made great progress since joining. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

I just had to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to the whole team at Priory Day Nursery. You are all amazing! From the very first day, I dropped off my son at your nursery, I have never once doubted that he is receiving the highest level of care possible. Your dedication and commitment to
providing top-notch childcare are truly commendable.


It’s not only the exceptional care you provide but also your willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our requests and meet both my needs and my son's needs. It's incredibly reassuring to know that I can call at any time during the day, and you are always there to help.


In the midst of our busy working lives, you have given my husband and me complete peace of mind. That peace of mind is priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend Priory Day Nursery to anyone seeking the very best for their children.


A huge thank you to Priory Day Nursery for your caring, dedicated, and outstanding childcare service.

The Priory Day Nursery has been the perfect start for my son into pre-school and preparing him for integration into full days. All of the staff are super friendly, helpful and receptive. My son expresses how much he loves all of his carers and the activities that he enjoys during his days at ‘school’.
I
would recommend this nursery to anyone.

I couldn’t be happier with the Priory Day Nursery. My son has loved his time there. The staff are amazing, very friendly and caring, they supported my son and the family with his settling in, potty training and any concerns brought up at his different learning stages. My son is now a happy and confident
boy thanks to this nursery.

Very happy with my experience at Priory Day Nursery so far. All staff are kind and welcoming and my little one has built great relationships with them. My little one is now 3 years old and has learnt a lot from nursery such as putting on her own shoes and coat. My little one always has a happy story
to share about her day in nursery. They have great communication as they always inform me about my little one's day such as what she ate, how much she ate and sleep times. This has been so useful as I can understand my little one's routine. They have also been very accommodating to me as a working mum meaning that I am stress-free. Overall, I can say that the nursery has had a positive impact on my little ones' development. She learns a lot and really enjoys the fun and warm atmosphere that comes from the lovely staff.

My son started slightly later due to being placed in another nursery which did not work out for him.
We visited Priory Day and was immediately impressed.
My son struggles in certain areas and was also mute when starting. He has come on leaps and bounds thanks to his teaches. And also speaks perfectly.
The nursery in my eyes meets every child's needs and I have zero faults.
My son has enjoyed his time at Priory Day and we couldn't thank the staff enough for the past year.
Amazing overall.

I am very satisfied, my little girl has accommodation problems after a big trauma at another nursery, I thought she would never stay anywhere else, but to my surprise, she likes it very much. The staff is very professional and knows how to help her! I didn't move out of the city just to be able to continue
nursery here I highly recommend them they are the best in High Wycombe.

We are so pleased to have chosen Priory Day Nursery as our son has settled very well thanks to the amazing staff. After a couple of weeks, he really engaged with the rhythm of the nursery. It is very apparent that the staff take really good care of the children’s wellbeing, giving lots of cuddles and
affection. It really feels like they pay attention to each child’s individual needs whilst still integrating them into the overall nursery routine. Children’s development is at the heart of what they do, and they do so in a fun and engaging way through games/songs /garden play/messy play/ stories etc. The ey log is extremely useful day to day for keeping in touch with what your child is doing on a day-to-day basis.
We are so impressed to see our son develop so much in such a short space of time.
Thank you

My son settled so quickly. The staff are so friendly and caring, they supported me whilst I was potty training and offered great advice. My son has built confidence and has learned so much since attending this nursery. I know this as each time we came home he would tell me what he had done and I would
hear him singing new songs or counting or reenacting. He always looked forward to attending and always said lovely things about the staff. Thank you for encouraging my little man to be his best self.

The staff are very friendly and very caring. My son learnt a lot in all aspects from communication to settling in very quickly and was able to build a relationship with his key workers. My son's weaknesses were picked up quickly by well trained, professional staff. All the staff are approachable and
spend good, quality time assessing and observing each child individually. I am extremely pleased my child is thriving academically and socially. My son always learns something new on every visit.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for The Priory Day Nursery - High Wycombe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.961 for The Priory Day Nursery - High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.961

  • 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 The Priory Day Nursery - High Wycombe is based on 17 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 17 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.
