Grasshoppers Nursery is a very welcoming place that helps and supports children at the early stages of their life. It is accommodating to children who may have additional needs and looks to work alongside parents and other agencies that a child may be involved with. The facilities are great and food
offered is nutritious and varied.

My son has been going to Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury) nearly 6 months now attending one full day a week. He loves his day there and all the fun activities he gets to do. I have seen a big improvement in development even in these 6 months. All of the staff are so friendly and brilliant with the
children. I would highly recommend this nursery to all parents.

I am very happy with the care of my daughter at the nursery. The staff are very friendly and I know she’s well looked after while I’m at work. Her key worker sends pictures and updates of her development every now and then which is lovely to see and from her documentation clearly spends time interacting
with her. The nursery is always clean, full of activity and welcoming.

Fantastic staff, very attentive, patient and caring, my son loved his time in Grasshoppers Nursery and will miss it greatly. The staff took the time to get to know my son and catered to each of his specific needs and made him feel so welcomed and valued.
Very impressed with the cleanliness and activities
to enhance development.
My son is a very fussy eater but he loved the food there.

My child enjoyed their time at Grasshoppers nursery. Although they did not attend all week they still learned a lot and had fun. I was happy knowing my child was in great hands and they could socialise with other children and get messy. The nursery staff and management were very helpful and encouraging.
There was a real sense of family for all that attended and extra care for the children. My child was happy during their time at Grasshoppers and I would highly recommend for others.

Well - where to start? Grasshoppers Day Nursery provides a welcoming and nurturing environment for the children and their carers so from the moment you walk in the door you feel at ease. My grandson started at the nursery back in May and took a while to settle in but at all times the staff, in particular,
his key worker, were patient and supportive of his needs. He enjoys his time there and the improvement in his self-confidence and progress he has made is evident to all who know him.


The nursery provides a variety of activities and resources for the children to explore, encouraging them to try new things but also to be content in playing with familiar toys. My grandson loves being outdoors so the lovely garden and play area provides an excellent space for him to enjoy.


I cannot praise the nursery staff enough for the warm, caring and nurturing environment they provide - despite being one of many children in the Bumblebees room I feel my grandson is made to feel special.

My son loves it here. He enjoys the food, the construction area and the garden the most! He is happy to demonstrate the yoga he has been taught at home and his love for learning is truly nurtured by all the Grasshoppers, amazing staff.

Can’t sing the praises enough of Grasshoppers Day Nursery.
They came to my rescue when I had to suddenly remove my child from another nursery for safety reasons. I was able to start my little girl immediately and they were amazing. My little girl always suffers from separation anxiety but it’s almost
gone since being here.
Everyone is so friendly, yet professional. I love how all staff know the child. The interaction with parents is also amazing, I’m kept so informed on things she’s doing and she’s improved so much in such a short time.

I cannot sing the praises to Grasshoppers in Aylesbury enough! My little girl moved from Bumble Bees to Pre-School in May/June and the transition was excellent. Not only has she settled quickly but she cannot wait to go to school. Most importantly her main carer has done brilliantly with my daughter's
speech and language development. The main carer is consistent and persistent in getting the best of my child. My daughter now has conversations, unlike before!

My son has been attending Grasshoppers since January 2018 and I have found that the patience, enthusiasm and care shown by his key worker and other staff members in his room have meant that, after an unsettled start,m he is now enjoying nursery. I have seen a huge leap in his development and would never
hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone else.

Cannot praise the staff at Aylesbury Grasshoppers highly enough; patient, fun and kind. The gentle approach taking full account of child development is exactly aligned with how we choose to parent. Both children are happy and securely attached to staff and this has made being a working mum feel much
easier than it could have done. Amazing.

Grasshoppers Aylesbury is definitely a nursery I would recommend to other parents. My little boy has been in the Caterpillar room since November 2017 and the staff have been absolutely amazing with him, watching him grow and helping him develop. My son's development has improved massively since attending
Grasshoppers. The staff have become family to my little boy and myself too. They care for my son as if he is their own which makes dropping off my son a lot easier. I feel the staff at Grasshoppers are a fantastic team and work extremely well together. I couldn't thank the staff enough for what they do my son.

My son loves going to nursery, the staff are so welcoming and caring. They are a credit to the nursery.
My son has learnt so many skills to become more independent, his language development has grown. The staff provide such interesting and engaging activities that meet the needs of all the children.
As a parent, I feel very involved within the nursery and receive good communication from the nursery constantly.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury) 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.964 for Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury) is calculated as follows: ( (348 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury) is based on 30 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 30 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.
