A great nursery with superb staff who care but also work well together. They always have time to talk to me and support my requests as best as they can. Management is fun, fair and firm. Makes interaction approachable and a flexible response is sought as a default.

Our daughter is in the Pre school room now and loves it. We find all the staff kind and caring.
All the staff in the nursery know the children's names in other room and they all know the staff.
The garden is fantastic. The toys and space they have to enjoy is amazing and one of the many reasons why
we choice this nursery, as our daughter is an outside child.

I would be more than happy to recommend Grasshoppers Day Nursery. Taking your child to the nursery for the first time can be daunting for any parent and I was terrified on that first day! I was met by the staff who were extremely comforting and welcoming. They immediately showed an interest in my daughter
and helped her to settle in nicely. I left the nursery, after dropping her off and tried to sneak away thinking she would react better, however, she caught me leaving (my heart sunk) and then she came over to me, said goodbye and toddled off to play house with a member of staff! I almost skipped out of the door! Since then my daughter has bonded so well with all the staff and other children and loves Nursery days! She has also developed in so many areas and loves learning new things! Wouldn't consider sending her anywhere else.

Our child is very happy at Grasshoppers. He started at 13 months old and is now 2 and a half years. He has made wonderful progress in all aspects of his development, and we believe it is also thanks to Grasshoppers. The friendships he developed with children and adults and being involved in fun group
activities, playing, singing and dancing. Staff are always very welcoming, caring, kind and able to answer questions anytime. The Parent Zone app is great, as it puts a smile on my face to see our boy exploring and having fun when we are at work., We're very happy that kids spend time outdoors too! Highly recommended.

The staff at the nursery are very friendly and helpful. Our son loves playing outside and has had a lot of support to adapt to his new environment. We are very pleased that our son is attending Grasshoppers and I think the parent zone is a brilliant idea. To keep parents up-to-date with the little one's
progress.

Great members of the team in pre-school. They all made my daughter feel welcome and involved from day one. One of the nursery practitioners provides great feedback after every session, treating/recalling all children individually. I am also provided with great feedback online to comment on. The nursery
team leader made settling in and understanding parental aspects easy and comfortable. Another one of the nursery practitioners is always welcoming to my daughter, ensuring she is settled and answers any questions or queries.

A very caring environment where the staff members clearly care a lot for the children they are taking care of. Communication skills are very good from the nursery and as parents we were kept well informed on our child's day/how she had been in herself.

Our daughter loves coming to nursery, she has a big smile across her face from the moment we pull into the care park. The staff seem very caring and affectionate, ensuring we feel confident our daughter is in a safe, educational and supportive environment.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for any
of the staff and we have and will continue to sing your praises and recommend you at any relevant opportunity. All that is left to say is thank you!!

We are very lucky to have found Grasshoppers. Our son is very happy here, has lots of fun and asks for the staff at weekends too. For us as parents, knowing that he is happy and able to learn and explore in a safe, clean and friendly environment makes it much easier getting on with our work day. We
find the email communication with the next weeks planned activities useful and appreciate the daily feedback too. Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly nursery. My child is always very well cared for and happy. Everything is very straightforward and documented. Lots of different activities to keep baby's happy. My child has very good connection with her key worker and that puts me in ease to know she has somebody to turn to when she
needs while I am in work.

Thank you so much for offering my son and daughter such a wonderful experience at nursery. They love to come to nursery and always seem to come home talking about all the fun things they have done in their day. I have observed that my daughter's talking has now developed well while at nursery and my
son has appreciated the social learning from the setting. Unfortunately, due to me taking maternity leave the children cannot continue to attend the nursery. We are very excited about having a new member of the family on the way. Thank you again. Grasshoppers is such a lovely nursery setting and I would recommend it highly to anyone who asked.

We have been impressed with how well the staff have ensured a smooth transition for our 2 daughters who started last September. Everyone is friendly, helpful and professional. We are kept very well informed of our children's day and also of the weekly/monthly goings on. It is comforting to see the creative
planning displayed in the pre-school room and how the staff follow the children's interests. The rooms are always set up with well thought through attractive and stimulating activities when we drop off in the morning. Both our children are happy to be left with the staff.

My son loves going to nursery twice a week and adores his key worker. He seems to do a good range of activities and his key worker is always happy to give us a good update of what he's been up to. Everyone in the nursery is friendly and helpful and I am very pleased with our choice.

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.
