  • The Webber Nursery, Milton Keynes
The Webber Nursery is a home away from home, allowing children to feel safe, happy, and eager to learn, situated in the heart of Milton Keynes, adjacent to Linford Woodland and welcomes ages 6 months to 4 years.

The beautifully appointed spacious grounds and bespoke learning spaces offer children unlimited exploration and play, developing their well-being and confidence in a cosy, safe and loving environment. Outdoor classrooms, woodland areas, and landscaped grounds provide further opportunities for exploration and wonder.

Although standalone, the Nursery is an integral part of the highly regarded Webber Independent School. The children enjoy Drama and Yoga in the dance studio, multi-sports in the spacious indoor sports hall and outdoor AstroTurf pitch. They also enjoy home-cooked nutritious meals and cooking sessions with the in-house chef, eco lessons in the Eco-Garden, and playing with friends in two creatively resourced outdoor areas.

One key element the Webber parents value highly is a seamless transition to 'Big school' supported by a stage-not-age approach to their individual learning journey. Webber's newly built pre-prep room is designed especially for this transition. It introduces young learners to school life and engages them in play and development, with a stronger focus on numeracy and literacy.

A passionate and highly qualified Nursery team delivers educational excellence 51 weeks of the year, with opening times of 7:30 am – 6:00 pm and offering full and half-day sessions. They also offer 2-year funding for working parents in line with HM Government.

Best nursery choice we could have made for our two-year-old daughter. Firstly, the staff are so warm and lovely. They have made settling into nursery an ease. The experience is personal and everyone is truly dedicated. The premises of the nursery is clean and cosy. They organise different special events
throughout the year which adds extra value.

My daughter has been in nursery since she was 6 months and she is 3 years old now and absolutely loves it. Staff, nursery leaders are amazing, she is thriving and in safe hands. She loves coming to the nursery, loves activities and food. I got full trust and reassurance. Very good and safe care is provided
for my child and have that peace of mind as a full-time working mum. Fresh home-cooked style meals are huge bonus. Thank you to all staff for such good care!

Our daughter joined The Webber Nursery in January, and we’ve noticed a huge change in her. She’s absolutely thriving, loves everyone there and enjoys meal times so much more. We’re so happy that we chose the Webber. Thank you to all the staff who look after her so well.

My toddler really enjoys his nursery experience. There is good structure which he enjoys with PE classes, an added bonus for an energetic 2-year-old.
They have supported his social skills and has been since 7 months.

The Webber Nursery is like no other, for my twins, the environment was nurturing, bright and learning is an important part of the nursery day along with lots of play and experiences (yoga). The staff were all warm, friendly and professional. The Manager and Deputy Manager the same! Very professional
and happy to deal with any concerns or queries promptly. My 3 year old son completed his potty training within 2-3 weeks of starting at The Webber Nursery, the staff have the patience to support but also instil and encourage independence. As a family, we were extremely happy with our 3 year old twin's experience and they gained alot from The Webber Nursery! Lunches were yummy and a Bonus for us was that they actually provide Halal options which is unavailable at all other nurseries we engaged with or previously attended. My children had attended two franchise nurseries and whilst they may look pretty and their lunches lovely - in terms of learning, care and overall experience, The Webber Nursery is a Winner!

There are some truly stand-out professionals working at this nursery, who show great attention to our daughter's learning and compassion towards her character and development. We feel she is in very safe hands and she always delights in going to the nursery to see her friends and teachers.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 8 months old. He always is happy to get out the car when we pull up to the nursery. Any concerns I have, are always dealt with in a timely manner. The learning programme is inclusive of many cultural backgrounds. I feel the menu is a little repetitive and
would like to see a wider selection of vegetables used, but my son always eats everything and often goes back for seconds. The nursery staff are lovely and they genuinely seem to care about my son. Overall, a very positive experience.

We recently changed nursery and the difference in level of care, learning and development is excellent - our son now runs into nursery instead of crying at just the thought of caring. We believe the teachers take great care to care for you child according to your wishes. We trust that he is being looked
after well and is learning all sorts of things that you just would not at a normal nursery. Time is dedicated to teach them outdoor activities such as learning to climb, also group play, lots of sensory play and educational development of colours, numbers and shapes as well as how to communicate and in the year to come he will start doing yoga! I would highly recommend this nursery for the essential development of your child from early years giving them a great start to starting school putting them well ahead of other peers. It’s lovely they have a full uniform and school bag too.

Very poor experience.
Young staff not trained well - safeguarding issues.
Issues raised would be ignored - no response to emails and calls.
Outdoor area not specially designed for toddlers.
Food - terrible and tiny scrappy portions.
Staff “spread too thin” by their own admission.
They have
great difficulty managing toddler behaviour.
Didn’t clean my child’s face and hands.
Individual development targets set but nothing much done to meet them.

Reply from Ashleigh Couch, Marketing Officer at The Webber Nursery

This parents response was due to their frustration of not being able to re-register their child after notice had been given due to relocation. The nursery is in high demand and the place had been reallocated.
The safeguarding of our children is our highest priority. The nursery is staffed beyond the age ratio requirements and our beautifully resourced outdoor areas offer a wonderful learning experience. Delicious, balanced meals are prepared on site using fresh, local ingredients.
This parents’ concerns were investigated promptly and a detailed response provided outlining how our experienced team followed all safeguarding practices and introduced strategies to support the needs of a child who struggled to follow age-appropriate expectations.
Our Headmistress offered to meet with this parent and was disappointed that this offer was not accepted. This parents’ experience does not reflect the high parent satisfaction and positive reviews that we receive on a regular basis.

We are very happy with this nursery. My 4-year-old boy is very happy there, and we feel happy as he is looked after very well. Extremely friendly and caring staff. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My 2.5year-old son had never attended any care setting prior to starting at The Webber Nursery, and due to lockdown, was unable to go and view nurseries, so I was somewhat a novice at what to expect. The acting head put me at ease straight away and explained everything. Since he started, they have been
amazing. My confident little boy has loved every minute and needs reminding to say bye as he runs in with excitement to see his new friends. Two key workers have made sure he feels safe, and he even said “bye love you” to one of them last week, so clearly he feels safe.
He comes home and tells me everything he’s done that day with so much enthusiasm that it makes me wish I was there too.
I couldn’t ask for a better care environment for my son. I know he’s in safe hands so I can go to work and not worry.
I love the ethos that the school has, their objectives and mine are pretty aligned with regards to learning.
Hopefully, he will continue to love The Webber until he’s 16.

I would really recommend The Webber Nursery.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, and this, in turn, helps the child to settle in well.
My little one is very happy to go to nursery and no more cries to go in the morning.
Thank you!

The Webber Nursery is a wonderful nursery. The staff are approachable and always helpful. Our son is very excited about going in every morning. They are very focused on individual child development through regular focus weeks. They also provide us updates at the end of each day and via an online journal.
The activities are fun and varied. Our son loves telling us about what he has been up to each day! We would highly recommend this nursery.

Excellent service has been provided since my son joined the nursery in September.
He has grown and developed well with the support of the lovely staff, who are always providing a loving environment. He is always looking forward to going into nursery every day.

We found The Webber Nursery a fantastic place for our son. The staff are amazing, and they take extra care for him, you can see it from his face when arrives and leaves the nursery. They are so enthusiastic and welcoming. We get updates on what the boy does and what eats throughout the day through the
online website.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.475)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.475) out of 10 for The Webber Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.710 for The Webber Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.71

  • 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 4.765 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Webber Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.865

  • 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.
