Our son has just finished a year in the baby room. The care he has received has been exceptional and the baby room staff are all so kind and knowledgeable. They always make so much effort for outdoor play and village walks, adapt so well to each child's routine and invent the most fun activities for
the babies.
The weekly photos of activities and regular updates on development are wonderful to read and provide a great connection between parents and the nursery.
It has been a real joy to see our little one develop so well in such a lovely setting.
The baby room team are a real credit to the nursery and I am sure the higher-up rooms won't disappoint.
Couldn't recommend the place highly enough!

My child has recently started at Buckden and is thriving. It took minimal time for them to build bonds with the staff and happily walks through the door every morning. The staff are very informative at the end of the day. The environment is amazing very cosy and the team are great.
The food is great
and my child eats so well here. Lots of variety and really nutritious.

Buckden Day Nursery is an amazing nursery, with amazing staff. The staff care and you can tell they love their jobs. My daughter is so happy at nursery and looks forward to going. The activities they do with the children are lovely and well thought out, as well as fun and stimulating. The management

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.433)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.433) out of 10 for Buckden Day Nursery 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for Buckden Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.433 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buckden Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 82 number of registered child places is 16.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.183

  • 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.
