I have full confidence in Adorable and am very relieved with how excited and happy my little girl is to attend. On the weekend, if we drive past in the car she is kicking her legs in excitement and waving- she's probably looking for all her buddies and her favourite ladies! It is clear she loves all
the staff and always has a cuddle and a smile for them. We have nothing negative to say whatsoever about any aspect of the nursery- from the staff, the activities, the facilities, the menu and the fantastic garden is a huge bonus for us. Everything is to an excellent standard but most importantly the staff bring a very nice atmosphere to the nursery- they are always on hand with feedback and we always appreciate to hear the good and bad aspects of the day and the fact that they don't sugarcoat if the child misbehaves or has an accident etc. They do an amazing job, working long hours etc. but always manage to keep a positive mind frame so kudos to them!

Adorable nursery is a wonderful place for your little one. I would highly recommend on the basis of care, activities on offer, the fantastic nursery staff and delicious range of food cooked on site each day.
Each day when we collect our child, the handover information is excellent - I feel I get a
great sense of what my little one has been doing that day! She thoroughly enjoys herself and that makes us feel very happy. Callout to the Starfish staff who are just fantastic.

We are extremely happy with the nursery. Our son is so settled there and comes home full of happy stories about being there. We get regular communications about nursery events and detailed updates on our son's development. The staff are helpful, attentive, encouraging and kind. I wouldn't hesitate in
recommending them to others.

My daughter is so happy here. The staff are so friendly and caring, so at weekends, my daughter often refers to them as her friends. Service is personal and friendly and I honestly couldn't ask for more from a childcare setting. I trust them implicitly.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Adorable Nurseries has the potential to be amazing but the inexperience of some staff and how to get the best out of the child's development is inconsistent. If they don't like the food they are not given anything else automatically, I had to ask for this. I love the fact the food is varied and they
experience a range of tastes.
There are some phenomenal staff, particularly my daughters key-worker, who ensures my daughter is happy, learning and engaged but there is a need for training for consistency for other staff who have fed back to me. The rooms are now far too small in the younger years. When my daughter started she had the delight of roaming the entire floor downstairs but as they have accepted more and more children she is now confined to the small room at the back and the garden obviously (which is fantastic). Perhaps I'm a one off but my daughter informed me of incidents which they haven't. The manager is extremely helpful and quick with correspondence.

Reply from Sue, Nursery Manager at Adorable Nurseries Ltd

Thank you for your review. The nursery employs 16 members of staff -11 staff members are qualified to level 3 in Early Years, 1 member of staff has a degree and the manager has an early years teacher status. The nursery does support students on the apprenticeship pathway who are undertaking their level 3.


The nursery operates within the recommended room size downstairs and the rooms are now split as the nursery now has a room for babies and one for toddlers. Our room sizes are 9 children in the baby room and 12 in our lovely garden room. The garden room has access to outdoor play all day - this enables the nursery to extend the children's learning safely as they can be more age appropriate.

This nursery is fantastic. All of the staff are kind, caring and very approachable. They make sure every child is looked after and has fun.


The outside area is what attracted me to this nursery. My child loves the outdoors and she loved their garden space. The garden area is always tidy and available

for the children in all weather.


The inside of the nursery is also great, with a lot to offer for the children to play and learn.

The nursery is warm welcoming and considerate to all who enter. It is clear they make an effort to support all types of families with different religions or with specific needs. All the staff are caring and happy every time we see them and this reflects on our child who comes home with stories and happy
news when asked how her day was.
The activities organised provide imaginative daily fun. My daughter comes back in a positive manner which tells me she is looked after appropriately. They update us with newsletters and are approachable if we had any issues. They organise well the summer nursery fete making good use of meeting other families whose child attends the nursery.

This is by far the best nursery I have used (out of 5 for 3 children). The children of all age ranges are always so happy to go in, very rarely do you see an upset child going in to nursery in the morning. It's has a wonderful atmosphere and fantastic curriculum and everything is centred around the
children and their wellbeing. The staff are wonderful and very approachable, supportive and professional.
Any child would be lucky to spend their early years in such a secure, safe and happy environment. Well done Adorable Nurseries!

Both my children have been through Adorable Nurseries, currently, my youngest is attending in the Starfish room.
The care is amazing all staff make you feel confident to leave your child with them, creating activities that stimulate them.
The only downside is they need to expand, it would be great
to offer more places.
The outside space is great and can be used in all weathers, would be excellent with some space.

Fantastic Nursery which we are delighted has opened on our doorstep in Stony Stratford. Lovely, well-resourced setting with a large, multi-sensory garden out the back.
Staff are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic, they are available to liaise with at the beginning and end of the day.
Parents are
kept well informed about their child's progress and activities through weekly newsletters, an online Learning Journey (which parents can add their child's home experiences to) and regular parents evenings.
The opening hours are really useful for full time working parents. We have been very happy with the care and feel our son is left in safe hands.

This nursery is fantastic! I have nothing negative to say about it at all! The rooms are clean and bright with lots of different toys and activities for the children play with.
The garden is just amazing! They grow vegetables and fruits I couldn't ask for more.
The food they have is great a wide
variety of different meals. The staff are amazing always around for any questions I need to ask, very informative and they have a great relationship with my son.
My son had come on leaps and bounds since starting, I've truly never seen him happier within the setting!

My children have been attending Adorable Nursery for the last eight months. From the very first day, I was very impressed with the service the nursery provides. Our boys are always very excited to attend. From the feedback I receive from staff and my children I am confident that they have great opportunity
to play, learn and socialise.
Nursery staff are always approachable and keep me well informed about my child progress. My children's key person is knowledgeable about my child. The nursery very happy that they have an outside chef. Overall, I am very happy with the quality of care and support my children receives.

I have sent my two children to Adorable since its opening in 2015. I have used other childcare provisions (nursery, Preschool, childminder) but Adorable is the best setting by miles in my experience.
I'm happy to pay extra for this wonderful nursery experience than to compromise with childcare that
I'm not 100% happy with (as was the previous case).
Adorable staff are delightful, my children genuinely enjoy their company and only speak positively about all staff. The Manager is always helpful, friendly, very personable and knowledgeable.
They use Tapestry and regularly share details and pictures of my child's activities. They helped with my eldest's transition to school by teaching her phonics and lending her reading books to bring home to encourage her desire to learn. Via a weekly newsletter we know in advance topics and activities the children will be doing the following week, and they are always so busy every day! The children always have great fun, and they love the garden area!

An extremely caring nursery. Very friendly knowledgeable staff.
They go out of their way to help and ensure the children are happy and stimulated.
The outdoor area is just a fantastic place.
We especially love the mornings that are opened up to the parents for fathers/mothers day which is an insight
into what the children do and the fun they have.

A lovely, warm and caring atmosphere. Children are welcomed individually and feedback to parents/grandparents is positive and supportive. A super learning environment, well looked after and maintained. The garden especially is a delight and children are encouraged to make use of it whenever possible.

My daughter has been at Adorable Nurseries for half a year now and clearly loves it. She is happy to be dropped off when we arrive in the mornings.


Her development is blossoming through the mixed experiences offered at nursery. The staff all seem nurturing, engaged and positive, so I feel sure

that my daughter is stimulated and fulfilled during her sessions there.


The levels of communication and security are great, and I feel confident in the care the team provide.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Adorable Nurseries Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.942 for Adorable Nurseries Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.942

  • 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 4.893 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Adorable Nurseries Ltd is based on 10 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.893

  • 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.
