Have had both of my children attend the nursery and they both love it there. Staff is very friendly. Could improve on more structured learning for the children, especially preschoolers and cleanliness of toilet facilities.

Reply from Marketing Team, Marketing at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central

Thank you very much for your feedback. We have loved having your children here too. We really apricate feedback from parents as it helps us to continually improve our settings and facilities. We have taken note of all your points and with the nursery and senior management team, we will look into the structured learning and the cleanliness of the toilets. We would like to wish your children good luck as they continue on with their journey.

My two children both attend this nursery and they both love the place. I have never had to worry about their well being when the kids are dropped off. The teachers are very lovely, patient and very dedicated, and I always feel well informed about what the kids have been up to each day when I pick them
up. One of my children is now going off to reception and I feel that she has been sufficiently prepared to begin reception. Their backyard has plenty of space and the place, in general, has a wide range of toys and books. It is very clean too and I am impressed by their range of meals. I only wish we would have the occasional parent-teacher group meetings, as well as the events that the children put on that we can attend. Otherwise, a very lovely nursery and I strongly recommend!

We have been taking our daughter to this nursery for almost two years now. I have always felt that she has been looked after well. The children have age appreciate rooms within a variety of toys and equipment. Meals made on site and children are encouraged to take part in making their snacks. The staff
are kind and help as much as they can. Not without its challenges but everyone is dedicated and are working hard to continue to grow and make positive changes. Lines of communication have improved between nursery and parents. My daughter looks forward to nursery in the morning and comes home exhausted which for us is a good sign. Thank you to everyone one who looks after the most precious thing to us and looking forward to what next year brings.

Very welcoming and lovely nursery. Staff are helpful, caring and attentive to children’s needs. I see stimulating activities and children learning in a fun and enjoyable way. My daughter has settled in really well. Staff have been very reassuring from the beginning and supported my daughter to settle
by using her favourite activities, storybooks and singing to her. Actual management is exceptional, always available and supportive; great parent partnership.
Big outdoor area also convenient location near train station. I will recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery at Milton Keynes Central to my friends.

I found at Ashbourne nursery a big lack of communication between carers and parent. My daughter was attending the nursery 3 days a week. I have always been informed about what she eats at pick up time but I missed information about what she has learned. I was also not updated about her development.
Weekly news was too general and parents meetings didn't happen often.
My daughter took ages to settle in the nursery and when she finally seemed to enjoy it we were forced to move her to a different nursery as we have been told there is no such option to extend morning sessions - that was our main reason for making this decision. I felt very disappointed when I was informed on her last day that there is such a possibility.
The new nursery helped me realise how daily communication about your child is important.
In overall, Ashbourne is not bad however there are many different nurseries that can offer more for less money.

I am very happy with the care my son receives.
He has learnt a lot since attending and always comes home happy and full of excitement.
I have had no issues since he started and the team are always friendly and helpful and he is obviously well looked after in their care.

The staff have helped my son to settle so well over the last 12 months.
He loves going to nursery and the huge variety of activities each day has aided his development hugely.

My daughter really likes this nursery.
She is always entertained, likes singing and loves playing in the garden.
She has developed a lot with the different activities, she can count and she recognises the letters and she knows which word starts with that letter.
(She is here over 2 years now and
she'll be 4 years old soon.)

My son attends Blossom Tree Day Nursery. He is very happy there and eager to be dropped off. The staff are friendly and my son is well looked after. I could not ask for more. I am pleased and the money spent is well worth it.

My little girl has been at nursery for 3 months now and we have seen a massive improvement in her speech and communication skills. She likes all the staff especially the ones in her room. She eats well and settled into the routines really well with help from staff. She gets excited to come in and doesn't
want to go home at the end of the day. Staff are very welcoming and always accommodate her needs. The feedback at the end of the day on all the activities she has done is amazing. We get work sent home on a regular basis which is lovely to show the rest of the family. Nothing is better than when your child is happy to be somewhere!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.993 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.993

  • 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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central is based on 12 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.75

  • 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.
