I visited the nursery after seeing an ad online. I was very impressed by the responsiveness of the nursery manager. She responded to all my questions and was always available on email before settling in sessions. What makes the nursery great is the staff. They are very kind and have been taking great
care of my son. We receive daily feedbacks and all the information are shared live on the nursery app. My son is enjoying the experience and we, as parents, cannot be happier of our choice.

I had the pleasure of enrolling my son in an outstanding nursery that truly transformed his early learning experience. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was evident that this nursery prioritizes not just education, but also the social and emotional development of its children. The staff
is incredibly nurturing and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming environment that encourages little ones to explore and engage. Thanks to staff, my son has made remarkable progress in his ability to articulate his thoughts and feelings. He has become more sociable, making friends easily and engaging in conversations with both adults and children. I am beyond grateful for the dedication and passion of the staff, who have played a pivotal role in shaping my son's communication skills. I highly recommend Buxlow to any parent looking for a nurturing environment that promotes exceptional learning and socialization.

I can't recommend Buxlow Nursery highly enough! My son joined at the age of two and has been exceptionally well cared for. The staff's expertise in early years education is impressive, and the activities and structured environment they provide support his development and that of the other children.
As
someone who works in education, I took my time finding a nursery that met my high expectations, and Buxlow has exceeded them. The Nursery Leader and the team bring a wealth of experience in early childhood education, including supporting children with SEND, making it a fantastic setting for young children.
The indoor provision is well-organised, and the nursery makes excellent use of a dedicated outdoor space. The continuous provision is regularly updated to reflect the children's interests and significant events throughout the year (e.g., Christmas). Parents are actively involved, with regular invitations to special events such as Halloween afternoons and Mother's Day celebrations.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter initially took time to adjust to the nursery which the staff were very accommodating and helpful with. Within just a few weeks, my daughter loved going into the nursery and couldn't wait to go back. She quickly learnt numbers, a new word each day and developed her motor and fine skills.
There was a new activity each day and regular updates about her curriculum progress which the manager and all the amazing teachers have curated so well. She would tell me about her friends and even sing nursery rhymes at home. When we had to leave the nursery due to moving to Richmond, I found it really difficult to find a replacement nursery which was as good as Buxlow Preparatory School & Nursery. The new nursery commented that my daughter was the smartest, most well-behaved, confident and curious child in the class and I can only attribute this to the fantastic team of teachers at Buxlow. This nursery really developed my child's personality and knowledge. 100% recommend it to any parent with a young child.

Reply from Timea Gerocsne Tama, Nursery Manager at Buxlow Preparatory School & Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear about the progress your daughter made during her time with us at Buxlow Preparatory School & Nursery. It was truly a pleasure to watch her grow, develop, and thrive in our care. We're so glad to have been a part of her early learning journey and are thrilled to hear how she blossomed into such a confident, curious, and intelligent little one. The entire team thoroughly enjoyed looking after her, and we're so proud of everything she achieved.We wish you all the best as you settle into Richmond, and we'll always have fond memories of your daughter's time with us. Thank you for trusting us with her care and development - it was our pleasure!

Truly great school. Excellent experience with all three of my children. My first child joined in 2005 and my third child is now (2022) studying there. My wife and I are truly and always been happy. Over 17 years and at different times and stages of our children's schooling experience at Buxlow. We are
happy with not only the school teaching and education side but also them teaching my kids behaviour and good manors. In addition, classes are small and not crowded so lots of one-to-one tutoring. Thank you Buxlow from the head of the school to all the teachers. Highly recommended.

I have found Buxlow to be a very nurturing and caring environment. The teachers are warm and brilliant with the children. It feels the perfect balance between nurturing children whilst teaching them as well. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. My nephew goes to the school and is also extremely happy
there. He has transformed in his confidence, personality and education since joining last year.

Our son has just finished almost two years at Buxlow Nursery. He has now nicely transitioned into Buxlow Reception and settled in really well. We have seen such great progress in our son. From a very shy 2-year-old to a confident and smiley boy, full of knowledge. The nursery manager and her team are
fantastic, building great relationships with not only the kids but the parents too. There was a lovely balance of learning (made fun) and also teaching other skills such as getting dirty (my son never liked dirt, but he does now). Thanks so much to the nursery manager and all the staff. I am happy you still get to see my son as he progresses through Buxlow School.

My daughter has just started at Buxlow promptly after she turned 2. Having been at home with her grandmother before then. She has adapted very well to the nursery and to being around other children her age. My nephew also attends the nursery. We have been very impressed with the staff and both my daughter
and her cousin have formed a strong bond with the nursery teachers. Highly recommend.

Since my child began at Buxlow Nursery, I'm impressed with his development! He was a bit shy and quiet in the beginning but soon he was settled.
He has learnt a lot through his journey. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. A big thank you to the excellent management and all nursery staff.
There
were a lot of activities which my child enjoyed such as trips to the Zoo, National History Museum and also RAF London. The nursery has an amazing environment, excellent atmosphere and lots of fun. There is cooking club once a week, gardening club and sensory play which made it an exciting place for my child to be in and to learn. I extremely recommend the Buxlow Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Buxlow Preparatory School & Nursery 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.888 for Buxlow Preparatory School & Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 125 Ratings = 4.888

  • 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 Buxlow Preparatory School & Nursery is based on 11 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
