My child started mid term due to a relocation to London, I saw two previous nurseries in the area and Buckingham First Nursery was the last one for us to see. I instantly knew we had found the right one from the moment I walked through the door!


It is a fabulous nursery, the staff and owners are

so professional, friendly, caring and compassionate and most importantly approachable, the children are taught in such creative and innovative ways. From entering the building you are greeted with a warm welcome from all staff, everything there is of a high standard. My child has integrated into his new nursery so well and enjoys going daily, and now is slightly obsessed with the new 'mud kitchen'!


I would recommend this nursery 100%, credit to the owners who have created a beautiful, fun learning environment for young children.


Reply from Jun Man, Director at Buckingham First Nursery

It has been our absolute pleasure in being a part of your child's Early Years journey and able to make your relocation to London just that bit easier!

The best choice I made for my daughter, who continues to thrive at Buckingham First.
The staff are caring, attentive, happy and professional, which I believe has created such a lovely environment.
The building is immaculate, interactive and fun for the children, who are always smiling and enjoying
themselves when I see them.
I would highly recommend this nursery, 100 times over, couldn't be happier.

This is a beautiful place, a brand new nursery with lots of facilities for playing and learning with a different room for babies. They do lots of activities that my son really enjoys. Everyday they cook fresh healthy meals for the children. All the teachers are very friendly, caring, happy and they
pay good attention to each child, making them build up their confidence. Also, the management is great. I believe this nursery will be a success!

Buckingham First Nursery is an exemplary nursery. All the staff are extremely kind, caring and helpful. It is thanks to them my daughter settled in immediately. They teach her new skills and she is interested in everything they do and loves going there. The staff keep me informed daily of my daughter's

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.675)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.675) out of 10 for Buckingham First 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.970 for Buckingham First Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.97

  • 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 4.705 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buckingham First 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.705

  • 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.
