A lovely nursery setting with thought and feeling put into it. Our child has been going since 9 months old and has gone from strength to strength with their development.
The team always listen to your thoughts and feedback and show genuine care for your child's education.

This nursery has been a warm and comforting environment for my child. She has been lucky to have had such a passionate staff team caring for her. Daily feedback about the well-being of my child has always been detailed. Staff delivering it have always exuded enthusiasm and a sense of humour. My child
looks forward to attending the nursery daily. As a result, her cognition has improved tremendously. I firmly believe that the foundation laid here will positively continue to influence her development and educational journey.

So pleased with the progress my child is making. She has bonds with all of the staff members and is very fond of them all in the baby room. All staff are very understanding about the needs of the children and give parents reassurance when needed. The parent app is also amazing, lots of pictures and
feedback on the child's day.

All of the staff have been so welcoming to us as a family. Making our son feel right at home, since day one. I am so impressed with the attention to detail (it’s the little things that really count) and the care that he receives. Choosing a nursery is such an important decision and one that we feel
we have definitely got right for us and our son. They have taken the time and care to get to know us and our son. This means they treat him as an individual and that brings such a quality level of care.

Ashbourne have been amazing supporting my child. They had gone above and beyond to get him settled as quickly as possible as well and ensuring he was comfortable. I can’t fault any of the staff or the nursery as they’ve done a brilliant job. They give the children a sense of responsibility and teach
independence. This is then reflected when my little one arrives home and the changes I’ve noticed within him. Only positives about Ashbourne.

This is my first experience of any nursery setting and I have been so pleased with how well my son has settled into Ashbourne. The staff are lovely and it’s so clear that they really care for my child and he, in turn, loves them too! He always has lots of fun (although all he tells me is that he’s been
dancing). It’s nice to receive updates through the app so I can see the activities he’s been doing. I also love the outdoor space they have and that it’s used often as he loves being outside. The management team are brilliant and very approachable and I can’t wait for my second son to join in the summer.

My son started coming to Ashbourne in March, I was anxious at first as he was a lockdown baby so was unsure how he would find it but he loves it and has so much confidence with other adults and children. He has built some really strong relationships with the staff in the baby room and they are really
helping him with his development. He always comes out at the end of the day happy which is great to see. I would definitely recommend it to other parents!

My son started in May with very little vocabulary, shy, and very clingy. The staff made us feel welcome and they have worked absolute wonders with our little boy. He absolutely loves going to nursery (even when he is not feeling his best) and his vocabulary is building so fast it seems each week he
has at least 2 new words. He loves all the staff and I feel confident that he is well looked after and cared for, I cannot recommend highly enough for a caring environment for your child.

My little boy absolutely loves going to Ashbourne Day Nursery in Fenny Stratford. He is always so happy to see them every morning and when we collect him he's always in a happy mood. He is progressing so quickly in everything from crawling, chatting, building relationships, and just having fun. I would
100% recommend them to everyone, especially his key workers (besties). They always update me on his shenanigans of the day and I also really appreciate the care that goes into his dietary requirements so he's never looking to be different from his friends, there is just so much care and attention to detail they really are so fantastic.

My son has been coming here for a few months now and loves it. When I drop him off in the morning he is happy to go in, all the staff know him and he is happy to see them. When we collect him at the end of the day he is happy and we get a full rundown of what he did and what he ate etc. The staff are
so lovely and really care about my son. He is cared for so well and loves his time at nursery.

My eldest daughter has been attending Ashbourne Nurseries for nearly two years now. Throughout this time she has been looked after by a brilliant team of committed and passionate staff at Ashbourne. She loves going to nursery and spending the day doing a wide range of activities has helped her development
no end. The team in the caterpillars room leave me in no doubt that she will be cared for and looked after every minute she's there. The facilities on site are a lovely environment for the children to play in and the little one is given a wide-ranging offer of quality food throughout the week. I would recommend the nursery to anyone considering childcare in the area, the most important thing for any parent is knowing that their child is cared for and looked after. At Ashbourne, this is always the case.

My daughter attends the Fenny Stratford setting, where I have nothing but good things to say. As an only child at home, she doesn’t often get to spend time playing and socialising with children her own age. She was somewhat shy when she first started nursery in January 2020, but the staff soon helped
her to find herself. Every day she asks if it’s a school day, she loves going. She talks to me about the fun teachers, and what an excellent time she has had with her friends. They have plenty of learning opportunities through play. The environment is safe and staff are friendly and caring. I have full confidence in them when I leave my little one in their care. Great learning place. I couldn’t have chosen a better nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.802)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.802) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Fenny Stratford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.802 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Fenny Stratford is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.802

  • 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 Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Fenny Stratford is based on 18 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
