The staff are understanding when my child was upset and they keep giving him care as it took a long time to settle but big step for every kid when they join the first time. Nice modern nursery very appealing and a nice place to be.

My son has been at this nursery for over 2 years now and absolutely loves it. He comes home with stories of all the exciting things he has done that day. I am always impressed with the cleanliness and facilities they have at the nursery including the garden which my son loves to play in every day. The
staff are kind and friendly and are always coming up with new and exciting things for the children to do each day.

With this being my first child, finding the right nursery for us was very important to me. Upon our show around my first impressions were very clean, organised, friendly staff and had an overall warm feeling. The staff made settling-in sessions easy for both me and my daughter and gave updates through
the app to let me know how she was getting on. Fast forward 6 months and she absolutely loves walking into nursery to see her little friends, the staff always set up great activities, the food always sounds amazing and I love that I can still check up on her throughout the day via the online app. Every time I collect her she has a big smile on her face and as a parent, I don’t think you could ask for much more. Lovely nursery and very friendly staff.

Our son is so happy at Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe. He is always happy to go and I know he is so well cared for there. He started at 11 months and now age 3 has made some lovely friends. He tells us all about his day and stories about what he got up to with friends and staff.
The
staff know him really well and this is important to me.
I highly recommend them and have no reservations about sending my second in a few month's time too.

My daughter has been a member of Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe for over a year. It allowed me to return to work with peace of mind knowing she was being cared for by a wonderful, personable and caring team. We have had the same key worker which has been brilliant for my daughter as she
has developed a lovely relationship and bond. I couldn't be more grateful to the wonderful staff at Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery and the care they have provided this past year.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery full time for just over a year now, and we have been so happy with our decision to send her here. She has such a good bond with her key worker, and the other staff in her room, and we regularly get detailed updates about her progress and how each day has been/what
shes been up to. The children have lots of different learning opportunities and experiences and the staff support the children to follow their own interests. She is due to move up into the next room soon and the staff have been very supportive in helping her settle into the new room and transition to a new key worker.

We fell in love with Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe on our first visit. It's such a calm and safe environment for our twins. A nicely designed, clean modern space with a great, varied and nutritious menu and lots of different spaces for the kids to explore. The staff have been amazingly
considerate and are all really lovely. We get weekly updates and pictures of their progress through the app about all the learning opportunities they've taken part in. Plus daily updates in person at pick up time. Can't recommend it enough. We're so happy we found such a great place for our little ones' development.

This nursery has been a blessing to our little one. He has come very far in himself from going two days a week. From being a lot more interactive with adults and kids and being encouraged into learning new exciting things.
Would recommend it to friends and family.

Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe are amazing. They have really helped my son as he has a speech delay. They have been amazing with him by helping him with his speech, interacting with tasks and other children. He started off in the toddler room and progressed to the preschool room and he
has done so well for the past one and a half years hes been there. They are so friendly and caring and put 100% into what they do.
They have been so amazing.
I would recommend Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe to my friends and family for how amazing they are.

Nursery is great, they utilise the app to notify you of what your child has eating on a daily basis and what they have been doing regularly. To improve, as I have previously suggested, would be to plan their month ahead and publish the events. The downside of the app is that the news events pop up in
chronological order so if you miss one then you need to go back through all posts to find what you need. There are things that pop up randomly like PJ day or bring a bear day, but if you don't mark the date straight away it can be difficult to find the info again.

My little boy has been at the nursery since he was as a year old. He settled in right away, through various nap transitions and room changes, to extended hours without any issues. He is always happy when I collect him and his development has really thrived. He went from nonverbal to now producing sentences
and has become a very outgoing, confident boy with a high interest in new learning opportunities. The team are all welcoming and lovely and I'm happy with the nursery setting as a whole. Definitely recommend.

I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. My son has been attending for the last 14 months and he loves it there. His development has come on so much since being at nursery, from speech to eating a variety of foods to his social skills.
The staff are friendly, professional and responsive to
any requests. They treat the whole family as important and takes an interest on how siblings who don't attend yet are getting on.
Having updates through the app has been brilliant to see what he has been up to during the day/week and reviews monthly of his development.
They also think of all the extra touches to celebrate different dates and events through the year.
I am so pleased we chose to send our son here.

It is just over a year since we moved to the area and needed a day nursery for our then 20 months old daughter.
Having visited other nurseries in the area, I connected quite quickly and comfortably with Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery from the first day we visited. The staff were so helpful, getting
us onboarded and most importantly were willing to assist us in every way possible.
We have seen a tremendous all round growth in our daughter who is now 32 months. She loves going to nursery and always returns home happy. She has formed a strong bond with staff and has made many good friends too.
I rest assured that I can follow her progress throughout the day via the nursery app and can also get timely updates of how she's doing in other daily activities which also highlights her achievements and milestones. I find these updates very useful.
Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe has been a good choice for our daughter and I totally recommended it for anyone looking for a day nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.869)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) out of 10 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.869 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (364 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 406 Ratings = 4.869

  • 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 Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe is based on 33 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 33 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.
