Review of
Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central
from E W (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was one year old. The staff have always been caring, supportive, and know her extremely well.
She previously attended another nursery where I was frequently contacted because she struggled to settle. However, this has never been an issue at Ashbourne.

The staff manage her needs very well and allow her to feel comfortable and settled throughout the day.
I am also very impressed with the nursery's security. If someone else is collecting my daughter, the procedures are very thorough, which gives me great peace of mind.
Overall, my daughter is very happy and loves attending the nursery.

Reply from Carly Stimpson, Nursery manager at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes CentralThank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 4-star review. We're really pleased to hear that you & your child have had a positive experience with us, & we truly appreciate your kind words.

We're always looking for ways to improve, so if there's anything we could do to make your experience a full 5 stars, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Please don't hesitate to speak to a member of the management team.

Thank you again for your support.

Overall Experience

My little boy started at Ashbourne Day Nurseries in October 25 and he settled in so quickly! All the staff have been amazing, supportive, and attentive. He began attending 2 days a week and has now increased to 3 days, and the difference in him is incredible - such a happy little boy! The nursery is

very responsive if you need to contact them. I would highly recommend Ashbourne Day Nurseries to anyone looking for a caring and professional environment for their child.

Overall Experience

The nursery staff are wonderful! My daughter struggled to settle in to nursery at first, and now she is so excited to see each and every one of them at morning drop off. She's tried lots of new foods at lunch time, and we can see her becoming more sociable as the weeks go on. I feel so relaxed leaving

my daughter there when I go to work, and have no concerns. A wonderful team who plan so many activities for the kids, and keep the parents updated with photos all week.

Overall Experience

So happy with this lovely nursery. The staff have gone above & beyond in supporting my child with his needs and they are always so cheerful, helpful and positive. My child loves attending and we feel confident leaving him knowing he's safe and nurtured. The snacks and dinners provided are nutritious

and varied, and the fees are reasonable and great value for what is included.
The manager is very approachable, she is really understanding and kind. Thank you to all the staff at Ashbourne, we really appreciate everything that you do!

Review of
Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Swanbourne
from J H (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My child has been attending this nursery since he was 12 months old and a lot has changed since then. There appears to be a high turnover of staff which can unsettle the children and I think it's taken a while for the nursery to adjust to change. It would be nice to see some of the actions being implemented

following the Ofsted inspection but they seem to be outstanding yet nursery prices have continued to rise, which is incredibly frustrating. However, I think the staff genuinely care for the children and this is lovely to see.

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at SwanbourneThank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We recognise that periods of change can be unsettling, particularly in an environment where consistency is so important, and we appreciate your patience while adjustments are made. We're committed to strengthening stability within our teams and to ensuring that actions identified through inspection are meaningfully embedded, not just documented.
We're also grateful that you've recognised the care and commitment shown by the team. The relationships staff build with children are at the heart of what we do, and that genuine care remains central as we continue to improve and move forward.

Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Bricket Wood
from T G (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A wonderfully friendly nursery with plenty of activities for the little ones; I have been very happy with how well both my children bonded with their carers (the younger often talks about both staff and other children he has enjoyed playing with, and while the elder child has left for school, they are

still happy and excited when they visit).
The staff are all very helpful and try their best to accommodate changes (within reason!) and assist with any specific issues (such as nap-dropping and toilet training) whenever I have asked.

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Bricket WoodThank you for sharing this with us. At Ashbourne, we place a lot of importance on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and families, so it's really reassuring to hear that this has been reflected in your experience. The team take great care in supporting children through different stages and working closely with parents along the way, and feedback like this means a great deal to them. Thank you for being part of our nursery community.

Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Padgate
from L S (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I went for a show round at padgate this week and it was amazing. We have viewed other nurseries but Padgate was the best we have seen. The manager was lovely and gave us all the relevant information about the rooms, staff, resources, the areas they have set up and the routines for the nursery. All the

staff in the room were very smiley and looked happy to be there and it was so nice to see so much positivity from the manager, staff and children and to see the staff engaged with the children. I absolutely love the idea of the children telling you how they feel when they arrive and how you focus on their feelings and allowing them to learn about it. I was made to feel like my child will be valued and cared for instead of being just another number in the setting and i couldn't ask for any more.

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at PadgateThank you for sharing your experience. Making sure families feel genuinely welcomed and confident in the care their child will receive is incredibly important to us, so it's lovely to hear that this came across during your visit. The focus on emotional wellbeing, positive routines and treating every child as an individual sits at the heart of what we do. We're so pleased that Padgate felt like the right place for your family.

Review of
Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Adderbury
from B F (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My two children are full time at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Adderbury and are thriving. The staff are extremely caring and engaging with the children. My eldest had very bad separation anxiety when she first started but the staff were excellent with her and she soon settled in and has developed special

bonds with all of the staff. Both children have come on leaps and bounds since being at the nursery and it has helped them to become very confident and social and have excellent manners. The staff do a range of activities with the children and ensure they are doing what they can to meet the requisite milestones. The staff show exceptional empathy, compassion and care for the children and are always happy to work with parents and children if extra support is needed. I have full confidence that the children are well looked after and cared for and would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to others (and have done so).

Reply from Marketing Team, Marketing at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at AdderburyThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We're delighted to hear how well both of your children are thriving at Ashbourne Adderbury. It's wonderful to know that our team's care, empathy and support have made such a positive difference-especially in helping your eldest settle in and feel secure.

We're pleased that you've seen such strong progress in their confidence, social skills and development, and that the range of activities and milestone-focused support are benefiting them. Our team truly values building strong partnerships with families, so your confidence in us means a great deal.

Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending the nursery to others. We're proud to be part of your children's early years journey.

Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Cheshunt
from Den C (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I highly recommend Ashbourne Day Nurseries- Cheshunt. From the start, they made both my son and me feel completely comfortable, which means so much when it's so hard for parents to find a nursery they truly trust. The team is always transparent and honest, and I really appreciated being able to call

as often as I needed in those early days without ever being made to feel uncomfortable.

Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care for my child-and all the children-has been outstanding. I'm so grateful for the peace of mind they've given me and for the supportive, nurturing environment they create every day.

Reply from Marketing Team, Marketing at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at CheshuntThank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. We're delighted to hear that you and your son have felt so comfortable and supported from the very beginning. Building trust with families is incredibly important to us, and it's wonderful to know that our team's openness, communication and genuine care have made a positive difference during those early settling-in days.

We truly appreciate your kind words about the nurturing environment we strive to create each day. Thank you for your recommendation and for placing your trust in Ashbourne Cheshunt.

Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Adderbury
from Alex F (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started at Adderbury at a year and a half and stayed there until he left school recently, and my daughter started a few months ago at 11 months. I cannot express what a lovely environment this is, an absolute home away from home. The staff, from key workers to managers know each and every child

so well and the love and care is palpable. The nursery is fantastic in its communication with parents and I can't recommend it enough. It can be such a nerve wracking and emotional thing leaving your child in the care of others, but Adderbury makes this transition as easy as it can be.

Reply from Marketing Team, Marketing at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at AdderburyThank you for such a heartfelt review. It means so much to hear that both of your children have had such positive experiences at Adderbury. Creating a true "home away from home" is at the heart of what we do, and we're delighted that this has been reflected throughout your family's journey with us.

We're especially grateful for your kind words about our team and the strong relationships they build with every child. Knowing that our communication and support have helped make those early transitions easier is truly rewarding.

Review of
Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Barking
from Nadia M (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending since August 2023 and they helped her settle in with lots of care and attention. She has grown fond of several staff members during her time here and made friends. They do lots of activities, singing, playing, and arts&crafts etc. Lunch/ snacks are varied everyday.

Some flexibility would have been great when needing to swap nursery days with advanced notice, however, I believe most nurseries follow the same procedure. The only thing we don"t like is having to pay extra for "early start" when this used to be included before and our daughter is usually picked up early too so the full hours are not even being used.

Overall, we are happy with our daughter attending Ashbourne, Barking.

Reply from Marketing Team, Marketing at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at BarkingThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your daughter has settled well and built such positive relationships with our team and her peers. It's great to know she enjoys the range of activities and that you're happy with the care and environment we provide.

We appreciate your comments regarding flexibility with session swaps and the early start fee. While our procedures align with sector standards, we understand how these points can impact families and we will take your feedback into consideration as we continue reviewing our processes.

Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for trusting us with your daughter's early years journey. We're delighted to be part of her growth and development at Ashbourne, Barking.

Overall we've had a lovely experience so far at Ashbourne. Our son is always happy to go in and they do a lot to keep them busy and entertained with varied activities. All the carers know him well and there is a nice family feel to it. We often receive updates and photos of what they're up to during

Keep up the good work!
