Cedars Day Nursery is the most sought-after nursery in Leighton Buzzard - and when you witness their provision you can understand why. My daughter has attended since she was 11months old and I always know she's in really good hands.
Caring staff - everyone is been so kind, warm and professional. Staff stay for a long time and are very experienced.
Strong communication - on the app you can see pictures, updates on meals, naps and nappy changes. The app is kept up-to-date and it gives me peace of mind that I can see what my daughter's been up to throughout the day. They send weekly bulletins with updates and support, including free classes parents can attend; we loved the First Aid training and Speech & Language sessions. There's a parent forum too.
Environment - every room has its own garden, with fantastic outdoor activities to stimulate and learn.
Safeguarding - they take safeguarding very seriously with good oversight from management.
We receive regular updates via the app, including photos. The communication with parents is excellent, including newsletters, and queries are promptly responded to. There are opportunities for parents to get involved, including parent evenings, parent forums and stay and play sessions.
Thank you for the outstanding care provided - our child loves attending nursery!
Also big shout out to some of the other wonderful staff Julie,Oliver,Nive,Molly,the two clares and two Anna's and of course leading front of house Suzy and Miriam.You are all Amazing at your job!Thank you so much!There is many more to thank too but grateful to each and everyone of you that provides such great care and service!
We and our son love Cedars. The staff are so patient and kind and our son thrives in their care. It was very hard putting him in for 5 days when he had only just turned one but he settled in well and the staff were absolutely amazing. Our son is a bit of a koala baby but the team were so understanding and make sure he gets lots of hugs as and when he needs them. His confidence has soared since he started and its so wonderful to see how well he interacts with the other children. He is happy, healthy and well looked after, everything we could ask for and would recommend this nursery to anyone who asks!
Our daughter has attended Cedars since she was very young and has loved every room she's been in while flourishing under the amazing team. As parents we always feel very reassured and happy with our daughters progress. From the lovely outdoor spaces that the children play in to the food, staff and management, we have no complaints!
Best nursery in Leighton Buzzard. The staff are lovely and really care for the children. I feel that my child is safe and properly cared for and I like the updates through the app that let me see how he's getting on in the day.
We love Cedars! The staff are attentive, kind and can't do enough to help you. My son started in September and since then, they have helped us to support him through welcoming a new sibling, and they're now helping us with potty training too! The food is nutritious, and the nursery celebrate a multitude of cultural holidays and festivals throughout the year. They have a huge outdoor space which we love, as well as planned themed activities for indoors. We'd recommend cedars to anyone!
Our daughter started here in August 2024 aged two, after we moved to the area. From the start she has thrived, growing in confidence and learning new skills. The care is excellent and we are always kept informed. Any issues are quickly dealt with. This is a place that she loves coming to and leaves each day with stories to tell. We have experienced two prior nurseries and Cedars definitely sets the bar; we highly recommend it. Both keyworkers (Aurora, Mollie) my daughter has had have been excellent too: they really got to know her little personality and bring her out of her shell. She will miss Cedars when she leaves for big school this September, but we are all happy that her little brother will be joining shortly after.
We had a very good experience keeping both of our children at Cedars Nursery, our oldest son was there for 3 years and the youngest were there for 6 months. There was a good personal care for both children and they developed well while they were there.
My little girl started in September 2025 at Cedars and we could not be happier with the care that's provided for her. The staff are so friendly and efficient at their jobs, and so much effort went into my little girl settling in and now she absolutely loves it! Cedars is an incredible nursery and I don't think we could find anywhere better.
We honestly couldn't be happier with our experience at Cedars Nursery. From the very beginning, it's been such a positive place for our daughter. She absolutely loves coming in every day, and the difference in her confidence since she started has been amazing to see.
Every room she's been in has been fantastic, and each stage has felt just right for her development. The staff truly make this place special - they are all so kind, caring and genuinely invested in the children. You can really feel how much they love what they do, and that means everything as a parent.
She has made some lovely friends here and talks about them all the time. It's so reassuring to know she feels happy, safe and supported. We've watched her grow not just in confidence, but in independence, communication and curiosity too, and we honestly believe the nursery has played a huge part in that.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff for everything you do - we're so grateful!
We absolutely love Cedars nursery. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the children, which gives us real peace of mind. Our daughter is happy, settled, and always excited to go in each day. The activities are engaging and well thought out, and communication with parents is excellent. We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment.
Cedars in Leighton Buzzard are absolutely brilliant. My daughter graduated in the summer and my youngest is currently in Ladybirds, and our experience across both has been consistently wonderful. Every member of the team is warm, kind and genuinely caring, and both of my children have built such strong, trusting bonds with their key workers - which says everything.
The thought and effort that goes into the activities is fantastic. There's such a lovely balance of learning, creativity and play, and I'm so grateful for the experiences they provide that I simply wouldn't manage to recreate at home. It's clear how much care goes into supporting each child's development as an individual.
Most importantly, I have complete peace of mind every single day. From drop-off to pick-up, I know my children are safe, happy and very well looked after. Thank you to the whole Cedars team for creating such a nurturing environment and for giving my children the very best start to their learning and play.
My daughters motor and language skills have developed thanks to the staff being so interactive + enhancing her skills. Thank you to all the staff that have made my child feel welcome and safe.
Our son (15 months) started Cedars in October and the experience has been so brilliant for us all already. As soon as we had a tour we knew we wanted him to go here so we were so pleased to have a place offered. There is a warmth and friendliness from every staff member you meet which is unmatched by other settings. Staff have really taken the time to get to know our son and he has really warmed to them, particularly his key worker. He is clearly thriving there and is very happy to be there. We don't get tears at drop off and he has sometimes been reluctant to leave his key worker's knee at pick up! Some parents might find this heartbreaking but this tells me everything I need to know about the care and attention he's receiving. We get a lot of photo updates through the day which is brilliant, and the thought and creativity that goes into the daily activities is really inspiring. I love that he has something new to interact with every day. Thank you so much.
Every stage of our child's journey was handled with so much thought and kindness, helping them grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity. The activities have been creative, engaging, and perfectly balanced between fun and learning, and we have loved seeing our child thrive both socially and academically.
What has stood out most is the genuine love and commitment of the whole team. The staff don't just care for the children-they nurture them, celebrate them, and encourage them to be the best version of themselves. The inclusive and welcoming environment has given our child such a rich foundation of respect and understanding for others, which we truly value.
Leaving feels like the end of a very special chapter, and we know our child will carry the happiest memories from their time here.
My boys have only just started at Cedars Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard this week and I'm touched by the positive, nurturing and welcoming week they've had. The staff are incredibly friendly, warm and helpful, and the updates/daily pictures are so heartwarming as I know my boys are receiving well-rounded exposure to so many enriching activities to support their development. My boys have settled in so well and I trust they will continue to excel and enjoy their time here. Im super happy we finally got a space here and look forward to seeing what the future holds. Anything rated good at this stage is only because it's our first week but Im confident we'll continue to have an excellent experience throughout
As soon as we stepped into Cedars on our first visit, we knew we would love it and that our daughter would thrive! The staff are absolutely amazing: they do their job with such love and dedication every single day and the environment is so nurturing and welcoming, whether it is the ladies at reception, in management, or the carers, they are absolutely fantastic. From day one the whole of Cedars knew our daughter's name and made her feel so safe and welcomed! Every day they take the time to give you a full debrief on how the day went, they make things so easy and they really adapt to your child's needs. We know for sure our daughter is in good hands when we leave her in the morning. The way they engage children in all the various and creative activities is amazing, they also closely follow how your child develops and always have suggestions of what to do to make things better. Communication is always clear and easy.There are no other nurseries we would want her to attend!
We are so over the moon happy with Cedars Day Nursery (Leighton Buzzard) for our daughter (2.5 yrs). Every single member of staff is fantastic and you can tell daily how much they care for the children and make every day the best it can be. Specifically, I'd like to mention one member of staff in particular in the Bumblebees room. She's faultless and loves and cares for our daughter like her own. We couldn't be happier with her.
Our daughter moved to Cedars Day Nursery in September and has settled so well. She absolutely loves her key worker. The nursery keep you well informed about what the children get up to during the day. They do so many different activities, it's fantastic.
