Cedars Day Nursery (Leighton Buzzard)

Great facilities, lovely location and dedicated staff. My son had a wonderful time, learning and having fun. Having meals provided was also a huge advantage. We were particularly pleased with how the team looked after our son - as he developed a lot through play and activities at nursery.

I have used the nursery for both my daughters now and have no complaints at all. They both loved the nursery and all the staff. I would most definitely recommend to anyone.

My children have had the best time at Cedars. We are amazed at how they have developed and we will be very sad to say goodbye. Thanks so much for all you have done.

My daughter always has a smile on her face when I pick her up from the nursery. Very pleased with the staff and all the varied activities they provide.

The nursery provides everything we could ask for, for our daughter. The staff are brilliant with the children - very helpful and friendly. They know how to engage children in each room. The food is outstanding and our daughter eats very well at nursery. The opening hours are great for commuting parents, not to mention that everything is provided for the children.

Absolutely brilliant! All the staff have been nothing but amazing this year and the past 2.5 years my twins have attended Cedars. They leave to start 'big school' in September and we will be most sad to leave. We have gained many friends and take away many happy memories. Thank you.

It's the most organised, focused on the children nursery. I was lucky to find a placement for my daughter. The staff are brilliant and all the activities targeting learning. They also are very kind in helping with any issues comes up with the children. Very person-centred approach. I have no words really. I hope they were running also an elementary school!!

This nursery is absolutely outstanding and I am so glad that I chose it the first time round for my daughter. She started when she was a year old and she is now 4 and starting school in September. I couldn't have asked for her to have been better looked after. The staff there are all absolutely amazing and are all so friendly and caring and generally remarkably good at their job. I would never consider sending my children to any other nursery, in fact, my little boy started there in January and he's one and he has already come along leaps and bounds throughout the four months he has been there which is incredible. In my opinion most definitely the best nursery around. I feel at complete ease knowing that my children and being well looked after and cared for whilst I am working. Thank you team Cedars for everything you have done and continue to do for my little girl and everything you are currently doing for my little man, I couldn't ask for anything more.

Cedars has been nothing but excellent in all respects. In my professional capacity, I am the CEO of a children's charity. So I have a professional interest in the standards of childcare organisations. The location people and facilities are brilliant, I could not be happier with the team responsible for the care of my child. Truly a childcare professional establishment. From the front door to the individual rooms and catering team, all are what I expect from a childcare business. I would recommend (and have done to friends and family) the standard delivered at Cedars L/ Buzzard.

Cedars have been excellent in all aspects of care for my daughter. All the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and professional and have made leaving my daughter to go back to work as easy as it could be.

My only criticism would be the speed at which updates are added to Parentzone as I love receiving them but I appreciate this must be difficult with the number of children that are cared for.

I feel so happy that I can drop my most precious off in the morning and feel completely confident that he is safe, happy and well looked after all day. I used to feel guilty if I finished work early and didn't immediately pick him up but soon realised that in fact he loves being there so much he sometimes wanted to stay longer. Everyone is so friendly and helpful that it makes an easy and nice experience of an important part of our lives.

Both my son and daughter have attended this nursery and have loved being there. The staff are lovely, caring and understanding. I especially liked the outside space and the varied activities. I feel that the nursery has helped grow their confidence and they have also built some lovely friendships there. I would certainly recommend this nursery.

I cannot praise the staff enough at Cedars Day Nursery for how well they have taken care of and supported my daughter. The whole environment that has been created for the children is nurturing, vibrant, safe and welcoming. Every member of staff would greet my daughter by her name, even those who weren't directly involved in her class. I think that makes her feel a sense of belonging and makes the nursery feel more personal, with a community feel. She has come such a long way since she started and the nursery has helped give her a confidence and self-assurance for the future.

My daughter has attended Cedars since just before she was 1 and has become a sociable, intelligent and loving young lady thanks to the help and guidance of the staff. She loves coming to nursery and has built an amazing bond with every key worker she has had in each room. She is now in the Preschool room and is thriving and coming along leaps and bounds in her development. I will be very sad when she leaves nursery to start school next year as the care we receive is second to none!!! They most definitely deserve their Outstanding rating.

Last but not least, the management policy in Cedars is professional, it covers almost all situations for most babies. To summarise, we would very much like to recommend Cedars Nursery to all the other parents.

Thank you, Cedars!

Thank you so much to all involved!

I was confident that my son was safe, which was my number one priority. Most room staff were very friendly and caring.

I did not consider that the menu any more than paying 'lip service' to the idea of healthy eating - cakes, pies, crumbles and various puddings seemed to be served on a very routine basis. I opted out of these things for my son and he was provided with either yoghurt or fruit - but surely this would be more appropriate for all the other children too.

Cleanliness of the toilets used by the children was often poor. Elsewhere cleanliness seemed fine.

My son has attended Cedars since he was 9 months old (April 2014). I have been thoroughly satisfied with the care right from the start. The standards, environment and attention to detail have had a huge positive impact on his development and has made him more than ready to face the big wide world of school!

I cannot recommend Cedars highly enough. Management work very hard at making sure the room teams are strong and offer a range of skills and personality types. Bonding and attachment with key workers is very strong and communication with parents is excellent. Staff are, without, fail cheerful and communicative and also knowledgeable about their practice and the children in their care. Children's independence is fostered through all daily activities and they take part in an impressive range of activities, including using external partners to deliver dance and music and physical education. Rooms are always busy and purposeful; the garden space is well used and children go outside in all weathers. As a parent, I feel part of a Cedars community and both of my children have benefitted hugely from their time there.
