Staff are really friendly and always greet my child with a smile and always seem positive and happy. My child is provided with delicious lunches and dinners and they have gone out their way to accommodate to my schedule. My child loves going there and is always very busy playing when I collect her at
the end of the day. She seems to have a good connection with the staff and happily goes to them when I drop her off.

With my son starting at the beginning of October I have found the nursery a warm and open environment where both myself and my son have been made to feel welcome. We get great daily feedback from our sons day which helps us to feel included, the variety of food all of which made at the nursery is amazing
and being a free flow nursery it has really encouraged our son's independence and curiosities.

My daughter's been coming to this nursery for a couple of months now, she goes 2 days a week. The amount of love she has for all the staff here is unreal. She has been taught so much and has become a very clever little girl, before she started in the baby room she was a shy little girl. Her leader in
the baby room has done amazing with her as have the rest of the team. The food is made fresh every day on sight and I can safely say looks delicious. I couldn't have picked a better nursery than Child First.

My little girl loves going to Child First Aylesbury Nursery which makes leaving her a whole lot easier. I collect her at different times within our agreed times and I've always been happy with what I find on arrival. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The menus are nutritious and appealing. My little
girl eats very well there. I love that there is a sleep time where she can enjoy a little sleep if she wants. I love that she can have a cuddle if she wants. My little girl appears very happy with nursery and is developing well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Child First for a while now, and we're really pleased with how well he has settled and how much he enjoys his time there.
The settling in sessions were fantastic and helped ease both him and me as a Mum, into the new, scary world of nursery!! It's been made so much easier
for me and alleviated a lot of the 'mum guilt' by knowing he is safe and well cared for. He happily waves goodbye to me each morning and toddles off for a cuddle with his keyworker!
He loves the food and often has seconds, the menu is varied and healthy so I know he's eating well too.
Communication with the nursery is good, they've let me know very quickly when he did once have a bump to the head, and all medical information is recorded well and accurately.
The staff all seem very caring and attentive to the children's needs, and the range of activities they get up to during the day is fantastic.
I'd highly recommend Child First to anyone.

I cannot rate Child First highly enough - we have been using them for more than 8 years - my 3rd child has just moved to preschool from the nursery and when she leaves we will all be very sad to say goodbye to Child First after such a long time. Are they perfect 100% of the time - of course not, they're
human, but on the rare occasion that anything isn't 100%, it is rectified quickly, effectively and professionally. I've lost count of the number of times I have felt so relieved knowing that my child is in their care when I can't be with them and it's so reassuring to see how many of the staff have been there for years, which provides continuity for not only the children, but the parents too. I would (and do!) recommend them to anyone, they are always constantly improving facilities and offering the children new experiences within a safe, fun and welcoming environment.

I'm extremely satisfied with the service in the Nursery, all the staff are very kind and helpful. With their help, my child managed to settle quite quickly and started to look forward to going to the nursery the next day. I've noticed his English improved enormously and he became more independent. He
also enjoyed the delicious food cooked by their chef and offered there.
Can't tell them enough thank you for their support and care!

My 9 month old son has recently started at Child First and so far we are really happy with how he has settled in. I love that lots of information is given to us at the end of the day about everything he has done and eaten. It means that we can see how he is doing on a regular basis. The staff are all
very welcoming and friendly and a pleasure to chat to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

My daughter has settled in quickly. The staff and the management team are very friendly and helpful. The nursery itself is very spacious and inviting. Communication and feedback from key persons is great if key person is not available there is always someone to give feedback at the end of the session.
Overall, very satisfied and definitely recommend it to friends and family!

I can not recommend Child First enough! My little girl has been attending for a year (since she was 9 months old) and she has developed so much in that time. The girls in all the rooms are friendly, hard working and have a genuine care for all the children, not just those that they are specifically
assigned to. She has been nurtured and loved as much as she would have been at home and she loves going to nursery every day. As well as the nurturing side of the nursery, she has also developed so many skills since joining. She has social skills that she would not have developed at home on her own with me, and she is a really independent little girl, happy to feed herself, entertain herself and play with others. I can't thank the team enough for making leaving my little girl every day to go to work an easy and pleasant experience.

From the moment we first made contact, through to day by day attending nursery, all the staff have been friendly, welcoming and helpful. We received all the information we could need prior to joining and we always receive a full account of our child's day from our key worker! It is a happy, fun and
safe environment and we are so happy we chose Child First as our nursery. I go to work with peace of mind that our child is in the best care!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.962) out of 10 for Child First Aylesbury Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.240 for Child First Aylesbury Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.24
  2. 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 4.722 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Child First Aylesbury Nursery is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.722
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
