I have been supporting my son/daughter in law during the weeks before and shortly after their 2nd baby arrived. A part of this has involved taking my grandson to Field House Nursery. ALL staff from the moment the door was opened to me until I left a few weeks later, have been warm, welcoming & friendly
as well as helpful with specific queries. My Grandson charms them with a smile and I feel he is loved by them - important when leaving a precious one! He comes home happily after a good day - salient points are communicated well.
I can't recommend Field House highly enough (I am a professionally trained Nanny too so have much experience!!)

My son has recently started in the bumble bee room and since starting in there he is thriving. His speech has come on so much as well as playing with other children and making friends. When picking my son up I can see how happy he is and the regular updates on the app is also really reassuring as well
as seeing him learning and developing with his key worker. The team always give a warm welcome in the morning on drop off and always give great feedback in the evening of what my son has been up too! We could not be happier with choosing Field House!

My son has attended Field House for over two years and loves it! Each room move has been very smooth with regular visits to help him settle and he's always settled so well. The staff have always been caring and interested in what he has been doing away from nursery too. During his time at Field House
he has made some really nice friendships with other children. I can't fault the nursery and the care they have given my son during his time with them.

The team at Field House are truly exceptional! From the admin team to the amazing staff in my daughter's room, everyone goes above and beyond to make your family feel welcome and there is a real sense of being treated as an individual rather than a number. The knowledge and expertise of the staff working
with my daughter is fantastic and they are very clear about her next steps and how to support her best. Before my daughter started, they went to great lengths to make sure they really knew her and this made the transition very smooth. As a parent, I also felt incredibly reassured. Each day they take time to answer any queries and share any special highlights from the day. They are always enthusiastic and kind even after a busy day and work tirelessly to ensure every child has a positive experience. Their commitment and dedication is superb and we couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery.

An outstanding nursery. Our son has thrived at Fieldhouse. He is always excited to arrive and we always collect him happy. The staff are attentive caring and get to know and understand your child as an individual. Communication with parents is always detailed and thorough. He always enjoys the food
as well as the great outdoor facilities. He always comes home with lots of stories to tell! We could not be happier and look forward to sending our daughter later this year. Thank you Fieldhouse.

The staff go above and beyond to give the best care and learning experience to the children in their setting. The staff know each child on a personal level and learning is often focused around your child's interests. My children adore coming to nursery and feel safe and loved. I couldn't recommend this
nursery anymore. Truly outstanding.

My son absolutely loves coming to Field House, it's a lovely home-from-home environment that seems to have a constant investment in new toys and activities for the kids. My son particularly loves forest school and often tells me what he's been up to. It's reassuring that when he has some separation
anxiety during drop-off the staff will upload a photo of him happy and at play on the parent zone app to allay my concerns. The wide variety of home-cooked fresh food is an added bonus as it's often difficult to make home-cooked meals each night whilst juggling my own busy work/life.

Care is always fantastic, my daughter has grown in confidence since starting at Fieldhouse, and she has developed excellent relationships with the staff in her room and also with her peers. The nursery has greatly assisted us with milestones and offered advice whenever we requested it. Our daughter
completes a range of activities, all of which seem to engage her really well and are helping her intellectual development. She brings home lots of pictures, linked to a variety of topics that the nursery is engaging with. The menu is excellent and offers a variety of healthy and nutritious foods that our daughter enjoys. Overall I highly recommend this nursery for the caring, compassionate learning environment that they foster.

Since my grandson has started nursery he has come on leaps and bounds, he has settled in so well into the baby room due to the fantastic team that have gone above and beyond to ensure all of my grandsons needs are met. From being welcomed on reception with a friendly face to walking to the baby I am
always greeted by the staff and always made to feel welcome. We are so pleased with the nursery my daughter has chosen to take our grandson to and I could not recommend enough.

We have had all four of our children attend Field House over the years, and the staff have always been incredibly welcoming and supportive to us as parents and to our children. We have chosen Field House continuously over the years as their standards of care to our children has always been to a very
high standard and has never altered. It’s always difficult trusting others to create an environment which is safe and nurturing but Field House achieve this effortlessly. I highly recommend Field House as a nursery and preschool.

My son recently joined the nursery. The staff were excellent at helping him settle in particularly as there were lots of changes for him at home. I love the detailed feedback, the staff are always friendly and take a person-centred approach. My son loves it there and does a range of activities. We have
seen him grow and develop more since we changed childcare providers to Field House. Admin and reception staff are also very responsive and helpful.

We are so glad we chose Feild House for our daughter. It is a huge decision to trust people you do not know to take care of your precious child; all the staff seem to understand this huge leap of faith and put part and child at ease on a daily basis. They achieve this by being friendly, caring, responsive
and showing a genuine interest - they really know my daughter. Little things, such as noticing when she has new shoes really show they care. They all do an incredible job, and it means we can go to work safely in the knowledge she is in such capable, caring hands. Thank you.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 8 months old, as he is moving through the rooms, every staff member has been helpful, supportive and taken excellent care of my child. He spends time doing fun activities that I otherwise would not have time to do with him.
From the staff at the entrance
desk to the staff in the rooms, everyone is polite, friendly and knowledgeable.

My daughter settled in the ladybirds room in December and I remember feeling so nervous but I had no reason to be.
Every single staff member is so welcoming and friendly and I can tell they genuinely care so much for my daughter and the other children.
I love coming in and hearing about all the things
my daughter has gotten up to - from singing, dancing, what lovely meals she's had and her progression. Thank you for all your hard work!

We feel so lucky to have sent our children to Field House. From the moment you walk into the door the team are welcoming, friendly and nurturing to the children. There is always a smile and a happy reception.
In the rooms, the key workers are dedicated and supportive of all the children and as a parent,
I believe that they genuinely care about the health, wellbeing and development of my children. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the activities to keep the children stimulated and challenged - with a lot of fun thrown in too!
From a SEN perspective, the support we have received from Field House has blown us away. The team have without exception been kind, knowledgeable and understanding as we navigate through this different pathway together.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Field House Day Nursery (Buckingham) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.846 for Field House Day Nursery (Buckingham) is calculated as follows: ( (330 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.846

  • 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 Field House Day Nursery (Buckingham) is based on 30 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8, which has been reached with 30 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.
