I can highly recommend The Priory Day nursery. My little boy has been attending since January 2023, and absolutely loves it. They cater a wide range of food for snacks, lunches and teas, the girls there are so lovely and he comes come smiling every day, he has come on leaps and bounds since starting.
Communication is great, and feel that any questions or concerns are dealt with immediately.
100% would recommend to anyone in the area needing childcare.

I couldn’t be happier with the Priory Day Nursery. My son has loved his time there. The staff are amazing, very friendly and caring, they supported my son and the family with his settling in, potty training and any concerns brought up at his different learning stages. My son is now a happy and confident
boy thanks to this nursery.

Very happy with my experience at Priory Day Nursery so far. All staff are kind and welcoming and my little one has built great relationships with them. My little one is now 3 years old and has learnt a lot from nursery such as putting on her own shoes and coat. My little one always has a happy story
to share about her day in nursery. They have great communication as they always inform me about my little one's day such as what she ate, how much she ate and sleep times. This has been so useful as I can understand my little one's routine. They have also been very accommodating to me as a working mum meaning that I am stress-free. Overall, I can say that the nursery has had a positive impact on my little ones' development. She learns a lot and really enjoys the fun and warm atmosphere that comes from the lovely staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started slightly later due to being placed in another nursery which did not work out for him.
We visited Priory Day and was immediately impressed.
My son struggles in certain areas and was also mute when starting. He has come on leaps and bounds thanks to his teaches. And also speaks perfectly.
The nursery in my eyes meets every child's needs and I have zero faults.
My son has enjoyed his time at Priory Day and we couldn't thank the staff enough for the past year.
Amazing overall.

I am very satisfied, my little girl has accommodation problems after a big trauma at another nursery, I thought she would never stay anywhere else, but to my surprise, she likes it very much. The staff is very professional and knows how to help her! I didn't move out of the city just to be able to continue
nursery here I highly recommend them they are the best in High Wycombe.

Review from Matthew W (Father of Child) published on 25 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so pleased to have chosen Priory Day Nursery as our son has settled very well thanks to the amazing staff. After a couple of weeks, he really engaged with the rhythm of the nursery. It is very apparent that the staff take really good care of the children’s wellbeing, giving lots of cuddles and
affection. It really feels like they pay attention to each child’s individual needs whilst still integrating them into the overall nursery routine. Children’s development is at the heart of what they do, and they do so in a fun and engaging way through games/songs /garden play/messy play/ stories etc. The ey log is extremely useful day to day for keeping in touch with what your child is doing on a day-to-day basis.
We are so impressed to see our son develop so much in such a short space of time.
Thank you

My son settled so quickly. The staff are so friendly and caring, they supported me whilst I was potty training and offered great advice. My son has built confidence and has learned so much since attending this nursery. I know this as each time we came home he would tell me what he had done and I would
hear him singing new songs or counting or reenacting. He always looked forward to attending and always said lovely things about the staff. Thank you for encouraging my little man to be his best self.

The staff are very friendly and very caring. My son learnt a lot in all aspects from communication to settling in very quickly and was able to build a relationship with his key workers. My son's weaknesses were picked up quickly by well trained, professional staff. All the staff are approachable and
spend good, quality time assessing and observing each child individually. I am extremely pleased my child is thriving academically and socially. My son always learns something new on every visit.

My child started here in mid January 2022. She was shy at first but grown to love it here at this nursery. She only attends twice a week and always comes back with something new that she has learnt for the day! She's always excited to be dropped off and always upset (usually) when she's leaving as she
has so much fun. Really appreciate the support and development targets that the nursery gives. Very realistic. Thank you.

Priory nursery is a lovely place! We have two girls and both went here. One of them is now at school, another still attends nursery. Never had we any problems here, all reports are detailed, great communication with parents, wonderful and friendly atmosphere within. Any queries actioned rapidly, very
helpful staff. Staff are building a wonderful rapport with children. During lockdowns, the nursery has shown great support for parents, a very well organised and clean place. Thank you to all staff of Priory Day Nursery.

The Priory Day Nursery has been fantastic with my daughter. She was a little behind with her speech and the team and manager did a great job with her. They constantly monitor her progress and keep me and my husband updated. My daughter loves to go there, they always do lots of activities and the food
is great. My daughter always eats everything there. Thank you Priory Day Nursery Staff.

My 4-year-old daughter has been attending for the past year and she has learned so much since going here. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. Amazing staff with so much heart and a caring mindset. Definitely made the right choice by choosing
this place! And we’re very thankful to the manager and the whole team at Priory Day Nursery.

My son has attended this Nursery for three years now and today was his last day!
This nursery has been amazing; he has loved it!. All the teachers are great and really care about the kids. His development here has been fantastic, and I am sure they have played a huge part in getting him ready for big
school. I could not recommend this nursery enough! We will all miss the fantastic staff there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for The Priory Day Nursery - High Wycombe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.893 for The Priory Day Nursery - High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.893
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Priory Day Nursery - High Wycombe is based on 18 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
