Review from Sharon B (Mother of Child) published on 2 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a very good nursery, with friendly and helpful staff. My daughter is clearly very happy and says she likes nursery and looks forward to going and seeing her friends. There is a good daily routine with a great balance of activities and the outdoor and indoor spaces are both lovely. One of the
reasons I chose this nursery when she was younger is because it has a 'home' feel - being a converted house rather than a school-type building. It is also very conveniently located near the town centre. My daughter loves the short day trips to the shopping centre, the train station, and the nearby small museum. She almost always eats all the food, so it must be good! I would very much recommend this nursery to other parents.

Our two boys have been going to this nursery since they were 10-months, and they both love it. The staff are very friendly, with many having worked there for years; there is a real family vibe as each room is small so the children build good friendships with each other and their key carers. We have
also liked how much the children play outside, and have done trips to the park and museum. We will be sad when our eldest leaves this September for school!

Both our son and daughter attend Priory Day Nursery in High Wycombe and they are very happy there. Our daughter has been attending for 3 years and son for a year and a half. Both have built fantastic bonds with their carers and enjoy going in. The nursery has been very open with their Covid approach
and we felt confident dropping them back off after a few months of shut down.

My little girl has attended this nursery for 2 years already and she loves it. She loves her teachers and friends and all the fun activities they do for her.
I love this nursery, the staff is wonderful and can't thank them enough of how lovely they are to my toddler and how much they teach her.
She
also loves the food and I'm so pleased she has a nutritive meal for her development.
I love the online diary they have so I know what my little one has done during the day and what she has eaten and observations of her development.
I will recommend this nursery to any mum, it's a lovely and happy place where your child will learn lots.

Review from Madelaine H (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is fantastic. I really cannot recommend it enough. My daughter did not speak much and was very shy with other people when she started here. 6 months later and we have an increasingly confident, chatty little girl and it is largely down to the fantastic team at Priory Day Nursery. I get
updates every day via the Eylog system which is lovely to see what my child has been up to that day, plus it shows you what an amazing variety of freshly made food they have eaten that day, and how much!
I would definitely say this is an excellent choice if you want your child to be surrounded by supportive, caring staff who help nurture your child emotionally, socially and educationally.

The settling in routine for my daughter allowed her to settle quickly in an unfamiliar environment and has led to her enjoying her time at the nursery. Staff have been helpful and really made time for her to enjoy her nursery experience.

I'm so impressed with this setting that I'm gutted my son has not been here longer. Not only are all the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. The nursery is bright, colourful and a wonderful place to learn. Organisation is very good as well as communication from staff. I have nothing but positive
things to say and would recommend to everyone.

Priory Nursery is a small colourful nursery. We have used this nursery since 2011 and will continue for our new baby. Our children always come home happy and tell me all good stories and with friends and things they have learnt.
The children are always involved in different activities. I would recommend
this nursery.

I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff and facilities are fantastic and my son loves it there. It is great to know I am leaving him in a fun and safe environment with people he likes.


The range of activities he is engaged in ensure he is always entertained and he loves playing in the

outdoor space. All round excellent nursery.

My son has been attending The Priory Day Nursery for over six months and he absolutely loves it. He has made friends and grown in confidence. In particular, his speech has come along in leaps and bounds. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and I believe it is a safe and nurturing environment
to leave him in. When my youngest son is old enough, I will certainly look to send him there too.

My daughter joined this nursery after previously being in a different setting for two years. My daughter has settled well and really enjoys her days at nursery. The nursery itself is very clean and tidy and the activities they do with the children are excellent. The staff and manager are always very
helpful and approachable.

Priory Day Nursery has been an absolute godsend for our family, knowing that our little boy is happy, content and enjoying his day while we go to work, makes the day so much easier.
Our boy has developed in every way and we couldn't be prouder of how grown up and independent the nursery has helped
him be. I look forward to letting him spend many more happy days here before starting school.

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.
