My son joined Grasshoppers from a nursery in Amersham as we relocated. We loved his previous nursery and were apprehensive about the move. However, we the move has been so successful and my little boy could not be happier. The whole team at Grasshoppers are fantastic and we have seen him learn so much
already.


Thank you!

My son started a few months after being at a previous childcare setting in Aylesbury and what a transformation. He is so happy, chatty and just full of life. The staff take such great care of the children. My son has settled brilliantly and the staff were amazing during the settle sessions and when
he first started. They are still amazing now. I get a clear review of what my son has done for the day. They follow requests from home with ease and my son eats all the wonderful meals he is served. The setting is spotless and my son comes home as clean and whistle. No crusty, snotty nose or clothes covered in food. I feel happy leaving him there knowing he is under the best of care and he is enjoying himself and learning lots of new skill. Thank you to all the staff, you are all wonderful. Highly recommend 5*

Our daughter joined Grasshoppers a couple of months ago, and we couldn't be happier. The team are incredibly welcoming and supportive, caring for us as parents as much as our daughter.


We were especially impressed by the well-organised and regular settling-in sessions, which really helped prepare

all of us for the upcoming change.


There's a lovely warm and homely atmosphere throughout the nursery, and it's clear how much the staff genuinely care about each child's happiness and development. It's great to see such a wide variety of activities and toys, and we loved the outdoor space that our daughter is really enjoying.


We're truly grateful to have found a nursery where we feel so comfortable and confident leaving her each day. Thank you to everyone at Grasshoppers for making her (and us!) feel part of the family.

My daughter attended Grasshoppers Day Nursery from the age of 1-4 years old. Prior to this my daughter attended another setting but in my opinion Grasshoppers is by far better. The level of care and teaching she has received during her time at Grasshoppers has been excellent. The subjects they learn
in their rooms were very impressive, especially in Preschool. The rooms themselves and outdoor spaces are well equipped, very clean, and well maintained. The staff were kind, personable and professional. I felt they were very transparent with everything relating to my daughter's care and this allowed to drop my daughter to them knowing she was going to be well taken care of. My daughter thrived in the atmosphere they provided and I couldn't recommend them enough.

We are now at the end of our journey with Grasshoppers, as our daughter prepares for her next chapter at school.
My daughter joined the nursery when she was one, and from the moment we enquired about the nursery through to her settling in and her time spent there, it has all been a seamless and positive
experience.
She has formed some wonderful bonds with staff in every room she's been in-staff who often go above and beyond to make her feel settled and to provide enriching learning experiences.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Grasshoppers who has made her early years so special. She (and we) will miss you all dearly!
I would highly recommend Grasshoppers if you're looking for a nurturing, caring, and solid foundation for your little one in Aylesbury.

Grasshoppers nursery has been the most wonderful place for our daughter to grow. From her very first day, the team have been warm, caring, and genuinely dedicated to helping her thrive. She's grown in confidence, made lovely friends, and developed skills that amaze us every day. The staff truly know
and care for each child, creating a safe and happy environment where she feels valued and loved. We are so grateful for the incredible support they've given her - it's been the best start we could have wished for.

They have given so much care attention to our son. Their SEND person is excellent in advocating for our son's needs. She gave us lots of resources to help us navigate his transition to reception. I can't thank the staff enough for being dedicated and simple the best in caring for the children.
The
facilities are also top notch. The layout of the nursery is thoughtfully built for all seasons. They have airconditioning during summer which is fabulous! The children have freedom to explore to different activities and areas all the time. Our son has grown and developed so much.

Our youngest daughter has just finished her time in Grasshoppers, and we are so grateful that she got to spend her early years in such a nurturing and supportive setting. She joined Caterpillars room as a 9 month old, requiring lots of care and support, and is leaving a very confident and happy 4 year
old ready for school.


I can't recommend Grasshoppers highly enough to any parents in Aylesbury.

Leaving their precious child is always the hardest thing for a parent to do, but Grasshoppers have made this easier for me.


From the very first day we entered the nursery, there have always been positive vibes. All the kids are so happy. The staff welcome all kids with so much love and excitement.

The way they look after the kids makes it evident that it's much more than just a job for them.


The nursery provides a safe, stimulating and fun environment.


My daughter is always smiling when I meet her at the end of a day, and I have never had a reason to doubt that she is in good hands.


The staff has always been very forthcoming and open about any observations. They keep a very clear line of communication, keep us updated with all the activities and are always available to talk.


I would gladly recommend Grasshoppers, Aylesbury to any parent who is looking for a fun, warm, loving and caring environment and a peace of mind.

My son loves his time at nursery but has been finding drop offs really difficult. Separating from me has been incredibly upsetting for him (and me!).
The whole team have been wonderful at giving lots of nurture, setting up an exciting provision with all the things they know he likes, offering to give
me a call to let me he's ok and posting photos to show me that he has settled.
His key worker, created a personalised transition book for him, that we read every morning before coming to nursery and the team take the time to hide a dinosaur for him to find each morning. Even those on reception will help us look for the dinosaur!
Today, for the first time in what feels like forever, we didn't have any tears (except from me - which were tears of joy!)
The care and dedication the Grasshoppers team has for the children is second to none. I know no matter which member of the team is on in the morning, they will all give that extra support to my son.

My daughter loves her time at Grasshoppers - she has since she started with them in November 2024. The staff have a real bond with her and genuinely care about her, because they want to, not because they have to. My daughter has never shown any nervousness about going to Grasshoppers, which makes my
life as a parent a lot easier. I'm massively grateful to the staff for giving her a place to thrive, and it really is the best start to her life of education that I could ask for.

We have had the best experience at Grasshopper Day Nursery. Our child loved his time there. All the staff are amazing and you can see that they really care about what they do.
I appreciated that the classes are split into 4 age groups, as many of the nurseries we viewed were only 2 of 3. This gave
our child age appropriate targeted activities that really helped him find his confidence and thrive
We would have loved to continue at the nursery until he started school had we been staying in Aylesbury.
We couldn't recommend this nursery enough. I can only hope that his next nursery is as good.

We were delighted when we were offered a place for our daughter at Grasshoppers. Even when we went for our initial tour, we were warmly welcomed by all the staff we came into contact with. When our daughter joined Caterpillars, the staff were not only supportive of our daughter's needs to help her settle
as quickly as possible, they were also very considerate that I was a first-time mum and the stresses that can carry! I feel at such ease knowing she is in their care and having a great time. In the short period of time she has been attending Grasshoppers, we have seen her development progress, which is such a delight. So grateful to all the team that is contributing to her continuing development!

My second child attends here and we also had our daughter attend here a few years back I can not recommend Grasshoppers enough, they have amazing staff members and are professional.
My daughter really came out of her shell whilst at Grasshoppers and my son is slowly but surely adjusting to his time
there, but overall Grasshoppers has always been our choice since the start and now after having experienced our children going there, what we heard was not wrong and would highly recommend Grasshoppers to anyone who wants their child to have amazing care and support provided by them.

We really want to thank Grasshoppers Day Nursery for all of their support and care for both of our children. We had been with Grasshoppers for 7 years and have seen both of our children grow and develop and they really prepared our children for school which made the transition seamless. The staff are
caring, compassionate, accommodating, thoughtful and professional. Not only did they help our children but they supported the parents with pastoral support too. The children enjoyed the play and the activities and socialising/making friends. We are glad we chose Grasshoppers Day Nursery.

The settle-in process is reassuring. The communication is excellent.
The staff all seem to genuinely enjoy working with the children and helping them
develop crucial skills to start the journey to school.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.994 for Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury) is calculated as follows: ( (346 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.994
  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 Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury) is based on 29 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
