Grasshoppers Day Nursery (Aylesbury)

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 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.

The nursery is always clean and welcoming, all staff are very friendly. Both my children once there have a lovely time. My little one doesn't enjoy being dropped off but the staff are always happy to take him and even another lady went and spent some time with him the other day. An amazing nursery.

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 staff all seem to genuinely enjoy working with the children and helping them develop crucial skills to start the journey to school.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough and I only have positive feedback. The staff have all been lovely, with each key worker, my son has had I felt took a real interest in him and helped him develop. The rooms and outdoor space for them to play are fantastic and always look inviting and interesting for the kids. He's really grown in confidence over the years and I credit a large part of that to going to Grasshoppers.

Both my son and my daughter have had a fantastic time at Grasshoppers in Aylesbury. They settled well as the staff are so warm and welcoming every morning and they have an amazing time every day with so many activities to choose from. The rooms have all been renovated with new equipment/toys and really look fantastic - the outside play area is a particular win with the kids. The staff are really engaged with the little ones, meaning we've seen great steps in their development!

Choosing Grasshoppers Day Nursery was the best decision we made as parents and one which we routinely were grateful for making throughout our son's 3 years in their care. We cannot fault them in any way, and would (and do!) recommending them in a heartbeat. The care and support they provided our son and us as first-time parents was second to none and every step of our journey with them, from our son starting at 1 year old, through to him leaving for school. The very best of nurseries and one very happy set of parents! Thank you.

I could not recommend Grasshoppers enough! My son only did one day a week but his confidence has grown so much! He is now leaving to start school and I feel Grasshoppers have really helped in getting him ready. All the staff are so lovely. Thank you to all at Grasshoppers.

Gutted there isn't a Grasshoppers infant and junior school! Thank you to everyone there.

We came to view Grasshoppers last year and we knew as soon as we stepped through the door that it was the nursery we wanted our daughter to attend. We went to view 3 other nurseries but none of them compared as Grasshoppers set our standards so high. We love the home-from-home feel and we loved seeing how well the children already attending were being cared for. Staff are attentive, informative and caring, my daughter also has a dairy allergy and I have no worries about sending her to nursery as they made us and make us feel so at ease. My daughter is thriving in their care and is always happy to attend as the staff who greet us always have big smiles and open arms.

My oldest child has been at Grasshoppers Day Nursery in Aylesbury since the baby room and he will be going to school this year. He has loved every room that he has been in and has recently moved into the new preschool pod which is just amazing! The staff throughout the setting are so caring and friendly, you can tell they love doing what they do. My eldest always talks about the staff and how much fun he has in Preschool. I really wouldn’t choose anywhere else to send my children! my youngest child has been in the baby room for 10 months and he loves being in the Caterpillar room with one of the ladies who was also my first child’s keyworker. He always has so much fun with the staff in Caterpillars, they are all absolutely lovely and give the children the best possible start in nursery.

We can't thank you all enough for everything you have done and to help them grow and thrive in ways we never imagined, and we couldn't be more grateful.

As a first-time parent returning to work full time, I didn't realise how anxiety-inducing it would be when your child also starts nursery. It's heartening that Grasshoppers took such thoughtful steps to ensure a smooth transition for my little one. Early preparation - Grasshoppers went above and beyond by settling my child ahead of my return to work. Emotional support - Their kindness in providing me with tissues while my baby happily played with other children. The emotional support during this transition was invaluable. Happy little one - It's delightful that my child now smiles every day and willingly goes to their key worker. Loving care - Knowing your child is in safe hands and receiving loving care provides immense peace of mind. From my experience, it's evident that they prioritise both the child's and parent's well-being! Thank you so much to all the staff!

Thank you to the Grasshoppers staff.

I’d highly recommend Grasshoppers Nursery to all prospective parents. Both of our children enjoyed their time here and our youngest experienced all four stages of her early years at the nursery. The facilities are extensive, the staff are caring and welcoming and it has a personal feel to the care for the individual child. We believe that both children felt ready to start infant school after their time in pre-school at Grasshoppers and this aided a successful transition.

My toddler loves Grasshoppers Day Nursery Aylesbury and we as parents think it is such a lovely place for him. The team in ladybirds have been fantastic and we really appreciate how they genuinely care for our little boy. I cannot thank them enough for being patient with me when we first started and helping my little be confident without his parents around.

We have been sending our daughters to Grasshoppers since our oldest joined the Caterpillar's room at 10 months old in 2015. During that time we have always been happy with the standard of care provided for them. The staff are always setting up great activities and learning opportunities for the children, they’re always friendly and willing to chat about the day at pick-up. The nursery is well run with frequent communication provided to parents. We would recommend this nursery to others.

I highly recommend this nursery. My daughter started in the baby room and is about to graduate from the pre school room. All staff have shown a warm and welcoming approach and demonstrated a high standard of care. I believe the nursery is well led and staff are friendly yet professional at all times. Communication has always been good. My child was encouraged and supported with her individual development and her needs were always met. They have always provided a wide range of activities with a great range of resources and equipment to support children’s play and development.

Neither of our daughters are ever unhappy about going into nursery. Both of them loved their time here and our eldest adjusted really well going into reception as I believe they had all the confidence required. Thanks to all the staff for your support.
