First place is a wonderful nursery. My daughter loves it very much. She is always there. She has learned a lot there. She has developed significantly in all domains. She settled very quickly there when she started. Now she has made many friends there.

The absolute best nursery in Bushey. The staff are incredible there are too many to name all of them but especially three in particular are the Crème de la crème. Kind, welcoming, loving, respectful everything I could ask for in a nursery. Both my children run in at drop off and are generally so so
happy when I pick them up as they have had the best day. Wish they could stay there forever!

We chose this nursery when our daughter was just 9 months old because of its nurturing environment and welcoming, friendly staff. It immediately felt like a home away from home, which was exactly what we wanted for our little one. Thanks to the incredible team, she has grown into a caring, funny, and
resilient child. We are so grateful to the staff for making both her experience and ours such a positive and memorable one. Thank you for everything!

Our child joined at the start of the year, and staff worked hard to get to know her and help her to settle in. These days she is thriving and loves it, there are so many activites. Staff are kind and caring.
There is good communication, a handover at each pick-up, and weekly additional updates about
our child's progress

After moving my daughter from a childminder to a nursery I was unsure what to expect but I was very quickly put at ease. The staff treat her like their own, she loves it there so much she never wants to leave! She has made some special friends and she always tells me how much she loves her teachers.
We'll be sad to leave when the time comes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were so anxious about sending our son to nursery but First Place staff made it so easy for us. Their transition was fantastic and their care is first class. We like that they have a large shared indoor gym facility in addition to plenty of outdoor spaces, and their large carpark makes drop-offs and
pick-ups so much easier. The nursery is set back from the street so no noise/pollution and behind it is a park. It's early days for us but we are very happy so far.

First place is an amazing nursery, my son has been at the nursery from when he was a year and a half and I have only seen positive growth in my child. Superb staff who are ready to do anything to make your child comfortable and have an optimistic approach to all the practical details of life.

A really fantastic, caring and nurturing nursery. I couldn't be happier with my choice. My daughter has thrived there and have never had even the slightest concern over her wellbeing or safety. They really care about her and as such she has grown and developed so beautifully in their care

First Place Bushey is a warm, caring and nurturing environment. The staff work incredibly hard and my daughter comes home so happy. The access and parking facilities there are spacious and easy.
As her time at FP comes to an end we will be sad to leave, she's made some beautiful friends and the parents
are all so friendly.

I’m so pleased with First Place Bushey. The staff are amazing, caring and nurturing. My daughter loves going in every day and I hardly get a backward glance when I drop her off. Food is also excellent and varied. I can highly recommend this nursery.

Review from C M (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was a difficult decision to pull our baby out of his old nursery and to choose another one. You instantly put us at ease with your professionalism, kindness, warmth and calmness. We are thrilled that we made the impulsive and scary jump over to a new nursery setting after only deciding via Zoom (because
of Covid.)


He had changed so much during lockdown, he had gone from a happy go lucky baby who would go to anyone to a sensitive little monkey with separation anxiety. With only just being in your setting for over a week we got our pre-lockdown baby back. He now comes home bouncing and giggling.


The regular updates and continuous contact with parents via the app are second to none. To see our nearly 17 month old holding a pencil correctly is just incredible.


You go above and beyond to provide meals to suit his food allergies.


We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done over the last few months to settle him in. 
 
We definitely made the right choice without a doubt.

I do not know who does the staff recruitment; the team is absolutely amazing. From the baby room to the pre-school they are fantastic. I have used their services for two years now and only saw an agency/bank staff on one occasion. You see staff there for a long time meaning the staff must be happy.
The current building is tired, however, they are due to build a brand one in due course and move the nursery there. The outdoor play area for children is very green and backs to Bushey Field, which means kids are not exposed to any pollution whilst exploring and playing in the garden. Overall they are great.

My 17-month-old boy has been going there for 3 months now. He is so excited when I drop him off and runs to the kids and the staff as soon as he sees them. What I love most about this place is that there is great communication between management and staff, a lot of outdoor play, good food menu and great
activities. They use an app that sends you pictures and videos of new things he has been trying. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My baby comes home happy and content.

We have had a great experience at this nursery. The staff have been great at settling my little one in.
They always come and talk to us at the end of the day to say how my little one's day has gone.
They do a variety of activities such as superhero days, cookery, teddy bear picnics and many more.

Our son has been attending this nursery for almost year and half now. He has learned an awful lot during this time and has thoroughly enjoyed himself. The staff are very friendly and we feel he is being well looked after. There has even been occasions when he didn't want to go home as he was having
so much fun.
We will be sending out second son to this nursery when the time comes.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.467)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.467) out of 10 for First Place Nursery Bushey is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.842 for First Place Nursery Bushey is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.842
  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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Place Nursery Bushey is based on 10 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.625
  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.
