Review from Shruta P (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended this preschool since she was in the baby room, and our experience has been excellent from the very beginning. The environment is warm, welcoming, and, most importantly, safe, which gave me great confidence when she first started. The preschool provides a wide range of opportunities for children to learn, explore, and thrive. One of the standout features is the forest school programme, which encourages outdoor learning, independence, and a love of nature. It has been wonderful to see how much my daughter enjoys these experiences. Over the years, I have seen tremendous growth and development in my daughter, both socially and academically. The staff are caring, professional, and dedicated to supporting each child's individual needs and potential. I have never had any issues with either the staff or the facilities, and communication has always been positive and reassuring.
I would highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing, stimulating

Review from Rachel N (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My oldest child attended this nursery and absolutely thrived. When she was two and a half, I made the decision to move her to a nursery closer to home as it was within walking distance. Looking back, it was a huge mistake. Sometimes you don't realise just how exceptional something is until you leave it.
Because of that experience, I made sure to put my second child's name on the waiting list when I was just 12 weeks pregnant. With nurseries filling up earlier than ever these days, I knew there was nowhere else I wanted my child to be. What truly sets this nursery apart is the staff. The care, dedication and genuine warmth shown by the staff are second to none. The management team has created an incredible environment, and it's clear that anyone they bring into the team is expected to uphold those same high standards. I will continue to sing the praises of the Buckden team.

Overall Experience
Buckden Day Nursery is a wonderful setting and we highly recommend it. The staff are all so caring, kind and warm, and they provide fantastic care. Our son has been in the baby room and is now in the toddler room and he always enjoys a lovely varied day, with enriching and educational activities both inside and outside, including sensory sessions once a week. He has really developed during his time here. The food is tasty and nutritious. And the office/ management team are so helpful and knowledgeable too. We are so pleased that he enjoys his days at Buckden Day Nursery, it's a special place!

Overall Experience
I currently have a child attending BDN but I also have an 8 year year who went there..I love this nursery and all the staff who work there. I think the activities the children get to do and the facilities on offer are excellent. I love the feeling of the nursery especially.
I am always safe in the knowledge she will have a terrific day and I think they feed her better than I do at home!!!

Review from Jani K (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our son has just finished a year in the baby room. The care he has received has been exceptional and the baby room staff are all so kind and knowledgeable. They always make so much effort for outdoor play and village walks, adapt so well to each child's routine and invent the most fun activities for the babies. The weekly photos of activities and regular updates on development are wonderful to read and provide a great connection between parents and the nursery. It has been a real joy to see our little one develop so well in such a lovely setting. The baby room team are a real credit to the nursery and I am sure the higher-up rooms won't disappoint.
Couldn't recommend the place highly enough!
