Our son has been at this nursery since 9 months old, he's now 2.5 years. Everything has been wonderful. The personal care, attention to detail, love and positive staff have made the experience brilliant. They put alot of time and focus on the child's welfare, aswell as communicating extremely well with parents. Our son has thrived and I am so grateful that this nursery has been a part of his journey.
My son started at Big Tops 7 months ago after we moved into the area, and we've been really pleased with how well he's settled in. All the staff are lovely and they are great with communicating, both at pick-up/drop-off and with emails through the app etc.
My son initially started just two days a week and has been full time for a month now and he is just thriving! He loves going and always enthusiastically tells me about his day.
I would highly recommend Big Tops to any parents.
Our child had a few bumps and we've been informed in a timely manner and with what happened and treatment.
No problem is too much for them and everyone is always willing to go the extra mile to help and support you and your child.
My little boys key worker and room leader of Tiny Tops is amazing! I couldn't ask any more of her, she is always happy to give me extra updates when I'm worried about him and how he is and is always so reassuring with observations.
The communication in the setting is amazing and they are always open and honest with you and create the most amazing bonds with the children.
Liz the chef makes the most amazing fresh and tasty food that my boy loved even more than my own cooking!
I cannot say a bad word about the setting and everyone there they are amazing! I really appreciate everyone!
My son has been attending this nursery for nearly 6 months he has settled in amazingly and I put it down to the lovely setting and great staff, they always keep us updated on his progress and it's lovely too see his development
Thanks to the app, it's easy to track the activities of the day and it is another lovely way to store some pictures (when uploaded) of your children when in another environment.
Wonderful nursery, great setting with kind and caring staff and management. Both my children attended Big Top Nursery from when they were about 1 year old until going to school. We felt well supported by the nursery in their caring for our children, helping them grow in confidence and socially, with lots of great, varied activities and play-led learning in a safe and friendly environment. Fully recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to us. We know that your child will do amazingly at 'big school'.
We are so glad we have sent our daughter to Big Top Nursery for the last four years. The staff are absolutely fantastic and have been incredibly supportive. They ensure the children engage in exciting and interesting activities and our daughter has made so much progress socially and academically. We have always been confident that she is safe, thriving and is developing well socially. We couldn't have hoped for better.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure to have your daughter with us at Big Tops.
My daughter has attended Big Top for just over 3 years and is moving up to school shortly. Big Top Nursery has played a hugely important part in her early years education. She has adored her key workers, she's made secure and happy friendships with other children. All of the staff are wonderful with the children, they take the time to get to know the children and their parents. Thank you for looking after my daughter so wonderfully, it has been a privilege to have been part of the Big Top Nursery family and we will miss you.
Thank you so much, your kind words mean a lot to us. It has been an honour to have your daughter with us. She will be fabulous at her new 'big school'.
We have been absolutely delighted with the nursery, I honestly don’t have a bad word to say. The staff are all lovely and look after the children so well. They are fun, teach the children so much and have so much patience. We have got to know the staff members really well and have used some of them for personal babysitting and they are just amazing. The rooms are all organised and clean and the outdoor area is absolutely huge. So much space for all the children to run around in. My daughter has loved her time there and has learnt so much. Her confidence has grown and the nursery has made her totally ready for school. She is going to miss it there hugely. Thank you so much to all the staff for making her time there so memorable.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a privilege to have your daughter with us. I am sure she will do brilliantly in her new big school.
This nursery is amazing and the staff are first class. Suffering from PND I needed help with childcare for both my boys. They understood and helped me feel comfortable and confident leaving my boys. My boys love it here, they've made friends and really grown socially. My eldest sons speech is amazing and I [ut that down to how confident they make him feel. We are always left in the loop with changes. I 100% recommend this nursery. Thank you.
What a lovely review. Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure having the you and the boys as part of The Big Top family.
Excellent care provided for my child from 9 months through to 4 years. Excellent facilities, the best outdoor setting I have seen. Good communication links with parents through EyLog. The staff are always so welcoming on arrival and excellent feedback at the end of the day. The most important thing is my daughter loves attending so the setting must be right!
Thank you for your lovely comments. We have loved having your little one with us, it has been a joy watching her grow during her time at Big Top. We wish her well in her new school.
Excellent nursery! I viewed three nurseries in the area back in 2015 and as soon as I walked into Big Top Nursery I knew where I wanted my children to go. It's by far the best nursery and I know that my children are well looked after, so much so that I have also had some staff do childminding for me of an evening. As for development, I am impressed with how advanced my children are academically. I would never have been able to provide them with such a stimulating environment, amazing nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It is a joy having the girls with us in nursery, and it has been wonderful watching their journey with us so far.
All of the staff are fantastic, they are very caring and nurturing. My daughter is very happy at the nursery and has really developed in her time there. The activities and feedback given to parents is about the day's involvement including food, sleep and nappies etc., so communication is fantastic.l
Thank you for your lovely comments. It is a pleasure to have your daughter with us at Big Top.
I absolutely love Big Top! The staff are so kind and caring towards the children and always offer a cuddle when they are sad. They keep them happy in a safe environment and offer exciting and stimulating games and learning. Everything is always efficient and we have to ask/wait for nothing! This setting is absolutely amazing and I am so glad my two children have had the opportunity to go! Thank you to all!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been an honour and a privilege to have the children. They are a credit to you. We really wish them well in their new settings. We are genuinely going to miss you all.
Our daughter has been going to Big Top for more than 2 years. On our initial visit, we were impressed by the outside space and the children seemed happy and comfortable with the staff. We have never doubted our choice of nursery. The outside space has just got better and better with more facilities/activities added, including animals and planting. The staff are friendly, helpful and above all, the children have great relationships with them. Indoor activities are also varied regularly and freshly prepared meals provided.
The manager and her team run a fantastic nursery. They are organised and motivated and the children are stimulated throughout the day. I have been very pleased with my son's care at Big Top Nursery.
Our twins have been in Big Top since they were 18 months old and they are now 4 getting ready to leave for primary school. They have absolutely loved going to nursery and love the staff. I can't say enough positive things about the nursery. The manager and her team are brilliant! I always feel they have the children's best interest and development in mind. My children have really grown in knowledge and confidence. Their facilities and outdoor space are lovely. I would and do recommend Big Top nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It has been a pleasure to have the twins with us, and we are very sad to see them leave for school. We wish them all the best at school, please do keep in touch.
I would very much like to say a very big thank you to Big Top Nursery Waddesdon team for the warmth and standard of care my daughter has received since she has joined in April 2015. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the way the whole team works, from the way we were greeted to the wonderful things they had done with the children to help them develop. I cannot recommend this wonderful team enough - my little girl will miss them dearly as she is now all grown up and ready for the big school. Thank you!
Thank you for your very positive comments about the nursery - we wish your daughter well as she goes on to her next learning journey at school! You are most welcome to come and visit at anytime.
Big Top Nursery is one of the most wonderful educational establishments I have ever had the pleasure of being associated with. The ethos is exceptionally positive and our son enjoys attending so much that he often asks to go to nursery when it's a day off. The staff are welcoming and supportive, and communication is excellent, via face to face feedback and the online system. In my view, everything about Big Top Nursery is outstanding, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
We very much appreciate your positive comments about our Day Nursery, we strive to have a good standard of communication and excellent care for all children.
