Kindred Waddesdon Nursery and Pre-School

We are so grateful to the wonderful team at Waddesdon, Kindred for being such an important part of our child's early years journey. From the very beginning, we have felt completely reassured knowing that our child is happy, safe, loved and genuinely cared for. The team are warm, nurturing and incredibly dedicated, and it is clear how much they care about every child as an individual. There have been so many special moments, activities and memories along the way, but what stands out most is the confidence and happiness our child has developed during their time at nursery. The encouragement, kindness and support from the team have helped them grow into such a confident and independent little person, ready for their next exciting chapter. A special thank you to all the wonderful practitioners who have gone above and beyond and made nursery feel like a second home. We will always look back on this time with so much fondness. We couldn't recommend Big Top Kindred highly enough. Thank you!

Summer has loved her nursery experience, the staff are friendly and welcoming and treat each child as an individual. They catered to her needs and Sophie her key worker makes sure she knows not only Summer but us as parents, taking the time to greet us by name and understand our family.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.
