We moved to Amersham in December last year and my daughter started this year. She has settled in very quickly and is extremely happy. We, too, are delighted with Daybreak and all the carers for providing our daughter with a safe, happy space. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at Daybreak since October 2014, he absolutely loves nursery and I have found the staff very friendly, accommodating, open to suggestions and always trying to improve their facilities. my son adores the Mud Kitchen in Amersham Chiltern Avenue and will spend as much time playing in it
come rain or shine.


The staff at Amersham Chiltern Avenue take pride in their jobs and want to ensure all of the children develop and are ready for pre-school or eventually school, with initiatives from serving their own breakfast, helping with table preparation for lunch and dinner, getting used to cleaning their teeth (with nursery supplied teeth brushes). Everything about learning is through play including writing and understanding letters and numbers.


They have Click it, French and Cooking lessons, which my son is excited to do each week .


The staff are all friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them and I always feel so important to them when I collect my son every day.

The nursery has allowed my daughter to enjoy her day with a variety of activities.
She has begun to make friends and seems very happy when I see her at the end of a long day.
Staff are caring and look after her well and some staff have really gone the extra mile to nurture her.

My 1-year-old son has recently started at Daybreak Nurseries and I could not be happier.
The ladies who look after him are caring and attentive and all the staff know him and me and are lovely and friendly. My son does different activities every day and is getting exposure to things I would really
struggle to do at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved to Amersham area in December 2017 which meant our son needed to change his nursery. We were a bit worried about him changing because he was always unsettled when changing rooms etc.
The Daybreak nursery was absolutely brilliant and continues to be. The nursery staff were incredibly caring
and paid close attention to our son's needs, kept updating us on the progress to ensure our son settles in and is happy. Our son has now been in the nursery for 2 months and he is happy and thriving, he is looking forward to going to nursery and makes a great progress.
My husband and I couldn't be happier with the nursery. The carers use a lot of their own initiative to ensure the children are happy, which is what we really appreciate. They are very genuine and we have full trust in them looking after our son Monday till Friday.
We would recommend Daybreak nursery to anyone without hesitation.

Both my boys have been at Daybreak since they were little and they have been very happy. My youngest is now in Big Sunshines and he's loving every minute. No matter which room I've been impressed with the love and care that has been shown to my boys. It's a loving, caring, nurturing and great learning
environment. Thank you, Daybreak for helping my boys grow and develop.

The staff at Daybreak Nurseries Amersham Chiltern Avenue are fantastic- friendly, caring and very supportive of parents' wishes. The food is varied and prepared onsite which is great. They have a brilliant garden at the back and the children get plenty of fresh air. My son loves it and is always telling
me stories about what they've been up to that day.

My son settled in really well at Daybreak Nurseries Amersham Chiltern Avenue and bonded with the care workers quickly. I felt confident he was being given the best care possible and they took time to make sure he was happy and having fun with lots of different activities. I’d definitely recommend the
nursery to anyone looking for a place for their child.

Fantastic people, providing wonderful care, entertainment and learning for our twin girls. After 2 years, there's become a very obvious bond between the staff and our kids. They're also sticklers for all rules which is no bad thing. We are extremely happy with how this has worked out.

The staff have been very supportive of my son, who usually finds it hard to say goodbye to me in the mornings. They anticipate the problems we have, distract him and do it all before he gets upset. He has a wonderful day with them and usually doesn’t want to come home! It’s massively reassuring to know
that he’s happy whilst I’m at work.

The support given to my child, myself and partner has been exceptional and kind. As well as working to very professional standards, issues are discussed very compassionately and if there is anything that the team can do to help, they will and are genuinely motivated to deliver the highest level of service
and understanding. The sincerity taken in every aspect of the care they give (to parents as well as children) is much appreciated in the difficult world of being a working parent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff have done a great job at supporting our daughter through her transition from nursery into pre-school. She has settled in well and in a very short time. She has made lots of friends, often talking about them at home which is lovely to hear. Her speech has come along leaps and bounds in the
last couple of weeks and she is constantly surprising us with what she's been learning.
The staff are very approachable and supportive when it comes to things like potty training and eating (she is very fussy at home!). This is really helpful for us and we have seen some developments as a result!
The facilities are good, lots of space to run around, both indoors and outdoors and there's plenty of activities to get involved in.
We are really happy with Amersham Chiltern Avenue and would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Daybreak Nurseries Amersham Chiltern Avenue is an excellent nursery. The staff are very welcoming, kind and caring towards the children and communication from the managers is excellent. They are very vigilant when it comes to safety and always communicate via telephone if my child has had a little bump
or fall.


My son has experienced a wealth of learning opportunities and I have witnessed the high-quality practice of the staff. He loves pre school and has developed fantastic relationships with his key workers and other children. The nursery is really forward thinking and celebrates different events throughout the year, which contributes to the children's understanding of the world. There is also the option of having additional ICT/ French and cooking sessions. The nursery also operates an excellent transition policy when the children move up into the next room.


My son is happy, confident and growing in independence. I know he is having an excellent start to prepare him for school. I can't recommend Daybreak Nurseries Amersham Chiltern Avenue enough!

I have used Daybreak Nurseries (both Amersham sites over the years) to care for each of my children in turn since 2009. My youngest has recently left to start school. They have always made me feel that my children were safe and cared for. The staff have almost universally been warm and welcoming. Additionally,
I have been amazed at the efforts and encouragement put into my children's development, and the teaching of EYFS. I feel that Daybreak provide extremely high quality, and therefore very good value for money, childcare.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A year ago, I would have wholeheartedly said that this nursery was outstanding and the place to send your child, however, my view has changed somewhat in recent months. Something in the culture of the nursery has changed! In my opinion, this nursery has suffered from a constant turnover of staff which,
whilst this is relatively normal for the industry, I find concerning as the effect on the team is evident. There are a number of outstanding team members who have a visible natural affiliation with the children although, at times, even these stars have seemed disheartened. In my opinion, due to the recurrent staff changes, standards across the nursery have declined. I have to be clear that this is purely my opinion and may not reflect that of other parents.

I've been very happy with the care provided for my children at Daybreak. The staff always greet my child with a smile and welcome. They take a real interest in the children and are enthusiastic. I've noticed how my child is being prepared for starting school and is able to tell me all about various
facts and things she's learnt while at nursery. It feels like a very well organised setting and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to place their child.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10 for Partou Chiltern Avenue Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.938 for Partou Chiltern Avenue Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.938
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Chiltern Avenue Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 12 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
