Review from Jack H (Father of Child) published on 20 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my kids are at Big top . Staff there are helpful and happy at all times it seems! Which makes drop ofs and pick ups great , even if one of my children is a bit upset when going in. The tears are just for us parents it seems as within minutes of going in , my child is happily playing, im sure due
to the great happy nature of the staff.
They always come out full of the joys of the day, telling me all about what fun they had.
My daughter is now fully prepared for the step up to big school in September, thanks to the wonderful staff here.
Great place and great staff

BIG Top Preschool has been wonderful for our family. My eldest daughter changed so much during her time there - she grew in confidence and was truly ready for school. My little one is still attending and is always happy; I can see so much progress in her development each week.
The staff are warm, friendly,
and extremely communicative. They're always ready to help and keep parents updated on activities and progress, which gives me great peace of mind. I'm really happy with BIG Top Preschool and so grateful I had the opportunity to bring my kids here. I highly recommend them.

It's hard to find words of how amazing these ladies are. Everyday without a doubt they're full of smiles and kindness. They've helped me as a mother in so many ways and my son has truly blossomed in their care. We are both going to miss them all so much in September

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had such a great experience at Big Top and will always be so grateful for the care and support my child received.


At the beginning, my child struggled with going in and would cry at the door. But his key worker was absolutely amazing. She was so patient, kind and understanding and took the time

to support him and help him feel safe and comfortable. It didn't take long before he was happily going in by himself.


There was great progress in his speech, his confidence grew so much and it was lovely to see him developing, learning and enjoying himself every day.


The bond he built with his key worker was truly special. It gave me so much comfort knowing he was cared for by someone who genuinely understood him and wanted the best for him.


Leaving preschool was so sad for us because it had become such a special place and we will forever miss it.


Thank you to the whole team for everything you do for the children and families. I couldn't recommend this preschool more highly

From the first moment my daughter joined we were fully supported my daughter has SEN and the help and support she has received has been amazing, the staff work with her and her mornings there are based around her needs.
They try to include her in everything in some way at her own pace. She has been
making lots of progress. We will really miss preschool when she transitions to school in september.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.613)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.613) out of 10 for Big Top Pre-School (Buckingham Park) 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.913 for Big Top Pre-School (Buckingham Park) is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 104 Ratings = 4.913
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Big Top Pre-School (Buckingham Park) is based on 9 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 = 3.7
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 9 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.
