Amazing nursery, amazing staff and a wonderful manager. Both kids attended and my youngest love it there. He is refusing the idea of going to a different one. He loves his teachers and friends. At some point he calls his teachers as his friends. The manager Carly is amazing, patient and understanding.
She helps and attends to requests almost every time we need her and instantly.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was one year old. The staff have always been caring, supportive, and know her extremely well.
She previously attended another nursery where I was frequently contacted because she struggled to settle. However, this has never been an issue at Ashbourne.
The staff manage her needs very well and allow her to feel comfortable and settled throughout the day.
I am also very impressed with the nursery's security. If someone else is collecting my daughter, the procedures are very thorough, which gives me great peace of mind.
Overall, my daughter is very happy and loves attending the nursery.
Reply from Carly Stimpson, Nursery manager at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes CentralThank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 4-star review. We're really pleased to hear that you & your child have had a positive experience with us, & we truly appreciate your kind words.

Thank you again for your support.

The nursery staff are wonderful! My daughter struggled to settle in to nursery at first, and now she is so excited to see each and every one of them at morning drop off. She's tried lots of new foods at lunch time, and we can see her becoming more sociable as the weeks go on. I feel so relaxed leaving
my daughter there when I go to work, and have no concerns. A wonderful team who plan so many activities for the kids, and keep the parents updated with photos all week.

Moving to a new home and new area can be scary for a child, and this is exactly what my child was going through. The staff at Ashbourne MKC made this process a lot easier, giving patience, extra care, and understanding to my child while he settled in. This reassured me greatly as a mother and am very
grateful for their kindness, love, and support towards my child during this time. He comes home happy from nursery every day and often will talk about his teachers at home! I could not thank the team enough for the continued support they give to my son!

Ashbourne Oldbrook team have really bought my child's confidence and personality out. Thank you to all the staff for the past few years - you've made the biggest impact in his early years and he will always remember you. You can really tell you care and love your children and the effort and care you

I toured around 7 nurseries in the area and I was unsatisfied; until I visited Ashbourne at Milton Keynes Central. I am very happy with this decision, both my boys love the staff and love going there every morning.
I am at ease knowing they are well cared for and spend quality time with friends and
have creative and fun activities planned for them.
The dedication of the staff and their proactive approach in supporting the children and the parents is amazing, and especially comforting for us as parents to have peace of mind.

One of the best nurseries in Milton Keynes. My little one has been attending since 2021 and the quality of care has been top-notch at all levels. They encourage a lot of reading, try to inculcate good values from different cultures and go the extra mile to ensure parents and kid receives all the care
and communication they need. Special shout out to a staff member from Caterpillars and four staff members from Butterflies, amazing staff! Good luck!

My daughter has been going to Ashbourne for a year now, after removing her from another nursery in Milton Keynes. As soon as we walked into Ashbourne they showed my daughter so much care and attention. They go above and beyond for her and always update us with various pictures and stories of her day!
We love this nursery and would recommend it to anyone!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.930 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.93
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Milton Keynes Central is based on 18 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 18 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.
