Children 1st Buckinghams Nursery School

My girls love coming to nursery and the care for them is great. Their key person is lovely and the management are very supportive and helpful. I am a little unsure about the 'key fob' safety system for the setting as I worry if a parent was to lose the key fob and someone else found it they could enter the setting if the missing key fob was not reported. A fingerprint system for parents would be a safer system to use as every parent has their own individual fingerprint. Maybe this safeguarding system could be implemented?

My son absolutely loves nursery and settled in very well. He loves his class and nursery teachers. He only goes once a week but you can see the improvement in his confidence around other people, which with being a Covid baby I was worried about. He always comes back with new life skills he’s learnt. If there’re any concerns they will work on that as well e.g road safety etc. Definitely a great choice in nursery.

Children 1st @ Buckinghams Day Nursery have always been amazing with our son! He absolutely loves everything he does with the nursery girls! He enjoys all indoor and outdoor activities and the care he is given is fantastic! Every day he comes home happy!

We chose Buckinghams for our daughter as it felt very safe, well organised and managed, and that she would be well looked after there. We haven't regretted our decision. Our daughter has enjoyed her time there so far, has developed well, and seems really happy at the end of the day after doing lots of fun and educational activities!

I can't think of any negatives really, as it has all been a good experience so far for us and our daughter.

I would recommend Buckinghams to anyone looking for a safe, friendly environment for their littles ones to learn and develop.

She has attended three times a week for over a year and not once has she been taken out for the day. I know other nurseries take the children to the park/woodland/to feed the ducks and even music activities at local halls etc. I would like it if the nursery started doing more things outside of the setting.

I love this nursery both my kids go here now. My son started three weeks ago. I was told to apply for child tax free childcare as it will help me a lot. I did, I was having problems setting it up and I was worried that the nursery fees are going to be late and they said it was ok and they helped me so much with it. My daughter will be leaving in September and they've been so good with her, helping her to get ready for school.

Our daughter is very willing to go into nursery in a morning which speaks volumes for us as she is a rather clingy baby but has built a solid bond with her key worker as she has put in a lot of effort with our daughter and helped her settle in very well.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery to friends and family.

My daughter has been with the nursery since she was 10-months-old. She’s recently turned 3 and I have to say, it’s like leaving her with family. She looks forward to going and has learned so much already! I’ll be so sad to leave.

Since starting at Children 1st @ Buckinghams Day Nursery, my daughter has overcome a few obstacles such as speech delay and helped her to socialise. If it wasn't for Buckinghams mentioning her speech delay and pointing me in the right direction I don't think she would be where she is now. She loves to play with her friends and loves the staff, most mornings she asks if it is time for 'school'. She is a much happier little girl and I couldn't thank all the staff enough.

Children 1st @ Buckinghams is a great little nursery, my grandson has come on in leaps and bounds since starting here, it’s taken him a long time to get used to being left at nursery and cried when I left him for months but the staff were always patient and understanding with him and I’m pleased to say now he loves going to nursery to play with his friends and see the staff.

Children’s 1st Day Nursery have been amazing! They have really helped to develop our daughter in all aspects of her development. They regularly communicate with us, share achievements and make our daughter feel loved and safe every day. She loves all the team so much and I am so happy to know that we leave her in the care of many professionals who hold children at the centre of what they do as their utmost priority. Her confidence, speech and general social skills have developed in the last six months under Children’s 1st and it's wonderful to see her learning journey recorded and shared with us. Thank you so much!

The food is always something new and exciting and lots of things that she wouldn’t eat at home eats there. The kitchen staff also make things off the menu if it's something that she doesn’t like which I think is so thoughtful.

Thank you so much for all of the support that you had provided! Our little boy loves it!

My child has been attending the nursery for a while now. She really enjoys going and spending time with her friends and participating in activities. She seems to have excelled in her speech even more so since attending nursery and always tells us at home what she’s been playing with each day. She is always happy on both arrival and departure which is nice to see. I do think they should have more things like little trips out to the park etc. as Buckinghams used to have this facility before Children 1st took over. It would be nice to see them interact with the world outside of nursery a little more as I feel it is good for them and their social development.

We have had our son in the nursery since May 2021 in the baby room. The introduction that the staff gave us and our little boy was fantastic. They were really good at getting to know us and what he does and doesn't like so that he felt settled and happy in nursery.

His key person has such a great relationship with him and he always gives her a big smile on arrival and departure.

I am so pleased our child attends this setting and I thoroughly recommend Children 1st @ Buckinghams to all parents.

Excited for my little girl to start in October as I know their care for babies is second to none!

My son has been going to Childen 1st @ Buckinghams for two years and I don’t have a bad word. All his teachers are fantastic and he loves going. They are very professional and friendly. My son learns new things and they always do new activities with the children.
