Buckingham First Nursery

My son has been going to Buckingham first since he turned one and he has flourished in such a warm and caring environment. From starting in the lovely sensory orientated baby birch room, he has since moved into the bright and airy downstairs rooms with fun outdoor spaces and ever-changing activities. The owners of the nursery are professional but warm and inviting, with great communication skills and what I feel is a very honest and transparent approach to early education and the facilities and staff provided. If there is ever a problem or concern, the owners and management have always been on hand to offer a solution. The other parents and children are lovely, and it makes for a great nursery I would definitely recommend to others. I think their rates are reasonable for the service they provide, and always seem to find and keep their nursery staff for long periods of time, a testament to the services provided.

We are very happy with the personalised care and attention that she has had from all the staff at Buckingham First. The nursery has always felt warm, friendly and welcoming. The staff are very good at making the little children feel comfortable and are always encouraging their development. I have always found their advice on her development (eg toilet training, sleep routine during the day etc) very helpful. Our daughter talks a lot about her teachers and friends at nursery and all the things she enjoys. They have put in extra measures in line with government guidelines for COVID. Even though parents don't go into the building for drop-offs and pick-ups, we still have the opportunity to speak to her teachers and discuss any concerns. I would highly recommend Buckingham First for anyone deciding on where to send their little one.

Buckingham First Nursery is like a big warm hug for both the children and their families! I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All the staff are fantastic with the children, I have seen both my children learn and grow so much since they have been here. Every day they come home with exciting tales of what they've been up to. Not only have the staff been great with the children, but they've also warmly welcomed us as parents from the very first day, keeping us up to date on all aspects of nursery life. We very much feel a part of the Buckingham First family and are so glad we picked this nursery for our children.

I can only describe this nursery as a little haven for little people. The management team, the practitioners, the children, the environment and pretty much everything within this nursery has blown me away. It’s just perfect and I can’t actually find enough words to describe amazing! After having visited several nurseries, I instantly felt something extra special about Buckingham First and it has certainly lived up to my initial impressions all through the past 2.5 years; their fabulous team sets them apart from other nurseries. They have gone above and beyond my expectations to provide outstanding care, nurture and support for my little boy. He has grown in confidence, comes out of his shell and absolutely adores the girls at nursery. Thank you Buckingham First for giving my little boy the best start to his learning journey.

We moved our son to Buckingham First Nursery from another nursery on his 2nd birthday where he joined Little Elms and has now transitioned to Rising Pines. Our younger son started in Baby Birch in December. It was the best decision we have made. Every little detail has been thought about both in the design of the building and different rooms to the day-to-day routine and extra activities. Our son especially enjoys the regular sports classes and the home-cooked food goes down a treat. The staff are incredibly kind and caring and the management see the children and parents as an extension of their family. Our boys both thoroughly enjoy attending each day and our 3-year-old, in particular, has come on leaps and bounds in the past 18 months. Thanks to everyone at Buckingham First.

All the staff are wonderful and have helped my son to be such a confident little boy. Would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at the nursery. I would highly recommend the nursery to every parent looking for a very strong headstart for their little ones.

I have a child who has been with Buckingham First a few weeks upon opening and also have my 1 year old who is about to start their Buckingham first journey in Baby Birch (she is in the settling in phase). The staff there are amazing and management are very approachable and friendly. Communication with parents is outstanding and can trust that my children are in safe hands. The facilities are well maintained and resources enrich the development of children at the centre. Food served there is gobbled up by little one and even asks for seconds. It's weird how she does not eat the same food when I cook it at home! The nursery also provide parent classes on various topics such as E-safety and looking after your children's teeth.

The nursery leaders are wonderful along with the practitioners which round off what is a second home to my kids.

I continue to be very pleased with the level of professional care and attention Buckingham First provides for my little boy (who has been there for over 18 months). It is clear that a lot of time and resources have been invested in all aspects of the strategic and daily running of this nursery. This has resulted in a team of managers and teachers that really 'own' the values and ethos presented in Buckingham First's mission statement. Fantastic job.

My child has been at Buckingham First for over a year and a half and during this entire time, he thoroughly enjoys going to nursery each day. We are so pleased with the quality of care and learning offered and have been impressed with the level of service of all the nursery staff.

We are in the process of adopting a little girl and her brother who came to us in May 2017. The little girl had a pretty sad and difficult start in life and on coming to us was a confused little girl. Children's Corner was her second nursery (the first was too big, loud and unstructured so we decided to move her) and she has become a fun loving, confident and happy little girl. The nursery owner and manager reassured us, explained all the processes and kept in regular contact with us to make certain we felt support too. I cannot thank the staff enough - they nurtured, helped and cared for her, understood her background and were eager to support where it mattered most. She has come on in leaps and bounds and we know that is because she loves coming to 'her school' and has enjoyed making friends and grown in confidence because of this very positive early experience.

We are very pleased and we would definitely recommend to others.

Our son has attended the nursery for over a year and I can not recommend it enough. The owners are enthusiastic and dedicated and immediately put you at ease when you meet them. They and all the staff who work there are caring, kind and simply lovely. Our son settled very quickly and I had a complete peace of mind knowing that when I dropped him there each morning he would be well looked after. The baby room, in particular, is a lovely spacious and calm room full of fun and interesting things for the babies to do and explore. Wonderful nursery.

Having visited this nursery for the first time we were so impressed that we transferred our daughter here and we cannot stress how happy we are with our decision. As a parent, leaving your child at nursery/daycare is always a daunting prospect. Everything about this nursery is on point, the image, the hygiene, the atmosphere, we really could go on. Genuinely, the management and all the staff at Buckingham First Nursery are amazing. Their care and attention to detail are exceptional and the environment that our daughter is natured in is not only fun but innovative too. As a result, she was able to settle in quickly and became extremely attached to her teachers. We can really see her enjoying herself and developing extremely well under their influence. It’s a true credit to you all. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents and would like to thank you all once again. We’re so impressed we’ve already put our newborn on the waiting list. Keep up the great work guys!

I would certainly recommend this nursery to other parents and would like to take the opportunity to once again thank all the staff for genuinely being so brilliant and having very high standards!

Buckingham First Nursery is a very special place! The environment is beautiful, clean and welcoming and perfect for little people. The staff are incredibly kind and caring, it took my son a while to settle but I felt like I was leaving him with very loving extended family. He came home every day teaching me a new song he had learnt and mimicking what his teachers had said that day. He became very fond of the adults in his room. The communication between staff and parents was great, we got daily reports, emails and phone calls to let us know how he was getting on. They provided a variety of nutritious snacks and meals which he was given seconds and thirds of quite regularly. The management team were also so lovely and accommodating, they were like friends. Unfortunately, we moved house and have had to take our son out, that was a very sad day! I only wish they would open a branch close to our new house as I very much doubt we'll find a nursery like it again.

The first time I visited the nursery, I knew it was the right one for my son. We just love the environment. It took him a week to fit in afterwards he enjoyed being there every single day. All the teachers are well trained, they are knowledgeable, patient and loving. I noticed my son's transformation after attending the nursery, he's becoming very sociable, polite and happy!

The owners are very friendly, kind and helpful. They take care of even small things, making sure both parent and child are happy there. Food is lovely and my son loves it! I would give 10/10 for this nursery!

My child started mid term due to a relocation to London, I saw two previous nurseries in the area and Buckingham First Nursery was the last one for us to see. I instantly knew we had found the right one from the moment I walked through the door!

It is a fabulous nursery, the staff and owners are so professional, friendly, caring and compassionate and most importantly approachable, the children are taught in such creative and innovative ways. From entering the building you are greeted with a warm welcome from all staff, everything there is of a high standard. My child has integrated into his new nursery so well and enjoys going daily, and now is slightly obsessed with the new 'mud kitchen'!

I would recommend this nursery 100%, credit to the owners who have created a beautiful, fun learning environment for young children.

I would highly recommend this nursery, 100 times over, couldn't be happier.

Since joining Buckingham First Nursery my son has developed in so many ways. He has lots of fun and he loves the teachers very much who are caring and professional. My experience of the Buckingham First Nursery has been fantastic and I would definitely recommend to others.

I am very pleased with this place because the management and all the teachers are amazing, very friendly and really involved in the job they are doing! Also, this place is beautiful, newly decorated, wide areas for learning and playing, it has a magic room for babies as well! My son really loves being here, he thinks it's his second home!
