A lovely, friendly, caring nursery with excellent staff and management. My daughter has made friends there and loves the staff. She absolutely loves it there. She was keen on going to the nursery every day. The staff genuinely care about nurturing the development of kids. They do lots of activities
and crafts with kids.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare nursery in the area.
We will be missing you all next year!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has been a warm and comforting environment for my child. She has been lucky to have had such a passionate staff team caring for her. Daily feedback about the well-being of my child has always been detailed. Staff delivering it have always exuded enthusiasm and a sense of humour. My child
looks forward to attending the nursery daily. As a result, her cognition has improved tremendously. I firmly believe that the foundation laid here will positively continue to influence her development and educational journey.

So pleased with the progress my child is making. She has bonds with all of the staff members and is very fond of them all in the baby room. All staff are very understanding about the needs of the children and give parents reassurance when needed. The parent app is also amazing, lots of pictures and
feedback on the child's day.

My daughter has attended this setting since the start of 2021. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting. The staff are absolutely amazing and I couldn't fault them one bit. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and I have always felt happy that she is safe while in the setting. Can't

Superb setting and staff. Very supportive of child's needs and requirements as well as understanding from parents. You know it’s a great place when your child doesn’t want to leave and equally cannot wait to go back. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you for all the work that you have done.

All of the staff have been so welcoming to us as a family. Making our son feel right at home, since day one. I am so impressed with the attention to detail (it’s the little things that really count) and the care that he receives. Choosing a nursery is such an important decision and one that we feel
we have definitely got right for us and our son. They have taken the time and care to get to know us and our son. This means they treat him as an individual and that brings such a quality level of care.

A wonderful nursery that I’ve been lucky enough to be a parent of for four years. Both of my children have thrived at this setting and I would recommend it to any families who live around the Bletchley area.

Beautiful building with lots of natural play setups
- Hours available from 7:30-6 for working families
- Good feedback at the end of the day and updates via the app
- Nappies and meals included in cost

Ashbourne have been amazing supporting my child. They had gone above and beyond to get him settled as quickly as possible as well and ensuring he was comfortable. I can’t fault any of the staff or the nursery as they’ve done a brilliant job. They give the children a sense of responsibility and teach
independence. This is then reflected when my little one arrives home and the changes I’ve noticed within him. Only positives about Ashbourne.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is my first experience of any nursery setting and I have been so pleased with how well my son has settled into Ashbourne. The staff are lovely and it’s so clear that they really care for my child and he, in turn, loves them too! He always has lots of fun (although all he tells me is that he’s been
dancing). It’s nice to receive updates through the app so I can see the activities he’s been doing. I also love the outdoor space they have and that it’s used often as he loves being outside. The management team are brilliant and very approachable and I can’t wait for my second son to join in the summer.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.752)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.752) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Fenny Stratford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.752 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Fenny Stratford is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.752
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Fenny Stratford is based on 16 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
