Review from H H (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our 13-month-old has been attending the nursery for two weeks now, and we've been really happy so far. The staff are so friendly and welcoming - they've helped make the settling-in process much easier for both us and our little one. We get regular updates and photos about how the day is going, which is really reassuring. There are lots of opportunities for play and exploration, and our child already seems more confident and happy going in each morning. Would definitely recommend!

Overall Experience

This nursery has been a fantastic place for my child. The staff are so caring and supportive, the large garden space is a real highlight. My child loves all the outdoor play and exploring. I also really appreciate the app they use to keep parents updated; it's great to see photos, daily reports, and milestones. It gives me real peace of mind and makes me feel involved in their day. The manager is approachable and accommodates extra sessions if needed. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Joe G (Uncle of Child) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As an uncle, I've had the pleasure of watching my niece thrive since she started attending Ashbourne Day Nursery. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel at ease with their warm, caring, and professional approach. It's clear they genuinely care about the children and take the time to understand each child's unique personality and needs.
Every time I pick up my niece, she's smiling, full of stories, and eager to show off what she's learned. Whether it's a new song, a craft project, or a new word, I can see her development progressing in the best possible way. The nursery provides a nurturing environment that's both safe and stimulating, and the balance between learning and play is just right.
The staff keeps us updated with regular photos, notes, and reports, which I really appreciate as a family member who's involved but not there every day. It gives us insight into her day and reassures us that she's in the best hands.

I genuinely believe Ashbourne Day Nursery is helping sh

Review from Natasha C (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Excellent and friendly staff who genuinely show care. My son started with the nursery at 3 months old and now he just turned 2 years. It's been an amazing experience and I know the future years at the nursery will be more exciting. My son has developed a lot and continues to develop because of the excellent expertise the staff has. The staff is always happy and they take the time to know you as the parent when you drop off or pick up your child. They genuinely care. Most of the staff work overtime to ensure that the children come to a clean environment to play and learn.

Really friendly team. My baby is really happy there. They keep up to date with everything and make the transition so easy and calm. Good variety of food and activities. 1st-time mum so found it really hard to leave my little one but I wouldn’t leave her now with anyone else.

Review from Alison G (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at Ashbourne since December 2021 having previously been at a childminder and having a bad experience. We were super worried about him settling but the caring staff welcomed him and ensured his experience was positive from day one. All the staff are kind, nurturing and provide an excellent environment for development and fun. My son is excited to go to nursery and is always in such a happy mood when he comes home. We couldn't be happier with Ashbourne and would highly recommend it to any parents in Leighton Buzzard.

Overall Experience

My daughter started in the baby room in January at just 12 weeks old! All my worries about it were taken away when I saw how happy she was in the baby room. She settled in perfectly, naps well, and always has milk as per her routine at home. We enjoy following the app to see her updates of photos and what she’s been enjoying and she always come out happy and smiley! We look forward to being part of the Ashbourne family for the next 4 years!

Overall Experience

Lovely setting and with a friendly and caring team supporting my child’s learning developments. My little one is so excited to arrive at nursery everyday and runs in for big cuddles with the staff. I always feel confident and happy to leave her there and on collection she can’t wait to tell me what she’s done and who she’s played with. Excellent feedback from staff, keeping me up to speed on her daily progress. Couldn’t have hoped for a better place to care for my little one.

Review from Debbie C (Mother of Child) published on 14 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My twins started here in April at 22 months. After spending so much time together with lockdowns I was very nervous/anxious about leaving them. By the second day that changed, I realised how wonderful it was for them, how much they already loved it and continue to do so. They look forward to going. Always smiling when I drop them and pick them up. Their development is really coming along too. The staff are fantastic and very friendly. Really put me at ease when I was nervous about leaving them. The twins run in, I’m lucky to get a kiss goodbye! Brilliant lunches and snacks too. My daughter often has seconds! Highly, highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Both my daughters have enjoyed their time at Ashbourne Nursery. The staff are really friendly and polite. There is plenty for the children to do. Both my girls have developed well, especially their social skills. Being a smaller nursery just means children get more of a 1:1 support which is invaluable.

My daughter has been going to Ashbourne since Jan 2020. She loves it they have taught her so much from how to put her coat on the superhero way to what bees do. She will be very sad to leave next month. I would high recommend Ashbourne and the staff.

My daughter loves coming here. She always has a smile on her face when turning up and when leaving. The staff here are kind and very helpful when needed. My daughter adores her nursery nurse. I can tell she is so comfortable here. She started at five months old and now 16 months. Even with Covid, she has learnt so much being here. Than you for all your hard work.
