Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter began settling in sessions at the beginning of January and has since started full time and the whole time we have been nothing but happy with the service. The staff are friendly and polite and my daughter leaves me with ease which makes me go about my working day better. She has already
developed so much since starting and it’s all down to the baby room staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely intimate little nursery. My little boy became so shy over lockdown and would cry anytime a stranger spoke to us. So we chose a smaller nursery as to not overwhelm him. He started attending Ashbourne in October and settled within a couple of weeks. He loves going to school now and has really come
out of his shell. He adores his key workers and is excited to go every week. He's learnt so much over the last few months and has caught up on things he missed out on. We couldn't be happier with this nursery and everyone there!

My granddaughter has just started this nursery. She is 8 months old and a baby who hasn’t experienced much socialisation due to covid lockdowns. I can only thank the staff especially the deputy manager for the kind and thoughtful reassurance they gave me when I collected my granddaughter. She came out
happy and content and was happy to return the next day. As a grandparent who perhaps worries a little too much I have no hesitation in leaving her now she obviously is well looked after. Staff are happy to answer any questions and I will definitely recommend them.

Ashbourne Day Nurseries have been brilliant since day one. They are great with my daughter. She is always happy to go in and never any issues or upset. They regularly have time outside with lots of activities. I regularly receive updates and photos of how my daughter is doing. I would highly recommend
this nursery to friends and family.

My Granddaughter started at the nursery, she is one of the youngest there I was a little concerned but I need not have worried as she settled in without any problems joining all the activities and really loves it. Out of all the nurseries I visited with my daughter and granddaughter Ashbourne denfinalty

The team at the nursery were fantastic at settling my daughter into the nursery. They work hard at keeping her to the routine she has at home which I really appreciate. The staff are so kind and caring. I can leave my daughter in their care withour any worries. Thank you so much, my daughter enjoys
her time spent at nursery. I can highly recommend them.

Review from C P (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First and foremost we love the staff at Ashbourne so does my son. We think they are reliable, consistent, lovely and care about the needs of my son. They have supported us with potty training and administering medication following a hospital visit - we 100% trust the staff with our son.
He is often
singing nursery rhymes that he's learnt and talks about nursery a lot. I love the variety of activities and that their environment feels relaxed. It's lovely.
I do think there needs to be investment (more than there has been) in outside space and aesthetically it lacks character but fundamentally all of the components are there for a happy experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ashbourne has been a fantastic nursery. They have excelled on a professional and personal level. My son has a lot of special educational needs and Ashbourne have gone above and beyond to not only make sure our son's needs are met but also that we as parents are happy with is care. After having 5 children
come through this preschool I couldn't recommend them enough. Brilliant staff, play areas and setting for all ages and different needs of children.

Excellent nursery settled in my little girl no problem.
Always reassure both myself and her and give her lots of cuddles whenever she needs them. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming every morning.

Very friendly staff, made me feel very comfortable when my daughter started.
They were very good when she didn't want to stay at first.
Great vibe in the nursery and my daughter is very excited to come here on her days.
She loves Ashbourne Day Nursery and everyone in it.
Thank you.

Very helpful and kind nursery, that both of my children have loved attending.
It has proven to be a very good stepping stone for one of my children starting school.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.555)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.555) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Leighton Buzzard is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.667 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Leighton Buzzard is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.667
  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 3.888 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Leighton Buzzard is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 39 number of registered child places is 7.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.513
  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.
