Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe

Thank you all of you x

We have been so happy with the care provided by the team at Hungry Caterpillars. They are so engaged - every day there are new and creative learning experiences. They are so thoughtful, supporting the children to make little gifts for holidays and events, that also allows their creativity to flourish. Our little boy happily goes off to nursery to play with his friends, he loves spending time outside and with all of the toys inside. He knows he can always go to one of the team if he needs a cuddle, too! We miss him when he is at nursery but it is reassuring to know he is still well cared for, by a team who know him, care about his interests and teach him new things every day.

I haven't seen any improvement in my child since joining nursery. The issue is that my child is more advanced and has already learned many things ahead of time. Instead of challenging and encouraging further progress, the nursery strictly follows the curriculum, which has led to boredom. As a result, my child has lost interest and now just plays with toys, before he was interested in learning, reading and exploring. I believe this nursery might be suitable for an average child. I've noticed that children who attend this nursery tend to lose confidence. Instead of gaining new skills, my child has picked up phrases like "What the hell!", "What's your problem!", and even swear words. This is extremely disappointing. While I can't place all the blame on the nursery, I believe that some of the responsibility lies with other parents who are not correcting their children properly and nursery should address it with their parents when they hear it/see it.

Hungry Caterpillars has been an amazing experience for both our daughter and ourselves as parents. They've helped us navigate our daughter's development (and parenthood) as she's grown - she started attending at 10 months and now at nearly 20 months she's just so confident! As first time parents, the team and key workers there have been so supportive and we're so grateful to have such an amazing nursery close by. Her meals always sound amazing and the management team are so welcoming in the mornings at drop-off. The outside area is full of learning activities and games, I just wish there were more green spaces.

Brilliant childcare settling. The space is open, bright and clean. The staff are lovely and the location is convenient- lots of car parking spaces too. My son is always happy going into nursery and comes out with a big smile.

The food menus are interesting and balanced, there is a brilliant range of activities and learning opportunities happening and there are events throughout the year where parents and grandparents can get involved too.

Amazing nursery! My daughter attends it and really loves it here. Lots of activities for the children, painting colouring, messy play, the staff are very caring and accommodating to her needs. Highly recommended.

She is an asset to the nursery and she makes sure all staff are on board with our granddaughter and they understand her issues and difficulties. Thank you.

Really pleased!

The administrative staff is very helpful and responds quickly, teaching and caring staff are responsible and caring towards children.

The staff are lovely, I have no problem raising any issues if any, very happy with my choice and would recommend to anyone.

The management team are always so helpful and accommodating and are always available to talk to.

Highly recommend Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe to anyone that is looking for a nursery. My son has been going from age 2 and loves it there. The environment is lovely, the staff have been amazing with myself and my son. The care and learning opportunities have been amazing. I am looking forward to watching him grow there this year.

She’s also grown in confidence and starting to talk which is great! We love this nursery and have recommended it to all our friends with little ones.

Absolutely no complaints whatsoever about this nursery. Our little girl loves it here. All of the team are very personable, and you can tell they love children, which isn't always obvious in some nurseries. They keep you updated every day on how the day has been, and you also get a weekly summary. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough; they are brilliant!

Both my kids have loved being at Hungry Caterpillars. The staff are amazing and always so warm and caring. The activities they design for the kids are imaginative and varied. My son loved the Spanish lessons and weekly sports lessons. When he graduated from nursery before starting school, I felt sad he was leaving such a brilliant environment but the experiences he had there have given him a head start at school. My daughter has been at home there since day 1 and loves playing with her friends and all the activities. We love the family feel and, having had at least one child there for the last 4 years, we’ve never had any concerns or come across a staff member that wasn’t lovely!

We have just enrolled my third child at Hungry Caterpillar High Wycombe and love the bonds our children make with the staff! If we had any more children I wouldn’t hesitate to enrol them too! The log throughout the day gives us a huge piece of mind!

The manger and the team are doing such a great job!

The staff do an excellent job of engaging the children in a range of activities that are both fun and educational. My daughter has learned so much since starting at this nursery and I am thrilled with the progress she has made. Overall, I would highly recommend the Hungry Caterpillar nursery to any parent.

Thank you Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery.
