Our daughter has attended the nursery since she was 1. Since Adiel became manager, the nursery has been great. The staff are caring, fun and really knew our daughter, especially Katie, Debbie and Sophie. There was always lots of engaging activities that helped her grow, learn and thrive. We were sorry
to see her leave and move on to school

Our child has been attending PR Nursery for over two years, and it remains one of the best decisions we ever made. The setting and the staff are wonderful. It is so bright and welcoming, full of joy and laughter, and it is our child's whole world. They enjoy it so much that they never want to leave!
The activities offered are fun and engaging, the food served is varied and nutritious. There is high demand for places at the nursery for good reason - it's the best in Princes Risborough! I can't imagine my child attending anywhere else - it is a beautiful little community. Thank you to all the lovely staff.

My son has been at Princes Risborough Nursery since December 2024 and he has been thriving since arriving. They take a lot of care of these children and spend time thinking up creative ways to play. The outside garden is wonderful. Well run and extremely well organised. Not one negative thing to report.
Strongly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter has been here for 18months now since she was one. She's absolutely thriving. Ask her what she did at nursery today and the answer is always "playing and activities".


She's got her cohorts of other toddler friends and also clearly knows and trusts lots of members of staff beyond just

her key worker.


We're kept in the loop of what she's been up to, and also supported as working parents too with optional early drop off for days we have to be in early and also support when we had our second child recently. They also do lovely events such as mothers and Father's Day afternoon tea (with granny's and grandads invited too).


When we've had challenges (eg jet lag after visiting family in Japan) nursery were brilliant at helping our daughter settle back in.


We love it. Our daughter is happy, growing well and she's safe. Our second child will start in 2026.

We currently have our two children at the Nursery and our oldest has been there for 3 years. We are on our third management team who have absolutely transformed the place this past year.


The care, dedication and love the staff pour in emanates from the moment you walk in the door. Their attention

to detail is incredible, there's nothing that escapes them and even when things don't go to plan, as they often don't with toddlers, they have my complete confidence that they're on the issue.


The nursery is also served amiably by an incredible chef who feeds the children better than you could imagine with the Deputy Manager acting as a very capable sous chef too. We have had our ups and downs but this past year has been transformative and I wouldn't have my children anywhere else.

We current have two happy, thriving & settled boys at PR Nursery. They've been attending for nearly 18 months & we are so pleased with every element of the care, nurturing & support that has been given by all the staff. The kids have built bonds with both staff & children that is resonate of a safe,
playful & thoughtful environment. The weeks are well structured with activities wide ranging; playing outside & indoors; in groups or smaller, one on one time; play time, creative time & learning.
The nursery recognises many events throughout the calendar year - inviting family to join in celebrations & activities which brings us together & brings a warm, proud community feel. Well done PR Nursery - you are fantastic!

Our son has been at Princes Risborough Nursery for about 18 months now and it's been amazing to watch him develop with the rest of the children and support from staff. He loves coming to Nursery every day and has a fantastic bond with all of the staff who are fantastic at understanding his needs and
making him feel so comfortable. We're now moving out of the area and the hardest part is finding him a new Nursery that provides the same experience - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this setting to any parents in the area.

We have absolutely loved our experience at the nursery. The staff are so warm, caring, and dedicated and it's clear how much they genuinely care for each child. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are excellent and they spend a lot of time outdoors. The food is also amazing with a variety of healthy
home cooked dishes.
Our son has thrived during his time here thanks to the nurturing and stimulating environment the team has created. Every day he comes home happy and full of stories.
We're so grateful to the whole team for making this such a special chapter in our son's early years.

My grandson started at the nursery a couple of months ago, from day one, he has always been very excited and happy to go to nursery. He particularly enjoys playing outside and it's great as a nursery they spend a lot of time outdoors getting fresh air and plenty of exercise. The manager and the staff
that I have come in contact with have been friendly and welcoming.

The nursery provides the perfect setting for my child to learn and develop. The range of activities both indoors and outdoors is excellent with real care and thought made by the staff. The staff are incredibly thoughtful and mindful of any requests made by parents. Detailed information and feedback
are always provided. The menu and standard of food are incredible. The variety is very impressive and it is always healthy. We are very happy with the nursery and will always recommend it.

My daughter has been at Princes Risborough Nursery since it first opened and it has been a pleasure throughout.
The staff have always been extremely friendly, helpful, kind and warm. Especially the current staffing base.
My daughter absolutely loves it here and is really thriving. They are always
doing activities and outings and we get great updates on the app.
The food is absolutely incredible too. They recently had a family tasting event for the new menu and we were blown away.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. You and your child will really love it here.

My daughter has attended the setting for over 6 months now and simply loves it. When it comes to morning drop off, she's out of our front door like a shot to get there and with evening collection, she just doesn't want to leave. The staff and the setting is fantastic and it’s a real surprise when you
go around the back to see the large outdoor play area which is really well equipped, allowing the children to do all sorts of things from riding bikes, playing in the mud kitchen and simply having fun together.
Whilst the management team and staff are all great, helping our daughter to develop and providing thorough feedback on her progress, a special note must go to the Chef. The Chef produces really good nutritional food and on a recent parents tasting session, I wanted to ask for a takeaway!
It’s great to have such a friendly nursery with such good connections to the railway station.

Our daughter has recently started at the nursery and we are very pleased at how quickly she has settled in. The key workers have been amazing at organising daily activities and keeping us regularly updated, not to mention how jealous we, as parents, are with her meals.

My girls have been attending the nursery for 18 months and they are very happy. The staff are incredibly nurturing, friendly and enthusiastic with the children. They offer a wide range of activities daily and often do baking, which is their favourite! The food is excellent, they often have seconds and
the menu is balanced and healthy. I am delighted with how much my children have settled there, they run in and are developing and learning at a fast rate, thanks to the curriculum they offer.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.613)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.613) out of 10 for Princes Risborough Nursery 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.713 for Princes Risborough Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.713
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Princes Risborough Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 9 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.

Adiel McKinven

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2024

I have been working in childcare since 2009, starting my career as a Nursery Assistant and gradually working my way up through various roles to become a Nursery Manager in 2018. Throughout this journey, I have gained extensive experience and have had the privilege of managing large nursery settings with up to 89 children and 32 dedicated staff members.
I hold an NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Care, Learning & Development, as well as a Level 3 Forest School Leader qualification. These qualifications have allowed me to develop a deep understanding of child development and how to create a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and build confidence through play and exploration.
I am incredibly passionate about fostering a love of learning in young children and helping them grow into confident, happy individuals. I believe that each child is unique and has their own special journey, and I am committed to supporting them every step of the way. One of my greatest joys is investing in my team, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment where practitioners can develop their skills and grow professionally. I am committed to helping each staff member reach their full potential, empowering them to be exceptional educators and role models for the children in their care.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring nature with my son. We love going on adventures, reading together, and enjoying all the beauty that the world has to offer. These personal interests often inspire me to bring a sense of awe and wonder into the nursery, encouraging children to discover the world around them.
