Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started attending Berryfields Day Nursery in June this year when she was 12 months old, as my wife returned to work. The team were so kind and took the time to ensure that both she and us were comfortable with the transition. We attended two/three settling-in sessions and our little one
was so comfortable with the environment and the staff straight away. She loves going every morning and she has so much fun when she's there. I feel confident that she is safe and happy and is learning so much every day! The updates on the app are super useful and they make you feel you are part of her day. The staff are always so responsive, friendly and so accommodating as we had to change her days a couple of times due to our work commitments. We have already recommended Berryfields Day Nursery to friends and will continue to do so!

My daughter started attending Berryfields Day Nursery when she was ten months old, as I returned to work. The team were so kind and communicative and took the time to ensure that both she and I were comfortable with the transition. I feel confident that she is safe and happy in such a caring and nurturing
environment. Her recent transition to the under 2s room has also been brilliantly handled! She is brimming with confidence and is learning so much thanks to the attentive, expert staff, plus communication on both her daily activities and overall progress is excellent. I have already recommended Berryfields Day Nursery to friends and will continue to do so!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Berryfields day nursery is absolutely brilliant! My son joined when he was 3.5 years old in February 2023 on a full-time basis, 5 days a week. He was previously with a childminder for 2.5 years. We were very keen on getting our son in after visiting the nursery before opening and a great communication
from the management team answering all our questions. Communication still remains amazing, always getting a reply the same day. The nursery offers a brand-new setting, very clean, beautiful handmade furniture, wooden toys, very friendly staff and super tasty food. Safeguarding is excellent. The girls who work in a preschool class are amazing, always go above and beyond! We have noticed a massive improvement in our son's development since he joined and now he is fully prepared to start at school in September. My son absolutely loves it, every morning gets super excited to go in and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. We would 100% recommend Berryfields Day Nursery to any parents.

My daughter is 3.5 and has been going to Berryfields Day Nursery since February this year and I can’t fault it.
She was with a childminder before going to the nursery and I question myself every day why I didn’t move her sooner.
Her confidence has grown 10 fold since going here. They’re supportive
and encouraging in the right way and have been great with my once shy little one.
They listen to concerns and alter the way they care for your child to suit you as a family and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

My son started his preschool sessions at Berryfields Day Nursery twice a week in May this year. The staff are all so kind and professional in caring and helping children to grow and learn day by day. His key person is a fantastic and knowledgeable teacher, as she is preparing children through stories
and nice activities on how to start school in September. I can see clearly my child's confidence and a big smile on his face at drop-off time every day. A big thank you to the business administrator too, she is so friendly and amazing in all updates. I must say a very safe environment here, highly recommend this nursery.

Berryfields Day Nursery (Aylesbury) is a great nursery – I would and have recommended it to friends. The kids are happy, there are fun and educational activities every day. It's a clean and new building but also a very homely environment with the right level of stimulation for each age group. Great
outdoor space too. The staff are a great mixture of ages and all are kind, friendly and competent, whilst adhering to rules required for a safe environment. Safeguarding is excellent. I've experienced a few nurseries over the years and this is one of the best. My son has loved his time there and the staff have been supportive with any issues we have experienced. They are preparing him for his time at school soon and he is raring to go!

I am delighted to share my wonderful experience with Berryfields Day Nursery as my son prepares to transition to reception. The supportive staff and their commitment to every child's development, including those with special educational needs, were truly remarkable. The nursery offered a wealth of engaging
activities in a beautiful setting, providing a stimulating environment for learning and exploration. The staff's support for parents, coupled with valuable coping techniques, made a significant difference. Although slightly expensive, the nursery's excellent value for money, easy parking, tasty snack selection, and abundant learning materials were highly impressive. The key workers were amazing, and the friendly management team made the application process seamless.
My son's time here has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am confident that the foundations laid here will contribute to his future success.
Berryfields Day Nursery is a haven where children thrive!

My daughter started at the nursery from the beginning of January and it has just been such a smooth journey. Everyone has been so warm, and my daughter just fits there like never before. I was really antsy as she was in a smaller setting and worried she wouldn't fit in where there are a lot more kids
around, but all the staff have made her so welcome she just fits in. She loves her food there too. She has made leaps and bounds in her confidence where it comes to big crowds. We are so happy we chose Berryfields Day Nursery. Would always recommend them.

My little boy has been to 3 childbase nurseries and Berryfields has not disappointed at maintaining the standards we now expect. The new building is very well equipped, he adores going and talks about all the staff at home. He has built friendships and loves to tell me everything he’s done during his
day. The settling-in process was really smooth, given the nursery wasn’t fully open. I would 100% recommend Berryfields to any parent.

My daughter started her time with Berryfields Nursery at the beginning of April and although she is still finding her feet, the staff have been great. She will be starting her two days a week this month and we are hoping she will really start to settle in and no more tears at drop off!

Berryfields Day Nursery is absolutely amazing! We love this nursery! It is one of the best nurseries in Aylesbury! My daughter attends the nursery since they opened in January 2023. I remember the first day when she walked into the nursery and said goodbye to me without hesitation. She is very happy
and I am happy! The staff are amazing, professional and with lots of knowledge and experience. They have good activities, the food is delicious and the facilities are clean. Communication, transparency and honesty are very important for me and I did find what I was looking for in this nursery. Thank you so much for everything to our Berryfields Day Nursery family!

My daughter has settled in really well and gets so excited when we pull up to the nursery each morning. The fact she happily jumps into the arms of whoever is in the room that day and waves me off each morning fills me with so much ease. The team there is all really, really friendly, and the facilities
are amazing; I’m so glad I chose Berryfields Day Nursery for my daughter and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about sending their child there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.674)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.674) out of 10 for Berryfields Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 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 4.922 for Berryfields Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.922
  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 4.752 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Berryfields Day Nursery is based on 17 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 113 number of registered child places is 22.6. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.6 = 0.752
  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.
