Aflah Nursery, High Wycombe
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A pre-school in High Wycombe for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2024. Open since 2016, with 40 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children arrive keen and eager to explore this warm and welcoming nursery and separate from parents without hesitation. Staff know the children well and attend to their needs and wants in a timely fashion. Consequently, children feel comfortable and at ease in the setting and move around playing freely. Children play happily and harmoniously with each other, and generally treat each other with kindness and respect. For instance, children share construction resources and help each other to build models of rockets.
The curriculum carefully considers the ages and stages of all children. It balances all the early years requirements, while also studying aspects of the Islamic faith in a sensitive and age-appropriate manner. For example, children are welcomed in
Arabic when they arrive at the nursery and are encouraged to respond accordingly.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's skills to promote children's curiosity and thinking skills further.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
