Good★ 4.8 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in High Wycombe for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2022. Open since 2003, with 47 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 are happy and feel safe in this close-knit family-oriented nursery. They get all the cuddles they need from attentive staff,who know them so well. Babies have a wonderful time, as they develop their ability to walk independently while staff praise their achievements. Young children, who speak English as an additional language feel settled, as staff use key words in their home language. Staff have good knowledge of the children's needs and praise them regularly throughout the day. This supports children's confidence and self-esteem.
Children enjoy exploring stories with staff, who bring the characters to life, as they read in a lively tone of voice. Children use story sacks and props to help them act out the stories they know and to make up new adventures. This helps to develop their literacy skills. Children demonstrate that they enjoy the learning opportunities that staff plan to provide appropriate challenge. They become immersed in their play. For instance, toddlers make marks, as they place their cars in the paint and enjoy making tracks. Older toddlers use paint brushes with confidence, as they make marks on the tarmac with water. Pre-school children begin to manage risks.
They competently use scissors and learn how to pass them safely to their friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- allow children more time to share their own knowledge, think through their ideas and respond to questions they are asked, to maximise their learning n strengthen performance management and peer observations to ensure they are more sharply focused on raising the quality of the overall provision.

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.
