March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves going into Nursery. Our overall experience of the nursery has been very positive. The staff are always welcoming and approachable and the level of care is exceptional I feel completely reassured that my daughter is safe and happy whilst at Nursery.

March 23, 2021 at 12:00 amVery happy with all services and how happy our son is there. The staff is always helpful and caring.
Nothing but praise for everyone there. They do lots of outdoor activities and he learns new things and words daily.

March 23, 2021 at 12:00 amFrom day one of my daughter starting at this nursery, all of the ladies there have gone out of their way to help her settle in to her new surroundings, offering her reassurance and ensuring she feels happy and safe every day. She now can’t wait to go to nursery every day and the first thing she tells me when I pick her up is “I had fun today!” I could not recommend this nursery highly enough, they are a wonderful team who go above and beyond for the little ones in their care.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amWe now send our second son here, having had such a good experience with our first. He enjoys every day and the amazing team always have fun and engaging activities that means he really looks forward to going each week. The staff are friendly and attentive and supported by engaged and welcoming managers. The nursery is also lucky to have such a beautiful and quiet setting with amazing grounds outside that they make good use of for the children.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amHead Start Day Nursery have been amazing since our daughter joined last year. We are extremely grateful to each member of staff who take so much care and essentially are second mothers in the way they look after our daughter in nursery. They have catered for her disabilities and really taken a keen interest in helping her develop and feel part of the group. Our daughter loves it and we would highly recommend any parents wanting their children to join Head Start Day Nursery to know they will be well looked after and have a great time as they prepare them for primary school.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amI could not love this nursery more. We tried a few different nurseries with my eldest and were never quite happy, then a friend recommended Head Start Day Nursery to us. It has a real village nursery feel, and all the staff genuinely care for the children. Each day is personalised, they don’t just have the same toys out every day for a free for all like many nurseries, so the children are kept really engaged and everything is well looked after and in great condition (really clean too!). The level of attention the children get is the best we’ve experienced. We love it so much that when I went back to work full time after we had our second child we chose to arrange for wrap around care for the extra hours rather than change nursery. There is nowhere else I’d want my kids to be.

October 7, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is a truly excellent nursery. My daughter attended from September 2020 to July 2022 and she absolutely loved her time at Head Start Day Nursery. The staff care so much about the children’s development and well-being and they care for the kids like family. The leadership team are absolutely outstanding, professional and truly passionate about early years learning. This is a very caring, nurturing and fun environment and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves being at nursery and has developed immeasurably since she started in Sept 2022.
The staff are professional and diligent but above all they really care about the little ones in their charge.
I’d definitely recommend Head Start Day Nursery and will be signing our new born son up as soon as he is able.

April 6, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child has problems with strangers and other children and does not speak to anyone other than household members. Since starting in September, he has become more confident and has just started talking to his teacher. My son loves it at his nursery, and he tells me every day his teachers are his best friends and is always asking to go. He has also improved with his numbers, shapes and alphabet. I am more than happy with the way they do things, and the fact my child is excited every time tells me how happy he is.

April 6, 2023 at 12:00 amHead Start Day Nursery Milton Keynes Village is exceptional. As soon as we approach the front door, the staff couldn’t be happier to see us or more welcoming. They make every child feel special. My son always wants to go in and see his teachers and loves telling us about the fun things he has been learning or taking part in throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier with his development or his general behaviour, he adores Head Start, and his happiness is apparent from the start of the day until the end. Thank you to the amazing staff; we are lucky to have you all.

April 6, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have no complaints about the nursery. My son loves going to nursery. We receive his regular updates and pictures from the nursery, which helps us to understand what my son is doing in school. The staff are very good.

April 7, 2023 at 12:00 amThanks a lot to the Head Start Day Nursery team for looking after my little girl so well with love, care, support, a fun environment, excellent child development, very professional, genuinely passionate and most importantly like mother care. My little girl enjoyed every day with them and wants to stay longer as they always engage her in many activities. When she has any problems, they solve them immediately. My little girl joined this nursery in September 2021. She is improving communication, is confident, learned her English with complete sentences and is an independent girl. The location of this nursery is fantastic as they have a public play area with a calm place and no traffic roads. These keep my mind peaceful after dropping her nursery in the morning and returning to my regular work. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery in Milton Keynes, and I feel very lucky to have been part of something so special.

April 9, 2023 at 12:00 amI could not recommend Head Start Day Nursery enough! My son started here last year and from the first visit, I instantly loved how welcoming they make you/your child feel. My son absolutely loves all the staff and his time there. His development has come on so much in such a short space of time and we all couldn’t be happier with the care. This is the best nursery I have come across! They are professional, caring and always there to help. It feels like I am dropping my son with family, They don’t make you feel like your child is just a number. We are so grateful for all the staff here and couldn’t thank them enough!

April 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy granddaughter has been coming to this nursery since September 2021 and all the staff have been very supportive of our circumstances. My granddaughter looks forward to coming every day and nothing is too much trouble. She loves playing outside, the forest school and all the activities they plan each day. She loves the snack provided every day and recently breakfast has been included which is a great success. They have recently replaced all the plastic toys to wooden and she loves the eco-warrior work they do with her. She loves story time and singing.

April 9, 2023 at 12:00 amThanks to all the kind hearted staff at Head Start Day Nursery. Our daughter absolutely loves going to preschool and really enjoys the activities and playing out in the garden. She’s always really happy (and tired!) when we pick her up. The observation feedback we get is very detailed and shows a lot of care. Would highly recommend.

April 9, 2023 at 12:00 amWe moved to Head Start Day Nursery after our son previously attended another nursery. We are so glad we moved him! Our son gets to take part in Forest School sessions, bake, enjoy the local outdoors and be cared for by lovely teachers. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure our son is well looked after and we are kept informed as parents. They seem to genuinely care about the children. We can’t wait to send our daughter there!

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amSending our fourth child here was the easiest decision to make as our others have all absolutely loved their time here over the years. The nursery has such a family feel and is so warm and welcoming. You know your child is valued and well looked after whilst they are there. The staff are incredible and go above and beyond. I couldn’t wish for a better, loving, safer environment for my little one to learn and thrive in.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amHeadstart is absolutely brilliant.
I fully recommend it with no reservations!
My son went from just after his 3rd birthday, and is now ready for school!
The staff are wonderful, caring, professional and utterly invested in every child.
They always take time at pick up and drop off to answer questions, and make sure they communicated any ways our son was struggling or succeeding, and what we could all do to support him.
My son thrived here. He went from having very few social skills with other kids to someone with his own group of friends! They supported his interests and helped him develop passions in things like maths and reading.
Our favourite things about Headstart:
– they follow the child’s lead
– it has a great setting, with a lovely garden and outside area
– they spend as much time outside as they can
– the staff care genuinely about each child
– the staff are patient and work brilliantly as a team.
He’s ready for school and we’re so grateful for the role Headstart played.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amHead Start Day Nursery is such a wonderful nursery. Finding somewhere to send your child isn’t easy as you have all the worries about whether they are going to be ok but Head Start made the starting transition so easy with such supporting staff alongside the allocation of our child’s key person. If I was ever worried or wanted to ask something, they were always very prompt to answer the phone/email and reassure me of anything I may have been concerned about. Knowing our child’s journey has come to an end ready for big school, we can do nothing less than say a massive thank you for the love and learning you have gave for her starting journey in education.
