August 20, 2015 at 12:00 amReturning to work after having my son was a huge and difficult decision, however, Big Top Nursery have gone above and beyond in supporting my son into settling in there. Big Top Nursery provides a safe, caring and simulating environment and I have complete trust that my son is well cared for. All the staff know and understand him as an individual, and genuinely care about his well-being. His Key Worker has been amazing at supporting his development and we feel very well informed with everything he is doing on a daily basis and communication is excellent. All the staff are incredibly approachable and always take time to speak to us during pick-ups and drop offs. My son has thrived since starting at Big Top and has learnt so much, every day is packed with lots of activities and from the videos and pictures that are emailed to us, it appears he loves every minute! I really couldn’t ask for anything more.

July 19, 2016 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery and pre-school. My boy has been so happy there, made some great friends and the staff are all wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. He has taken part in a huge range of activities and as parents, we have been regularly informed of his progress via EYlog. The atmosphere is very caring-each child is treated as an individual. We shall be really sad in a few weeks when our boy leaves but incredibly grateful that he gained so much from this outstanding place.

July 20, 2016 at 12:00 amBig Top Nursery is one of the most wonderful educational establishments I have ever had the pleasure of being associated with. The ethos is exceptionally positive and our son enjoys attending so much that he often asks to go to nursery when it’s a day off. The staff are welcoming and supportive, and communication is excellent, via face to face feedback and the online system. In my view, everything about Big Top Nursery is outstanding, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

July 28, 2016 at 12:00 amI would very much like to say a very big thank you to Big Top Nursery Waddesdon team for the warmth and standard of care my daughter has received since she has joined in April 2015. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the way the whole team works, from the way we were greeted to the wonderful things they had done with the children to help them develop. I cannot recommend this wonderful team enough – my little girl will miss them dearly as she is now all grown up and ready for the big school. Thank you!

July 26, 2017 at 12:00 amOur twins have been in Big Top since they were 18 months old and they are now 4 getting ready to leave for primary school. They have absolutely loved going to nursery and love the staff. I can’t say enough positive things about the nursery. The manager and her team are brilliant! I always feel they have the children’s best interest and development in mind. My children have really grown in knowledge and confidence. Their facilities and outdoor space are lovely. I would and do recommend Big Top nursery.

August 23, 2017 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been going to Big Top for more than 2 years. On our initial visit, we were impressed by the outside space and the children seemed happy and comfortable with the staff. We have never doubted our choice of nursery. The outside space has just got better and better with more facilities/activities added, including animals and planting. The staff are friendly, helpful and above all, the children have great relationships with them. Indoor activities are also varied regularly and freshly prepared meals provided.

July 19, 2018 at 12:00 amI absolutely love Big Top! The staff are so kind and caring towards the children and always offer a cuddle when they are sad. They keep them happy in a safe environment and offer exciting and stimulating games and learning. Everything is always efficient and we have to ask/wait for nothing! This setting is absolutely amazing and I am so glad my two children have had the opportunity to go! Thank you to all!

July 27, 2018 at 12:00 amAll of the staff are fantastic, they are very caring and nurturing. My daughter is very happy at the nursery and has really developed in her time there. The activities and feedback given to parents is about the day’s involvement including food, sleep and nappies etc., so communication is fantastic.l

August 7, 2018 at 12:00 amExcellent care provided for my child from 9 months through to 4 years. Excellent facilities, the best outdoor setting I have seen. Good communication links with parents through EyLog. The staff are always so welcoming on arrival and excellent feedback at the end of the day. The most important thing is my daughter loves attending so the setting must be right!

August 7, 2018 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery! I viewed three nurseries in the area back in 2015 and as soon as I walked into Big Top Nursery I knew where I wanted my children to go. It’s by far the best nursery and I know that my children are well looked after, so much so that I have also had some staff do childminding for me of an evening. As for development, I am impressed with how advanced my children are academically. I would never have been able to provide them with such a stimulating environment, amazing nursery.

August 23, 2018 at 12:00 amThis nursery is amazing and the staff are first class. Suffering from PND I needed help with childcare for both my boys. They understood and helped me feel comfortable and confident leaving my boys. My boys love it here, they’ve made friends and really grown socially. My eldest sons speech is amazing and I [ut that down to how confident they make him feel. We are always left in the loop with changes. I 100% recommend this nursery. Thank you.

August 27, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Big Top for just over 3 years and is moving up to school shortly. Big Top Nursery has played a hugely important part in her early years education. She has adored her key workers, she’s made secure and happy friendships with other children. All of the staff are wonderful with the children, they take the time to get to know the children and their parents. Thank you for looking after my daughter so wonderfully, it has been a privilege to have been part of the Big Top Nursery family and we will miss you.

August 27, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have been absolutely delighted with the nursery, I honestly don’t have a bad word to say. The staff are all lovely and look after the children so well. They are fun, teach the children so much and have so much patience. We have got to know the staff members really well and have used some of them for personal babysitting and they are just amazing. The rooms are all organised and clean and the outdoor area is absolutely huge. So much space for all the children to run around in. My daughter has loved her time there and has learnt so much. Her confidence has grown and the nursery has made her totally ready for school. She is going to miss it there hugely. Thank you so much to all the staff for making her time there so memorable.

They ensure the children engage in exciting and interesting activities and our daughter has made so much progress socially and academically. We have always been confident that she is safe, thriving and is developing well socially. We couldn’t have hoped for better.

July 26, 2023 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery, great setting with kind and caring staff and management. Both my children attended Big Top Nursery from when they were about 1 year old until going to school. We felt well supported by the nursery in their caring for our children, helping them grow in confidence and socially, with lots of great, varied activities and play-led learning in a safe and friendly environment. Fully recommend.
