Excellent nursery. I feel so confident and assured when I leave my son here. The staff are very friendly and thorough with handovers. The app they use is brilliant as you can see how your little one is getting on, what they have eaten and how much and you can also send messages which they reply to very quickly. Very honest, open and brilliant nursery.

We really feel so fortunate this this lovely nursery has opened in Wendover. The staff are just lovely. Emma and her staff were very welcoming and I immediately loved the small setting and the warmth of the place. During the summer Emma went the extra mile to accommodate 2 of my children, being super flexible and help us sort things. I have been so impressed at her unwavering dedication to her clients during this difficult year. Our 18 month old has a lovely time at nursery. The food is all cooked fresh and he devours it all! Thank you a million times.

The Team at Buds are always so friendly and welcoming and my daughter really enjoys her time there. It’s good to know that there is a lot of space both indoors and outdoors that she can enjoy playing in all year round. The team at Buds always keep us well informed with what our daughter has been up to, any developments in her learning and the activities planned. It’s also reassuring to know that the food is freshly prepared on the day and we have a weekly menu provided. All in all we are very happy with Buds and would not hesitate to recommend their excellent nursery.

I couldn’t be happier to have my daughter at this nursery. It’s modern, clean and just a wonderful place for the children to learn. The staff are super friendly and my daughter can’t wait to go to them at the beginning of the day. Great food which is super healthy and imaginative. I don’t think she wants to come home at the end of the day 😂
