I am Emma, the Nursery Manager at Hungry Caterpillars High Wycombe.
With over 20 years of early years’ experience, I am passionate about creating the right atmosphere to allow children to play and explore independently and to be well supported by an experienced staff team. I have experience in caring for children with SEND and can identify how to best support them in a busy nursery environment. I understand the support that parents require when leaving their precious ones in our care and endeavour to provide an environment where parents feel as relaxed as the children do. I look forward to welcoming you to our Hungry Caterpillar family.

Thank you for being amazing. Our daughter loves the nursery and we love her being so happy in there. All staff are incredibly friendly and are looking after the children with lots of care and love. My daughter has many friends and is full of stories when coming home from the nursery. She loves all the games they play, the reading and singing. She enjoys the food as well.
We were extremely lucky to find this nursery as they are connected with us every day through the Famly app. We can see our daughter playing and creating crafts every day. We love that we are kept updated about what is going on in her day. The manager is incredible and has always everything under control. Thank you, thank you and thank you.
Staff at this nursery go above and beyond to organise meaningful and enriching learning opportunities for the children. There is always something new, fun and exciting going on! We are always greeted with a smile and staff make a real effort to form positive relationships with children.
The nursery app is brilliant, I can see photos of my daughter enjoying her activities immediately which reassures me that she is having a good day. Staff are very quick to upload onto the app on a daily basis! I can also check the app to see exactly what she has eaten and how much which is really helpful. Highly recommend this nursery!
Really can’t recommend Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery enough. Our son has been with them from the babies room through to preschool and absolutely loves it. He’s built great relationships with many of the teachers and has made lots of friends. Very safe, lots of fun activities and amazing food. We have our second registered and have recommended to a number of friends.
