Day Nurseries Owned by Family First Day Nurseries in Bedfordshire

Acre Wood Nursery has been amazing with my daughter, I cannot fault them whatsoever. My daughter had specific dietary requirements and medical needs and they have been so supportive with all aspects of her care and learning. I have seen such a big improvement in her speech and confidence since starting Early 2026.

Acre Wood has been a breath of fresh air for our girls from their first day to the last. It will be a very sad day on the last day of Nursery as the girls have been there from day one! All the girls and staff have been Fantastic throughout and will definately be missed especially Helen! Only down side is the fridge could do with being stocked up a bit more!!!

We chose this nursery because we believe it offers the best quality in the area. When our child was still very small and just beginning to walk, we were naturally a bit anxious. The staff reassured us that everything would be fine.

We like that the carers pay close attention to the children, and it's useful to receive photos and updates about daily activities.

We can see when our child logs in and out, when nappies are changed, and when they have eaten.

Overall though, we are happy with the place.

My child is very happy and loves the nursery very much. He loves it so much there. He laughs a lot when he sees the carers. He has developed his movement skills a lot. With every day spent there my boy is developing a lot and beautifully.

I'm able to go to work knowing that my child is being well looked after.

I am delighted that I chose to send my daughter to Manor Farm Day nursery, and I couldn't rate them highly enough! She has absolutely thrived since starting and thoroughly enjoys attending. The staff are all so friendly and caring, and they do so many great activities. My daughter loves the outside space as well. The management team are always really visible, approachable, and the communication that comes out from the nursery is great.

I couldn't name one fault with the team and the setting of the nursery :)

Our son has been attending Manor Farm since 2025 and he is thriving there. His development has been amazing across his social skills and speech. The nursery staff are always friendly and helpful and it's obvious our son enjoys attending and partaking in the wide range of activities. The smaller room sizes is a big draw and have been great for our son to get socialised but not lost in the crowd.

My child absolutely loves Manor Farm, it's like a home from home. The staff are so caring and I feel like my child is well looked after and cared for when she is at the nursery. The nursery always provides regular updates on her progress and I feel like they are just as invested in her growth as I am. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and the staff they do an amazing job.

Everytime my son goes to nursery, he learns something new & the staff tell me exactly everything I need to know about his day. A fantastic place for children to improve their social skills & learning, in a safe & accommodating environment.

We've been with the nursery for 4 years now and have seen a lot of change. Kim, Holly and the staff are brilliant and very good with the kids. since Kim and Holley took over I'd say the nursery has got better with more structure in the morning and runs very smooth. Only thing I'd say is for the kids to have aprons for messy play. Other than that the nursery is fantastic

The Team at Manor Farm Nursery are amazing. My little boy was very anxious being away from me. The team had patience, gained his trust and he is now a happy a little boy who enjoys nursery. The staff know every child and are always so friendly and approachable. Highly recommended

My son attends and I couldn't be happier with my choice. From his very first settling-in session, the staff have been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in his happiness and development. As a parent navigating additional needs, I have been especially blown away by the nursery's SENCO support. The team is incredibly proactive, inclusive, and collaborative. They have worked closely with me to create a tailored environment where my son can thrive at his own pace, ensuring he never misses out on the fun.The nursery feels cozy and welcoming. What I love most is their focus on outdoor play. The garden spaces are fantastic, the kids absolutely thrive during their outdoor activities and forest school sessions.The communication from the team is excellent. We receive regular updates and photos, which give us total peace of mind that he is safe and cared for. I would recommend to anyone in the area! Slightly gutted he will be leaving soon for school.

My child has also been introduced to new foods that at home they won't eat. They now eat fresh fruit (which they would never even touch at home) but happily enjoys at nursery. They have also become more independent with play, eating, tidying up and so much more. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

I am really pleased with the nursery we have chosen for our Daughter to go to. She is very happy and eager for her nursery days. The staff are always friendly and happy and we enjoy and appreciate getting the updates on the family app about our Daughter. We are happy with the variety of food that's on offer and the activities she does. I also really appreciate the staff taking the time at pick up to talk to me about my Daughters day and filling me in on her antics. Overall really pleased with everything so far.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff are really lovely and caring and always have interesting activities for the kids. Most of all I feel really secure leaving my child there which is something I was really anxious about when first selecting a nursery.

Manor Farm have gone above and beyond for me and my family. My boys love coming to nursery, and it is such a joy seeing how much they love it. The activities they provide, food, outdoor activities are great for my boys. The duckings they have introduced are amazing, and it's a non-stop topic. The staff are so kind and really look after my boys. I could not imagine them anywhere else. They also dealt with a safeguarding issue in a professional way which I am grateful for.

Very happy overall with the nursery. Love the new play area with the new toys / activities that have been added and the staff are always so happy and helpful. My two children love going to nursery which is a great comfort as a parent.

thank you enough for looking after our little boy the way you do.

We feel as though it's a safe, fun and educational place for our children to attend.
