Would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Absolutely fantastic nursery, my son currently goes here and has been attending since January time and the girls in the baby room are amazing. They really don't get enough credit for all the amazing hard work they do. I can't wait to watch my son continue to grow with the help of the amazing fairfeild girls

My daughter went here from 9 months ,she loved it. She couldnt wait to get in the car and tell me all about cooking club, french class and all the crafty things she got up too. My youngest now goes and loves playing outside and getting messy .. the sign shes had a good time. The staff are lovely and it is clear how much they care for all the children in their care.

I am really lucky to be able to say that I walk away from dropping my daughter at Fairfield with full confidence that, not only will she have all her needs met with kindness and care, but that she is going to have an enriching and exciting day. My reassurance has been built through the relationships my daughter has with all members of the team, wether or not they are her key worker, and how well they know all of her quirks and things she loves. Fairfield provides different themed weeks, lots of outdoor time, delicious food and daily updates on the parenting app. It's evident all the staff love their job and I couldn't think of anywhere I would rather send my daughter to.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their child. Thank you to all the amazing staff for everything you do!

Absolute amazing nursery! So caring and understanding. Helped us through so many things. Really supportive when my little boy got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and have been since. Couldn't ask for a better nursery for my boy.

I cannot recommend this wonderful nursery highly enough. When my daughter first started, she struggled immensely with settling in, and as a parent, it was incredibly hard to leave her. However, the patience, warmth, and genuine care shown by her teachers Lauren and Lola has completely transformed my daughter. My daughter has gone from crying at the door to walking in with a smile. She absolutely loves nursery and is now thriving.

Hollybank really is a 5 star nursery!

Both of my boys have attended Oakwood from 11 months until pre-school room age. They both surprise us with the amazing stories they tell us about what they have been up to and the staff are all very invested in their learning and wellbeing. Our boys have made lasting connections with the staff, who nurture and support them throughout their time there. We picked the nursery mainly because it was big room sizes, with lots of opportunities for kids to make friends, and the large outdoor exploring area. The play they are allowed to explore in the woodland is amazing, and we're glad they get to explore and take risks in the outdoors. We would choose Oakwood house again.

With it being a forest school the emphasis on playing outside is imperative and now the weather is nice our daughter seems to have grown leaps and bounds in confidence outside. We've already got our baby son booked to start when I return to work. They have an app where you get regular updates on what the children are doing and regular photos through out the day. My child always comes home with paintings and drawings and clearly enjoys her days at nursery. She has a key worker again Cody who shows real enthusiasm with the children and I feel happy knowing my child is being monitored by her. We have regular catch ups to discuss my child and how she is being with Cody and the other children I'm so glad I found this nursery would recommend to everyone

Oakwood House has a wonderful nurturing environment for children from babies to pre school age, with incredible outdoor space. The forest school was the main reason we chose this nursery when our daughter started nursery in 2023 & now we have two children who attend & spending so much time outdoor is amazing for their resilience and development. The staff are wonderfully kind and caring and all build such amazing relationships with the children and parents alike. Management is very good - responsive & helpful.

Our baby graduated this summer, and while it's bittersweet to say goodbye, we leave with the happiest memories and the reassurance

My son has attended this nursery for roughly 2 years his experience of this nursery is exceptional, he has quite a few needs emotionally and now coming to the end of his nursery journey I feel like they have gone above and beyond for him meaning I am 100% confident in him entering his school journey and all thanks to harlequin they are an excellent nursery and I would recommend them to anyone sending their child to a nursery setting

My 4 year old daughter and nearly 2 year old son attend Harlequin - my daughter has been going since she was 17 months old.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Harlequin. It's a warm and friendly nursery and the staff are very caring. My daughter runs in happily every morning, and they've really helped my son settle who goes in happily too.

The food is fantastic, they get lots of time outdoors which they love, and both of my children have come along in their development and social skills since attending.

I would happily recommend this nursery to anyone and am so pleased we chose here for our children.

All round 5 stars would recommend.

If there was one thing I would mention is the older she has got the less communication we get, you stop getting daily photos/report of the day on the app and it's all verbal by Pre school age, it would be nice to see more photos throughout the month of what she has done.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now, whilst she has struggled with a bit of separation anxiety the improvement over the last few months has been amazing and that is partly to do with the nursery. The staff are great and she loves her days in nursery and even gets exited at the mention of it! Thank you to all the staff for their continued support and care.

Would definitely recommend harlequins. The staff are fantastic and our little boy talks about them non stop. The nursery itself has lots of things for them to explore both indoors and outdoors. Communication is fantastic and we look forward to seeing updates on the app.

Both my children have settled extremely well into Harlequin and the staff have done a fantastic job at making sure all their individual needs are being met! I am extremely grateful to all the staff that have made the transition easy and provided a lot of relief to us anxious parents!

As parents we love knowing that our daughter gets lovely nutritious food whilst at nursery.
