Second Steps Day Nursery

from C F (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend Second Steps enough! I know we made the right decision for our son to attend nursery here - the staff are all so kind, friendly and capable, and they truly do care so much. My son has additional needs and they have gladly stepped up at every opportunity to ensure he is fully supported.
I can go to work knowing he is having the best day and is in safe hands!

My son has been at Second Steps nursery since May 2025. The nursery staff are fantastic, provide great care and have really invested in his development. They are responsive, give thorough updates and always have a range of activities happening in his room. I would recommend the nursery to other parents.

Orchard Barns Ardleigh

from D H (Father of Child) published on 5 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Behind the friendly front, this nursery is run by a head office that puts profits before families.
We stayed loyal to Orchard Barns Ardleigh despite it receiving a poor Ofsted review, because we didn't want to disrupt our children.
That loyalty was rewarded with two fee increases in less than a year,
adding over £3,000 extra for one child.
We rejected the September 2023 increase in writing and asked multiple times to discuss it - no meeting was ever arranged. In our final month we accidentally overpaid (partly because no final invoice was issued) and the nursery has refused to refund the money.
While some of the staff are caring, the management's handling of fees, communication and fairness is unacceptable. I would strongly recommend parents look elsewhere - behind the scenes this nursery is not being run in the best interests of families or children.
Reply from Sophie Brooks, Manager at Orchard Barns ArdleighThank you for your review, your opinion matters to us here at Orchard Barns. As you are aware your query is being dealt with by our head office.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of the staff at Nursery on the Heath really do love and are for all of the children there. I always feel confident and happy dropping my daughter off and know that she is going to have a fun filled day. The staff always keep you well informed about your little ones day and the social media page
is a great addition to see all of the lovely photos. I never worry that my daughter will be unsafe or not well cared for on her days at nursery and this is such a big reassurance for parents.

Orchard Barns Ardleigh

from S W (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has now been at Orchard Barns for 2.5 years and in that time has grown and developed so much. He has so much fun with his friends and is always so full of beans when I go to pick him up. Now he's in the pre-school room he's in full preparation mode for when he goes to school in September and
I feel really confident he'll be in a great position for that transition. My daughter also recently started at the nursery in the pre-toddlers room. The staff have been really supportive and reassuring as she's been settling in, with plenty of updates during the day which has been really helpful at such an emotional time as I head back to work after maternity leave.
Reply from Sophie Brooks, Manager at Orchard Barns ArdleighThank you for your lovely feedback, it means so much to us! I'm glad that you have felt reassured whilst your daughter has settled here with us and that your son has enjoyed his time here with us at Orchard Barns he will be truly missed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had such a positive experience with this nursery. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's development. My little one settled in quickly, which really put my mind at ease. Communication is great, and I love the updates and photos we receive-it's lovely seeing what they
get up to each day. The environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging activities. I've seen such a boost in my child's confidence and social skills since starting here. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive setting!

An amazing nursery, my son has SEN problems, and they have been brilliant with getting him to drink and eat. He has learned so much, and his speech has come on so much with their help. The manager has been amazing, she has gone above and beyond to help me with his problems and always finds a solution
to help him. Best nursery he has been to, and currently helping him get ready for school.

Orchard Barns Ardleigh

from mykela m (Mother of Child) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Orchard Barns for the past 18 months. Any anticipation was very quickly eased as on show around my daughter ran off to play and didn't want to leave. She has completely thrived at Orchard Barns. The staff are very friendly and approachable and help with any thing you need. They
do loads of activities and events throughout the year, including having a photographer in twice a year. My daughter even when she was quite fussy with food, eats everything of Gary's cooking, she loves it. I can't thank the Orchard Barns team enough for all their care and help in enabling our daughter to grow and learn.

Orchard Barns Ardleigh

from Hannah T (Mother of Child) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at orchard barns since she was a baby and will be leaving this September to go to school. My son is currently in the pretoddler room. We joined at a time when there was a lot of change within the nursery and it's evident how things have turned around in that time. With new management
and strong room leadership, we've really seen a change in the nursery. Both of my children absolutely love going in, and have really strong relationships with all the staff. I always feel like I can discuss anything with their key people and feel reassured that we are working in partnership to support my children. The space itself is lovely with a big outdoor garden and outdoor classrooms for each room. There are always interesting activities going on and both of my children have developed really quickly. I know my daughter will really miss going and will particularly miss all the staff who she loves. Highly recommend and definitely worth a visit.
Reply from Sophie Brooks, Manager at Orchard Barns ArdleighThank you for your kind feedback, it means a lot to us. I'm glad both children enjoy coming to nursery and that you feel comfortable to raise anything with staff.

Both my children have been at Butterfly Blue since just before they were 1 (they are now 6 and 4). They've both had a lovely time there and been very well looked after. Their keypersons have been really nice and there have been the same staff there for a long time which is nice. They prepare them really
well for school and do lots of nice activities.
