Mead Open Farm Day Nursery

from Adrienne C (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mead Open Farm has been a great choice for our baby. He joined when he was just 10 months old and over the course of a few months he has attended more sessions per week. The admin team have been very accommodating. The baby room staff have been very attentive with his development and comfort and we've
seen him move more, talk more and really grow into his personality. You can tell they really care for the babies. They've taken great care with his allergy and changing sleep needs.


I think they go out to the farm each day but this usually falls over his nap time. However, when he's older I think he'll love this. The only area I'd improve is communication via the app. Some weeks we don't get any photos or details of what he's done throughout the day. The record of his sleep, meals and nappies is quite hit and miss. Talking to other friends, I think other nurseries keep much more detailed records.

Mead Open Farm Day Nursery

from S W (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All the staff we've met are so nice and friendly, they always stop and talk if they have time, if not always a hello or goodbye. 2025 has been full of events for kids and parents to join, which has been lovely and well communicated on app and nursery. The staff management and key workers listen to all
needs. They have a good variety of foods for lunch and dinner. I just wonder if Mead could do with more space for the kids to be in, in and at door? Value for money.. it seemed fair but new increase seems a little much, but we love the nursery, many staff I'd love to mention due to being very happy with.
Reply from Vikki Bosworthick-Bass, Nursery Manager at Mead Open Farm Day NurseryHi Sabrina,
Thank you for your kind words and we are happy to hear that all the parents events we have hosted over the last year have been well communicated and beneficial for the Mead Community.
Regarding outside space, we have many gardens spaces for the children to access throughout the day as well as the farm, which is a daily part of our nursery and is treated as an extension of our gardens and outside space. We always do our best to utilise our outside spaces and ensure the children are getting the most from them.
I am happy to hear that our team are always friendly and welcoming and I will be sure to pass this on to them, as it's always nice to hear such lovely feedback. Many thanks :)

All I can say is thank you to Mead open farm for the care of my son. He has come on leaps and bounds since being at Mead, he may of only started in February 2025 but mini farmers (preschool) have gone above and beyond for him and me and my partner are so grateful. He and his key worker had a wonderful
bond and it shows as he was always coming home talking about her. In addition to this they provided extra support for him as he struggled through transition times. He is off to school in a weeks time but he will never forget his time at mead that's for sure. So thank you again Mead!
Reply from Vikki Bosworthick-Bass, Nursery Manager at Mead Open Farm Day NurseryThank you so much for your wonderful words. We're delighted to hear how much your son has grown and developed since joining Mead Open Farm, and it's so lovely to know he formed such a special bond with his key worker. Supporting children through transitions is something we take great care with, so we're thrilled that he felt happy and confident throughout. It's been a joy to be part of his journey, and we wish him all the best as he starts school - he will always be part of the Mead family!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two children went to the Mead farm activity holiday camp and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is so much for them to do whilst there including climbing walls, silent disco, foam party, jumping pillows, indoor softplay, seeing the animals and playgrounds. The staff are very welcoming, attentive and friendly
so they felt comfortable and were well cared for throughout the day.
All food is provided aswell; mine are quite fussy eaters but liked everything that was provided which was a well balanced variety. We use the holiday camp each year as feel it is great value for money and something they really enjoy!
Reply from v, Senior Manager at Mead Open Farm Day NurseryHi Charlotte, Thank you for your review. I'm so glad to hear that you two children had such fun at our holiday camp and were able to enjoy a wide range of activities and experiences. I will pass this on to the team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Mead for several months and we couldn't be happier with our experience. She absolutely loves the staff, who are all so warm and attentive. It's clear they genuinely care about the children and create such a positive and engaging environment.
One of her favorite things is visiting
the farm. She loves it so much that we even take her there on days she's not at nursery! It's fantastic that the nursery offers such unique and enriching activities. We also love that she always comes home messy and happy, which to us is a sign of a great day filled with fun and exploration.
We are so grateful for the wonderful care and experiences she receives at Mead, she loves all the staff their efforts are appreciated. We highly recommend Mead to everyone looking for a nursery.
Thank you all.
Reply from Vikki Bosworthick-Bass, Manager at Mead Open Farm Day NurseryHi Ricky, Thank you for your review, I am really happy to hear that your daughter is having so much fun here and is having such a great experience. I will pass this on to the team as they will love the positive feedback.

My child experience for his first week at Open Mead. The staff are wonderful, providing extra support to each child's needs (SEND) and the environment is nurturing. My son loved the variety of activities which kept the my child engaged and stimulated throughout his time. My son said the food was delicious
- which is a plus! Amazing communication from the staff on a daily basis, and I felt incredibly lucky to found a place that welcomed all children's backgrounds. I feel confident that my son is safe, and looked after and gives me a great peace of mind while I'm working. Highly recommend. Thank you to the manager and her team . I appreciate all that you have done, to make my son's time special.

Lovely staff! That's what makes it so special (Nicola) fantastic activities. Lots to do, never bored. Only thing mine don't like is the food, more nursery food (vegan curry's) kids just like pack lunches for day camps. That's what makes it more fun! Apart from that, great all round.

My daughter has attended Mead Open Farm Day Nursery since September 2021. We couldn’t ask for a more loving, nurturing environment for her and we can really see how much she learns while at nursery. All the staff are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the children and they build great relationships
with parents too. They value outdoor play and the daily trips to the farm are fantastic. We can’t fault them and now we’re looking forward to our youngest daughter starting this September too!

Really happy with this nursery and the ladies that take care of my 3-year-old daughter. The environment is safe and fun with a great variety of activities. The nursery also does a lot of outside activities with them such as taking them to the farm. The ladies are all lovely and also support us on anything
that we are trying to improve at home in the nursery which is so important. For example, learning to express feelings. Thank you everyone for taking such good care of my daughter.

Great place and setting. My child has really settled in well and we can see the difference each week. Our child has also learned to use a spoon for eating and has enjoyed the farm and outdoor time. The indoor space is also quite big and feels natural with a lot of light coming in. The staff identified
his likes and used them to ease his settling in. All the staff in the toddler room easily recognise the name of my child and they remember the parents as well from day 1. It really shows they care for the child and makes us feel comfortable leaving our child with them.

The staff have been wonderful at settling my very nervous toddler. They worked with us and treated him as an individual. All the staff are very kind and caring whilst coming across as very professional. The admin/finance is streamlined and has good processes, with dedicated office staff.
The space
is impressive for preschool and is always clean and tidy. They have a lovely garden and have access to Mead Farm which they visit most days.
I was very nervous about choosing the right setting for my son, but I have no doubt that I absolutely did.

I have had children attending Mead Open Farm Day Nursery since 2019 and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the setting to other parents.
Recently, we attended a parent’s evening to meet our child’s key worker, which was a fantastic opportunity to discuss their development. We also attended an evening
event for Bonfire Night, which was great fun for all of the family. The different craft activities were clever and enjoyable, and it was lovely to get to chat with staff and other parents.
Overall, the staff are all very welcoming and friendly and seem to genuinely care about my children.

Our child started in May 2023. Everyone working at Mead Farm have been so welcoming and so warm, my son usually finds it hard to be around a lot of noise and kids but they made him settle in so well, he’s now part of that noise and plays with all the kids. Compared to when I first admitted him, he kept
to himself. I want to shout out a certain staff member who is absolutely amazing. Thank you all for the warmth and playfulness you provide, we really appreciate it when our kids come smiling and happy while leaving Mead Open Farm Nursery. They do so many brilliant activities including visiting the farm and tractor rides, it’s just a lovely place to be. Amazing events as well.

Our son has come on leaps and bounds since starting five-day full attendance at Open Mead in September. A significant improvement from when he was with a local childminder before. He no longer cries at drop-off and happily walks in and goes to play. Two particular ladies are great key workers, as are
the rest, who facilitate pickup handovers.
