My daughter goes to Farrance Nursery, and their service and their facilities are excellent. Staff are very helpful. We feel safe sending our daughter to this nursery. Overall, we are having a good experience with this nursery.
Playing, learning and reading, every activity is well prepared and happy for the outcome!
Farrance Road has been a wonderful place for my child. It is always hard to leave your children, but the staff at Farrance Road have all made it easy. Their friendly approach to parents and children means my child loves nursery and can't wait to go. Thank you for all your hard work and care.
The staff are knowledgable and caring. They provide great comfort to the children as they go through all manner of emotions!
Staff regularly update their parenting app, which helps understand what the children have eaten and how long they have napped and gives a weekly overview of activities.
Nursery isn’t cheap, but if you want to retain a high calibre of staff and ensure they are well paid, it’s the compromise you have to make.
The teachers know all the children, which is comforting.
I’m extremely happy with the environment at the nursery my daughter really enjoys spending her time there. Staff at the nursery are very helpful and friendly also professional. My daughter joined the nursery in January 2023 and since then I’ve not had a single complaint about the nursery. Thumbs up to all the members. Many thanks.
Thank you Farrance for looking after my little one and helping get him ready for school.
Our child had a good time in the nursery, but some of the areas where we think there could be an improvement - ex-staff could be more helpful in terms of potty training. Overall we had a good experience. But could be more memorable.
I want to express our profound gratitude for the exceptional care and education my son has received at your nursery school. The positive impact on his academic and emotional growth is truly remarkable. Your dedicated staff, enriching curriculum, and nurturing environment have provided him with a solid foundation. We appreciate your commitment to fostering a love for learning, character development, and regular parent engagement. Farrance Nursery is not just a school; it's a second home where our son thrives. We are excited for his future, knowing he's well-prepared, thanks to you.
The nursery environment is calm, nurturing and always set up with plenty of play and exploration for the children. Staff definitely put lots of thought into the planning of activities!
The food which is provided for the children is varied and healthy. They take food allergies and tolerances very seriously and provide food accordingly.
Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and I know my little one was too as he never wanted to leave at the end of each session! Thank you very much for all your hard work!
My son has been at this nursery for 4 years now and he loves it. As a mum, I find this nursery outstanding. They really pay attention to the things that come up at home - for example my boy keeps putting things in his mouth so they did an activity about what goes in your mouth and what doesn't. He keeps asking for a daddy and so they did an activity about how all families are different and so on. The staff are amazing and I trust them implicitly. My son is in pre-school now which is run by the manager who is also his key worker. She is an absolute diamond and he just loves her. I've witnessed her grow and flourish in the time my son has been there and so it is clear that the nursery is committed to staff development. The nursery manager is a compassionate, helpful, approachable individual who is always ready to help should any issues crop up. My son has received an extraordinary level of care at this nursery and I would not hesitate to recommend it (and often do!).
I am very pleased with this nursery. Staff are very polite and jolly. They communicate excellently about your child. The learning environment is great. My only concern is that the food could be more children/kids choice e.g Spaghetti and Meatballs, Chicken Nuggets and Fries, Fish Sticks, but other than that fruit and drink are excellent.
Furze is a great nursery. Our son has been there for just under a year and we are happy with it. However, the meals could use a little improvement.
Furze Children's Centre Nursery have friendly staff. They always give me feedback of how my child has been at the nursery. My child is happy and I can see this through his behaviour. My child has learnt many new skills whilst attending nursery.
There were some issues with staff turnover last year but this seems to have been resolved. Staff members are friendly and seem to work hard. However, some staff are better than others at communicating with me about my child's daily activities.
Furze Children's Centre Nursery is very good. Staff friendly and helpful. They seem to truly care for the children and do what they can to help the children develop. Only thing is, they are sometimes very busy they are not able to pay full attention to some of child's needs i.e frequent change of nappy. Resulting child having a sore bum. Overall, they are very good, just wish they have more staff on hand.
My husband and I believe that choosing Furze Children's Centre Nursery on Farrance Road is one of the best decisions we have taken for the care of our little toddlers. The staff is extremely caring and empathetic with the kids and parents. Our children are definitely blossoming and enjoying nursery while learning the essential age related skills. Thank you Furze.

Hello, my name is Richard and I've been at LEYF for 13 years. I helped set up the nursery in 2008 and was manager for eight years, before returning in 2021. I like to achieve a good balance between office-based tasks and being hands-on in the room, supporting the team. This also allows me to know the children and provide opportunities for fun activities to extend their learning, including singing, stories and creative play.
