Farm View Day Nursery provides a calm and natural learning environment for all children to thrive. They know you want the best for your child. A place where your child is celebrated and recognised for their uniqueness. A safe space to play, explore and grow. A place where they laugh out loud every day.

Perfectly placed in the picturesque and peaceful countryside of Spencers Wood, the nursery is situated amongst natural green spaces that maximise outdoor learning. The team provide full-time care within a caring, secure and happy environment in which children can flourish socially, physically and emotionally.

The nursery is fully equipped with five age-appropriate rooms that offer care for children between the ages of 8 weeks to 5 years old. Each room is thoughtfully designed, and equipped with learning resources that encourage age-appropriate development and learning.

The loyal and highly experienced team provide a safe and stimulating environment where children can explore their interests, from arts and crafts to sensory play and phonics. Plus, with unrivalled natural outdoor space and farmland right on the doorstep, they can discover the wonders of nature too!

Conveniently located just 5 minutes from the A33 and M4, the setting makes it easy for busy parents to travel to and from the nursery. There are plenty of parking spaces too so pick up and drop off is really convenient and where you're not rushed out the door. It is most definitely worth the extra mile.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery has a positive and beneficial attitude towards childrens development. We have seen great improvements in our daughter since settling into the school environment over the past month. The staff are very helpful and friendly, whilst being informative about any activities or achievements our
daughter has done during her day.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.766 for Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.766
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Amy Bevan

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2017

I gained my Diploma in Childcare in 2008 and have worked in different settings with a variety of age groups, ever since. One of these was a Swiss nursery, which I found very interesting and a lot of fun. I have been a team member at Farm View since 2013 and enjoy working with the team and the children.


I enjoy providing creative activities for the children and I believe that if you aren't messy then you're not exploring the activity to the fullest!! I aim for the children in my care to have as much fun as possible and love to be able to provide them with many learning opportunities along the way.
