Orchard Barns Ardleigh

I have recommended Orchard Barns to several friends that have had children in the past year or so. I can see first hand the development each month from my son, but also how happy he is at the nursery. The nursery itself is very well managed and the staff are fantastic. I wouldn't want my son anywhere else for his early years leading up to school.

Amazing! Absolutely love this nursery. They treat my little one as if he was their own. The nursery is always clean, tidy and beautifully decorated. I could not praise them enough. They are always so accommodating and efficient. My little one is so happy here and always has lots of exciting and fun activities each day, as well as beautiful homemade meals that are prepared and cooked on-site by a chef. I love how much time they spend outdoors and let children explore and get hands-on. I always feel safe and confident with my little one in their hands. Will recommend them to friends and family for sure. Thank you!

Such a friendly welcoming nursery! Our daughter has been attending for a few months and the staff have been brilliant at settling her in. The registration process ran so smoothly and we feel very happy knowing our daughter is in safe hands. The menus are fantastic and our daughter seems to really enjoy lunchtime. Throughout our daughter's stay we receive regular updates and photos which is very reassuring and we receive regular assessments of her progress.

Both my children absolutely love nursery. They make them feel so comfortable and they can't wait to tell me about their day! They can't wait to go in the morning to see both the girls and all their friends.

My son is always happy to go to nursery and always greets me with a smile on collection. It’s such a relief to know that he is being well cared for, stimulated and making new friends. I can’t thank all the staff enough and I’m looking forward to increasing his hours soon!

The staff have done amazing during the COVID-19 crisis - they kept in contact the whole time and we have had a seamless transition back into nursery. I really cannot recommend Orchard Barns more highly.

Attentive staff, lots of outdoor space, clean environment, happy kids and excellent food.

Orchard Barns is a first-class nursery where children are encouraged and nurtured by staff members who are more like family. We would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

My daughter loves the outdoors so we are thrilled Orchard Barns are able to offer outside play in any weather - due to their undercover outside areas and the large garden. The activities they do are great - we love our updates via the app. Also, the food menu they offer is fantastic. We have noticed our daughter is eating more and is willing to try different food since being at the nursery. Overall we could not recommend the nursery more! Thanks for all your hard work.

Fantastic staff at Orchard Barns, they look after the children really well and have so much enthusiasm for what they do. My kids have both loved being here. When they left for school they were really well prepared for this next stage in their life.

We have been using Orchard Barns Ardleigh for 5/6 years now having had both of my children in their care. We found their structure in terms of grouping ages, the day format and the focus on all areas of emotional development to be the perfect fit for us. Queries are answered quickly and efficiently. However above all that the strongest part of this nursery are it's staff. They are caring, nurturing and encouraging and have always given opportunities for my children to flourish no matter what room they have been in. Thank you.

First impression of the nursery is WOW, the nursery is a purpose built setting, and looks amazing. All of the staff are lovely, welcoming and put you at ease. My son loves coming into the nursery and its all he talks about at home. The staff take their time with you and always answer your questions and if they were unsure they would speak to their manager and get back to you. The garden areas are amazing, the babies have their own garden and the older ones have outside classrooms as well as a big garden with climbing equipment. Overall I cannot thank the staff enough.
