Silks Farm Day Nursery and Preschool

Amazing nursery! My son has had ongoing ear infections and struggled with his behaviour. At times he cries, not in pain, but gets very frustrated, taking it out in his behaviour. The staff have been exceptionally patient and offered him extra help from a speech therapist. This has empowered his speech and he is now able to sit down for up to 15 - 20 mins when it used to be seconds. This is because of the staff that work with him.

I know I still have a long way to go with him but he is a full character which the staff embrace. The staff listen and are more than helpful if parents are struggling with any aspect of their child. The Silks Farm team are been brilliant and patient. My son is a strong-minded child and hard work which the but the staff are willing to help him with his development and behaviour to become the character that he is.

Silks is an extremely friendly nursery that puts the child's care first. The staff are welcoming and ensure they get to know each child well. My daughter loves attending Silks and has built strong relationships with the staff and children alike.

Both my girls absolutely love it here. The staff are so great and I always get a lovely update as to what they have been doing each day which is lovely for a busy working mum.

My daughter has been going to Silks since she was 7 months old. All the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure she has had a happy time there. Endless cuddles, especially at drop off time, encouragement to join in meaning her confidence has soared especially being a hedgehog.

I have never felt that she is just another number, she has had 1 to 1 care since the beginning with the help of Tapestry marking her goals and achievements along the way. She still won’t eat fruit or vegetables though, and not through trying!!

I feel very happy entrusting the care of my son to the staff.

I cannot speak highly enough of Silk’s Farm. My son absolutely loves his time at nursery. All of the staff are so welcoming. The love, care and dedication of all the staff is outstanding. I would recommend this nursery without reservation to other parents.

The manager and all the team at Silks Farm are fantastic! They have looked after my daughter since she was 9 months old, she is now 4. She has received the best of care in each of the rooms she has been in and developed close bonds with key workers and staff. The carers are all so attentive and have nurtured her development and encouraged her at every stage.

She has had a couple of episodes of sudden illness and they have given her the best possible care and treatment. I can’t think of anywhere I would rather she had been during these worrying times. The management team have been brilliant guiding us through the recent complications we have experienced whilst applying for additional hours funding! I would have no hesitation in recommending Silks Farm to anyone!

It is comforting in the fact that I don't have to worry about her when she is in the capable hands and I'm sure she will thoroughly enjoy the remainder of her time there before going off to school. What a wonderful nursery. Thanks everyone, definitely the best locally in my opinion.

My little boy has been attending Silks Farm Nursery School since about September 2015. He is in the Little Mice room, and I can honestly say our experience with Silks Farm has been spot on. He is always happy to be attending and again always smiley on pick up. While struggling through reflux problems with my child, all the staff have been so very helpful and understanding of the situation working alongside me to find the route of the problem.

The facilities at the nursery are what stood it apart from me. A real connection with the outside using the animals and forest school is brilliant for the development of the children offering them more than just a classroom learning and experience.

The tapestry online journal is a fantastic way to keep the parents involved and up to date with the child's development and just and insight on what their day includes. When we first joined, it was a brilliant way of knowing how relaxed he was after I'd left.

I recommend Silks Farm all the time.

My little boy only started nursery in September but he settled in really quickly. The staff are great and do a wonderful job at making the children feel safe, secure and loved and are always approachable and friendly. The grounds of the nursery is fantastic allowing plenty of outdoor activities to happen and there is always plenty of things going on indoors. My little boy loves it so much that he never wants to leave, spending extra time in the building and even more time outside visiting the chickens, running around the field and looking at the tractors before thinking of going home. I would definitely recommend Silks Farm Nursery to anyone looking.

My son is very happy when we enter nursery and he doesn't look back when I'm leaving. He is well cared for and my day at work is stress-free when he is there. Contact with nursery is brilliant. They are very friendly and caring.

My son attended the rabbits room in Silks Farm for almost a year, I can vouch entirely for the kindness and care given to him by staff. His confidence grew immeasurably and he still talks about it now. The staff in rabbits room are all calm, kind and lovely. They also were respectful of myself as his mother and observed any of my wishes and always gave me honest feedback on his day all of which I feel are hugely important.

Our two boys have a total of 6 boy-years at Silks Farm and I couldn't be happier with the time that they have spent there. The staff are excellent, it is well run and both boys made excellent progress socially and in pre-school type activities. The extra emphasis on outdoor activities has been good for the last two years.

Our 2 boys now have 6 boy-years in total at Silk's Farm. I couldn't be happier with the nursery, the boys are always up to something new and really want to go. The are always doing something interesting and the recent emphasis on outdoor activities has been really good.

The office staff are very good at keeping parents informed of how they are managing things and if you pop into the office to chat about admin they always greet you with a smile and make time to discuss your issues.

My daughter went to Silks Farm Nursery from July to September 2016. Whilst the care she received was fine, the admin side of things was appalling. When my daughter first started the nursery, one of her sessions was cancelled due to staff shortages. This was a minor inconvenience and I was assured that the session amount would be deducted from my bill the following month. This didn't happen and in fact, every single invoice I received showed that I had not paid for the session. Then I received a bill (that I had paid) 3 times. Myself and my husband spoke to the manager numerous times who repeatedly assured us that we would not receive the bill again. Since leaving Silks Farm I have continued to receive invoices that are for someone else. More phone calls and e-mails and again, the problem continues.

Save yourself the hassle and send your children somewhere else. My daughter now goes to an Ofsted Outstanding rated nursery and the admin process there has been nothing but joy!

Our daughter is so well cared for, she is always so happy when she's there. She is thriving with their help and guidance. Their varied activities, events and experiences that the children are exposed to are brilliant. Thank you for everything.

We couldn't be happier with Silks farm nursery.

The nursery is always clean and tidy and security is fantastic
