Moat Barn Nursery School

Especially when staff provide frequent updates & observations and are reassuring when answering any queries :)

Absolutely wonderful inclusive nursery with very warm staff. Feel very comfortable leaving my children here. They are very on the ball with first aid, Makaton and early intervention for SEND. Fantastic outdoor play areas too that my eldest sorely missed when she moved to big school. Highly recommend!

Lovely nursery, we viewed a few and decided this was the best option. The staff and other children seem to be enjoy being there as does our daughter. It's great that they have the option of the forest school also

The staff at Moat Barn really take the time to look after Miles and let him enjoy all that they offer. Miles has thrived in the setting and it's his favourite place. Their school readiness programme and curriculum is engaging and leading Miles to be the best that he can be and excited for his next steps.

We were struggling to find a nursery for our daughter as we are fairly new to the area and we had a look at Moat Barn's website and it looked great. We booked to have a look around and loved it. Our daughter enjoyed it too and didn't want to leave when it was time to go. She has been attending Moat Barn for 3 months and already she has come a long way in her confidence, speech, interacting with other children, her knowledge for recognizing numbers, colours and shapes, she loves mini-melodies and also doing sign language when singing and asking for things. The staff here are all lovely and have helped our daughter settle in brilliantly since she started as she had never been in a nursery before. She talks about nursery whenever she speaks to family from back home. We would highly recommend Moat Barn to anybody looking for childcare.

What a fantastic nursery! Excellent staff, location, facilities, activities, simply everything you could wish for in a nursery. Mini melodies and football all included! We moved our 2 year old from a previous nursery - she loved her previous nursery but we have had no tears, issues or questions to go to her old nursery. This demonstrates how fantastic the staff are! Everyday we get a picture too! The online journal is fantastic! We can look at her progress and the facilities allow you to view videos too! I love this nursery! I think it would be hard to find a better nursery anywhere!

My son joined the nursery when he was 3 years old. I chose the nursery because of its setting and excellent outdoors space. My son settled in straight away and really bonded with his key person. My son enjoys riding the bikes, playing on the slides, sands pit. He also enjoys the activities such as swimming and Forest School. I cannot recommend nursery enough after seeing how happy my son is at nursery. My son once said that he would like to live at the nursery because of all the toys as long as mummy and dads stayed too.

We are very happy with Moat Barn Nursery as our son has settled in very well and grown in confidence since he started, he is thriving! There are many different activities for the children to do and we are always given a very detailed report at the end of each day.

My little girl has been going to nursery for 3 months, in this time her confidence has grown remarkably. All the staff are fantastic, they update me after every session with what my daughter has done. She has dietary requirements which the nursery are aware of and are really understanding. My daughter gets so excited on the journey to nursery and thoroughly enjoys her time there, which makes it so much easier to leave her for the day. I have already recommended this nursery to friends and would not consider sending her anywhere else.

My son has attended Moat Barn Nursery School four days a week for 2 years since he was 6 months old. From the very first day I have been very confident that he has been in very safe hands. They have taken genuine interest in him as an individual and have supported any decisions I wanted to make in relation to food he was given, nap times and any concerns I have had have always been made to feel as upmost important. The staff my son has had as key workers are utterly professional, caring and firm in just the right quantities. I have and would totally recommend Moat Barn Nursery School to other families in the area!
