Amazing nursery and team. Both my children go there. Such a high standard. I cannot recommend Springfield highly enough 5 stars. Great outdoor facility's with farm animals, lots of space and a very clean safe environment too.

Not only is this nursery set in the most idyllic setting in North Devon, overlooking the Taw and out to Appledore, the facilities are superior. The equipment is in good condition, plentiful and all designed for little people. The staff at Springfield are very professional and certainly come across
as very caring. There is an outside / inside policy which means that the children can always go outside whatever the weather, which means there is a lot of freedom for the children to play in a extremely safe environment. Plus they have the added benefit of going out to see the animals on the adjoining farm, which my son absolutely loves. There is no doubt in my mind this is the best nursery in North Devon.

Springfield is an amazing nursery, the staff are fantastic, the location is incredible. It offers children a great introduction to the outdoors, animals and growing veg as well as imaginative indoor activities to keep the children amused! The staff are enthusiastic and passionate and you can tell they
genuinely enjoy their jobs and care about the wellbeing of the children they look after. My daughter absolutely loves nursery and it's so reassuring to us that she is getting the best possible start to nursery/education. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Such a fab place, especially the baby room!
The setting is so lovely and having the animals right next door for the children to see and interact with is just invaluable!
A nursery in the countryside yet just 10 minutes out of town.

This is a fantastic nursery. Everyone there is very caring. Most importantly the children are happy and have a great time. Lots of different experiences available by being a country based nursery. My grandchildren and their friends had the best possible start to their social lives. The nursery also
caters for after school and holidays. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Springfield nursery enough, my daughter loves going. The staff are always friendly and know my daughter very well. The outside facilities they have available are fantastic, the children do forest schools and are able to use the outdoors to enhance their learning.

Review from Naomi M (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started Springfield when she was just 8 months old and is so very happy there.
My son had been to a nursery in my home village, but 6 years on, I wasn't happy with that nursery for my daughter. A friend recommended Springfield and as soon as I went to look around, I fell in love, so got
her on the waiting list.
The staff are really caring and happy, they do everything and more you want them to and Management are really accessible should you need them.
The owner is always there and works so hard to ensure the nursery is tiptop.
The girls in the baby room are lovely, I cannot recommend them any higher. The areas are all clean and full of educational items. The outside areas are out of this world, with farm animals and so much for the little ones to do.
I travel 40 minutes round trip for my daughter to go to Springfield. I think that alone is a recommendation!

Both my 4 year old and 1 year old attend Springfield Nursery, each starting at 10 months. Both kids have had a great experience. It's so reassuring to leave your children where you can trust all the staff to really look after them, and give them a fun day. Due to it being based on a farm the children
get a very varied day and experiences they are unlikely to get elsewhere. They get outside every day which is great. Would definitely recommend Springfield.

An amazing environment for kids. Both of my girls love everything about it. I cannot recommend it enough. The staff are fab and know the children so well and where else do your kids get to feed the pigs, cuddle the lambs and collect eggs from the chickens?!

Can't praise Springfield enough! It's an amazing nursery with lovely staff and great facilities. My little boy is now tractor mad from visiting the farm next door and seeing all the animals - you just don't get an experience like that at most nursery's. His key-worker is so well bonded with him that
she's like a second mum and I've never had any concerns leaving him. We'll be sending our second child when I finish my maternity leave. Can't recommend enough.

Springfield nursery is a fantastic place. People are fantastic, admin side is always spot on, facilities/outside space are second to none. If you live in Devon you probably want your child to be able to enjoy the countryside even whilst at nursery and Springfield fulfills this beyond your wildest dreams.


Both my daughters love Springfield, cannot recommend it highly enough.

Springfield is by far the best nursery in North Devon.
When I drop my daughter off I want to stay myself, there is so much outdoor space with beautiful views and animals that they go and feed.
Messy play, singing, bug hunts and making pizza are just a few things my daughter loves the most.
I've
never had a day when she hasn't wanted to go. So glad we found out about the place.

Springfield is an excellent nursery, it has amazing outdoor space and with the opportunity for the children to meet all the different animals on the farm on a regular basis. The indoor areas are spacious with lots of optional activities for them to occupy and expand their minds.
My child has been
there for over 2 years now and risen up from the baby room to the barn and loves it. The staff are always welcoming and the whole site has a great atmosphere.

My daughter only attends nursery one day a week but asks to go everyday. She is very happy at Springfield. She is cared for amazingly and has made some lovely friends. Springfield is on a working farm and the children spend lots of time outside and visiting the farm. This week they saw the donkeys,
which my daughter loved. Springfield is such a wonderful caring environment for any child to spend time in.

Review from Celia F (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Such a fantastic professional nursery, both my boys have been going since they were 11 months old, the eldest finished last September but still returns to use the holiday club facility which he loves as its structured and they do loads of fun activities. My youngest is always so excited to go and especially
loves seeing the farm vehicles and visiting the pig!
Being situated on a farm the outside spaces are outstanding. They include a garden where they grow vegetables, various animal pens and lots of child friendly space for playing. The children are able to access these during all weathers, my youngest likes nothing better than getting kitted out in wellies and going puddle jumping!
The staff are very friendly and professional and have always maintained excellent communication. A truly brilliant all round nursery, I recommend them to everyone with young children and it is the only place I am comfortable and happy to leave my children.

I have had children at this nursery since 2011 and have been exceptionally happy with the service. My children have absolutely loved it there right through from the baby room to preschool in the Barn. The space is fantastic, as is the time they spend outdoors, and the staff have all been great. I would
highly recommend Springfield.

Both of my children have attended Springfield and have loved every minute. My youngest starts school in September and I'm going to be so sad to be leaving there.


The fact it's on a working farm makes it unique. How many other nurseries can your kids come home and say "we fed the pig and saw a lamb

be born"? There's a huge emphasis put on outdoor play, they go out rain or shine, which is so important.


I can't recommend it highly enough!
