  • The Manor Farm Nursery, Lechlade
Since coming under new ownership in 2016, The Manor Farm Nursery has focused on improving the facilities in which the children have the opportunities to learn, within the safe contained boundaries on the large plot of farmland and within the purpose-built barn conversion.

The team believes the quality of care for your children comes best through an experienced team of highly qualified early years staff, who are supported by a strong management team and trainees. All staff hold a Paediatric First Aid Certificate, Safeguarding Training and have an enhanced DBS.

The nursery accepts children from the age of 3 months old, although the majority of new starters are 9-12 months of age when parent(s) return to work. From September 2024 The Manor Farm Nursery will likely be offering working parents who are eligible, the opportunity to claim funded hours (15 or up to 30 hours, 38 weeks a year), and for those turned 2 years old, claimable for the term after the child turns 2, from April 2024. This is in addition to the already universal and enhanced 15 or up to 30 hours claimable for 3-4 year olds.

What makes Manor Farm unique is that the property is owned and run by the two directors, husband and wife, who themselves have had three children use the nursery and continue to use the holiday club. Their vision is to provide a premium service to parents and their children, through reinvestment in technology (a Parent App for all your communications, child records, learning journals and accident or safeguarding reports, and invoices), in staff training (particularly with SEN, sign language and behaviour support, together with additional external teachers, such as dance classes) and facilities (animals, vegetable garden, safer parking, CCTV and boundary fencing).

Whilst the nursery is on an old farm, it is within boundaries not shared by the public (such as holiday cottages or other farm residents).

Review from Melinda G (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We could not be happier with our boy's birthday party, which was organized at Manor Farm Nursery this weekend. The place and the owner are simply amazing! Everyone was impressed with how lovely the venue was. I've never seen a nursery that feels so familiar and perfect, both outside and inside. I wish
every child could attend a nursery like this to have such a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for making the day special. I highly recommend Manor Farm Nursery to anyone who wants a more personal and familiar setting for their child's party, rather than the usual soft play venues. Thank you again!

Review from Susannah K (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter absolutely loves being at The Manor Farm Nursery. She loves being outside, and especially loves animals, and so the access to so much on a daily basis (fields, horses, donkeys, sheep, etc.) is absolutely perfect for her - and exactly how we want her to spend her days whenever possible.
The staff at Manor Farm are absolutely amazing - our daughter has such special bonds with them all, and is clearly going to a loving environment every day - which means she is always excited to be at nursery.

Review from E M (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We could not be happier with the care and attention given to both our children who have attended Manor Farm (our eldest spent a year here before starting school, and our youngest joined in November 2021, aged 11 months. The staff at Manor Farm are absolutely incredible! Their genuine love and affection
for all the children shines through - they always take the time to chat with parents at drop-off/pick-up to share lovely details about their little one’s day, and they regularly communicate and share photos and updates on the Famly app. I know wholeheartedly my son is happy and thriving and is in safe and capable hands. He has so much fun that I often have to convince him to leave at the end of the day! We are so grateful to have found such an amazing nursery. Manor Farm is incomparable to the two other nurseries our eldest son previously attended, it really is in a league of its own. We can’t thank the team enough for everything they do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been at Manor Farm since April 2023, starting when he was four months old. I was not sure how this was going to work out but thanks to the amazing and kind team, along with the relaxed but fun setting, he is thriving and loves his four days a week in nursery. I would highly recommend Manor
Farm.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.554)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.554) out of 10 for The Manor Farm Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.979 for The Manor Farm Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.979
  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 3.575 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Manor Farm Nursery is based on 4 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.2
  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.
