I couldn't be happier with Park Farm! The countryside setting is absolutely beautiful and provides the perfect environment for my child to learn and grow. The staff are incredibly caring and genuinely passionate about what they do - it's clear they truly care about each and every child. One thing that
really stands out is the attention to detail - they always make sure to accommodate my child's specific requests and needs. The activities they plan are engaging, stimulating, and tailored to the children's interests. My child can't wait to go each day and always comes home with a big smile on their face. Thank you to the whole team for providing such a wonderful experience - it's truly exceptional!

My little boy has recently started at Park Farm. We had great communication with the nursery before hand and a lovely transition period where my son would stay for an hour to settle in. During these sessions the staff were lovely to myself and my son. They were always happy and enthusiastic to see him
and gave me lots of info about how he had been. He now does 3 days a week and he receives excellent care. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. They always communicate with us at the start and end of the day and are happy to follow any changes to routine we have. The Famly app keeps us update throughout the day about how my little boy is doing. There is even a message part where you can message staff to check in if needed. The facilities and resources are fantastic especially the outdoor space! We have been so pleased with Park Farm and can't recommend it enough to others!

We just wanted to say how happy we are with Harry's experience at nursery. The staff are absolutely fantastic - so friendly, caring, and welcoming. They've created such a lovely, nurturing environment, and it's clear how much effort they put into making each child feel settled and valued.
Harry absolutely
loves coming in each day - he's always excited to go and comes home full of smiles (and stories!). It's so reassuring to see how much fun he has and how comfortable he feels there.
Thank you to everyone for creating such a positive, happy place for him to learn and grow.

Park Farm is a fantastic nursery. The staff are wonderful and they seem to genuinely care about my child. They are nurturing and fun. They also educate and it's great seeing my child learn new things every day. They also have an amazing space including a park and lovely walks to see local farm animals.

We are so happy with our experience at Park Farm Day Nursery - our youngest daughter started here after we relocated to the North East from London a couple of years ago, and has thrived throughout her time in the baby room, toddlers and now pre-school.


The staff are lovely, and the Chef has been excellent

at providing meals that cater to her milk allergy, and as a mum it has been incredibly reassuring to know she's eating freshly cooked meals at nursery that I know won't trigger an allergic reaction.


I'd also hugely praise the balance of in and outdoor play that she has at Park Farm. Having moved from living in an inner city area where her previous setting had limited outdoor space, it's great to see her so happy playing outside for much of her day.

A fantastic nursery, our little boy loves coming and is always excited to go. The staff are great, and have recently been really supportive when discussing my son's new dietary needs as well. They've been happy to accommodate everything we've asked, and been really helpful with advice and things they
can try for him. The setting is lovely, and they always have a variety of activities going on for them every day, and lots of time outdoors as well which he loves.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my daughters have been at this nursery since they were 10 months old, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better place for them to grow and learn. The staff are absolutely wonderful - so friendly, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's happiness and development. It really feels like one
big family, and my girls adore everyone there.
The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the facilities are fantastic - especially the outdoor space, which the children love. My girls have thrived here in every way, becoming confident, happy, and curious little learners.
I can't recommend this nursery highly enough - it's a truly special place that gives children the best possible start!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every morning when I drop off my daughter she is excited. She beams and giggles and happily goes with every single member of the team, which just shows how every member of staff must go above and beyond to spend time with all of the children as they are all familiar to my little one, even if they work
in another room.
Every day we receive app updates on what Olivia has eaten, when her nappy has been changed, when she has slept and most importantly pictures of exactly what she has been up to. The curriculum at Park Farm is incredible. Olivia is surrounded by farm animals, which she adores. She is always painting or drawing and has daily hands on sensory experiences enhancing her understanding of the world alongside her language and communication and physical development. She has come on leaps and bounds since attending here.
Every day Olivia receives three home cooked meals - she eats better here than she does at home if we're being honest!
The team at Park Farm couldn't be better

Park Farm is the most wonderful place. Our journey started 4 years ago with our first child. Although it was only after leaving Parkfarm we received his official ASD diagnosis, he would have never been ready for mainstream school without the support and guidance from the staff at Parkfarm. We had nothing
but positive experiences, so decided to send our youngest there from 9 months old. He is articulate, a great communicator, already knows letters numbers, colours and shapes. Every day we get several updates of the several activities he does each day, all varied, educational and fun. I LOVE the importance they have on outdoor play and nature walks. The staff are incredible and Rebecca the manager has been such a support over the years, making us always feel heard and reassured. Our son is so happy when he is there and gets excited to go each morning. He loves Park Farm as much as we do. We could not recommend it highly enough!

My son started at Park Farm in the baby room when he was 11 months. He's now in tiny toddlers and has been there for 9-10 months. He settled in really well, and absolutely loves it. We get notified through the day what they are up to. They do a lot of different things on a daily basis, crafts, seeing
the animals, being outdoors etc. Everyone is lovely and great to deal with. I know he's well taken care of by everyone during his days there.

Couldn't reccomend this nursery enough, they have such nurturing staff and a lovely calming environment. My Son loves Park Farm and literally runs into nursery each morning, and on the days he isnt in nursery, hes always talking about it at home. He has been able to create lovely friendships and also
bonds with the staff members.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We first looked around Park Farm in Autumn 2021 for our eldest and were hooked by 3 things that still resonate with us on a daily basis today; the amount of outside space, the approach of "there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes" and the very happy children, something
that definitely can't be staged for a visit!


Both our kids settled in really quickly due to the friendly and accommodating staff who were always on hand for a cuddle when needed! They developed well through the fun and engaging activities alongside social learning during play time.


Our kids loved caring for the numerous pets kept at Park Farm, a great way for them to get used to interacting with animals from a young age. Walks to visit the neighbouring cows and sheep have also been a highlight!


Overall our experience for both children (1 now at school, 1 at Park Farm in Toddlers) has been amazing and we can't recommend Park Farm highly enough.

Our experience at Park Farm has been nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we enrolled our now two-year-old, we have witnessed an incredible transformation in him. His confidence has soared, and his verbal skills have blossomed in ways we never could have imagined.


The staff at Park Farm are

truly amazing. They create a warm, nurturing environment that makes our little one feel safe and encouraged to express himself. His ability to communicate has noticeably improved thanks to their dedicated approach.


One of the standout features of this nursery is the abundance of extra activities available for the children. The outdoor space is phenomenal! Our son loves exploring the large play area, where he can run, climb, and interact with nature. The presence of animals adds an extra layer of excitement!


We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend Park Farm Day Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment. Thank you for all that you do!

My son attended this nursery a few months after it opened as Park Farm about 5 years ago. He loved it so much, it was a given that we would send our daughter there too. There have been lots of changes but only for the better. Staff have always been fantastic and build a really good relationship with
the kids. My daughter is excited to go to nursery which I think says a lot.
The outdoor space is vast and gives the setting an advantage over more inner city/village nurseries. Lots of time spent outside in a range of different areas so it keeps the children engaged and entertained.
Overall, I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else. It is a fantastic place !

Park farm nursery has been amazing! My daughter started when she was only 9 months and had never left me, they made the whole process so easy. From the settling in days where I went with her to her first day alone! They update you on everything via the app and send photos throughout the day of daily
activities to put your mind at ease. They have been painting autumn leaves in October and we got our first ever pictures to hang on the fridge! All the staff are lovely and friendly and can't do enough for you. The nursery manager has been really helpful and always replies to messages straight away. The nursery have dressing up for Halloween all week at the end of October which is super cute. Lots of variety in meals which I love. Just an overall great nursery!

Park Farm is a fantastic nursery setting, with wonderful staff who are patient, attentive and caring. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help.

My daughter first started at the nursery in September just over 9 months old. Very nervous as a first time mum leaving your baby with new faces. The team there constantly updated me and continue to update me on her day, send me pictures and were so reassuring. She now absolutely loves going to nursery
and puts her arms out to the staff when we get there in a morning. I love that they babies aren't just stuck in side they have a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, messy time etc. So happy that I had chosen this nursery for my daughter to join as me and my fiancé work full time, such an amazing team they have at Park Farm!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.959)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.959) out of 10 for Park Farm Day 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 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.959 for Park Farm Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (563 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 587 Ratings = 4.959
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park Farm Day Nursery is based on 49 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6, which has been reached with 49 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
