Bardykes Farm Nursery School

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our son has received at Bardykes. From the very beginning, the staff have created a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where he has felt safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. The team are genuinely caring and attentive, taking the time to get to know each child as an individual. A special mention to Maxine, who has been fantastic with our son. Her kindness, patience, and support have made a real difference, and it's clear how much she cares about the children. We're so grateful for the nurturing and engaging environment the team create. It's lovely to see how happy our son is there each day. The outdoor-based environment has been perfect for our son. He loves spending time outside exploring, playing, and helping to look after the animals - something truly unique that has really boosted his confidence and enjoyment of learning.

It's a unique and inspiring environment and I honestly cannot recommend Bardykes more.

Our soon has attended Bardykes since June last year and the staff has been absolutely amazing at helping him to settle in. Everyone is so warm & welcoming and he now loves going to nursery and has made lovely connections with the staff. They have all went above & beyond to make sure he was happy, and even done a home visit in the early stages when separation from me was an issue. He now can't wait to go and we are provided with such lengthy & in-depth feedback of the things he's learning and working towards. The daily updates are so reassuring and we really would recommend Bardykes to anyone!

Bardykes Nursery is a truly wonderful place where children are genuinely nurtured and encouraged to thrive. The environment is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to support each child's development. What really sets this nursery apart is the incredibly caring and attentive staff - they go above and beyond to ensure every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Their kindness, patience, and dedication shine through in everything they do. It's clear that the team is passionate about early years education, creating a space where children can grow in confidence, curiosity, and happiness. I can't recommend Bardykes enough and I am incredibly grateful for how well cared for both of my girls are!

We couldn't be happier with Bardykes Nursery. It is an amazing environment. The opportunities and experiences that the children get are amazing. The team there are incredible, our daughter adores them.

They check in formally every 6 months with a report, a chat and discuss milestones reached and the next steps. I have never found it a hassle when speaking to them. They know our boy well and I feel at ease leaving him in their care. Staff are fab, and go above and beyond. I wouldn't have any reservations recommending!

We're grateful for everything Bardykes has done for her and look forward to continuing our journey when our son - and eventually our new baby - join the nursery too.

I cannot recommend the nursery enough and feel very happy with our choice.

Great nursery with amazing outdoor space. Lots of different learning experiences that you can't get at a standard nursery. Particularly love the learning provided about farming, animals, and nature. Highly recommend, both my children love it.

Bardykes nursery is absolutely outstanding. The facilities, values, staff, approach to learning, and culture are incredible and what you could only wish for as a parent sending your child to be cared for by someone else. They foster such a nurturing and loving environment, enabling children to explore and express themselves safely and confidently. They treat all the children as individuals and understand the specific needs of a. Child vary from one to another. I cannot explain the difference we can see in our son after moving him from a previous establishment to Bardykes. His confidence, ability to build friendships, happiness and curiosity have excelled whilst being a student at Bardykes and the whole family notice a massive difference. He is so much more confident around animals and the outdoor space gives him the ability to explore more than any other childcare setting I could think of. Thank you for everything Bardykes team! I don't know where we would be without you!!

They get daily animal and outdoor experiences that other kids rarely get.

Thank you guys you are the best :-)

Bardykes Farm Nursery offers a truly exceptional environment for children. Over the past two years, it's been evident that their child-led approach fosters independence and curiosity. The emphasis on outdoor activities and interactions with animals provides invaluable learning experiences that set this nursery apart. My son has flourished in this nurturing setting, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care and opportunities provided by Bardykes Farm Nursery. Highly recommended!

One of the standout features of Bardykes Nursery is its commitment to outdoor learning. My son has flourished in this environment, exploring and discovering the world around him while developing essential skills. The emphasis on outdoor activities has added a unique dimension to his learning journey and has undoubtedly contributed to his overall development. Bardykes Nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way.

Our son has been going to Bardykes Farm Nursery School since summer last year and it's safe to say it's one of the best decisions we've made. You really don't get many nursery experiences like Bardykes. The children are able to learn skills via looking after animals and being in nature. It's the kind of thing you just don't get from being in a room all day. The staff also put on excellent events throughout the year that make it really special. Our son has made his first best friend here and loves the staff who take such care.

The 'pets' that they help care for have developed a love of animals within our son, especially tortoises and horses.

My son has attended since he was 2 years old and he absolutely loves his time there. He has come on leaps and bounds with his learning and wouldn’t think of a better place to send him. Being able to drop him off and know that he is safe with fantastic staff makes my day much easier!

Absolutely amazing, very welcoming and friendly staff, my child is always happy to go, highly recommend, we couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for our child.

My little boy started with Bardykes Farm Nursery School in October 2022 - it was his first experience with a childcare setting, I was understandably nervous about how he would adjust. Our nerves were very quickly settled as the staff helped our son settle very quickly into nursery life. He loves attending Bardykes and has made so many great relationships - his confidence and social skills have come on so much since starting. I could not ask for a better nursery and every single member of staff is always so helpful and involved with all children, my son has developed a love for all nursery staff, not just his key workers.

The staff at the nursery are all fantastic and I feel like they all really make an effort to get to know the children. My two love all the teachers! I would definitely recommend Bardykes Farm Nursery School to others. I’m glad that my friend recommended it to me!
