Review from Mary C (Grandmother of Child) published on 23 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my grandchildren attended Bardykes Nursery and it was a great experience for both of them and our family. Both still talk about the staff, key workers and the horses. I do not know any other nursery where children have so much access to nature, farm animals, newborn lambs, the chickens and the
in-door pets. All of the staff provided a very nurturing environment and not only looked after the children's emotional health but also their physical health, snacks, being active etc. This all created a safe learning environment for the children. We were kept up to date with their progress but were also told if there were any issues with behaviour or if they had a wee fall out with another child. I firmly believe that due to their experience in Bardykes both of them made a smooth transition to school. We all miss the Christmas Nativity and the summer fun days. I have no hesitation in recommending Bardykes nursery.
Reply from Kimberley Wilkie, Manager at Bardykes Farm Nursery SchoolHi Mary, it was our pleasure to have both your grandchildren through the years and we thank you very much for your recommendation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We absolutely love the nursery and so does our daughter! The outdoor style of play and learning is absolutely wonderful and is something we are very pleased to have found.
The experience the children get from the farm style setting with animals to care for and learn about is top class. Having experienced
a nursery with limited time outdoors, it really is amazing for the children to have this style of development. The staff are very genuine, friendly, invested and respected at the nursery. It is also extremely well run. The nursery is very family-friendly and this shines through in their approaches and quality of care. The staffing ratios to children are fantastic and it is a very safe, loving environment.
It is absolutely worth every penny, balanced against opportunities at other styles of nursery I would say hands down worth the extra.
Reply from Kimberley Wilkie, Manager at Bardykes Farm Nursery SchoolThis is very nice and reassuring to hear so thank you very much for taking time out of such a busy schedule to share this and give other families an idea of what Bardykes is all about.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy attended Bardykes for a year and he loved it! They have a great balance of curriculum and the huge attraction for us was the outdoor learning and play. The gardens are massive with so many areas to explore, there are also all the friendly animals around and the children learn great skills
in how to look after them. Our little guy loves to be outdoors and would come home tired after busy days with lots of stories to tell. The staff are very caring and have all been there for a long time - the nursery has a nice family feel to it! I would definitely recommend Bardykes!
Reply from Kimberley Wilkie, Manager at Bardykes Farm Nursery SchoolYour recommendations haven’t gone unnoticed and we now have one of your friends families starting with us soon! Hope you are all well and taking care during this time. Thanks so much.

Bardykes Farm Nursery has a lovely, cosy informal family feel to it. The staff team are incredible and have been there for years with experience by the bucket load! Each member brings different talents to help support, challenge and stimulate the children’s learning. The nursery is based on a small
family farm with lots of outdoor space that the children use daily for play and learning. From the large fields, orchard, secret garden, river to baking in the farmhouse kitchen there is always a ‘buzz’ with many different experiences on offer. The nursery also has horses, rabbits, ducks, cats, bees, dogs and has lambs and chicks in spring, which is amazing for the children who attend. Overall a lovely nursery where children are encouraged to explore their surroundings, be creative, make friends and develop at their own pace!
Reply from Kimberley Wilkie, Manager at Bardykes Farm Nursery SchoolWhat a lovely review! Thank you so much taking the time to leave us your comments. We hope to have the pleasure of also looking after baby number three in the near future! Take care and thanks for your time to share your thoughts about us.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for Bardykes Farm Nursery School 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.975 for Bardykes Farm Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.975
  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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bardykes Farm Nursery School is based on 17 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
