We chose this nursery because we believe it offers the best quality in the area. When our child was still very small and just beginning to walk, we were naturally a bit anxious. The staff reassured us that everything would be fine.
We like that the carers pay close attention to the children, and it's useful to receive photos and updates about daily activities.
We can see when our child logs in and out, when nappies are changed, and when they have eaten.
Overall though, we are happy with the place.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you're happy with the nursery and that our team has helped reassure you. It's great to know you find the daily updates and photos useful and enjoy seeing your child's progress.

We've been with the nursery for 4 years now and have seen a lot of change. Kim, Holly and the staff are brilliant and very good with the kids. since Kim and Holley took over I'd say the nursery has got better with more structure in the morning and runs very smooth. Only thing I'd say is for the kids to have aprons for messy play. Other than that the nursery is fantastic

My son attends and I couldn't be happier with my choice. From his very first settling-in session, the staff have been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in his happiness and development. As a parent navigating additional needs, I have been especially blown away by the nursery's SENCO support. The team is incredibly proactive, inclusive, and collaborative. They have worked closely with me to create a tailored environment where my son can thrive at his own pace, ensuring he never misses out on the fun.The nursery feels cozy and welcoming. What I love most is their focus on outdoor play. The garden spaces are fantastic, the kids absolutely thrive during their outdoor activities and forest school sessions.The communication from the team is excellent. We receive regular updates and photos, which give us total peace of mind that he is safe and cared for. I would recommend to anyone in the area! Slightly gutted he will be leaving soon for school.

My child started in January 2025, they were very nervous as was going to be their 1st time away from myself. They were very emotional to begin with but the nursery were so good with them getting them settled and making sure they were happy and comfortable. They are now more then happy to go in,...
My child has also been introduced to new foods that at home they won't eat. They now eat fresh fruit (which they would never even touch at home) but happily enjoys at nursery. They have also become more independent with play, eating, tidying up and so much more. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff are really lovely and caring and always have interesting activities for the kids. Most of all I feel really secure leaving my child there which is something I was really anxious about when first selecting a nursery.

The activities they provide, food, outdoor activities are great for my boys. The duckings they have introduced are amazing, and it's a non-stop topic.

My child has been attending Manor Farm for a few months now and prior to that she was with a childminder.
I was initially skeptical about moving my child from a childminders to a nursery, as I was worried she wouldn't receive as much of a one to one care that she was used to, as obviously the nursery is a busier environment than a childminders. However, I couldn't have been more wrong.
Since my child has attended the nursery, I have seen a huge improvement in her social skills, speech, eating habits and over all, I've seen nothing but positive improvements to her development.
My child loves all of the staff and she even asks to go to nursery on the days she's not meant to be there, which speaks volumes.
Overall, I would say that I 100% recommend Manor Farm to any parents who are considering the nursery and that I've had such a positive experience from both my perspective as a parent and also my child's experience thus far.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear how well your child has settled and the positive impact nursery life has had on her development. It's wonderful to know she enjoys her time with us and feels so happy and supported by our team.

Both my children have attended Manor Farm, I chose the setting because of the garden and nice rooms. Since it was bought by another company there has been a large turnover of staff, which has caused some issues. However, I feel that this has mainly settled down now, and the team that work there are lovely, caring and responsive to the children. They've taken a lot of time to reassure my daughter and help her settle into going, which has been a slower process. Overall, I think Manor Farm is a lovely nursery for children to attend.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear that Manor Farm's caring and responsive team has helped your daughter feel comfortable and supported.

Hello, I'm Holly, the manager at Manor Farm Day Nursery. I've been working in childcare since January 2010, when I started as an apprentice at Buckden Day Nursery. I worked my way through my Level 2, then Level 3, then my foundation degree (Level 5), and finally my Level 3 in Forest School. I've worked across many of the Davidson Roberts settings and was delighted to return to my favourite, Manor Farm, in April 2025.
I believe children learn best through play, and all children should have fun whilst learning new skills. When learning feels enjoyable and natural, children engage more deeply and retain what they discover.
What I love most is seeing the children progress and make achievements at their own pace. Spending time with them reading stories, getting messy, and having fun makes every day rewarding.
