Review from Emma C (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Ellie S (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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, infact they often ask if they can go to nursery on non nursery days. They enjoy it so much ive even added an extra day of nursery to there schedule. They are so great with both fun and educational play. My child went from not speaking much to now being able to communicate so much better with myself and also other people. They offer great support.

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.

Overall Experience

Manor Farm have gone above and beyond for me and my family. My boys love coming to nursery, and it is such a joy seeing how much they love it. 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. The staff are so kind and really look after my boys. I could not imagine them anywhere else. They also dealt with a safeguarding issue in a professional way which I am grateful for.

Review from Carly T (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Manor Farm Day Nursery

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.

Review from L F (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
We enrolled our 10 month old son into Manor Farm in December and we are beyond happy with the progress he is making. Our son has created a lovely bond with the lady in the baby room who has really taken a shine to him and has created a great routine with him! She's absolutely brilliant!
We are updated with his day, foods he is eating and it's lovely to see him engaging with other babies and staff when we pick him up.
Also would like to add how helpful the rest of the team are! If we have any queries, they are more than happy to help and reply extremely quickly.

We are really looking forward to seeing our boy grow and developing more as he moves up in the nursery.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience at Manor Farm! We are delighted to hear that your little one has settled in so well and is thriving in our care. It's great to know that he has built such a strong bond with his key carer and is enjoying his routine.

Review from Charlotte F (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here since she was 10 months and she is now 2 and 1/2. We have always found the whole staffing team warm, welcoming and friendly, making it easier on me to trust them looking after my daughter. Her learning and development have come on so much in the past six months through the varied activities. She enjoys the variety of snacks and meals offered and we like the varied menus offered. The one negative I'd say is the app, it is nowhere near as detailed as the previous app and is not as easy to use along with the constant rising fees with no noticeable change to care.

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Manor Farm Day Nursery

Thank you for sharing your lovely experience! Watching your daughter grow from 10 months to 2 and a half has been a joy for us. We're glad she enjoys the varied activities and menus.

Overall Experience

I can’t praise Manor Farm Day Nursery highly enough. My son has been attending since he was 8.5 months old and he has progressed so much during his time here. He walks in every day excited to go to nursery. All the staff have been supportive and attentive during various transitions and big steps (no dummy, potty training, speech development). They always provide detailed handovers at pick-up and I love hearing about all the different activities he gets up to during his day. All the staff are lovely and friendly and my son has made so many friends with the other children in his class. Parking is an issue (especially at morning drop-off) but that is outside of the nursery's control.

Your glowing review of Manor Farm Day Nursery has made our day! Watching your son progress since he was 8.5 months old has been a privilege.
