Our son has been attending Manor Farm since 2025 and he is thriving there. His development has been amazing across his social skills and speech. The nursery staff are always friendly and helpful and it's obvious our son enjoys attending and partaking in the wide range of activities. The smaller room sizes is a big draw and have been great for our son to get socialised but not lost in the crowd.

My child absolutely loves Manor Farm, it's like a home from home. The staff are so caring and I feel like my child is well looked after and cared for when she is at the nursery. The nursery always provides regular updates on her progress and I feel like they are just as invested in her growth as I am. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and the staff they do an amazing job.

We are delighted to hear that you have had such a positive experience with our nursery and that you have seen your son grow, learn, and develop during his...
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
We are delighted to hear your positive comments about Kim, Holly, and the team. It is wonderful to know that you have noticed the improvements in structure and the...
The Team at Manor Farm Nursery are amazing. My little boy was very anxious being away from me. The team had patience, gained his trust and he is now a happy a little boy who enjoys nursery. The staff know every child and are always so friendly and approachable. Highly recommended
We understand how challenging those first steps can be, and we're proud that our team was able to provide the patience, care, and...
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that your son has enjoyed his time with us and that our team, particularly our SENCO support, has made a positive difference to his journey. It has been a pleasure to watch him grow and thrive, and we truly appreciate your kind...
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.
It's wonderful to know you've seen such positive progress in their confidence, communication, independence...
I am really pleased with the nursery we have chosen for our Daughter to go to. She is very happy and eager for her nursery days. The staff are always friendly and happy and we enjoy and appreciate getting the updates on the family app about our Daughter. We are happy with the variety of food that's on offer and the activities she does. I also really appreciate the staff taking the time at pick up to talk to me about my Daughters day and filling me in on her antics. Overall really pleased with everything so far.
It's great to know that you value the updates through the family app, the variety of activities and meals, and the conversations with our team at pick-up. We believe sharing these...
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.
We know choosing a nursery can be a big decision, so it's great to hear that you feel confident and comfortable leaving your child with us. Thank you for your trust and support.
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.
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that your children enjoy their time at Manor Farm and that you value the activities, outdoor experiences, and care provided by our team. We're also pleased that the ducklings have been such a positive addition and appreciate your recognition of our staff's professionalism and commitment to safeguarding.
My son has always received excellent care and support here. Regardless of the staff who look after him! Communication is always excellent, and we love seeing what he gets up to using the app. We love that he gets plenty of time outdoors in all weather, and there is always a large range of activities.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that your son has consistently received excellent care and support, and that you feel confident in the whole team looking after him. It's great to know you value our communication and enjoy keeping up with his day through the app....
Both our children have been extremely happy at Manor Farm. All the staff are fantastic and genuinely care about the children they are looking after. The activities they set up encourage learning and development and support confidence. We couldn't be happier with our experience of sending our children here.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted that both your children have been so happy at Manor Farm and that our team's care and activities have supported their learning and confidence.
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.
I love the nursery they always accommodate for my daughter's needs in all areas. They always give me great handover information and help her in anyway they can they put on fantastic activities for her throughout the day. They always put her needs first. The staff are so kind and caring. They always take the time to understand what she needs. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that we've been able to support your daughter's needs and that you feel well informed through our handovers.

Great nursery settings with large play outdoor area, many educational and creative activities. The members of staff are very professional, caring and friendly, always happy to help, my daughter loves each one of them! Highly recommended!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you and your daughter are enjoying the nursery, especially the outdoor space and the variety of educational and creative activities we offer.
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.
We love Manor Farm so much, it feels like a family and my daughter is so happy to see the nursery staff every morning. I love hearing how action packed and enriching her days are and am over the moon with Manor Farm
Thank you so much for your lovely words! We are happy that Manor Farm feels like family to you. Hearing that your daughter is happy and excited to come in each morning is exactly what we strive for! We're delighted that you enjoy hearing about her fun-filled and enriching days-we love creating a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
