Our son has attended for almost three years. He loves attending nursery and has good relationships with staff and other children.
We have had no issues at all during his time there and are very confident in the care and learning opportunities afforded to our child.
We do feel that the building itself
deserves a little more care and attention.

Our daughter loves her time at Manor Farm. The staff are always informative about what she has been learning, and we can tell the difference in the experience this nursery is having on her development. They have a lovely community feel and clearly care about the children and families they serve.

Couldn’t be happier with how they look after my little boy. They really helped him settle in when he first started, and now he goes in happily every day and has a lovely time. He’s developing well, and I can tell they are doing lots of things to support this while he’s with them. The staff really care
about and know the children well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended Manor Farm since they were babies, and I have nothing but praise for the amazing staff! The nursery feels like a home away from home, with a generous-sized garden the kiddies can explore and burn energy in. The staff are friendly, approachable, experienced professionals
who feel more like friends - I know my children are in good hands with them. We get regular updates with observations of their achievements and progress, which reassures me even more.

Review from A C (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think Manor Farm has been an amazing nursery for my son. He has recently gone up to Woodpeckers where he is learning so much and the lady is doing some really good activities with him (and everyone else up there!). We always get a really good handover with details of what he's been doing and eating.
Everyone was very supportive of his potty training which was a big relief for me as a working full-time mum. I'd definitely recommend Manor Farm to other parents as he has done so well. In particular Robins and Woodpeckers he has really thrived and has made some amazing friends. He loves going to nursery every day and everyone has been supportive of me going back to work full time and working that out. Also very supportive of allergies as he has multiple allergies and is always included in everything! The only thing - everyone should be mindful of the car park, it's difficult to manoeuvre but can't be helped and there is plenty of parking on the road.

Review from Barry G (Grandfather of Child) published on 9 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I don't often leave reviews, but I wanted to say how amazing the staff and managers are at Manor Farm. Yes It is a lovely setting with a fantastic outside space but that's not all, what really makes this a great nursery in my opinion is the commitment of the staff and management in successfully making
a child's day enjoyable to the point where they cannot wait to return, and by making each and every child feel special by going above and beyond on a daily basis.
When I drop my grandchild off I know I can relax in the knowledge that they are being well cared for by a fantastic loving team. A big Thanks to you all at Manor Farm Day Nursery!

Review from Vicky S (Mother of Child) published on 25 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent, the staff are fantastic, my little one has developed so much since being there. Couldn't imagine him being anywhere else. I hope they will have space for my next child.
They do so much with them, in and out of nursery, arts and crafts in, walks to
town to buy ingredients for when they do baking. They have an amazing garden, which is separated into age groups, so they all have their own areas, growing fruit and veg, playing in the on site ball pool and soft play.
Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff either, we have long conversations regarding my child's development and they are keen to learn what he does at home, to ensure we are all working together for my child future.
The chef also does a great job, cooking such a variety of food, not sure where she gets her carrots, he eats hers but wont eat mine! he he.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.845)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.845) out of 10 for Manor Farm Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.845 for Manor Farm Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.845
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Manor Farm Day Nursery is based on 26 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
