Barley Wood Nursery

I will be sad for Gracie to move on, but excited about her next steps that she is fully ready for thanks to the safe, nurturing environment Barley Wood has provided her with over the last few years.

We've had such a positive experience at Barley Wood Nursery. Our child started back in April and has settled in so well. The staff are absolutely amazing and communicate with us regularly. They provide great photos and monthly progress reports. Our child's development has come on massively since they've started and they are thriving. We also the location and that they are out in nature every day. Highly recommend Barley Wood!

A fantastic nursery and pre-school with caring and attentive staff, varied food, excellent communication with parents, all in a beautiful woodland setting which the children frequently explore all year round.

He now looks forward to nursery. He has made friends who he talks about at home and really enjoys spending so much time outside exploring. We are no longer on a nurture plan and this is all due to the hard work and dedication from all the staff at Barley wood. Would highly recommend to any parent considering a nursery setting for their child.

Both my children have really thrived here over the years and we are so happy to have found it

The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, always supporting her development while allowing her to discover at her own pace. It's amazing to watch her curiosity, confidence, and joy grow so quickly. We feel so grateful for the loving and inspiring environment Barley Wood provides for our little one.

We're really happy with the care our two toddlers receive at this nursery. The staff are kind, patient, and clearly care about the children. Both of our toddlers have settled in so well and are always happy to go in, which says a lot. There's a great range of activities each day, and we've noticed real progress in their confidence, communication, and social skills. The nursery feels safe, welcoming, and well organised, and the staff keep us well informed. We feel very comfortable leaving our children here and would happily recommend the nursery to other parents.

Additionally they were able to support daughter number two with her 1:1 medical needs to a high standard, with excellent communication and dedication to all the training required.

Both my daughters have been to barley wood and love it. The staff are incredible & take such good care of the children, helping them develop in every area. Both my children are always excited to go and sometimes are gutted when they have to go home because they love it there so much.

Barley Wood is an excellent nursery, my daughter has been attending for over a year now and has grown so much in confidence since starting. The staff are wonderful and so good with her, it is clear she is very happy whilst at nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

My daughter is having a lovely time at Barleywood Nursery, and is very fond of the workers in the Rabbits room (the youngest age group there). The members of staff that I have interacted with have all been very pleasant and helpful to deal with, and are very invested in helping the children in their care settle in. My daughter took a long time to settle in as she is not there every day, but everyone has been very understanding, patient and accommodating. I would recommend Barleywood to anyone looking for a nursery locally.

We feel very grateful to have found a nursery that is consistent, nurturing, and truly dedicated to the children's wellbeing and development. I would highly recommend.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for just a month, and although she was a little unsettled at first, we've already seen such a positive change. The team have been really warm and supportive, helping her to feel comfortable at her own pace. She's now going in much happier and seems to be enjoying her days more and more. We're grateful for the gentle care and reassurance they've given her during this big transition.

I honestly can't thank this nursery enough for what they've done and continue to do for my son. From the moment he started, it felt like everything finally clicked for him. The outdoor space is one of the things I love most about the setting-he absolutely thrives when he's outside, and seeing him so free, happy, and himself in that environment makes mine and his day.

He's not always the easiest character, and I know he can be a real handful at times, but the way the staff handle him is amazing.

Thank you barley wood.

My son attends Barley Wood and I feel very lucky to have found this place as he settled so well and I believe that is largely down to the caring, kind and friendly team at Barley Wood. One of the key other reasons we chose this nursery was due to the grounds and I love knowing my son has been outside exploring for much of the day. The staff are very dedicated and passionate about children's development and happiness.

Our two children, currently four and 18 months, both attend Barley Wood Nursery. It is located in a beautiful setting with various gardens, woodland and spacious rooms for activities. Our children have a great time at this nursery and have bonded well with the staff. The staff are fantastic with the children and encourage really varied activities. The management are very welcoming and well organised. We feel very comfortable and happy with Barley Wood and would definitely recommend it!

My son had a short-term placement at Barley Wood in September. The staff were fantastic, very welcoming and my son absolutely loved it. Perfect place for being active and outdoor adventures. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Both my children attended Barley Wood Nursery from babies and have been extremely well cared for. There has been excellent communication with staff. They have always listened to my needs and supported us as a family. My son found settling into nursery difficult and had a few struggles throughout his time there, the staff really understood him and ensured he was supported well within this environment. As my children move on to school and pre-school they are both going to miss their time at Barley Wood Nursery. As a family we are grateful for the love and care our children have been given, they have helped our children grow into the great little people they are now and will be in the future. Thank you to all at Barley Wood, you do an incredible job!

We've seen such wonderful progress in her, emotionally, socially and developmentally.

Staff who very clearly care about the children and take their roles seriously as professionals. They also listen to feedback from parents, inviting input and keeping us informed. They encourage the children to develop their skills and explore their interests. We've noticed a big improvement in our child's social skills since joining. The nursery itself is set in a beautiful building and outdoor space where nature is explored and the kids are allowed to get messy to make the most of it. Cannot recommend Barley Wood Nursery enough.
