I have no reason to complain, it's a good school for my daughter, she loves it and will learn a lot. She loves all the teachers and talks to me about them every day, so I loved it. My daughter has studied since she was two years old and I will love her forever.

Review from G M (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It has been an absolute joy to watch my little one come out of her shell and gain confidence since she started in September. Being an only child I worried about how she would cope socially when school started, which was the biggest motivation behind starting her at Farcet Village Nursery. The staff there are all so lovely, patient and passionate about what they do. They help the children in their care develop at their own pace with lots of fun activities and themes. My little one is a big fan of playing outside as much as possible, and she tells me that she's played outside almost every session. She's also a big bookworm, and the team at the nursery have supported this even more by sending a book home with her every couple of weeks to read at home and draw a picture about the book and describe what she liked/learnt from it to take back to nursery to share. If you're looking for a lovely little setting for your child to thrive, I would highly recommend Farcet Village Nursery.

Overall Experience

My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery, he's made so many friends and come on so much since joining in September. The staff are amazing and are really transparent with everything. I noticed how much of a connection the staff have made with each individual child upon dropping and picking my son up, it's clear all the kids adore the staff and it makes me confident to know that the nursery is a safe space!

Overall Experience

If our son is happy - we are happy. We have had no worries, our son is eager to go everyday and always tells us he has had a lovely day. We are updated regularly through the app and communication is fantastic - we feel confident in sending him. He is absolutely thriving and we have full trust in the staff - they are amazing at what they do. The range of activities they have on offer and the care they provide is amazing. Our son has shown real progress since joining! Even down to a variety of morning snacks which are provided - they cater for all dietary requirements. We couldn't recommend enough!

My son feels elated when going to school and I think the staff there are welcoming him well. My boy's socialising skills and language skills have also been improved. Getting him prepared for preschool has been one of the best decision taking on his behalf.

Review from Kerry R (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my boys have gone to Brightfields Pre-school now and they’ve both loved it. I have always found the staff to be approachable and caring. Both of my boys have allergies which they have been excellent at managing and have happily catered to their dietary needs. We have been lucky to find such a great provision so close to us, I would recommend to anyone in Farcet.

Reply from Carolanne Keenan, Manager at Farcet Village Nursery

Kerry, that's a really lovely review - thank you, I will ensure this feedback, especially on allergies, is shared with the team.

My daughter has been attending Brightfields for the past 12 months and absolutely loves it. The positive changes I have seen in her since starting are endless and I can’t thank her key worker and the rest of the team for the ongoing support and care they give every single day.

I would highly recommend this preschool.

This is a wonderful pre-school with a kind and dedicated team of people. My daughter is so happy after moving here from another setting and has grown in confidence in a short amount of time. The communication is great and there is a regular stream of pictures so you have an insight into what they have been up to. I would certainly recommend it.

I'm really happy that my son started the nursery in Brightfields. He has been only three times and already learnt some new skills. The members of staff are really friendly and the manager there is a really knowledgeable person and very helpful, so if I need to recommend this nursery, then definitely I will, with a score of 5 stars.
