Asquith Barley Barn Sawbridgeworth Day Nursery

The girls at this surgery are absolutely amazing. There are so caring and compassionate with everything they do. They put so much time and effort in caring for the kids. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being there and I enjoy seeing her grow and learn with them. Thank you girls.

The girls here are amazing. My daughter has severe eczema and many food allergies. The girls made the whole process so much easier for me and my daughter. The way they dealt with her extra needs, and the way they have helped me through my struggles - I couldn't have asked for better care. I absolutely recommend this nursery 100% and more. If only I could take the girls with me to primary school!

The nursery really puts emphasis on the well-being and development of my child. The days are full of activities encouraging children to explore their surroundings. All of the staff on site are caring towards children and interact with them in the communal garden.

The staff at this nursery are extraordinary in their kindness, compassion and warmth in caring for and teaching our two daughters, and also in empathising and understanding the difficulties that parents face trying to navigate parenthood, work and life.

My daughter has been going to nursery for about two years and a half now and she loves it! She has found it a bit unsettling moving rooms at times but the staff have been so great with her and have made her feel much better about it all. She talks about the staff who look after her a lot most days when she is not there and loves them all for individual reasons. I think that is lovely as it shows what an impact they all have on her in different ways! They do so much fun stuff and it's lovely to see the activities on the app.

I highly recommend this nursery to any potential parents!

I have 2 children attending and they are thriving. The staff are so kind and professional and my children love them. My eldest child also attended and still talks fondly of her key workers. I would definitely highly recommend this nursery. The staff are wonderful and my children love it.

I have two children at Barley Barn. One at pre-school and one in the baby room. They both love it. My eldest runs to the door in the mornings, excited to go in. She loves all the arts and crafts they do, which I get to see from photos on the app. My younger daughter has a visual impairment. Her key worker and the Barley Barn team have been a fantastic support, keen to help in any way they can, and keeping me well informed of how she is progressing. I know she is in safe hands and I can't thank them enough.

Our son has been at the nursery for almost a year now (started at around 20 months) and we are so pleased with his development. He learns new things every week and they have brought out so much in him. He loves the staff and is always happy to go. He eats and sleeps well and comes home full of beans (albeit a bit messy!) telling us about his day. Thanks to all the staff here we couldn't be happier.

Our daughter has been enrolled at the nursery since she was 10 months old. We only have good things to say about the nursery. Our little girl has thrived in this environment and she has been well supported by all members of staff in both the baby room and now the nursery room. The staff are welcoming, friendly and incredibly caring. Our little girl loves her keyworkers and speaks about them even when she’s not at nursery. She looks forward to her nursery days, so that speaks volumes about the care. The team are enthusiastic and there are always lovely activities set up for the children. They are offered a range of foods, which our little girl throughly enjoys. Communication has been brilliant since a new app system has been adopted. It’s great to be able to receive updates and check in on our daughter. Overall we would highly recommend the nursery. It may look a little rough around the edges, but this has no effect on the excellent caring environment.

Our daughter has been with Barley Barn since the baby room and is now in the pre-school room and she absolutely loves it. The settling in at the beginning were wonderfully managed and we have felt very supported throughout. She has made good friends and adores her teachers. We love receiving the updates throughout the day with the app and seeing all the activities she is doing and what she is learning. The staff there are very friendly and supportive and it's a very nurturing environment where play is at the core. I would highly recommend Barley Barn!

I couldn’t have asked for a better team or environment for my son to be in - he has seemed so happy to be there and always comes home full of energy and excited to tell me about his day!

My baby has been at Barley Barn for over 3 months now and has settled in beautifully. She is thriving on the different activities available each day. I had great support and communication with the nursery during her weaning process. She has a brilliant mixed diet of homemade food. The communication with the carers is brilliant, always open and honest so I feel I trust them totally. I would 100% recommend the under 2’s room to anyone.

Barley Barn is amazing. My little girl's development each day amazes me and I put most of it down to the staff at the nursery. They have ensured she has met and exceeded every milestone even potty training and I couldn’t be happier that I moved her from her previous nursery. The girls that work here treat the kids like their own little family and have so much genuine love and passion for them, and take so much interest in their daily lives as well as looking after them. I always say it’s the staff that make a nursery and these girls do an amazing job and deserve so much credit. As a mum leaving your infant in capable hands who you know you can trust is hugely important.

Overall would highly recommend!

My Son absolutely loves his time spent at Bright Horizons Sawbridgeworth. He started in their Nursery and is now in pre-school. He has come so far with the support, guidance empowerment and encouragement from all the wonderful staff. His learning, independence and understanding he has gained at 4 years old are phenomenal. The staff are amazing, very empathetic and attentive to all his needs and changing needs. I have lovely chats about my son with the staff when I pick him up, I’m also kept up to date throughout the day with photos of what he is doing also with his meals and snacks via the app. My son has met friends for life, he has so much fun in there. My working environment has changed on a few occasions with days and times, it was just never a problem for the manager and the other staff she supported me 100% in everything.

The staff at this nursery really care about the children and are happy to adapt to their individual needs. They spend time getting to know the children and there is such a happy atmosphere around the nursery. I have had 3 children attend the nursery and would definitely recommend it.

My son has spent a lovely three years with the staff at Barley Barn, moving from the baby room, all the way up to pre-school. He is shy and stubborn, a particularly trying combination - but it was never a problem for any of the team at Barley Barn Sawbridgeworth. He was loved and accepted for who he was, and given room and support he needed to develop and grow at his own pace. Their patience with him (and an anxious first-time mum) was endless, and so greatly appreciated. We are so grateful for the time he spent there, and the friends he made. Would happily send any future children back! We will miss you all!

He is ready for school now. Thank you to all the staff who apart from assisting him and helping him learn have been there for him every step of the way. He will definitely miss you all.

This childcare setting offers all an all-day service so is great for working parents. The staff are friendly and they offer a good range of activities. There is a decent menu for the children to experience different foods and mealtimes with friends.
