Willow absolutely loves to nursery, the staff are incredibly warm, caring and dedicated to what they do, creating a welcoming environment. Willow feels happy and safe.
I've seen such positive development in her confidence, social skills and overall growth in her ability and knowledge thanks to the
fun and creative learning activities.

We couldn't praise this nursery enough! Our daughter has been thriving ever since being here. We love the fact she gets to use outside facilities such as the farm, soft play and outdoor in general. The staff have always been informative during and at the end and at the end of the day during pick up.
Thank you.

My child has delayed speech, and since being in the toddler room, his speech has improved so much. He loves coming to nursery and playing with his friends. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. This nursery and staff have had such an amazing impact on my child's happiness and development. Thank you,
Adventure Farm Nursery.

Our daughter has always enjoyed coming to nursery since she started at 9 months old. She has built beautiful connections with staff and other children, due to feeling comfortable in her surroundings. We love the fact that children get to go and explore the farm, and the mini farmers programme is fantastic,
promoting independence and responsibility. We're so glad we chose you to look after our daughter and help develop her skills and abilities. 100% recommend.

I was really nervous when my son started nursery, but as soon as I visited, I felt at ease. The staff are so warm and caring, and my son absolutely loves it. He gets excited every morning and has grown so much in confidence. The nursery offers a great mix of indoor and outdoor learning, the children
are always in touch with nature and involved in fun, engaging activities. It's a truly nurturing environment, and I'm so grateful for the love and support they've shown my child. Highly recommended!

My little one has been attending here since just after he was 1 and is now 3 going on 4. I can not express the value for money at Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School.
Features I personally love:
Underfloor heating, floor to ceiling windows and doors, use of the Farm/Barn/Animals, use of the soft
play, parent app that gets used regularly, regular photo updates.
The food menu and the Chef, she works so hard and spends time with the kids too. If she's trying something new she will actually go to the rooms and see if the kids are liking it or not and if not find out why etc.
SENCO support in early stages, very good at spotting early signs of needing support in areas and taking appropriate actions that are supportive.
The management couldn't be more of a support system for anything and everything. Very open door policy for the office and you can ask anything and talk to anyone.
We are so happy here we registered my bump the second we knew we were expecting to ensure our second gets the same love and care.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she was 10 months old and I wouldn't want her to go anywhere else. All of the staff have always been super attentive and understanding and my daughter has flourished there. I feel as though they all know her really well and I am updated constantly on
her progress. I also think having the connection to the farm has provided extra opportunities that you won't find elsewhere. The best nursery is Burton by far! Thank you to all the amazing staff!

Incredible nursery. Exceptional facilities and staff. My little boy gets regular visits to the farm, brilliant range of toys and activities along with staff who go above and beyond - not only for the children but also the parents. Cannot be faulted in any area, would recommend to everyone and anyone.

My daughter always happily skips into nursery every day, she enjoys the vast amount of activities they do with her too. Their menu and food choices are brilliant, and she eats everything happily - the nursery is great with my daughter's food intolerance also. When I collect her, she is still smiling
and cannot wait to tell me about her day.

Review from Caitlin P (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery has been really brilliant with us! My daughter did struggle to settle at the nursery initially and would be very upset. The nursery has worked well with us to help her settle in both the baby room and pre-toddlers room and she now thoroughly enjoys nursery, which helps the mum guilt! They
actively respond to what the children like and adapt to the room and activities. For example, my daughter loves caring for the baby dolls and sitting in enclosed spaces. The nursery has regularly created activities for her to care for the babies (like washing them) and has made areas in the room for her to crawl into like a den.
When she first moved into pre-toddlers, I do feel like there was a period of time where things had to settle (staff changes etc.) and I voiced that I felt like I wasn't being kept informed well enough. The nursery took this on board and I noticed the handovers significantly improved and the app is always updated. We absolutely love Adventure Farm Day Nursery!

We love this nursery for our kids!
My son started going when it first opened, he first joined the pre-toddler room and he’s now in pre-school ready to start big school in September!
My daughter then came along and she started in the baby room, and now she’s in the pre-toddler room. My son is quite
shy and he struggles a bit with change and has always been a little nervous going into the setting but he’s come on so well and he had such an amazing relationship with the staff and it’s so nice to know the staff love him too! I always feel so comfortable handing him over. My daughter just absolutely loves it, she runs in and doesn’t even look back.
The staff in the rooms are so lovely, they give a very good handover every day too. Their meal choices are fab, they even get involved with celebration events such as Chinese New Year, Valentines etc and they do everything so beautifully with them. The farm trips and soft play are such a bonus to the setting, I just love everything about the nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.933 for Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.933
  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 Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 25 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
