  • Farley, Steeple Langford Outdoor Nursery School, Salisbury
Farley, Steeple Langford Outdoor Nursery School has a unique approach to learning, aiming for children aged between 6 weeks and 5 years to spend as much of their time as possible exploring the outside world, where they can grow, create, and investigate no matter the weather.

The service follows the Early Years Foundation Stage to underpin their practices, and their team of experienced staff are there to cater for each child’s individual needs and requirements. There are 5 groups within the nursery, and each is tailored for a specific age range. Progression through these stages is focused on ensuring that each child is developmentally ready.

There is an on-site cook to prepare nutritional meals for children each evening, and the service always endeavours to meet different dietary requirements.

The nursery is open Monday-Friday, with the exception of bank holidays, between 8am and 6pm, and offers full and half day sessions (morning or afternoon).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As some of the other parents have said, Farley Nursery School, Steeple, is like a second home to us - not just for the children but equally for us parents. The staff have become friends to us over the years (my second child is now at Farley Nursery) as well as our children and the relationships established
are deep-rooted.


Nothing is too much bother, the outdoor play ethos is so healthy and creative for our children’s mindsets and especially given the current climate of Covid, is the perfect ground on which to be - outside.


The team there go the extra mile and we love our time at Farley Nursery for our kids. Thank you Farley Nursery School for the fun, flexibility and dedication to our little ones!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is by far a second home for my children, I have 3 children and they have all attended this nursery so I have been using this nursery for the past 9 years. My youngest is currently in her last year there. I will genuinely be sad to no longer have a child here. I couldn’t have asked for more from
them, they have absolutely provided my children with the most amazing start in life, learning lots of practical skills and problem-solving skills, completely preparing them for school and being able to navigate it themselves.


I would never send my children anywhere else! The staff are utterly fabulous and my children have adored them all!

We love Farley Nursery School's outdoor learning ethos and it has been wonderful to see our children thrive at the nursery. The staff are amazing at providing a fun, safe and creative environment for learning and play, and always go out of their way to understand and accommodate the needs of each family.
There is a lovely 'family' culture within the nursery, where staff and children across all classes know each other. We also appreciate all the events they put on, involving parents in Farley life.


We would absolutely recommend Farley Nursery School - Steeple Langford, to family and friends.

Farley Nursery School has been like a second family for our son. He loves going to see his friends and all the friendly staff. The main reason for choosing Farley, Nursery School, Steeple Langford, was due to the outdoor and natural learning they encompass. We would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone
who not only wants childcare but a home from home for their children.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.910) out of 10 for Farley, Steeple Langford Outdoor Nursery School 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.810 for Farley, Steeple Langford Outdoor Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.81
  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 4.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Farley, Steeple Langford Outdoor Nursery School is based on 7 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 = 3.6
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.5
  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.
