Wonderful nursery where my son enjoys going to play and learn everyday. He loves going to the farm and seeing the animals - which they try to do several times a week (big highlight was lambing season!). They play outside most days which is very important to us as a family. The staff are fantastic and
welcoming and give exceptional care - you could not ask more from a nursery setting. The food is outstanding as well, giving the children and babies a good varied diet and my son routinely has seconds!

My expereince with this nursery has been excellent. The staff are all very friendly, attentive and happy to answer any questions. My daughter started at five months old and settled in very quickly. She receives 1-2-1 care and has excelled since being in the "baby room". They help her to reach milestones
in development and pay attention to her overall well-being. She has enjoyed water play, painting, a wide variety of toys and now eating solids with the older babies. She also gets to go outside anytime and is taken on walks to the farm. I highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started nursery here in the new baby room 4 months ago (aged 1 year). The nursery provided a series of settling-in sessions which provided us as parents with the reassurance that he was familiar with his new surroundings before starting full-time. Our son is given exceptional attentive care
by all staff in addition to his key worker, and it is clear they all genuinely care about him and that he feels safe and secure with them. The staff are very supportive with his development and cater for his medical and dietary needs. The staff are so perceptive and incredibly good at communicating with us, it feels like we really are a partnership in his care. The onsite chef is brilliant and I only wish I could stay and eat there with everyone, his cooking smells amazing at drop-off! The environment is spacious, clean, cheerful and interactive. The outdoor space is a huge bonus and one of the reasons we chose Foxes Bridge, plus there are regular visits to see the farm (and lambs!).

Review from Ed B (Father of Child) published on 26 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been going to Foxes since January 2024. We picked it because it has great outdoor space and opportunities to visit the farm, and the staff seemed great. We are so pleased we have sent our son here, the care and facilities they provide are excellent and all the staff are really caring with
all the children. This is shown with how they are around him as well as fact that the staff who work in the toddler room, not just those in the baby room, know his name and bits about him. They do different activities all the time, with the opportunity to get messy or make lots of noise. The food also looks brilliant and he seems to eat most, if not all of what he is given!


We would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son attended Foxes Bridge, Comberton for just over one year and we wish we had sent him there sooner! His pre-school years were a wonderful experience and have prepared him very well for school.
We were very impressed with the level of care that the team showed the children, they were consistently
productive and the children experienced a good balance of fun and structure, not to mention the healthy meals and snacks provided by the resident chef, which helped mould their formative years.
Our son speaks fondly of his time at Foxes Bridge and we miss it too - as working parents, you could not ask for a more supportive nursery provider.
Located on a farm in the Cambridgeshire countryside, with plenty of indoor and outdoor activities - this place is the best start for your child.

My daughter has just left Foxes Bridge to start reception and she had the best year of preschool! The staff were super caring, informative and friendly and they provided lots of fun and exciting activities daily. My daughter loved spending the spring visiting the new born lambs and watching them grow.
I highly recommend Foxes Bridge to all my friends!

My daughter has just graduated from pre-school at Foxes Bridge, Comberton and we already miss all staff! It's been a great year, during which she has learnt a lot each day and I knew that she was extremely well looked after and cared for. There isn't a single person in that nursery who isn't lovely
and who wouldn't know your child very well, from the office, through the kitchen and other rooms - they are all fantastic! If you're looking for a great nursery with the most caring and engaged staff, Foxes Bridge is your place! Thank you all, we miss you and will definitely visit!

We moved for a nursery we weren't completely happy with with the hope of finding something better but not really knowing if all nurseries were the same. Foxes proved to us that nursery can be an uplifting and beneficial experience for our child and us as parents. The level of care and attention they
give to the children and the relationships they build with the parents is fantastic. They have made nursery something so much more than just childcare whilst we're at work. They have been fantastic and I only wish they had been around when our child first started at nursery.

We could not be more happy with the care our daughter gets at Fox Bridge Farm. The staff are fantastic and she has very quickly learnt to feel comfortable with all of them and looks forward to her time at Nursery and the activities they do together. The staff are not only great with the children but
also welcoming to parents when dropping off and picking them up. I would highly recommend Foxes Bridge farm to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I genuinely cannot rate or recommend this nursery highly enough! Our son was born during the pandemic so missed out on so much at the start of his life- this nursery has already caught him up on so much that he missed, and so much more! The staff are amazing. They genuinely care about every child and
parent there, and learn all about us, tailoring the experience each person needs. The security is also very well done and we feel our child is very safe whilst there.


The food is brilliant, and I find myself jealous of the stuff he eats- its restaurant quality! We love Foxes! The only thing I could mark down is the use of ICT as I'm not sure how much of this they do with the children, but that's something that isn't important to our family at all, we'd much rather he have fun, be safe, be exposed to learning opportunities, both indoor and outdoor, and that the environment and staff are safe, kind, clean and loving, all of which this place definitely is! Highly recommend it, 100/10!

I cannot recommend Foxes Bridge nursery enough. The staff are incredibly supportive and work tirelessly to make sure our son has a great time each and every day. Communication is fantastic and so much effort goes into making the environment fun and welcoming. The professionalism of all staff with whom

Foxes Bridge is an outstanding nursery. Our son previously attended a different nursery, and the difference is huge - he is SO happy at Foxes. The space itself is wonderful - very outdoorsy, light and airy with big windows and fresh air in a beautiful farm setting. All the toys are beautiful and wooden,
and there is a wide range of toys and books, as well as activities such as painting. The staff are great, sweet and kind and my son loves them all. The menu was done by a nutritionist and it's so nice for me to not have to worry about his food.

The setting is not only the most idyllic spot, but the staff are all so caring, loving and fun! My child did not bat an eyelid about settling in at Foxes Bridge Farm and runs to the door most mornings. The tractors on the farm and the prospect of having animals to look after soon are huge bonuses. We
are very happy.

Foxes bridge nursery is a lovely setting for little ones to grow and explore.
My son and daughter started when they recently opened, and despite being a brand new nursery, they are working very hard to keep things running smoothly and keep children happy and well cared for. All the staff we have met
so far have been really lovely and there is a very familiar atmosphere. Communication with parents is good, as well as communication with the management team. We are pleased we chose to join this nursery.

My kiddos (2 and 4) have been at Foxes Bridge since it opened and I'm very happy with it. We wondered about moving my son as he only had a couple of months before starting school but he has absolutely thrived there. In fact, in those short months, I felt he was so valued, encouraged, understood, and
the staff genuinely knew him and cared about him more so than in the previous settings he had been in for significantly longer (we have moved a lot!). My 2-year-old is also thriving, and I am so confident that they are meeting all her development needs with love and care. I can't praise the staff enough! The manager also seems very dynamic and forward-thinking. It's also a bit cheaper than most in the local area despite in my opinion it being better resourced.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.492)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.492) out of 10 for Foxes Bridge 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.917 for Foxes Bridge Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.917
  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 4.575 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxes Bridge Farm Day Nursery & Pre-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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.875
  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.
