Review from Rianna H (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Being a first time mum & new to the feeling of sending our little one to a nursery was very daunting. However, I cannot fault barleylands nursery at all. Always so welcoming & friendly to our family and our little boy has learnt so many new skills in such a short period of being here. Thankyou endless amounts to all the team here at barleylands we cannot thank you enough!! Ps- the farm trips DAILY are a huge success with our son, not to add it's so clean & our son eats Michelin star meals each time he attends. He's adapted so well and will be sad to see it end when he's off to big school :)

Overall Experience
My son has attended since opening and the staff have been nothing but incredible.
He had a really hard time settling in & the staff worked so hard to help make him comfortable, even providing additional settling in sessions for him to ensure he wasn't out the rhythm of being there.
He's thriving, i drop him off with confidence that he'll have a fun day & love getting end of day updates of what he's been up to or what he's interested in most.

Most importantly, his eating has always been difficult & they've worked so hard in introducing foods, splitting his meals to encourage him to try things. The pride I felt when the staff excitedly told me he ate a strawberry!! It's truly lovely to have staff that are invested in his development.

Overall Experience

Having moved my 3 year old son from another setting due to not being happy with them after he was with them for over 2 years, I was worried if I had done the right thing. I need not have worried. All the ladies at Barleylands are lovely and clearly love helping the children to grow and develop. They show great encouragement, are personable, friendly and are a delight to have look after my son. I have already recommended them to numerous other Mums. Thank you to all at Barleylands, you're doing a fantastic job :-)

Review from Bradlee L (Father of Child) published on 5 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been attending Barleylands Farm since it opened and we couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention he receives. The staff are exceptionally nurturing and professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment that has made our son feel right at home.

Recently, the nursery installed new privacy fencing, which has significantly enhanced the outdoor play area. The improved fencing not only ensures the children's safety but also provides a more secluded space for them to explore and play freely. We are truly grateful for the positive impact Barleylands has had on our son's development and well-being. The combination of dedicated staff and thoughtful improvements like the new fencing makes it a standout choice for any parent seeking quality childcare. I would also like to give a massive thank you to one lady for the outstanding work and effort she puts in with the children. You should be extremely proud of yourself and so should your management team!

Review from Zoe J (Mother of Child) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has just started the nursery, from the settle sessions to his first few days, all of the team has been incredible. For the first few days, as my son was very unsettled, we got messages and phone call updates and photos to reassure us he was settling which made the whole going back to work a lot easier. I am extremely happy with what they offer and would highly recommend. Since being at the nursery, he has visited the farm every day which is such a fantastic opportunity. They have also catered very well to every changing dietary requirements.
