Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary

We absolutely love orchard barns, our little boy is now 2 and a half in their pre school group and has thrived since joining at 9 months old , he loves going and always asks after everyone in his class and especially loves seeing Abbie who has helped him so much in his development, fantastic staff always so creative in their play I'd highly recommend to anyone

An exceptional environment for babies and toddlers to receive the very best of care, support and development. All this including great outdoors facilities and above all an utmost skilled and caring team surrounding your little loved ones!

Very accommodating and welcoming to our daughter as a new starter. Olivia went above and beyond and all the staff were friendly. Our daughter loves time spent outdoors, there are daily updates via the app, a food menu you can view in advance and easy drop off and collection system.

Great facilities, very professional staff. Very happy with the care provided.

My niece has attended for the last few years, she has come along leaps and bounds since going there. The staff are amazing with her. She always speaks positively about the nursery.

Would 100% recommend

My daughter has been at Orchard Barns for nearly a year now in both the baby and toddler rooms. It was the best thing we did moving her there after an awful experience at another nursery. Amazingly, she settled at Orchard Barns from day one and has loved it ever since.

It has a small, home from home feel and all the staff are very kind and caring. They actually care about the children and it isn't just a job for them.

Well thought out, enriching activities happen every day my daughter is there and time outside is plentiful. The chef makes home cooked, nutritious meals which my daughter loves and we are kept well up to date of everything through the app.

I highly recommend Orchard Barns! It can be daunting handing over your baby but I know my daughter is in safe hands with all the staff there.

Our eldest has been at Orchard Barns for a few years and our youngest is due to start in a few weeks. We love the nursery and the team there and have always felt complete confidence in leaving our child in their care. The facilities are great and the way they structure the day is fab for giving the kids both routine with freedom. My child's favourite activities include 'rhythm time' and forest school, plus playing in the garden. Any concerns we've raised about our child's personal abilities within the nursery setting have been immediately and professionally addressed in the most supportive and caring way. Our child has thrived going to nursery here and we would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Great nursery - really welcoming and friendly staff who I trust completely. My little girl has been there 1.5 years now and just loves it. Good healthy food and lots of opportunities to play outside. The staff are great at coming up with creative activities to do as well.

WE moved our child from another setting in 2024. We were attracted by positive feedback from other parents and the rural/outdoor setting and space. We are very pleased with Orchard Barn, staff, environment, food and would recommend to others.

Thank you.

We honestly couldn't recommend Orchard Barns highly enough!

Our daughter is thriving, and we couldn't ask for more. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and professional setting for their child.

Fantastic nursery, and glad we chose to take our son here!

My son has been attending this nursery for some time now, and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. The outdoor garden areas are especially impressive-there's so much space and so many opportunities for the children to explore, learn, and develop new skills. The activities are engaging and thoughtfully planned, and the facilities are excellent. Most importantly, the staff are all incredibly warm, caring, and supportive. It's a wonderful nursery with fantastic activities, beautiful outdoor space, and a truly nurturing environment.

The space is beautiful, homely, and thoughtfully designed, and rhythm time makes learning and reading practice so engaging and fun. It truly is a special place.

We are extremely happy with this nursery! Its small scale creates a warm, family-like atmosphere where every child is truly seen and cared for. The strong connection with nature is something we value deeply - the children spend plenty of time outdoors, exploring, playing, and learning in a natural environment. The caregivers are wonderful: kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the children's well-being and development. We've also noticed great improvements in the management over the past few months, which has made everything run even more smoothly. We couldn't imagine a better place for our son to grow and thrive!

I cannot speak more highly of tis wonderful nursery. We have had two children here over four years and they have both adored it. The staff feel like family and treat every child with care, respect and thoughtfulness. The rural setting is beautiful, the facilities excellent and the activities planned every day for the children are educational, entertaining and exciting for all ages. Orchard Barn is a happy and fulfilling place to learn and play - and our children have adored it.

My son has been at Orchard Barns for the last 2 years, and my now school age daughter also previously attended. It is the most wonderful nursery with lovely, caring and dedicated staff, fantastic facilities both indoors and outdoors and great food. Communication between staff and parents is great. My children have really flourished here, making lovely friends and learning lots of new skills. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

If you're looking for an incredible nursery, look no further than Orchard Barns.

I am so pleased to have the opportunity to send my daughter here. She is always happy to go in and comes out smiling without fail, excited to tell me about her day. She adores her key person and is non-stop talking about her. It's clear she receives the best care possible and is given loads of opportunities to explore a variety of activities every day. Thank you so much to all of the staff.

It is daunting trying to find a nursery that you would be happy to leave your child in, especially when they are your first. But we couldn't be happier with Orchard Barns and the initial guilt of having to put our daughter into nursery has completely gone when we know she enjoys it so much and is cared for so well.
