Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary

This is a wonderful nursery. I have two children who currently attend the nursery and they couldn’t be happier there. The care and attention from staff are excellent. The range of activities that they plan for the children is varied and interesting. Best of all they get messy! Plus the forest school element to the nursery is fantastic- they build bird hides, make popcorn, make bird feeders and so much more. The staff are always willing to go the extra mile for the children. The updates you receive throughout the day are lovely with photos and detailed comments and the food that the children are provided with is healthy, varied and sounds delicious! A wonderful nursery!

We have two children that attend the nursery and have done for the last 3 years. The children have participated in so many fun and exciting activities both indoors and outdoors. As well as the fun that the children have at the nursery, the main selling point are the bonds that the children have built with the staff. They really take the time to get to know the children and their personalities. Communication from the nursery is excellent. Both children have thoroughly enjoyed going to the nursery which is an environment that has helped develop their social and learning skills in fun and interactive way.

My 16-month-old son started Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary this year, after looking at many nurseries around this area we found Orchard Barn was the best by far. His skills of sharing and interaction with other children has improved immensely since attending. The staff are amazing with him, very attentive and caring. Their communication with myself is everything I could wish for, from the weekly parent updates to the Parent App to see what he's been up to that day. Would highly recommend to anyone, 5* outstanding in my opinion.

I've heard from many colleagues who's children or grandchildren have been previous attendees of Orchard Barn and I've only ever heard good things. Thank you for caring for our boy with so much love and care.

Both of our children have attended Orchard Barn in Stratford for 3 years. It is a fantastic place. The children have had wonderful key workers in their time there and we have seen their confidence grow as they have been nurtured and cared for. The children have both loved attending and made fantastic friends. The communication between nursery and home is first-rate and they went the extra mile during the recent COVID-19 crisis to ensure the children were supported at home during lockdown as well as the parents with regular updates, sessions and meetings online. I can thoroughly recommend Orchard Barn.

I can not recommend Orchard Barn enough - the setting is excellent, with plenty of play equipment and resources, and the way they have approached the current situation with Covid-19 has been both admirable and hugely comforting in an otherwise disconcerting time.

My daughter (8-months-old) is in her second week attending Orchard Barn and has already settled in so well. The staff have been excellent at welcoming her to the nursery and have made me feel at ease from day one. She attended three settling in sessions before starting and this really helped the transition to two full days a week. The nursery itself is wonderful with lots of bright colours and activities for the children and I particularly love the emphasis on outdoor play. The updates on the ParentZone app are fantastic as well as weekly e-mail updates from the manager about what has been happening in nursery that week. I have been really impressed with everything at Orchard Barn and would definitely recommend this nursery to any parents looking for childcare options.

Orchard Barn nursery has always taken such wonderful care of both my children. There are lots of different activities for the children to take part in, and they always make sure the children are safe and happy. The staff are very caring towards the children and always take the time to make sure your child is included in everything. They are very informative about your child's day and all the weekly news from the nursery to keep parents up to date is excellent. I would highly recommend Orchard Barn nursery to any parent looking for outstanding care for their child.

Our 1-year-old son stared at Orchard Barn at the beginning of August 2020. He has settled in very quickly, the staff are lovely and he is very happy there. The feedback and updates we receive are excellent.

One of the best nurseries I have seen/been to. Clean, friendly and welcoming staff and fully equipped with all your children’s needs. I remember back when I went to nursery and it didn’t have any of the toys, educational values and facilities this lovely place does. I would highly recommend this place to any of my friends or family that have children.

Great nursery, lovely setting and friendly staff. My daughter loves it here, looks forward to coming every day. Very clean and organized. Would highly recommend Orchard Barn at Stratford St Mary.
