I cannot rave about Silks Farm enough; we decided on Silks for our son because of the glowing reviews we'd been told by friends who had sent their children there so knew we were in safe hands but since sending our LO there, we could not be happier with how he's getting on and being cared for.
The
first few settles and weeks were a little tricky, as to be expected from sending a LO below one year to be with people he doesn't know for eight hours a day, two days a week, not to mention all of the illnesses flying about - again, to be expected. However, the Robin's team put us totally at ease with our LO's health and wellbeing at the forefront of everything they did and the decisions they made.
Over a month on, our son now LOVES going to nursery and has come on leaps & bounds, growing in confidence week on week. To be stopped by one of the team at pick up, to be told how proud I should be of him and how well he's getting on - I was truly touched.

Everything is great about the care given to the children, the activities, food, outdoor space and play opportunities. The staff are lovely and attentive and my little one is always excited and keen to start the day there. The only complaint I have is that you no longer offer half day or shorter day
options. Obviously, for working parents who may be on slightly non standard schedules, this can make things very expensive and result in paying for a lot of unused hours. A bit more flexibility in this regard would be so helpful to many parents. Thanks for doing a great job and providing a lovely setting for our babies!

My daughter absolutely loved being in the pre school setting. The children all seem so happy and content which is lovely to see at pick up. We love seeing Maggie in her setting it really makes a difference seeing where she is spending her days. The only think I'd like to see more of is updates such
as what she has eaten throughout the day. We love Maggie brings home her art work and are so pleased with the level of learning she's is receiving

My daughter has attended Silksfarm Nursery since she was 9months old and is now 3.5years old. She always enjoys her day and loves all the staff within all the rooms!
The staff are always friendly and lovely to talk to!
My 2 nephews and other family members have also attended this nursery and we
will all be recommending them for future children in our family and to our friends!

My child has been attending Silks Farm since she was 16 months old and is now 2, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are absolutely incredible-their love, care, and support really show in how happy and excited my little one is to go in each day. She knows all the team by name,
and her development continues to amaze us week after week. We love hearing her talk about her day when we pick her up.
The team are always approachable, supportive, and efficient when answering any queries, and they genuinely go above and beyond to help wherever they can. I really appreciate the attention to detail they give to my child's development. The children are always happy, smiling, and welcoming at pick-up, which speaks volumes about the atmosphere. I also love how much time they spend outdoors and the variety of meals they provide. Overall, Silks Farm has a truly amazing, nurturing environment, and I would highly recommend it.

My son does 2 full days a week here and he really enjoys it. I think the variety of different ages of staff really helps with the children's development and engagement.
He enjoys being outside and playing with the other children.

Silks Farm is a fantastic nursery, in a lovely setting with fantastic, caring and compassionate staff. My little boy has thrived here and loves all of his teachers. The outside space is fab too. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery experience. We moved out of the area recently, and it was a
very sad day when we said our Goodbyes! Thank you for everything, Silks Farm team!

The teams that have looked after my daughters have been amazing, so helpful and caring. I would easily give them five stars. Both my daughters have enjoyed their time there and have really benefitted developmentally. The location of the nursery is great, out in the countryside and with access to
nature. The administration, however, and overall nursery policies are sadly what let it down. I have struggled to get places for my daughters on days other than Monday and Friday, and that’s most likely because you are charged the full fee for bank holidays - even though the nursery isn’t even open. This is instead of spreading the cost equally across all attendees. I have also had to contact the nursery on a couple of occasions to sort out miscalculated invoices and settling-in plans. At times, it feels like the parents are asked to be flexible (eg when there are unexpected staff shortages), but this flexibility is not returned. Overall, I would still recommend it, but things could be improved.

Silks Farm has been a wonderful nursery for my little girl; she’s had excellent care every day and she’s settled so well. I've had beautiful observations and wonderful feedback each day from her room. The team have been so heartwarming, and I can tell they really care; it’s made returning to work so
much easier.

Our son (15 months) has been at Silks Farm for six months now, and we could not be happier with how he is progressing. It's very obvious how much the staff care about the children and are incredibly passionate about what they do. Our son is always so excited to go to nursery and is thriving in the
environment that the brilliant team provide for the children. Can't recommend them enough!
14 March 2024
My daughter has been going to nursery since she was 9nine months old - she will be three in August.
The care she receives not just from her key worker, but all members of the team is impeccable.
They go out on little walks to the forest school; they do lots of activities, singing, dancing and
teaching sign language.
All children are well looked after, and I feel my daughter is safe in the environment.

Great nursery. We relocated to the local area and our son was welcomed by everyone very warmly. Made the transition as a 3 year old, very smoothly. He gets to be outside a lot, has learnt a lot and we get updated on his progress every day. Only this morning at breakfast did he say (unprompted) ‘I
love my nursery’.
The staff are fun but fair and firm. Very happy with their care.

Amazing staff and a lovely setting. The staff are always smiling and so helpful they understand families and are there to support individuals. Management is great always so understanding and supportive.

Our daughter started at Silks Farm just over a year ago when she was 6 months old, and has thrived ever since, thanks to the amazing staff who work so hard to support her. She is such a happy and confident little girl, and her key workers have all been so patient and kind as she has grown and
developed from a baby to a toddler! We love how spacious the nursery is, how many activities the kids have available to them, the relaxed yet professional attitude of the management and staff. They are continuously improving the environment for the kids, have a great outdoor space, and the forest school is such an asset. We would highly recommend the nursery to any new parents looking for a warm and inviting setting for their baby or young child, that is also exceptionally good value for money in the area. Oh and the meals they have on offer are fantastic - really diverse and nutritious - and have hugely helped our daughter to become a real foodie!
14 March 2024
All staff are so lovely and my daughter is always having a great time at nursery along with developing her skills.
My daughter loves playing outside and at nursery they really do promote playing outside. Overall a very well-run nursery and the food for the children is always great as well.
14 March 2024
Our daughter loves attending nursery and is always happy to go in and be collected. The staff are brilliant both with her and at communicating with me throughout the day. We are always kept well informed of changes, how much she has eaten and what she has been up to. Our son attended for his
preschool years and still misses Silks Farm.

Silks Farm is amazing. The staff are great, and my son loves going. Management is always accommodating with extra days. The carers have checked in on me multiple times when I have been struggling and have also been so supportive.
10 August 2023
Our daughter joined the nursery at the age of 2.5 mid-pandemic and had a hard time settling in. Due to me being pregnant and wanting to avoid contracting Covid or childhood illnesses, we kept our daughter home every time there was an infection notice from the nursery. This means that she didn't
settle in properly until I have given birth and could send her in without being afraid of the repercussions. However, she has fully blossomed in the nursery once she joined the Rabbit's room and got her key worker. Now she is a happy and confident lady that loves going to Silks Farm and spending time with her key worker and her friends. No more tantrums at the door, and even more so, whenever she is forced to miss a session, our daughter gets upset and cannot wait to go back again.
To sum up, despite our bumpy start, our overall experience with Silks Farm has been positive. We will miss all the lovely staff members and especially her key worker when our daughter leaves for her big school adventure.

My son started with Silks Farm Nursery School when he was 6 months old and he's now almost 2 years old. Even with us moving house, we kept him at the nursery simply because of how amazing the staff are. He loves attending nursery and the activities are brilliant. His development has come on leaps
and bounds and the staff genuinely seem so pleased when he learns something new. Couldn't fault them!
07 August 2023
Lovely, attentive staff who really got to know our daughter. She always came home happy and clearly had lots of fun. It was great how often the children accessed outside space. She also had lots of opportunities to do activities and learned counting and how to write her name.
