My son has been studying here for over two months. At first, he didn't like it; every morning when I told him to go to school, he would say, "I don't want to go." But now he really enjoys going to school. The teachers are very dedicated to the children. Thank you to the teachers and the school. I
wish the school continued success and brilliance.

Having had to move nurseries suddenly due to closure (and around the Christmas break of all times!) finding Barney Lodge was a godsend. My son had been at the previous place for over a year and had made so many friends and loved the staff, so moving was hard. He settled in and got attached to the
staff at Barney lodge so quickly, I couldn't be happier. The staff really made the effort to accommodate him and the things he decided he had to do to feel comfortable. He obviously felt comfortable because we even managed to potty train within the first few weeks of a huge change for him! Thanks everyone, we love it!

Last year we moved from Andover to Warminster, and both us and our little one could not be happier with the nursery especially the staff. Even when it's cold the children are always outside, wrapped up but not stuck inside all winter (The amount of colds has definitely decreased this winter!). The
main thing is our little one loves it, he's made lots of friends and always talks about he's nursery workers too. Our next we will definitely be putting them straight on the waiting list.

Our LO has been at Barney Lodge Nursery for over 2 years, and in that time, we've seen him thrive and grow into such a lovely, independent and capable boy.
The team are so incredible and encouraging of the kids to learn new skills and be outside as much as possible.
We've always had such good
relationships with all the key workers, and there's a real sense of trust and honesty.
For anyone looking for a nursery with a great mix of play, structure, outdoor learning and teaching the little ones to be independent, I can't recommend it enough.

Staff are kind, they all know my child by name not just her teachers. Getting updates via app gives me peace of mind and any issues I'm alerted immediately. I love the news letters and it is very easy to get in contact with management if I have any concerns or queries. Well done guys keep it up!

I have felt very supported by the staff in the "Hedgehogs" class. My baby just started and Ive just gone to back to work so I have been anxious about how she would settle. The staff are very loving and nurturing and my baby has settled so well. Im feeling really positive about a transition
I was dreading.

My son absolutely loves Barney lodge all the staff are so lovely and great with him.
He is currently going through the process of being diagnosed with ASD.
They have been so amazing at catering to his needs and giving all the extra support that's needed for him
I couldn't recommend this nursery
enough !!

My daughter has attended since she was 13 months and has absolutely thrived! The outdoor space is fantastic and the activities such as cooking/baking are lovely to see. I really enjoy the stay and play sessions as it's great to see her in the environment. The staff all know her and she goes in
excited each day.

The team at Barney Lodge Nursery have been a wonderful part of my son's early years journey. He has been nurtured and cared for to an exceptional standard. The team are dedicated and passionate to childrens development and they allow children to learn through play. The room members know all the
children extremely well and take time to build bonds with parents and siblings, it feels like a lovely community setting where they care about all aspects and persons in a childs life.

My eldest is graduating after 4.5 years at Barney Lodge and my youngest has been there just over 2. They both went at 3 months and so we have experienced every stage and room at the nursery.
The facilities are brilliant, especially the garden. It's mostly Montessori style and there are so many
different resources for the children to enjoy.
The staff are all genuine, deeply caring humans. I don't know how they manage 10 hour days with such boundless patience.
Having just been to the graduation ceremony was a privilege to see what a lovely, confident bunch of kids they've nurtured for us parents.

My child is thriving at Barney Lodge. He is happy when he arrives and happy when he leaves. They provide him with various stimulating activities, often messier than I want to do at home. He is trying a variety of new foods at meal times. Staff are kind and caring, and keep us at to date with what
he's doing that day. The outdoor spaces are large and beautiful. Barney Lodge gives you great value for your money; including food, nappies and sunscreen etc in their prices.

My daughter is in hedgehog baby room since Oct 2024, I can see that she improves a lot in terms of vocabulary and engagement to play, dancing and singing nursery rhymes. She able to sleep independently and likes other babies/toddlers company. The hedgehog team is very helpful and amazing team.
Thanks to their excellent work.

We love Barney Lodge. My little boy has settled in so well. The baby room + garden is lovely, with so many enriching activities on offer in a safe environment. My baby has allergies and it has always been taken seriously and my instructions adhered to. I had the pleasure of attending a stay + play
session this week. It was lovely to see baby enjoying nursery + being shown genuine care and attention by the staff. Families are made to feel welcomed and listened to and staff are very thoughtful. Sending baby to nursery was nervewracking but Barney Lodge really helped the transition and knowing how happy he is there is wonderful.

Barney Lodge has been superb. The team that look after my daughter are thoughtful, proactive and so kind, listening and communicationg with us. I feel as though they have the best interests for our child and have a good level of trust with the team. Proud to send our child there. She has learnt and
developed so much.

Our son has just left Barney Lodge Nursery School (to start school) after being with them since he was 21 months old. There are not enough words to describe what a truly wonderful place Barney Lodge is. Our son has special needs and they have gone above and beyond to ensure he had everything he
needed to thrive. The staff were always so patient, calm, caring and understanding and Barney Lodge became like a second home for us. We were so sad to leave but our son truly blossomed at Barney Lodge that he was ready for the next chapter!
A huge thanks again to the team.

Having my son at Barney Lodge Nursery School has been an amazing experience for him. The staff are really warm and loving which helped my son to gain confidence to learn and interact with others. His speech and manner have greatly improved since he joined the nursery. Thank you to all the team at
Barney Lodge.

We have had the most wonderful experience with Barney Lodge Nursery School and the team who work there. They really understand our child and their ways and communicate with him so well. They have a great outdoor space which my child loves. The team are always welcoming, calm and collected even if
inside they may be feeling otherwise. He has been there since 9 months as I returned to work, it was a huge deal for our family as it was Covid and we had little support due to isolation. It was a huge deal and meant that we fully trusted what we saw in Barney Lodge and still feel that way. They have really understood our son and engage with the children’s interests. Childcare isn’t cheap as we know but it brings us peace of mind that he is in a great environment that also covers his food through the day. Even giving him seconds and thirds when he wants it. It would be nice to have a parent's type evening to really discuss the individual child and development, I know some nurseries do this. Thank you all.

My son loves going to Barney Lodge, he has a big beaming smile when we arrive for drop off! It didn't take very long at all for him to settle in, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. When I visit the nursery, the manager has taken time out of her busy schedule to talk to me on numerous
occasions. My son's keyworkers have really gotten to know him well and he is exposed to a variety of fun and engaging activities. When I pick him up, the staff always take time to chat with me about what he has done in his time there and give me helpful advice to help with things like his speech development. Very impressed with this nursery and so glad I chose to send my son there!

We are very happy that our son visits Barney Lodge. All the team members are very qualified, polite and kind. They really know what to do. If you have any questions they are more than happy to help you. We really recommend Barney Lodge as the best nursery.
