I've noticed wonderful improvements at Arcewood Nursery over the past six months. The new management has made a significant positive impact. The staff are very attentive and organized, creating a nurturing environment for the children. My child comes home happier every day, which speaks volumes about

the positive changes. I highly recommend Acrewood!

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Manor Farm, I chose the setting because of the garden and nice rooms. Since it was bought by another company there has been a large turnover of staff, which has caused some issues. However, I feel that this has mainly settled down now, and the team that work there are

lovely, caring and responsive to the children. They've taken a lot of time to reassure my daughter and help her settle into going, which has been a slower process. Overall, I think Manor Farm is a lovely nursery for children to attend.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear that Manor Farm's caring and responsive team has helped your daughter feel comfortable and supported.

Overall Experience

We enrolled our 10 month old son into Manor Farm in December and we are beyond happy with the progress he is making. Our son has created a lovely bond with the lady in the baby room who has really taken a shine to him and has created a great routine with him! She's absolutely brilliant!
We are updated

with his day, foods he is eating and it's lovely to see him engaging with other babies and staff when we pick him up.
Also would like to add how helpful the rest of the team are! If we have any queries, they are more than happy to help and reply extremely quickly.
We are really looking forward to seeing our boy grow and developing more as he moves up in the nursery.

My first experience of sending my daughter to nursery. She runs in every morning and spends all evening babbling about what she has done throughout the day. Staff are welcoming and reassuring and their hard work can be seen in how much our daughter loves attending.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been with Acre Wood since 8 months old and she's loved it from the start.
The staff are amazing and have helped her with the additional support she required for walking, often going above and beyond.
She's happy every day she comes home and we get regular updates on her activities

throughout the day.
It's a brilliant setting and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Since our little one started at Acre Wood Day Nursery he has thrived and settled in so well. The staff are so lovely and you can see they genuinely care so much about their development. We love the site of the nursery, being that bit smaller compared to some. It's great to see them all so happy and

friendly. I love dropping him off for breakfast, looks like carnage but the best kind!

Overall Experience

This nursery has improved tenfold since the new management took over. We chose this nursery simply because it is the only nursery that can offer us the hours we need. Under the old management, I absolutely dreaded sending my child in every day and was trying to move them. Any concerns I had were met

by an extremely unhelpful manager (now long gone) with a visibly unhappy team. Since the new team/manager came on board my child has come on leaps and bounds. My child loves going in, the team are great at keeping us updated and the facilities have really improved too. We now feel happy sending our child in every day knowing they are in great hands.

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Acre Wood Day Nursery

What a transformation story! We're over the moon that you've noticed such a positive change since our new management team took the reins. It's incredibly rewarding to hear that your child now loves coming in and is flourishing under our care. We've worked hard to create a warm, welcoming environment, and knowing that you feel confident and happy sending your child to us each day means the world. Thank you for sticking with us - we're so glad to have turned things around for you!

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery since he was a little over 1 year old, in that time I have trusted the nursery with the most precious thing in my and my wife's lives, he has been cared for and very well looked after! They have developed his speech, his confidence, and his life skills, and have

prepared him for the next step (big boy school) which starts in September. I can't thank all the staff there enough for their help in developing my boy and showing compassion and care to him! Thank you all!

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Flitwick Day Nursery

Your heartfelt review has truly touched us! It's been a privilege to care for your son since he was just over 1 year old. Watching him grow in speech, confidence, and life skills has been a joy. We're thrilled to have prepared him for "big boy school" this September! Thank you for entrusting us with the most precious thing in your lives. Your gratitude means the world to our dedicated team!

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Acrewood since April 2022. Over the past two years there has been a change in management and many staff.
Whilst the nursery at the time was adequate and our son was happy, since the new manager took over the nursery is a different place. It welcomes parents to come inside, talk

with staff and see the children in their environment.
It is warm and welcoming. The displays are well kept and, despite the building being a little dated, they make the most of the facilities. The activities our son does are engaging, educational and stimulating. He has formed excellent relationships with all staff and children. We are very happy with his care and feel he is very safe whilst there. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work and efforts. Couldn't recommend it highly enough to anyone reading this review.

My son is not yet talking. I have recently introduced sign language to him.
Manor Farm have been an asset to this consistency in this new method of communication for my son.
The staff have accommodated all of my requests regarding his newly established sign language, and I am very grateful for his

opportunities to build on his confidence using sign, due to the consistency he receives at Manor Farm.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here since she was 10 months and she is now 2 and 1/2. We have always found the whole staffing team warm, welcoming and friendly, making it easier on me to trust them looking after my daughter. Her learning and development have come on so much in the past six months through

the varied activities. She enjoys the variety of snacks and meals offered and we like the varied menus offered. The one negative I'd say is the app, it is nowhere near as detailed as the previous app and is not as easy to use along with the constant rising fees with no noticeable change to care.

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Manor Farm Day Nursery

Thank you for sharing your lovely experience! Watching your daughter grow from 10 months to 2 and a half has been a joy for us. We're glad she enjoys the varied activities and menus. We appreciate your feedback on the app and fees and we're always looking to improve. Your trust in us is truly valued!

Overall Experience

I can’t praise Manor Farm Day Nursery highly enough. My son has been attending since he was 8.5 months old and he has progressed so much during his time here. He walks in every day excited to go to nursery. All the staff have been supportive and attentive during various transitions and big steps (no

dummy, potty training, speech development). They always provide detailed handovers at pick-up and I love hearing about all the different activities he gets up to during his day. All the staff are lovely and friendly and my son has made so many friends with the other children in his class. Parking is an issue (especially at morning drop-off) but that is outside of the nursery's control.

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Manor Farm Day Nursery

Your glowing review of Manor Farm Day Nursery has made our day! Watching your son progress since he was 8.5 months old has been a privilege. We're delighted he's excited to come in every day and that our staff have been supportive through big milestones. Despite the parking issue, your praise means the world to us. Thank you for trusting us with your son's care and development!

Since 2020, both my children have attended Manor Farm over different time spans. My son started there when I was new to the area and didn't know anyone. Manor Farm was a friendly and safe place and I knew my son would be happy there. So my daughter joined in 2022 as well. All the staff are caring and

kind and they provide a lovely and varied range of activities to keep the children entertained. I'll be sad when my daughter's time there is up when she starts school. Thank you Manor Farm!

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Manor Farm Day Nursery

We're overjoyed to hear your kind words about Manor Farm! From the moment your son joined in 2020, to welcoming your daughter in 2022, it's been an absolute pleasure to be part of your family's journey. Knowing we provided a friendly, safe haven when you were new to the area warms our hearts. Our caring staff and varied activities are dedicated to creating happy memories. We'll miss your daughter dearly when she starts school, but we're so grateful for the time we've shared. Thank you for being part of our Manor Farm family!

Can't fault the nursery at all, friendly, helpful staff with good facilities and a variety of activities to keep the children occupied. Would highly recommend as I get nothing but smiles every time I do the pick-up and very informative of everything they've been up to in the day, how they've done, what

they've eaten or not eaten! Any little bumps and an app to keep track of things too, great establishment.

We are so pleased that Acre Wood was our choice for our little one. She has absolutely thrived since joining last year. She waves goodbye to us at the door now with no looking back which is the biggest reassurance for us. We love the updates and observations we get and it’s great to see that the staff

support communication through the use of sign language - we have to keep up with how much she knows! Thank you Acre Wood.
