Great nursery, very approachable staffs, clean, great food. I got a place right away as we recently moved to the area. But the manager and other staff were very friendly and readily available to discuss our circumstances. Thank you.

After a tricky start for our little one, I now look forward to picking her up and hearing all about her day! The staff have invested so much time and care into getting her settled and I'm so pleased that she's now loving life at nursery. She is even taking it upon herself to help the newer babies to
settle, she's clearly learnt from the best. As someone who works in Early Years it is clear to see that the staff are the perfect mix of personable and professional and they clearly take time to reflect on the children's progress in the areas that matter the most. I love the way they chat to me on pick up showing a genuine enthusiasm for the day they have had with the babies a testament to how good they are!

My son loves going to nursery and looks forward to seeing all the members of staff. So many different activities are on offer and the children have a real input in their activities. He is learning so much in the nursery and the staff are kind and fun-loving!

The nursery is extremely high quality - from the setting to the staff and everything in between. The building is new and clean, the rooms are well-maintained. The food is high quality and my child absolutely loves all the meals. The staff are friendly and really knowledgeable and they always keep up
to date with our child's progress via phone calls and the App. I couldn't recommend this nursery more!

We've been at First Friends since September and so far my little one has loved it! He's learned so much and his personality has grown and developed too. It's great to see him so happy at the end of the day, and equally happy to go in on the mornings! The staff in the baby room have been so good with
him and I really feel like he gets a lot of attention and gets to do lots of activities.

We love first friends. Our little boy has come along leaps and bounds since starting in April 2024. They provide a safe and secure environment for children to learn with a variety of resources. No day is the same! There is always something new to learn. I can't wait to pick up my little boy and him
tell me all about the things he's done that day! They are brilliant at drop-off (my little one isn't great when I leave) but they help him calm and just know what to do! Which puts my mind at ease also! From a parent's perspective- they are so friendly and easy to talk to. If you have any issues you can approach and they will be dealt with, with empathy and professionalism! Also, they've just had a massive renovation with new resources always a bonus! Thank you to all the staff at First Friends Barford St Martin. You are all wonderful!

My son has been at the nursery from the baby room through to the preschool room. He absolutely loves it there and goes running in excited every morning and hides when I try to collect him in the evenings! The staff have been fantastic at adapting to his individual needs and recognising when he needs
things done slightly differently from other children.
Our daughter also goes to the nursery now and is in the baby room. The separate sleep room is amazing and the staff in the baby room are so calm and kind that she has adjusted so well to being away from me.
Both my children absolutely love the cooking and try new things they would never try at home! I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Our son has been really happy here and loved preparing for his nativity show.
Really helped build his confidence.
He has loved all of the activities building up to Christmas, making decorations, reading stories, and making his costume.

My little boy has gone through from the baby room to preschool at First Friends, Barford, and he absolutely loves it. The staff are caring, approachable and clearly know the children in their care so well. I love to see how they adapt the play and learning on offer to match the children's interests,
and the next steps for us to work on are always spot on. I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery on our doorstep.

We have placed both our children in the Barford nursery and couldn't be happier with our choice. Our eldest has left now, but still regularly asks to come along and pick up her brother so she can see the team again!
Our youngest is really starting to thrive in the setting. He takes his time to adapt
to things and they have been really supportive of him during his time so far. It is really starting to show through and he is so much more confident and comfortable within the setting.
We aren't having any more children, but if we were, we'd happily send them there if needed!

Fantastic nursery with staff that are only too willing to help. Our daughter has been here for nearly two years and I can't think of a bad thing to say. We leave our daughter here three days a week and don't worry for even a moment even though she has very long days here. She clearly enjoys the nursery
and always eats very well.
It is managed exceptionally well and very organised.
We're really very happy to have our daughter here.

My son started at First Friends in January 2023 and I couldn’t be more pleased with everything. The team have been so welcoming and made us feel at ease from the first day. The staff feedback on his day and are always there for a chat. We moved our son from another setting so we were worried about the
transition but it went so smoothly. We are so pleased we made the move. Couldn’t recommend the setting highly enough.

A lovely nursery with amazing staff! I looked at many nurseries when I was deciding which one for my baby and just knew as soon as I walked in that First Friends was the one for us!
I love the separate sleep room and the space in the baby room. As a first time mum I was a little anxious but from the
start I felt reassured by the staff team, I know my baby is safe and very well looked after and know that I've made the right decision.

My daughter has been with First Friends Day Nursery - Barford St Martin since she was 10 months old and is now 3, she's come on leaps and bounds since being there and absolutely loves it there.
She has made some lovely little friends, experienced lots of different activities including forest school.
She has had support with learning to walk, eat independently and potty training too. She's always making and doing lots of things so comes home happy and full and talks about school and her friends all the time.
Staff are caring and supportive of my child and we love the nursery so much we are sending our newest daughter there next year.
She also loves the food made from scratch there as she often asks for second helpings. A great little place for little learners.

My child was very unsettled due to Covid, confidence has come out so much more now. The improvements on Barford Saint Martin outlook sign is the colour of the fence just stands out lovely all around. This looks beautiful now, the staff are lovely, she always comes home and tells us how much she loves
it there and she loves the staff. My daughter is just all-around settled in playschool.

Wow, what a wonderful nursery - we highly recommend First Friends based on our experience. Our daughter has been incredibly happy since day one - she loves the team, who are warm and friendly, and happily bounds into Nursery at drop off every morning. I believe this is a testament to the love and care
from the team and the fun activities on offer. Lately, we have had spooky Halloween themed cards and crafts and an individually decorated pumpkin (still displayed at home!). We recently had a newborn and the nursery made us a lovely welcome baby card which was so thoughtful. Spending time outdoors is really important to me and the outdoor facilities are excellent with free flow access for toddlers and lots of time spent outside daily. The nursery also regularly take the children out on walks around the local area. Very happy with the ethos, environment and personal touch.
