Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Having moved my 3 year old son from another setting due to not being happy with them after he was with them for over 2 years, I was worried if I had done the right thing. I need not have worried. All the ladies at Barleylands are lovely and clearly love helping the children to grow and develop. They
show great encouragement, are personable, friendly and are a delight to have look after my son. I have already recommended them to numerous other Mums. Thank you to all at Barleylands, you're doing a fantastic job :-)

Little Chestnuts at Thrift Farm

from Gabrielle H (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My little one started around a month ago. He is doing 1.5 days per week.
He started with 6 settle sessions, which got progressively longer to ease him in. He was initially really spooked to be left by himself, this is the first time he has been in a childcare setting without family members. His confidence
has progressed really quickly because of how great the room staff are with him.
Before enrolling, I used to take him to the farm frequently. I had seen how the nursery treated the little ones in their care.
I knew before he joined that thrift was the place for my son. I was right. He has come home with a new story to tell every time he has attended. He has lot ls of fun and talks about how nice they all are. He talks about different foods he has tried and enjoyed. I'm really happy with everything, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Wow, My first time visiting the setting to collect my niece, what can I say,
I was welcomed by one of the management team who introduced me to the setting ensured all safeguarding procedures were followed, asking who I was and the relation to the child, after the initial meet, I then met another member
of management who was also very welcoming and professional. Both members of staff showed me to the room, giving me a tour of the whole setting, all I can say is WOW what a lovely environment and atmosphere to work in with children. All staff were happy to be at work and all children were happy, really enjoyed the time spent dropping off my niece and could suggest any parent is in safe hands.
Outstanding performance on their own sensory room and daily trips to the farm, never experienced before
What a team!

My little girl started at Thrift farm a couple weeks ago and I cannot fault them. They listen to your child's needs and requirements, and as a first time mum the reassurance they have provided is next to none. My little one is absolutely loves it and always comes home so happy. They update the app regularly
with meal times, sleeps ect. I can't wait to see how she develops in the next few months

I cannot speak highly enough of little Chestnuts. From the very start we have always had a very positive experience. All the staff are very engaging and friendly, we are greeted every morning with a smile and positive attitude. When my daughter first started, the staff were very communicative about
her time during the session and really wanted to do everything they could to ensure complete enjoyment for her. She is now very comfortable and eager to go in, always with open arms! My daughter loves the outdoors so the outdoor space and the regular farm visits are amazing! We always receive regular updates and pictures and they also ensure to get involved in things like mental health days, mothers day and other occasions!

My daughter started in October/ November 24 in toddler room . The staff have been amazing , and really helped her settle in . They give me daily updates on collection. It took us a while to find a nursery we liked for our daughter , and we couldn't be happier . She gets to do dancing every second Monday
and also visits the farm . The staff have been very lovely to my daughter , and also put me at ease too ! . The staff have supported a mum that felt the worst mum guilt at the beginning of tearful drops offs , while our daughter was settling . Also we have noticed such a big different in our daughter independence and can't thank the staff enough for what they teach her :)

Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School

from Kate B (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

It is such a great opportunity to be able to send my child to Godstone Farm nursery. She is on the farm, feeding, looking after and learning about the animals every week. Not only that but she also gets to play on the farm play area and go on the dinosaur trail. Without fail she goes to play outside
every day which she loves, especially riding the bikes and playing in the sand. In addition to all of these physical and extra curricular activities, my daughter is being taught numeracy and literacy skills, learning about themed topics each week and always being read to. The only niggle I have is that staff handovers aren't always great. It's either rushed, or from a staff member who wasn't with my child that day. There has also been a noticeable lack of photos and updates on the parents group which is a shame because it's lovely to see what they're up to. Despite this, staff are all so welcoming and my daughter is pleased to see them all when I drop her off which is lovely

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Thank you all! Our nearly 3 year old daughter has been attending Godstone Farm Day Nursery since we moved home around 8 months ago and my husband, daughter and I all couldn't be more pleased! It is not the closest nursery to us but we chose it following visiting several around our local area, and feeling
that Godstone stood out as a place which focused on developing curious and creative toddlers, who enjoy being outdoors (with a very large garden and farm visits), getting messy, having fun and nurturing independence. We felt this was where she would thrive. Over the past year, my daughter has developed wonderfully. She is eager to attend and comes home proud to show us the artwork she has created or the newborn piglets she has seen or friends she has played with. The staff are skilled, friendly and warm with both children and parents. Her key worker and room leader are both brilliant at their jobs and caring and we feel blessed to have them. Thank you everyone for what you do!

Reply from Leah Lowman, Nursery Manager at Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for writing such a lovely review about our nursery and what we offer here. We know just how much your little one loves coming into nursery, seeing all her friends and learning facts she can tell others about. We feel proud to provide the outdoor areas that our children love to visit such as our large garden, play park on the farm and the dinosaur trail.

Our son has been attending Barleylands Farm since it opened and we couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention he receives. The staff are exceptionally nurturing and professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment that has made our son feel right at home.
Recently, the nursery installed
new privacy fencing, which has significantly enhanced the outdoor play area. The improved fencing not only ensures the children's safety but also provides a more secluded space for them to explore and play freely. We are truly grateful for the positive impact Barleylands has had on our son's development and well-being. The combination of dedicated staff and thoughtful improvements like the new fencing makes it a standout choice for any parent seeking quality childcare. I would also like to give a massive thank you to one lady for the outstanding work and effort she puts in with the children. You should be extremely proud of yourself and so should your management team!

A lovely nursery with staff who my daughter has developed genuine bonds with, she runs to press the button at drop-offs and excitedly tells me about her day at pick-ups. With the unique aspect of farm visits and a huge outdoor area, I feel this is a special place, which gives her the kind of experience
of a home-from-home. She has allergies and the staff are always on top of her well-being, thank you Godstone Farm Day Nursery!

My children went to two different nurseries at the same time and I saw first-hand how they much preferred Godstone Farm over the other one they went to. The fact that they have access to the farm and the soft play is a major plus.
The staff are great and approachable, and are accommodating to parents
as well as the children which includes dietary and medical needs. Management is amazing and on the ball. I can see developments with my toddler in the way he speaks and acts so I know the interactions and engagement are positive and consistent with the staff. Highly recommend.

We have seen our son A has grown so much over the last year since he joined at 11 months. As a review the last year...
Our son A is absolutely loving pre toddlers and when he arrives each morning for nursery we get a 'yay' in the car. The team at pre-tods are wonderful with A and have adapted the learning
based on what my son needs instead of basing it on what all the children need, as every little one is different. Thank you to A's amazing key worker.
There have naturally been challenges and I appreciate the management team and the Pre Tods leader, for replying to our concerns or wanting any help or just time to answer questions.
Nursery is a big trust for parents to leave their little ones there. We are so happy and can't thank you enough. Can't believe he moves to toddlers within the next months...

My little one has been attending here since just after he was 1 and is now 3 going on 4. I can not express the value for money at Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School.
Features I personally love:
Underfloor heating, floor to ceiling windows and doors, use of the Farm/Barn/Animals, use of the soft
play, parent app that gets used regularly, regular photo updates.
The food menu and the Chef, she works so hard and spends time with the kids too. If she's trying something new she will actually go to the rooms and see if the kids are liking it or not and if not find out why etc.
SENCO support in early stages, very good at spotting early signs of needing support in areas and taking appropriate actions that are supportive.
The management couldn't be more of a support system for anything and everything. Very open door policy for the office and you can ask anything and talk to anyone.
We are so happy here we registered my bump the second we knew we were expecting to ensure our second gets the same love and care.
