Farm View Day Nursery provides a calm and natural learning environment for all children to thrive. They know you want the best for your child. A place where your child is celebrated and recognised for their uniqueness. A safe space to play, explore and grow. A place where they laugh out loud every day.

Perfectly placed in the picturesque and peaceful countryside of Spencers Wood, the nursery is situated amongst natural green spaces that maximise outdoor learning. The team provide full-time care within a caring, secure and happy environment in which children can flourish socially, physically and emotionally.

The nursery is fully equipped with five age-appropriate rooms that offer care for children between the ages of 8 weeks to 5 years old. Each room is thoughtfully designed, and equipped with learning resources that encourage age-appropriate development and learning.

The loyal and highly experienced team provide a safe and stimulating environment where children can explore their interests, from arts and crafts to sensory play and phonics. Plus, with unrivalled natural outdoor space and farmland right on the doorstep, they can discover the wonders of nature too!

Conveniently located just 5 minutes from the A33 and M4, the setting makes it easy for busy parents to travel to and from the nursery. There are plenty of parking spaces too so pick up and drop off is really convenient and where you're not rushed out the door. It is most definitely worth the extra mile.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She has developed so much in the short amount of time she's been there and has built an amazing relationship with all the team in the Owlets room. It is evident that the team spend a lot of time nurturing and teaching her throughout the days she attends,
for which we as parents are forever grateful.

Our son attended this wonderful nursery for a year and a half. The staff are professional, warm, and kind. Thanks to the nurturing environment they created, our boy became more confident, independent, and made friends. We never worried about our child when he was at the Wise Owls. The rooms are new
after a recent refurbishment. The menu is balanced. There is plenty of learning, fun, and independent play. Even show and tell to practice speaking skills. Sad to say goodbye. Thank you the the staff and many others for everything you do.

I have had two children attend Farm View, my daughter from the age of 9 months up to preschool and my son from 15 months and also just finished preschool and I could not recommend it highly enough. The staff have been fantastic and consistent, and genuinely care about the children's individual interests
and personalities. The setting has been great, lots of time spent outside in the garden, as well as walks around the farm seeing the horses and fun activities every day. I have seen my children develop massively, making friends and learning meaning both have been ready to take the next steps to school. Our experience has been fantastic and cannot thank the staff enough.

Our little one has settled in so well at Farm View now and we're extremely happy we chose to send him here. He reaches his arms out to staff when he arrives in the morning now, and he has a big smile on his face when we come to pick him up too, he seems very content with his surroundings. The snapshots
and moments we get through on the app are personal to him, and we love to get these through when we're working in the week, it's so good to know he's enjoying his time learning and getting on well with everyone. The team are quick to respond with any queries we have and are so consistent in keeping us updated on anything we should be aware of too. We look forward to seeing what other new bits he gets taught over the next few months as he gets close to walking too. Thank you!

Our little girl has been at Wise Owls since March and we're really pleased with how well she's settled in and how much she enjoys going there.
She was nervous to start with but the team made her feel so comfortable and have been extremely caring with her. She now absolutely loves going in and has
lots of fun there. The regular updates are fantastic and keep you informed about everything they are getting up to so you don't feel like you are missing any developmental stages. Our little one loves her food and the menu at Wise Owls looks great, as well as being nutritious. The best thing about Wise Owls though has to be the team. They are all caring and friendly, providing updates at the end of the day as to all the fun they have had.
We can't recommend Wise Owls highly enough. It's a fantastic nursery!

Thank you for the glowing recommendation and your lovely comments about the team at Farm View. It is our pleasure to support and nurture your daughter's development and happiness at Wise Owls.

Our son started in January 2024. I was naturally apprehensive, but can honestly say this was short-lived. Within a matter of weeks, he had settled in, despite only attending 2 days per week, and has developed a clear bond with the staff and other children. He has learnt new skills since starting and
can't wait to get back through the door. The staff welcome him with open arms and give a full debrief on collection - he blows kisses to them all as he leaves. I cannot wait to see what the coming months bring - seeing him grow and knowing he is in such a safe and nurturing environment is so important. Cannot recommend highly enough!

My daughter loves it here, the staff are so lovely and I love the family-friendly feel. They're extremely flexible with my ad hoc requests and the handover at the end of the day along with the online diary is brilliant! I can hand on heart say I will be so sad when I don’t have a little one there anymore,
even get sad when she moves up out of a room into a new one. The team are such an important part of her childhood, creating memories that we’ll share as a family for years to come. Highly recommended.

We absolutely love Farm View! When starting over a year ago my little girl was hesitant and clingy at best. Over the last year the staff have been warm and welcoming. They show a true interest in every little person in the setting and this doesn’t change between the rooms. We have great communication
from the team and now my daughter runs to nursery and has built some amazing friendships. The team are always ready to listen to our extracurricular activities and encourage the children’s interest. Dance parties all around! Thank you everyone for your continued love, support and encouragement. My daughter is thriving and comes home telling everyone about her day and how much fun she’s had.

Was left very disappointed by the quality of care of Wise Owls. Looked like a promising setting with a beautiful countryside homely environment but the staff let it down entirely. My daughter never looked happy in the setting and the staff never seemed to even know my child or understand her interests
or knew much about her/how she had been during the day. No updates on how she was progressing, her key worker was not known for weeks when she first started until we asked and asked again. Complaints and feedback were made to the room leader and then the nursery manager which led to false promises which were not maintained. Pulled my child out because I could not comprehend sending my child to such an appalling setting. Worked in nurseries previously and I would not recommend.

Reply from Laura Hughes, Operations Director at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

We were genuinely sorry and surprised to receive your review. The well-being and happiness of every child in our care are our top priorities, and we regret to learn that we fell short of your expectations. Two months ago, your child departed from our nursery citing that the nursery was too far from home. At the time, our nursery manager reached out to you to offer support and assistance, and you did not raise any concerns or issues. We do wish you had informed us about your concerns, as we take all feedback very seriously and would have taken immediate action to address them. Our caring, dedicated and experienced team have been with the nursery for many years and are frequently highly praised in other reviews and feedback from parents. Regarding your child's key worker, when starting in our baby room, we do like to wait for children to settle in before assigning a key worker. This way, we can choose the key worker that the child naturally bonds with during this initial phase.

Our daughter started at the nursery in October in the baby room and we have felt thoroughly supported by all the team and staff as we transitioned into our new 'normal' as a family with work, childcare and our daughter settling in. The team have gone above and beyond to support our daughter with her
additional needs and fill us with confidence that our daughter is safe, nurtured, welcomed and cared for by the very best team when we drop her off. We can't wait to see her grow and develop at the nursery over the years to come!

I have 2 children at Farm View. My eldest is now in the preschool room and has thrived since starting there as a baby. He has made great friends and really grown and developed. He loves going in and has great relationships with his room leaders. My youngest is in the baby room and has always loved going
in. I have gotten to know a lot of the staff and love how they always say hi to the kids and clearly really care for them. There’s been a lot of improvements to the nursery over the last few years and it’s a really lovely environment for them to explore. I would highly recommend the nursery.

My son has been attending Nursery for 9 months now and absolutely loves it. Since the change in management Farm View has really changed for the better! The staff in the Owlets room are very caring, always super friendly at drop off and pick up, tell me how the day was, what activities they've been up
to and built a great relationship with my son. You can also find a lot of details like nappy changes, naps and meals on the App.


It's nice to know that my son has a safe space and is being encouraged to explore and supported by activities that help his development. The rooms are spacious, the outdoor spaces are also big and the nursery is in a quiet area. The neighbouring horses are a firm favourite!


The new Manager is also fantastic. Very approachable, happy to get feedback and can be found in the kid's rooms quite often. They all really seem to love what they do. Highly recommend it and will definitely try and get a spot for our second one here.

My child went for 5 weeks and It was a horrible experience.
No updates on the application.
No response from the team management.
My son started very happy and then was screaming not to go inside the room. When I asked the room manager and the Nursery manager they said will return back to me but
never got any response as usual.
We decided immediately to change the nursery.
I had many concerns but my child was happy, I raised that to the management but they never responded.
All promises at the beginning were never fulfilled.
I thought it would be helpful for any family to write my review.

We were so disappointed to receive this review. We have discussed this at length with you via email, by phone and in person. We immediately investigated your concerns and we believed that we had reached a mutual understanding and outcome with you. We also encouraged you to remain with the nursery so that we could demonstrate the exceptional care we provide to over 100 children. We feel that your review contains inaccurate comments which we discussed with you on the phone today. Your son attended our nursery part-time for 5 weeks and within this period we did not see any evidence of him being distressed. We wish your family all the best.

My daughter started here at 11 months old and has had such lovely and caring key workers throughout her nursery school journey. All of the staff are so friendly and professional. When they introduced an app this was great for us to see what our daughter was eating, when she was sleeping and what she
was doing/learning. Prior to the app the staff were great at letting us know this verbally at pick-up. Knowing that our daughter was being cared for by loving people made such a difference and I'm sad we've moved away and had to leave the nursery - I don't think we'll find such a nice nursery and setting again. Special thanks to the whole team our daughter was very fond of you all.

Wise Owls - Farm View is absolutely fantastic. My three-year-old son is so happy there and has been since he started in 2021. We don't ever worry about him, but instead, are reassured that whatever he is up to, he is happy and well looked after. He loves group time and always comes home singing songs
of the day or telling me all about the stories they have been reading and learning about or even that I'm not washing my hands correctly, and he shows me how they taught him at nursery! And it lasts 2 minutes! Even when I collect him later in the afternoon, towards closing time, there is a structured activity such as a parachute game or story, and I can hear the children laughing before I even get to the door. The staff are so very caring and fun for my child to be around, and he looks up to them and is inspired by them. He will be leaving shortly to go to a school preschool, but my two-year-old daughter will be taking his place. Thank you, Farm View.

My son has attended Farm View Day Nursery since February when he was 11 months old. I cannot express how happy we are with the nursery. The staff have been amazing since day one, and our son gets excited to see all his friends and the staff when we drop him off. You can absolutely tell that all of the
staff in Owlets know the children they are caring for really well and that they really want to make sure the children get the most out of their experience at nursery. My son has learned so much since joining.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.573)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.573) out of 10 for Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.573 for Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (18 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.573

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2017

I gained my Diploma in Childcare in 2008 and have worked in different settings with a variety of age groups, ever since. One of these was a Swiss nursery, which I found very interesting and a lot of fun. I have been a team member at Farm View since 2013 and enjoy working with the team and the children.
