Barfield is an incredible nursery and school. They have done so many amazing things for our daughter with regard to her development. She has such lovely bonds with all the staff and other children. It’s a wonderful thing to see her go in so happily every day. They are so caring, creative, professional
and nurturing, and we particularly love how much time the children spend outdoors. We’re so happy we chose Barfield for our daughter.

Barfield School Nursery is an excellent all-round childcare provider. Our daughter is challenged, fulfilled, well cared for and thoroughly exhausted at the end of each day! In a very short period of time, her development has accelerated which is great to see. I would recommend Barfield School Nursery
to anyone looking for a provider in Farnham.

Barfield School Nursery is excellent. It is a very nurturing environment for the children and the teaching staff take special care to ensure that each child's needs are catered for. I particularly like the fact that the nursery is integrated into the main school meaning that they are able to mix with
other children and learn from them. The range of activities available is fantastic, swimming, music, forest school, cooking etc.

My daughter has developed so much in the few weeks since she started at Barfield School Nursery. Her language has improved immeasurably, she says "Please" and "Thank you" a lot more and generally seems very happy and stimulated. The range of activities is extremely varied, the food is well prepared
and the staff are lovely, professional and caring.

The nursery is truly outstanding. The facilities are exceptional and children have so many opportunities to play and experience a wealth of new things; forest school, PE, swimming, library, outings and much more!
The staff are professional but nurturing too! Your child is treated as an individual.
I could not recommend Barfield more.

My daughter adores the nursery at Barfield School. She loves the staff and really enjoys the activities on offer (especially swimming and cooking). She has had a lot of fun this term with the topic of families including making a beautifully decorated frame for a photo of us all.

During my daughter's last 12 months at Barfield she has developed into a polite little girl, her speech, writing and numbers as improved dramatically. The staff team are all amazing, the rooms are well equipped and along with the playing fields, forest and chickens and pool. They have a huge variety
of activities at their disposal. The wrap around care provides flexibility for parents. All this for the same cost as a normal stand alone nursery. Barfield Nursery is superb.

My 2 and a half-year-old daughter has recent started attending the nursery at Barfield School. Each day she returns home full of stories about her day! She receives a wonderful balance of learning and play and the nursery facilities are fantastic. I hope she continues with the same level of enthusiasm
through the school years.

-Every member of the nursery team knows me and my daughter well.
-The children take advantage of all of the school facilities, including the art and craft room, swimming pool, hall for games, woodland for forest schools and music room.
-They learn music and PE with qualified specialist teachers each
week.
- I get individual, detailed feedback on my daughter's progress and development, as well as her social interactions with others.
-The staff listen to my comments and queries and are all approachable and utterly reliable. There is also regular weekly email communication.
-I would recommend this nursery to all. Brilliant!

Our son really enjoys his time at nursery, the staff are very caring and encourage his development at every opportunity. The feedback from the staff about the day is very good and also the term and annual reports show just how much he has enjoyed his time at nursery. Our son's speech and vocabulary
have really developed. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Barfield School Nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.053)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.053) out of 10 for Barfield Prep School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Barfield Prep School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.053 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barfield Prep School is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.053

  • 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.
