My daughter attends this nursery and it's a lovely place. Love the fact that it's next door to a farm too and my daughter regularly visits with staff and her friends. She has settled in very well and the staff are very attentive and caring. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Excellent nursery which has been pivotal to our son's learning and development. He has come on leaps and bounds and is well socialised with other children. The only thing I would want to be improved upon is a more streamlined drop-off and pick-up process, especially drop-offs when parents have to get
to work. Also, the food chart isn't always updated but it's new so understand there may be teething problems. Apart from that, it's a great nursery.

We truly love Godstone Farm Day Nursery, our son has thrived in the outdoor/indoor nature-inspired setting. The farm on-site is a huge bonus and they visit every week. The staff are wonderful and supportive, we would highly recommend to any parent.

As a first-time mum, I was sceptical about sending my son to nursery but honestly had nothing to worry about. We have been welcomed as a family to the nursery, they have a great friendly atmosphere and the staff are amazing, it has been great to see our son flourish here and make friends. The trips
to the farm and various outdoor activities really set the nursery steps above others. He is constantly learning new things and is on a great pathway to starting school. His little sister will be joining soon!

My son has been attending the preschool since it opened and now is leaving for reception. He has had such a wonderful time here and it will be really missed. He has had such a lovely time visiting the farm daily, having fun in the huge garden and getting involved in all the fun activities provided.
The staff are so welcoming, friendly and so approachable. I definitely recommend this nursery. The communication is great! We look forward to sending our daughter next year!

Great all-round. My little one has made great progress and is very happy to run in at the beginning of the day. She has a great bond with many staff members and is well cared for in every respect. She has food allergies which was an initial concern of mine but I had no need to worry. The nursery has
great outdoor space and the direct access to the farm is amazing.

Lovely new nursery. A huge bonus for us is that they get to go to the farm multiple times per week and have a big garden to play in - far bigger than our son's previous nursery. Staff are always welcoming and our child is always very positive and talkative about his days here.

My son (10 months old) has been going to Godstone Farm Day Nursery for the last three months. Every time he comes home from nursery, he is in a great mood. Constantly updated via the app on what he does during the day. The nursery staff have been nothing short of amazing and would fully recommend!

My daughter started at Godstone Farm Day Nursery in March and she absolutely loves it.
She has spent a lot of time at home due to various reasons; Covid, her baby sister and me working from home, so I expected a few tears and upset. However, from day one, she has been so excited to get through the
door and I barely get a goodbye as she can’t wait to get in the toddler room and start her day.
The team are wonderful and what I love most is that although my daughter hasn’t been there long, I feel like they know her.
Development wise, I’ve already noticed big improvements. She’s talking more, understanding more and has even started sitting at the table to eat her food - something I struggled with getting her to do pre-starting at the nursery
My other daughter will hopefully be starting shortly and I can’t wait for her to have the same experiences and warmth that my first daughter has received so far.
Do not hesitate to book your child in - my only regret is not finding Godstone Farm Nursery sooner.

Our daughter (3-years-old) started at Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre School in January 2022. We live a 15-20 minute drive from the nursery so looked at three others prior to visiting Godstone including a school nursery, an “Outstanding” (Ofsted) nursery and a private school, all much nearer to us but
none of which compared. The uniqueness of the nursery is based on the farm and the fact the children get to visit the animals every day, the natural play resources and curriculum based on the Curiosity Approach and the deputy manager's professionalism and knowledge of Early Years were the main reasons we chose this nursery. Due to Covid restrictions, we have unfortunately not been able to see the nursery room in operation, however, the nursery seems very keen to build partnerships with parents and put on events such as inviting parents to stay for pancakes and putting on a family Easter event on a Saturday. We are very pleased we picked this nursery for our daughter and so glad we went to view it!

My child, who has just turned two years old, started Godstone Farm Day Nursery at the beginning of January this year and you would think she had been there for months and months.
The staff are so welcoming and warm that it’s meant my daughter has felt at home from the minute she walked in. Like any
parent, I was apprehensive, as she had attended a previous nursery in 2021 and up until Christmas. I was worried that it being somewhere new and unfamiliar would unsettle her but she has not been phased at all. The fact she gets to go to the farm every day is an absolute winner! The staff’s passion for the children's wellbeing shines through and the whole environment is a happy and healthy one - all a child and parent could wish for in a nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.930 for Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 4.938 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 18 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.938

  • 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.
