Part of the Farm Day Nurseries group, their Day Nursery & Pre-School embraces nature-based play. Children from 6 weeks old up to 5 years of age have access to a number of stimulating environments, freshly prepared healthy meals and structured early years learning with an emphasis on play. The team follow the ethos of doing what is best for the children and they truly are at the heart of everything the team do at Adventure Farm Day Nursery.

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.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she was 10 months old and I wouldn't want her to go anywhere else. All of the staff have always been super attentive and understanding and my daughter has flourished there. I feel as though they all know her really well and I am updated constantly on
her progress. I also think having the connection to the farm has provided extra opportunities that you won't find elsewhere. The best nursery is Burton by far! Thank you to all the amazing staff!

Such an amazing nursery, my son absolutely adores coming here, and all the staff are great and very attentive. My son struggled with leaving me when he first started and for a few months later and they made sure they did everything they could to make him feel safe and comfortable and now he never wants

Incredible nursery. Exceptional facilities and staff.

My daughter always happily skips into nursery every day, she enjoys the vast amount of activities they do with her too. Their menu and food choices are brilliant, and she eats everything happily - the nursery is great with my daughter's food intolerance also. When I collect her, she is still smiling
and cannot wait to tell me about her day.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The nursery has been really brilliant with us! My daughter did struggle to settle at the nursery initially and would be very upset. The nursery has worked well with us to help her settle in both the baby room and pre-toddlers room and she now thoroughly enjoys nursery, which helps the mum guilt! They
actively respond to what the children like and adapt to the room and activities. For example, my daughter loves caring for the baby dolls and sitting in enclosed spaces. The nursery has regularly created activities for her to care for the babies (like washing them) and has made areas in the room for her to crawl into like a den.
When she first moved into pre-toddlers, I do feel like there was a period of time where things had to settle (staff changes etc.) and I voiced that I felt like I wasn't being kept informed well enough. The nursery took this on board and I noticed the handovers significantly improved and the app is always updated. We absolutely love Adventure Farm Day Nursery!

We love this nursery for our kids!
My son started going when it first opened, he first joined the pre-toddler room and he’s now in pre-school ready to start big school in September!
My daughter then came along and she started in the baby room, and now she’s in the pre-toddler room. My son is quite
shy and he struggles a bit with change and has always been a little nervous going into the setting but he’s come on so well and he had such an amazing relationship with the staff and it’s so nice to know the staff love him too! I always feel so comfortable handing him over. My daughter just absolutely loves it, she runs in and doesn’t even look back.
The staff in the rooms are so lovely, they give a very good handover every day too. Their meal choices are fab, they even get involved with celebration events such as Chinese New Year, Valentines etc and they do everything so beautifully with them. The farm trips and soft play are such a bonus to the setting, I just love everything about the nursery!

My daughter has been attending the Adventure Farm Day Nursery since she was 13 months old. She is now 3.5 years old and she loves going to nursery. All you can ask as a parent. She loves the daily trips to the farm, eats all her delicious foods, attends soft play and the other features available on
the farm, she even watches a lamb being born today, not what you get from a standard nursery. Her learning is really coming along with her starting school in September, and she continues to flourish there. A massive thank you to the girls for looking after her, and she really is going to miss everyone.

My daughter has attended the Adventure Farm Day Nursery since September 2022, starting in the baby room and now she is with the toddlers. My daughter really loves attending the nursery; playing with her friends, visiting the farm and adventures at the soft play. I love how the nursery offers the addition
of the farm and soft play.
My daughter's education/development has always been a great focus of her time in the nursery. She has developed a very good understanding of numbers, shapes, objects and very good language skills. Adventure Farm Day Nursery offers a variety of activities throughout the day including playing with water, playing outside or reading, to name a few. I am confident that her development has advanced due to the care she has been provided with at Adventure Farm Day Nursery.
All the staff are so approachable and friendly, both in person and during their swift correspondence via email. My daughter has developed a great relationship with the workers in each room and is confident every day when she goes into nursery.

This is a great setting, our daughter has been here since she was 10 months old and moved through from babies to pre-toddlers and is now in the toddler room. We couldn’t be happier with the care and development at this nursery, the staff have always been so kind, friendly and professional. Being able
to go to the farm has been an amazing part of our daughter's time here, seeing all the animals, especially the piglets and Guinea pigs. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they have also catered for any allergies really well.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.964 for Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (324 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Adventure Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 28 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, which has been reached with 28 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.
