We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our 14 month old. He started at 11 months, and we were apprehensive about the transition, as I am sure many parents are. However, the team at Fairlands Day Nursery have been fantastic with our little one, and with us! He absolutely loves his days at nursery and always seems to have done lots of fun activities. The staff are great at sharing these both on the app used, and at the end of each day. I would not hesitate to recommend Fairlands to any one, and cannot thank them enough for providing such a wonderful environment for the children.

Fairlands is an amazing place for your little ones to grow. From the outstanding facilities, outdoor space, range of activities, catering are second to none but what makes them really special are the staff. Everyone from management, room leaders and support staff are caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable and support your child to grow into a well-mannered young people. I feel my children are challenged to stretch their abilities but in a supportive environment allowing them to flourish. I could not think of a better place to trust to look after my children.

Really lovely nursery, had our daughter here since 11 months old and the staff are warm, supportive and welcoming. The activities they offer are lightly structured at her age group 1.5yo and really fun for her, with lots of outdoor play in their various fields/wood/yard. They provide active information via the app and also don't mind when you check in. The meals here are very good and varied and have had no issues catering to her allergies. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

My child started at Fairlands Day Nursery at around 7 months old. The staff focused on getting to know her and us, building positive relationships with her and helping her to have fun whilst at nursery. She settled quickly and was soon excited to see familiar staff open the door in the mornings. Nursery staff always have safeguarding in mind and use the app alongside phone calls to track any bumps or bruises, my little one learnt to walk over this period, so we had a few little falls that may have happened or that they have noticed. Staff managed our little one's dairy intolerance very well and supported us whilst we completed the dairy ladder with her. She has now moved up into The Hatchery and is 16 months old. Her transition was well planned and paced at her speed. We are so grateful to her Key Worker in The Nest for such a great start. We LOVE the outdoor space, Forest School trained practitioners and warm, kind and friendly approach of ALL staff. Highly recommended.

I cannot speak highly enough of Fairlands. They are absolutely fabulous. The staff are brilliant, not only at engaging with the kids but getting them interested in the world. Our son has come home knowing about trees, mushrooms and the seasons. He is happy and cared about. We had a safeguarding issue (nobody's fault!) and the safeguarding procedures were superb. I am a social worker and was so impressed with everything they did, and how they communicated. It is, genuinely, the best nursery we have had anything to do with, and I would recommend it to anyone!

My son joined Fairlands Day Nursery during the pandemic. Despite the difficult time all the staff made you feel welcome and put you at ease, everyone is friendly and kind. My son loves going to the nursery, he has already made strong friendships and he loves all the different and varied activities the staff do with him. I could not be happier with my choice of nursery. Big thank you to all of the girls in the nest and hatchery room for all their hard work and care, and to all the staff at Fairlands Day Nursery. Thank you for always being friendly and reassuring during a difficult time.

We couldn’t be more pleased with Barnkids Fairlands for our son. He joined at 11 months old and the nursery have been brilliant since day one. The communication is great - no question is too random (great as a first-time parent!) and they have gone above and beyond anything, we could have asked for in a nursery. The staff really are wonderful. We were lucky enough for our son to join just as the renovations were finishing. The baby room is perfect - an amazing selection of wooden toys, plenty of opportunity for open-ended play and lots of messy play too! One of our favourite things about Barnkids Fairlands is the outdoor space. The huge field is perfect for young children and I can’t wait for my son to explore the forest school area as he grows. We are looking at relocating about 30 minutes drive from the area towards the end of this year and have already decided we can’t find a nursery as good in our new area so he will be staying here until he starts school!
