An absolutely wonderful environment for my little girl. She is thriving and her confidence has increased so much because of the fabulous staff and unique environment. Management are top tier and willing to help with anything. Would highly recommend

We have both our kids at this nursery - one in the "top conker" pre-school yurt, and one just started in the babies yurt. We honestly couldn't be happier with everything. The outdoor setting is really amazing - the kids love being in the sandpit, on the field, sliding in the mud, etc. They come home smiling every day, and the oldest has been asking to go more frequently! The staff are what really make it, though. Genuinely every member of staff is amazing, from the manager and the management team through to every single person in every yurt. While it's obviously always difficult sending your baby off to nursery, we honestly haven't really worried at all about our youngest starting, because we're so confident in how brilliant everyone is. And she has settled beautifully! We recommend Farley to all our pregnant friends and family, we honestly couldn't recommend it more highly.

Our children have thrived here. Enjoying the unique outdoor environment whilst also getting the specialist knowledge from the nursery workers. The way that the syllabus is incorporated into the outside learning environment is really great and lets our children be children.

We couldn’t recommend Farley, Sparsholt Outdoor Nursery School highly enough! Our daughter is absolutely thriving there and very happy. We’re always impressed with all the staff and the creative activities they do with the children. It’s such a unique environment, we feel so lucky! We’ve already put our second child’s name down, even though they are still a few months away from being born.

Farley Nursery School Sparsholt what can I say. The staff are so enthusiastic and welcoming. Being faced with the horrendous British weather on a daily basis getting wet and cold alongside the children, they are always still smiling at the end of every day. The love, care, kindness and cuddles they provide to the little ones more often than not go beyond what they are paid for. Farley really is one big happy family and the thought of our Farley experience coming to an end and embarking on the school journey with my youngest is sad but I know she has had the best experience and preparation for school. A huge shout-out to 6 of the staff members. These individuals have really made our journey extra special over the 7 years we have been at Farley and we will more than miss you all. You are a fab team and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful unique nursery for our little people.

My daughter has recently started at Farley and as a first-time mum the prospect of putting her into nursery was rather daunting, however, she has settled in so well and the staff were so diligent at taking time to update me on her day and clearly care for her so well. I see pictures of her happy and smiling and when I pick her up and drop her off she's clearly having a fantastic experience. I can see her confidence growing and little friendships forming. Not only can I see how much she loves her days there, but all the children always appear to be having so much fun and loving the outdoors. It's so refreshing to see.

We have loved our experience with Farley nursery at Sparsholt. My partner's little girl had 3 wonderful years with them and she still talks about her fabulous experiences daily! We now have our youngest there and she goes in with a smile and leaves with one- we love the photo updates to see how she is enjoying her day and she genuinely has developed a love for the outdoors .. and she comes home pooped and ready for bed (its a win all round!). Each and every staff member is caring, patient and so kind and I have full faith that our girl is being looked after brilliantly. We love it!

Farley is a wonderful caring Nursery, the staff are wonderful, the facilities are excellent and they're extremely flexible to the individual needs of your child. If you want your child to spend more time outside being at one with the world, this is the place for you!

Both of our children attend Farley, Sparsholt and absolutely love it. We moved them from another nursery at the end of last year and haven't looked back. The staff are exceptional - caring, engaging and enthusiastic. The outdoor learning environment is fantastic and the opportunities and activities available are just brilliant! Could not be happier that our children go here.

Both of our sons have luckily attended Farley over the years and our youngest is now in his last year within the Top Conker Room having worked his way up through all 3 Yurts. The team Farley are exceptional in all they do. They always do the best for the children and both children and staff are always happy and always beaming a smile no matter what the British weather throws. The team have really supported us and been really flexible in everything that they do. The staff, who are all fabulous Farley family helped developed our boys into confident, independent, caring young individuals with great friends which is an absolute joy to watch. If I could sum up Farley and what they do in one world it would be exceptional. Well done all involved. We are so grateful to each and everyone involved. And the Cheese and Wine parent's evenings are great fun too.

Farley Sparsholt is the perfect nursery for our energy-filled, inquisitive nearly 2 year old. Starting forest nursery at 11months old, before he could walk, was questioned by some friends, but the staff made him so welcome from the word go and activities are always age/ ability appropriate. From the start he has gone in in the morning happily, he now trots in and barely looks back and when I collect him after a full day at 6pm he wants to keep on playing. Staff always have a smile on their face and it's unusual to hear or see kids upset when you enter the yard at the end of the day. No matter the weather, they seem to have a great time and have the ability to spend plenty of time outside whilst never getting too cold. I am amazed on a regular basis by the creative things they get upto. I feel so lucky that we managed to get a space there, what a way to start out as a child! I often wish I could stay and play as opposed to heading off to work!

My toddlers have been at Farley since September 2022 and I have to say it is the best thing they do all week. They enjoy every second, so much so that one sometimes doesn't want to leave at the end of the day!! They get to do so many fun and messy things and are looked after so incredibly well. They love the staff there and sometimes even run and hug them when we arrive in the morning! They both love animals so all the trips to the farm etc at the college is just wonderful. They always look for 'horsies' in the field when they arrive and just can't wait to get stuck in to the fun each day. I am so glad we chose Farley, we have never looked back!

Farley nursery has a wonderful caring staff that genuinely seems to enjoy looking after the children and creating fun and stimulating learning environments. They take the time to get to know your child as an individual and you always feel like they are in safe hands. They've really helped my boy to eat more adventurously and the pack mentality helps! Keep up the good work.

5 star nursery! My son attends 4 days a week, and loves 'Farley days'. He is always greeted with a jolly, bubbly welcome at the gates and is always happy to go in, skipping in with a smile on his face. I hear about all sorts of exciting activities, games and fun they have throughout the day at pick up, where staff give a happy and thorough overview of the day. Pictures are updated to EY log and Instagram regularly so we get to see snippets of their day too. He has made some great friends and is thriving in the wonderful, engaging and nurturing environment they provide. The 'mum guilt' of work is alleviated knowing he has such great fun days in such good care. The stacks of muddy washing speak volumes for the amount of outdoor fun that is had!

The team at Sparsholt are fantastic and offer a great care to my son. The activities they do and the fun they evoke are absolutely first class. The food provided give lady great variety and has helped expand the food that our son now eats

One of the best decisions we have made for our son is to have him attend Farley Sparsholt Nursery. He absolutely loves his days there, filled with exploring, outdoor play and lots of learning. The team are the absolute best; smiley, positive, flexible and so engaging with the children. Thank you for looking after our soon so well!

We have been with Farley Nursery at Sparsholt for 4 years and in that time have had the most wonderful experience. The staff are so dedicated and caring and fully embrace the outdoor learning mentality (they deserve 10 stars!!). Our children love attending and we love seeing them thrive in the setting. Some of the highlights are the nativity in the barn and sports day, but the day to day activities and experiences are also so valuable and we are lucky that our children have had the chance of such a special start to their education. The addition of cooked meals has just topped the already great experience.

Farley is the most magical place for children - I wish I had been able to go to a nursery like Farley when I was little. The ethos and values they stand by align to us as a family. Both my son and daughter have been so happy there since the day they started. The staff are caring and so fun for the children. If you are looking for a nursery that supports and develops your child with freedom and kindness, Farley is outstanding.

Both of my children attended Farley Nursery from the age of one up until starting school, and they loved every day there. The largely outdoor setting was perfect for them - it captured their imagination and enthusiasm and allowed them to expend their endless energy and develop their physical abilities to a high level. The staff are always attentive, caring and great fun. Farley had two managers over the time my children were there, and they are both still loved by my kids. They are very dedicated, great team leaders, very supportive and keep the team enthusiastic, even on the rainiest days! Farley also benefits from its location - trips to see the cows being milked, lambing in Spring, and the Christmas Nativity held in one of the College farm barns with real donkeys add to the wonderful times the children have there. I’m so glad my children went to Farley!

A fantastic nursery where my daughter has been supported and guided by the wonderful staff. Farley at Sparsholt was always where we wanted our daughter to go, as her cousin had previously attended. In particular, their care of the children, and staff, throughout the Covid pandemic has been exceptional. My daughter has made wonderful friends, is independent, kind and caring. It’s a joy to drop her to Farley, knowing she is so well cared for whilst I am at work.
