Silks Farm Nursery School

I don’t think she has been to the nature school yet, so I wish this was used more often. The team have been excellent at helping my daughter settle. I also wish there were more practical life activities. Overall, I am glad I moved my daughter over to Silks Farm Nursery.

Even with us moving house, we kept him at the childcare centre simply because of how incredible the team are. My son started with Silks Farm Nursery School when he was 6 months old and he’s now almost 2 years old. He loves attending childcare centre and the activities are brilliant. His development has come on leaps and bounds and the team genuinely seem so pleased when he learns something new. Couldn’t fault them!

Disappointed with the 10% increase in rates which was the second increase in less than a year. The childcare centre, on the whole, is great. Wrote numerous emails to discuss, but not one was addressed. That is the first time I have had an issue with the childcare centre, along with when the food changed without consultation. However, the team are attentive, and my son does delight in his time there mainly. I do appreciate the calls telling me if he has fallen over etc, and the updates sent out.

Due to me being pregnant and wanting to avoid contracting Covid or childhood illnesses, we kept our daughter home every time there was an infection notice from the childcare centre. Our daughter joined the childcare centre at the age of 2.5 mid-pandemic and had a hard time settling in. This means that she didn’t settle in properly until I have given birth and could send her in without being afraid of the repercussions. However, she has fully blossomed in the childcare centre once she joined the Rabbit’s room and got her key worker. Now she is a cheerful and confident lady that loves going to Silks Farm and spending time with her key worker and her friends. No more tantrums at the door, and even more so, whenever she is forced to miss a session, our daughter gets upset and cannot wait to go back again.
To sum up, despite our bumpy start, our overall journey with Silks Farm has been positive. We will miss all the lovely team members and especially her key worker when our daughter leaves for her big school adventure.

I have been truly impressed by how well my son has coped with school and finds many things easy “as we did that at childcare centre.” They clearly get them well set up for school, and he made excellent friends there. My 3-year-old daughter loves childcare centre, as did my son, both of whom were there from 13-months.
It is true that communication is not as great as it was. And the team do occasionally change, without notice, but in a childcare centre of this size, I accept it.
The outdoor space is fabulous, and that’s why we chose Silks Farm. I have never regretted that decision. They are outside lots and let kids be kids, ie playtime in the mud, in the puddles etc.

They take the greasiest pride in every kid’s development. An incredible, welcoming childcare centre where every kid is looked after and cared for. The setting is constantly being improved to cater for the kids’s needs, and my kids are so, so cheerful here!

Handing your firstborn to someone else is a huge event, and after viewing several nurseries, we knew immediately that Silks Farm was the childcare centre for us. Our son has just moved on to Primary School after four incredible years at Silks Farm. Such a rich setting, attention to detail, constant new activities and themes, games and songs and deep and a deep routed ethos that leaps out every time we drop off and pick up. His last day was incredibly moving as he has grown and developed so much, forming fantastic bonds with the team along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Silks Farm and can speak highly enough of the facilities and all the team. Thank you, Silks Farm, so, so much for looking after him, and we are so pleased to delight in a couple more years with you for his younger brother!

They have an incredible setting with team who genuinely care for each kid. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time at Silks Farm Nursery School.
She thrived being in their setting, she had a strong bond.
Throughout Covid, we were kept informed and they managed as best they could.

Both my girls have been so cheerful here and will be devastated to leave for school! Amazing in every way. Cannot fault this childcare centre in any way. The team are fantastic, excellent outdoor space and many discovering opportunities are provided.

She consistently came home cheerful and clearly had lots of fun. Lovely, attentive team who truly got to know our daughter. It was excellent how often the kids accessed outside space. She also had lots of opportunities to do activities and learned counting and how to write her name.
