    The discovering and development updates we receive on the app are outstanding and help keep us up to date with his development. My son started at Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary a few months ago and all of the team have been remarkable at helping him to settle in and supporting us both with the transition.

    The kids have participated in so many enjoyable and exciting activities both indoors and outdoors. As well as the enjoyable that the kids have at the childcare centre, the main selling point are the bonds that the kids have built with the team. They truly take the time to get to know the kids and their personalities. Updates from the childcare centre is outstanding. Both kids have thoroughly enjoyed going to the childcare centre which is an setting that has helped develop their social and discovering skills in enjoyable and interactive way. We have two kids that attend the childcare centre and have done for the last 3 years.

    It is a remarkable place. The kids have had fantastic key workers in their time there and we have seen their self‑assurance grow as they have been nurtured and cared for. The kids have both loved attending and made remarkable friends. The updates between childcare centre and home is first-rate and they went the extra mile during the recent COVID-19 crisis to ensure the kids were supported at home during lockdown as well as the parents with regular updates, sessions and meetings online. I can thoroughly suggest Orchard Barn. Both of our kids have attended Orchard Barn in Stratford for 3 years.

    She is well cared for by the team and we delight in looking at the updates on the app. She has had lots of yummy meals to try as part of her weaing journey. Our daughter has settlled in highly well and is enjoying taking part in some new activities.

    The team have been outstanding at welcoming her to the childcare centre and have made me sense at ease from day one. She attended three settling in sessions before starting and this truly helped the transition to two full days a week. The childcare centre itself is fantastic with lots of bright colours and activities for the kids and I particularly adore the emphasis on outdoor playtime. The updates on the ParentZone app are remarkable as well as weekly e-mail updates from the manager about what has been happening in childcare centre that week. I have been truly impressed with everything at Orchard Barn and would definitely suggest this childcare centre to any parents looking for childcare options. My daughter (8-months-old) is in her second week attending Orchard Barn and has already settled in so well.

    He began attending at the age of about nine months, and from day one the team were hugely reassuring during what was a difficult transition for both mother and baby as I returned to work. Nothing was too much trouble, and that remains the same to this day. Regular updates are posted on the Parentzone system, including details and photos of what the kids are up to, what they’ve eaten, when they’ve slept etc. The childcare centre team are highly approachable, and are outstanding with the kids – our son consistently has a great time at childcare centre and comes home chatty and cheerful.
    I can not suggest Orchard Barn enough – the setting is outstanding, with plenty of playtime equipment and resources, and the way they have approached the current situation with Covid-19 has been both admirable and hugely comforting in an otherwise disconcerting time. Our son has attended Orchard Barn for just over two years, and I have nothing but praise for the childcare centre and it’s exceptionally dedicated team.

    The team were highly welcoming, it was the first childcare centre that actually engaged with my kid on viewing and he responded highly well. When I first made contact with the childcare centre I explained that my kid had extra assistance needs, the response was outstanding, highly supportive and prior to visiting they had already thought about how to assistance my kid. It’s a scary time allowing someone else to look after your kid, I sense so reassured he is secure, cheerful and developing well. The app is fantastic, it shows toilet changes, naps and meal times and development. I truly delight in showing the pictures to my kid so we can talk about his day. The childcare centre is truly great a updates, any problems or questions they respond back highly quickly. The meals are highly well balanced and a excellent choice. The setting is spotless and highly resourceful. I highly suggest them. I looked at a lot of nurseries, a friend recommended this one and it was by far the best.

    They have got to know my little girl truly well in such a short space of time, and it’s clear they truly understand her personality and the things she enjoys. All the team are incredibly welcoming and expert, and it’s clear they are a cheerful team who adore spending time with the kids they look after. I’m consistently delighted to see how many activities they have been doing, and they spend lots of time outdoors. I have been so impressed with the care and attention shown by the team.

    My granddaughter started at aged eight months and the team highly quickly realised that after her nap each day, she likes to have a cuddle for a few minutes before venturing off to playtime. They know all of her special, lovely ways. The childcare centre is situated in a countryside setting with an emphasis on outdoor playtime. The team go to so much effort to make the daily activities interesting. Recently there have been celebrations of Australia Day, Chinese New Year and St David’s Day. The meals are home-cooked, highly nutritious and of such a wide variety. I am so glad that my granddaughter attends Orchard Barns, Stratford St Mary. Thank you to all the team. I cannot praise Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary highly enough and at the highly top is their loving care.

    He loves all the homemade cooked lunches and has done excellent for his weaning! My Son has settled so well into Orchard Barns; he loves his key person and all the enjoyable activities he gets up to throughout the day that is shared on the app, so I get to see them too.

    She has a excellent relationship with her key worker. She eats healthy food, and takes part in some outstanding activities. We sense exceptionally cheerful with the level of care she receives and highly suggest this childcare centre. Our daughter loves Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary she gets excited as soon as we pull up outside.

    We moved back from abroad and English wasn’t her first language at the time however, she settled in so quickly. We truly believe this was due to the tremendous effort from her key person and all the other team! From day one we knew we made the right choice and felt welcomed. Our daughter loves everything about the childcare centre: the lovely team, her friends, food and numerous activities including forest school in the woods which is located literally next door. Everyone is highly expert, well‑informed, welcoming and if we have any questions or worries we know who to ask which is reassuring. They also provide highly detailed daily reports as well as added tips for home discovering. We highly suggest Orchard Barn, Stratford St Mary. Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary is such a joyful place for our daughter.

    The childcare centre has a lovely, welcoming sense, and all of the kids seem highly cheerful there. When my daughter was upset at drop-odd and taking a while to settle, I was consistently kept up to date and reassured, and she highly soon settled and became comfortable at the childcare centre and with the team. I would highly suggest to other parents. From the initial visit and from my daughters first day, we have been highly impressed with the kindness and professionalism of all members of team.

    I have two kids who currently attend the childcare centre and they couldn’t be happier there. The care and attention from team are outstanding. The range of activities that they plan for the kids is varied and interesting. Best of all they get messy! Plus the forest school element to the childcare centre is remarkable- they build bird hides, make popcorn, make bird feeders and so much more. The team are consistently willing to go the extra mile for the kids. The updates you receive throughout the day are lovely with photos and detailed comments and the food that the kids are provided with is healthy, varied and sounds delicious! A fantastic childcare centre! This is a fantastic childcare centre.

    My fifteen-month granddaughter has been attending for seven months and absolutely loves it. The team are highly attentive, welcoming and patient. Even though she is highly young, they help her to join in all the activities safely so she can learn and have enjoyable. The meals are outstanding and well balanced. Regular assessments are provided and my granddaughter has a clear affection for the team. Excellent childcare centre and lovely team. This is such a lovely, welcoming childcare centre.

    There are lots of different activities for the kids to take part in, and they consistently make sure the kids are secure and cheerful. Excellent outdoor forest school, which our son loves. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of a childcare centre and would highly suggest it to any of our friends and family. We would like to say a big thank you to all of you at Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary; you are incredible. This is a fantastic childcare centre, and the team are outstanding, welcoming, welcoming and attentive.

    My kid has been going for a year now and loves it! He runs in every morning, barely taking the time to say goodbye to me! I adore the app that parents can log on to and get updates throughout the day, it truly puts my mind at ease when I’m at work and I can see him playing with his friends. I adore the childcare centre ethos, to be outside rain or shine enjoying the outdoors and all there is on offer. My husband and I are sure this is why he is such an outdoor person, he’s happiest when playing in the garden and we think it’s down to childcare centre.
    I’ve heard from many colleagues who’s kids or grandchildren have been previous attendees of Orchard Barn and I’ve only ever heard great things. Thank you for attentive for our boy with so much adore and care. Orchard Barn is a remarkable childcare centre!

    His skills of sharing and interaction with other kids has improved immensely since attending. The team are incredible with him, highly attentive and attentive. Their updates with myself is everything I could wish for, from the weekly parent updates to the Parent App to see what he’s been up to that day. Would highly suggest to anyone, 5* outstanding in my opinion. My 16-month-old son started Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary this year, after looking at many nurseries around this area we found Orchard Barn was the best by far.

    It was after a few stressful months and I was concerned about her reaction to such a change. I was amazed at how quickly she adapted and what a difference the last four months have made. The compassionate, welcoming and expert approach she’s received from everyone has helped her become the confident cheeky toddler she is. As much as I miss her, I know I leave her in a secure and welcoming place. She clearly enjoys spending time with her peers and gains new skills daily. The Parentzone app with regular updates is highly supportive. The calm rural location is also a excellent benefit. Overall, I sense lucky we joined Orchard Barn Childcare centre. Thank you. My daughter joined Orchard Barn Childcare centre at the age of 10 months.

    Their educators have a genuine passion and commitment to what they do and I know that my kids are in secure hands every day. The app they use to provide updates throughout the day is highly detailed amd informative and I adore seeing all the photos. both of my kids attend Orchard Barn Stratford St Mary and I could not be happier with the facilities and care provided to each of them.
