October 18, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son started at the nursery this week and the girls have made me feel so at ease. The care and attention my son receives is excellent. He loves it so much and is sad to leave. Communication from the staff is excellent and I am kept up to date with his progress. From the moment I first called the nursery the staff have been so helpful and I am so so happy and content leaving my son in their care. I highly recommend Nappies and Paddies.

January 21, 2021 at 12:00 amWhen I was looking for a nursery for my daughter, I viewed nearly every nursery in Brentwood. I left all of them feeling unsure until I visited Nappies and Paddies. From the moment I stepped in there, I was practically begging them to give my daughter a place. She’s now been there almost 2 years attending 4 days a week and she is happier than I could ever have imagined. They are always flexible and constantly improving/adding more things for the kids to learn and do. My daughter isn’t 3 yet and she came home yesterday counting to 5 in Spanish. The staff are always warm, friendly and helpful and I truly feel like my daughter finds it a home from home. I also love that the communications and development are all recorded handwritten to keep and show her in the future and so my daughter doesn’t have an Ipad or phone in her face all day. This nursery holds a special place in my heart for how happy they have made my daughter and I look forward to sending my impending new arrival there next year.

March 4, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth our children have attended/now attend Nappies and Paddies nursery and I am so pleased we made the decision to send them there. We viewed other nurseries too but we just got the sense of ‘home from home’ with this one and knew as soon as we walked around on our show around that this is where wanted to send our children. We were given some settling sessions too which was great as we were able to meet the room staff and could see them happily playing. The management and staff are all very friendly and approachable and it’s clear to see they are a fabulous team!
We are very impressed with what our children have been learning here and how they have grown and developed with the help of Nappies and Paddies!
Thank you so much.

March 8, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Nappies and Paddies since she was eleven months old and will be ‘graduating’ later this year. I cannot put it into words properly and do the team justice, of just how highly we think of this nursery. My four year old came home last week and sung the months of the year, the colours in Spanish, showed me the meteor she made and excitedly told me about her ‘teachers’ taking them sledging in the snow. All within a pandemic too. The love, care and attention everyone shows here are so unique to this wonderful nursery ‘village’. I am beyond grateful to the team who are both professionals and the warmest people you could entrust your children to, outside of your own family. I don’t believe there is any better nursery.

March 24, 2021 at 12:00 amNappies and Paddies is a wonderful nursery, set on an old farm. My little girl 3 and little boy 1 are eager to attend every session. The staff are friendly, welcoming and very approachable. Settling my two children each came with a very different requirement and Nappies and Paddies adapted to each of their needs. I love that my children spend lots of time outside and are taken on long walks across the old farmland, to learn about nature. Every session is filled with fun, encouraging, learning activities. I am very happy with this nursery and can’t recommend enough!

April 10, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter is always excited to go to Nappies and Paddies. The staff are warm, welcoming and extremely professional. I have noticed a massive development in our daughter since starting here. It is a lovely setting in an old farm with gorgeous surroundings, which is what drew us to it in the beginning. A decision that we have not regretted for a second. Fantastic!

July 14, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Nappies and Paddies for nearly 3 years and my son for nearly 1 year, and they both love nursery so much. The staff are so engaged and caring with the children, and there is such a variety of activities for the children. The setting of the nursery is wonderful and the children get to spend lots of time outside. Recently the nursery has invested in two new outdoor areas for the children, which has really enhanced the days for them and my daughter is always excited to tell me which garden they were playing in.

March 23, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my daughter and son go to Nappies and Paddies. They love it here! They love all the staff and have so much fun. It’s so nice to have somewhere that I can trust to look after my children while I go to work and not have to worry.

March 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going to Nappies & Paddies since October 2021, he loves every minute of it and as soon as I walked in I knew it was the one. The staff are so lovely and welcoming and caring for your little one which is everything you want in a nursery. They always take care in telling you what your little one got up to at the end of each day which I find very informative. They also take steps in their learning journeys and encourage you to help along at home to develop your child’s needs. I feel at ease every day knowing my little boy is having so much fun, they are outside every day which is what all children love and always painting and doing messy play. I thoroughly recommend Nappies & Paddies to anyone, I can’t recommend their service enough.

April 4, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to nappies and paddies since he was 2 years old. He has excelled so much. He is above where he needs to be in his academia. The staff are amazing. They are still able to maintain a personal touch with all the children. They have lovely meals cooked on-site for them. Plenty of outdoor play. I honestly could not recommend them enough. I’m confident that when my son has to start school he will be more than ready.

April 6, 2022 at 12:00 amWe are very happy with Nappies and Paddies. Since our daughter started, she loves going there every day. The staff is very supportive and attentive, with an individual approach to every child. They inspire creativeness in children. Turnover is very low, which I’m very pleased with. Also, we are happy with the big outdoor area and walks to the fields. Great nursery!

February 13, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are so glad that we chose Forest Barn for our son. He has attended since he was 9 months old and has built such lovely relationships with the staff.
I like the home-from-home feel that this nursery brings. I feel fully comfortable leaving him (now 22 months) in their care. All of the staff know all of the children and take a genuine interest in their lives. I love receiving daily updates on the app on how my son is progressing and being asked to attend stay and play sessions.

February 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot fault this nursery at all, I have one little boy who loved his time there and my youngest is now there and loving his time. The attention to care and personal touches make this such a nice environment for a parent to feel at ease with leaving their children.

February 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Forest Barn Nursery School since September 2022. Staff are warm, friendly and care about the children. They are very open with parents and always try to accommodate each child’s individual needs rather than enforce certain schedules etc. I feel confident leaving my son in their care and have been very happy with them so far. We love the outdoor spaces they have created for the children, which offer lots of opportunities to play and learn.

March 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son joined Forest Barn Nursery School in January – I’ve seen him thrive every week since. The staff take so much care with him and I can tell with all the small things like he has his clothes changed when they get grubby and they make sure he’s had his naps on time. He waves at the girls when he goes home and blows a little kiss too so it’s clear he has formed attachments with them and this means everything to a parent leaving their child at nursery. We feel so happy that we found such a fantastic nursery for our little boy.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son is so happy here. He is always learning new things and is developing really well – I know the staff have put a lot of effort into him.
Teachers/management are very good at communicating with us and the overall standard in terms of cleanliness, keeping track of clothes and keeping up to date with what we’re learning at home is really high. There always seems to be fun and activities on and our son comes home happy every day.

June 15, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended Forest Barn, and one is currently still there (previously under a different name). I cannot thank the management and staff enough for the care they provide and all the different activities my children participate in. They have monthly themes and are always learning something new. The outdoor facilities are outstanding and one of the reasons I choose this nursery, it’s lovely for the children to be outside in all weathers. Cannot recommend it here enough.

July 3, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little boy is excited to attend nursery everyday, he has great connections with the staff and is always smiling when we collect him. He is always involved in fun messy play activities, the outside space has lots of toys, and the menu is varied and tasty. Couldn’t fault Forest Barn Nursery.
