November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amAll the staff are lovely and always helpful. Will do their best for all the children and will always tell you what has happened in the day of being at nursery. I have told my friend about the nursery, and it has even got a farm next door to make it so much more fun for the kids. I would be lost without the nursery. So happy with everything.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amI have two kids at Mead Open Farm Day Nursery, and they both absolutely love it. Lots of outdoor play and trips to the farm. The staff are amazing and have formed great bonds with the kids. The nursery also responded so professionally to the challenges to Covid and the kids settled back quickly – we can’t fault them.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amAll staff are extremely helpful, and I am always happy to leave my son in the kind and caring hands of such capable and professional people. My son really enjoys nursery and has the opportunity to complete lots of wonderful activities that I probably wouldn’t do at home. Access to the farm and its faculties is a huge added bonus!

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amWe decided to look at this nursery because of the outdoor space and the trips to the farm. When we visited, the staff were so welcoming, professional and really put us at ease, and we could imagine sending our little one here and nowhere else. Our little one loves coming here, and the staff really know her well. I am always so impressed with the level of care and handovers received. I have recommended this nursery to a few friends already. The food is great, the purpose-built buildings are great with loads of space for activities, and the outdoor space is great as well. The children go to the farm often, and our little one has really progressed well here. We are really happy and couldn’t imagine her going anywhere else!

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter absolutely loves going to nursery (pre-school). She says every morning that she is excited when we are queueing up, and she sees her friends waiting in the line. She always tells me about her day when I pick her up, and she has a lot to say each time, so I know she has had an amazing day.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have 2 children currently attending the nursery, and they both started when they were respectively 10 months old. Our eldest has now been attending for over 3 years and very much enjoys his time at the nursery. We have seen him grow into a thoughtful, caring and sensitive child, and this has been nurtured by the wonderful staff at the setting. Due to start school in September next year, we feel that the activities and educational content of his day are making him ready for this next stage. Our youngest has been attending now for 4 months, and the nursery has been supporting us with his development. They regularly ask what areas of learning and development we would like them to focus on with both children. Weather permitting (!) there are the well developed and beautiful gardens for the children to enjoy as well as the daily visits to the on-site farm. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for their caring nature with our children.

December 15, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter really enjoys attending the nursery at Mead Open Farm. All of the staff are warm and welcoming and encourage the children’s natural interests. The added benefit of this nursery is that they also get to regularly visit the farm to see the animals and play in the on-site park and soft play areas which our daughter really enjoys. With access to the farm and the large outdoor enclosed garden areas, there are endless opportunities for fun outside which we’re particularly pleased with it but also the nursery works hard to create a natural learning environment inside too.

May 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son loves attending this nursery. They have a lot of variety in their activities and are spending a lot of time outside and on the farm. They also have a good variety in their meal plans and have been able to accommodate my child’s dietary requirements. The staff always seem friendly and helpful.

May 15, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Mead Open Farm Day Nursery on the full time basis since she was about nine months old. The care and support we have received has always been amazing, including but not limited to comprehensive handovers, frequent focus child sheets, updates and general support we received over the past three years. The team are amazing, very friendly, dedicated and loved by all kids and parents. Our baby loves the animals and she has always enjoyed the far visits and close contact with animals there as well as use of the soft play facilities. We are actually very sad that in a few short months she will have to leave the nursery and go to the big school. I wish she could stay here a little bit longer. It’s an amazing place that we could not recommend strongly enough.

April 12, 2022 at 12:00 amSince my child has attended the nursery, they have always come back with a smile on their face, and the mention of the staff always makes them happy. The different range of activities they do is brilliant, along with the means that are provided.
I would easily recommend this nursery to anyone looking.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy eldest daughter graduated from preschool in August 2022 after being at the nursery since January 2019. Now my youngest has started in the baby room and I could not be happier at the level of care she has received so far. She eats well and naps so must be happy and all the staff are fantastic and have done everything they can to support her in becoming settled and happy during her time here. Thank you.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves nursery at Mead Open Farm Day Nursery. From day one it has been great seeing her learn new skills through the nursery (walking, basic problem solving and more) She has always been fond of the staff and we have never had issues dropping her off in the mornings. As a parent, the nursery is a great help during the week we don’t have to worry about meals, nappies or creams as this is all covered. The staff always know what she has been up to each day showing their attention to detail this also reflects in the daily updates on the app.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves coming to nursery at Mead Open Farm Day Nursery. he is so happy, the staff care deeply about all the children. he loves feeding the animals at the farm as well as going to soft play.

April 7, 2023 at 12:00 amEvery single member of staff takes the time to understand our son’s needs and requirements. The staff are always approachable to discuss changes with our son. Every day he asks to go to nursery, even the days he isn’t scheduled. As soon as we came for our open day I knew this was the setting for our family. I’m sure the food is good although he won’t eat it!

June 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son and daughter both had a great time at the half term activity day camp! There is a great range of activities for them to do and they even got to feed the animals and play on the climbing wall and outside activities. It can be tough being a working parent in the holidays but camps like this make it a whole lot easier, knowing they are being well looked after. Thank you Mead Open Farm Day Nursery, we will be back!

June 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to holiday club, always has an amazing time. He always comes home with lots of things he made ranging from food to crafts. They cater to my son’s food allergy with no problems. My son loves all the staff and gets on so well with them all. I would recommend it to everyone.

June 29, 2023 at 12:00 amHoliday Camp at Mead Open Farm, May half term: My son (age 7) was very happy with the activities and the staff. He came home with stories about animal feeding, climbing the sky trail, dancing with dinos, and making good friends. He was excited to go the next day. The timetable was engaging and varied. The staff was friendly. I’m glad my son had a great time. He will be there again soon.
