September 11, 2024 at 7:51 pmThe team are compassionate and attentive and provide a clear structure for activities throughout the day. The free flow between rooms and mixing of age groups sets it apart from other nurseries and enables friendships and mutual assistance to develop between the kids. The childcare centre also provides appropriate preparation for school and has shown a thorough understanding of how kids learn. Regular development meetings have been highly supportive. The childcare centre is highly well run with long standing and consistent team and updates with parents is outstanding. The range of activities is wide and include dance lessons and walks around the grounds to visit animals in nearby fields. Millfield Childcare centre School is in an idyllic setting for kids, in peaceful countryside with lots of outdoor space which enhances their playtime and discovering.

September 17, 2024 at 11:18 pmMy youngest has just started school and his Reception teacher has been truly impressed with his reading, grasp of numbers and fine motor control. Millfield has given him the best start…he’s both cheerful and confident. This is a long established, professionally run, attentive and enjoyable setting with a real sense of homeliness about it. We miss Millfield as it holds nothing but positive memories. I would not hesitate to suggest Millfield to any parent. Between our 3 kids we have attended 5 childcare centre settings over the years, and Millfield has been our favourite for so many reasons…the idyllic setting in the countryside, the owned fields for nature rambles/sports day behind the childcare centre (and the alpacas next door!), The stellar outdoor wooden playground equipment, the spotless, well organised free flow rooms inside, the attentive experienced team, and the welcoming, supportive attitude from everyone.

September 28, 2024 at 11:04 pmWelcoming team who sense like part of your extended family, fabulous setting with more outside space than my local park and a solid structured discovering through playtime routine (with the emphasis on enjoyable)
We were sad to leave Millfield as our son has just started school but we are already seeing the benefits as his reading and writing skills are helping him to settle in.
Millfield may be a little out of your preferred route to or from work or seem a little out of the way but that is what helps make it so special. It is definitely worth the detour and I consistently suggest it to friends. This is the childcare centre you dream of finding for your kid.

October 6, 2024 at 11:06 pmThe outside space is something you don’t get in most nurseries. A perfect setting for a highly active little boy!
My son started at 3 years, a highly shy and sensitive little boy. The team were exceptional during his settling in period.
The setting at Millfield is inviting and attentive. I watched my son develop into a self-assured, confident little boy fully ready for school!
Its obvious Millfield are totally focused on development and provide thoughtful and interesting activities to assistance the development of each individual kid. Dance classes, football training, baking and walks in the countryside were just a few of my son’s favourite activities.
The team and owners are truly incredible! They are welcoming, attentive, supportive and attentive. We have consistently felt confident leaving our son here which is a testament to the outstanding team.
This childcare centre is exceptionally organised and run to an exceptional standard by the owners. Updates is outstanding. Regular emails/newsletters etc. They were also highly flexible, changing days etc..
I cannot rate this childcare centre highly enough! Attentive team who will do absolutely everything they can to ensure your kids are cheerful. My only wish is that he had started there earlier! We instantly fell in adore with Millfield Childcare centre when we looked round it.

November 21, 2024 at 9:22 amThe team are fantastic and truly care about the kids and their development. The daily creative activities were varied and the dance and sport sessions were a excellent addition. The outside playtime area is exceptional along with the lovely nature walks and the neighbouring alpacas. The kids were school ready and have lots of cheerful memories they still talk about. As parents, we had complete self‑assurance in Millfield Childcare centre School. We wouldn’t have wanted the kids to attend anywhere else. Our kids attended 2 preschool settings over the years and Millfield Childcare centre School was the outstanding option.

December 3, 2024 at 3:49 amHe started out a little shy at first (having only been at home with mummy up till then) but he just couldn’t resist all the activities (they would cleverly pick up on his favourite things and leave them in full view on arrival). Our first catch up to review his development showed a detailed reference to how he would conduct his day, and the things he was doing and discovering and you could see a kid who was gradually growing in self‑assurance and understanding! Our little boy will now leave to go onto Primary next year but he will take with him not only his early years key stages of discovering, but also remarkable memories of enjoyable and playtime, dancing, sport; exploring in the countryside and not least the bonds he made with the highly devoted team, who after all make the place as fantastic as it is! We signed up our little boy while he was still a baby and we were thrilled with the facilities on offer and all the outdoor space he would delight in when he turned 2!

December 18, 2024 at 1:21 pmIt is true that not all nurseries are the same and from my journey Millfield is exceptional.
The team are extraordinarily supportive and dedicated to the nurture and development of the kids in their care. The team are inviting, approachable, well‑informed and attentive – such that even an incredibly shy kid, such as my own, quickly settle in and benefit from the high-quality early years provision provided by Millfield; my daughter often did not want to come home at the end of each day and could not wait to get back there each morning.
The provision Millfield is outstanding, kids are engaged, well-behaved and learn through playtime. Activities are enjoyable and inventive (and sometimes messy!) and stretch them mentally as well as physically. Essentially, kids have a excellent time at Millfield. Millfield Childcare centre School is also in a lovely rural setting with lots of outside space and the
kids are able to take full advantage. Millfield is a fantastic childcare centre school – no doubt about it.

January 9, 2025 at 1:12 amThe “Busy Bee” books produced for every kid depict hours of enjoyable painting, drawing and dressing up as well as discovering to read, write and identify colours. They have baked, decorated and brought home all manner of buns and biscuits as well as tasted interesting food from around the world to celebrate and understand special events such as Chinese New Year. Fantastic arts and crafts have accompanied every occasion from harvest to Halloween and in 10 years I’ve never received the same card for Mothering Sunday. There are sports days and fund-raisers which give parents an opportunity to meet. Taking part in the sponsored walk around the grounds of Millfield in the summer confirmed how right we were to send our kids here. The incredible team are compassionate and patient and encourage these qualities from the kids in their care. I particularly like the fact that the kids are not confined to an age-related room but have the freedom to choose between the rumpus room or the quiet room and to establish special friendships with kids older and younger than themselves. Son number one liked the books and games in the quiet room whilst highly active son number 2 loved playing outside with his friends. Millfield channeled his energy and zest for life in a positive way with its passion for the outdoors. The outdoor playtime area is exceptional. Our eldest daughter enjoyed singing, dancing and dressing up whilst our youngest loves painting and sticking. She’s 3 and we have seen her grow in self‑assurance since she started a year ago and her language has come on in leaps and bounds. My husband and I are delighted with Millfield and we cannot suggest it highly enough. Our kids have been so cheerful and had so much enjoyable, I shall be highly sad when our youngest has to leave to start school. At least we have 2 more years of magnificent Millfield! The attentive team and remarkable facilities at Millfield Childcare centre School created highly cheerful pre-school memories for our 3 older kids whilst the youngest is still enjoying the delights of its rural location.

January 11, 2025 at 9:10 amMillfield is a attentive, inviting and welcoming setting. Unlike the city nurseries we viewed, there is outstanding outdoor space and excellent facilities. Both my kids highly rated the chef’s cooking skills. The kids were well cared for and we felt updated with their discovering and development development. Both of my kids attended Millfield for two years prior to starting school.

June 10, 2025 at 7:40 pmOur Granddaughter has been attending Millfield Childcare centre School for just 1 Month during a family transition.
We cannot praise this childcare centre enough.
The Management and fantastic team members are a credit to the industry.
To see a small nervous kid become confident and so cheerful in a new setting has been a joy.
We adore the freedom that the kids have to explore and learn from each other.
We agree with a previous reviewer when we state that “This truly is the compassionate of childcare centre you dream of for your kid”.
Thank You
