    My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was one and has always enjoyed going there. The nursery provides excellent care. My daughter talks about all the ladies very highly and has a lovely relationship with them. I love the communications that we receive during the day and feel happy that she is safe and having a good time with the varied activities and the healthy food they provide. I would highly recommend this nursery. My second daughter will be going there when she’s older, and I’m sure she’ll love it too.

    You pay a premium but it is worth it – an excellent nursery. Varied activities and encouragement to be more independent prepares children really well for school. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Orchard Barns Ardleigh.

    My little one is looking forward every morning to see her key person and her friend.
    Every day they are having fresh and tasty food.
    I receive updates on how she is doing, sending photos.
    It looks like she is having a good time there.

    My son has been going to Orchard Barns for nearly two years, since nine months old. I was very satisfied with how quickly he settled in and how much he has come on since being in their setting. Very calm and caring atmosphere and friendly, approachable staff. Would definitely recommend it.

    We recently put our 2-year-old into Orchard Barns nursery. Every member of staff is friendly to talk to, and they all genuinely care for the children. We looked around a few nurseries, and this one was outstanding compared to the others in the local area.

    The app they use to feed updates is excellent, and they update it regularly throughout the day. This gives you peace of mind that your child is being well looked after and that they are having fun!

    My son started at Orchard Barns when he was 6 months old and finished when he turned 4. Going back to work and having to leave your 6-month-old child with people is a tough thing to deal with as a parent. However, I can honestly say the team at Orchards Barns exceeded expectations in all areas. The consistent information they give you via parent zone (app on your phone) to the kindness they give you at the door at drop off and pick up. I am a musician and they welcomed me in when my son was a year to come and play some songs to the little ones. Food that was served was something that I daily felt jealous of when looking at my own lunch. My son learnt so much during his time and I loved watching him soak it all up. I feel they helped shape his personality and confidence that he has. They fully got him up to speed in a difficult 2020 so he was ready for school. Not only did they care for my son but they showed him love. My daughter starts next year and I cant wait. Wonderful kind people.

    Fantastic setting. I always enjoy picking up my godson from here as the staff are so lovely and helpful. The menu is very diverse and offers a range of quality food. The nursery is very efficient in keeping us up to date with the current situation and guidance.

    My grandson attends the nursery. He has become a very confident little boy since joining. The staff are amazing and very welcoming. The standard of care is second to none and I would highly recommend. He is always talking about the lunches he receives which are cooked daily on-site by the chef.

    Our son has absolutely thrived at Orchard Barns. They approach each child individually and ensure all their needs are met. Support for parents is also more than expected. The whole team are outstanding.

    Orchard Barns is an extremely friendly nursery, my daughter has settled well after changing to this nursery, they provide and create such amazing activities for the children to partake in to help them learn through playing and encouraging their imagination. They are attentive to the children’s needs and provide healthy meals throughout the day. The outdoor space is lovely with plenty to do for all ages. I would highly recommend this nursery.

    I would one hundred per cent recommend Orchard Barns Ardleigh. They have been amazing with supporting my child from fourteen months old. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they have a great understanding of my child’s needs and will do anything to help develop him.

    We are so happy we have found such a supportive nursery with fantastic staff. Our child, who has complex needs, has never phased the staff, and they have created a wonderful environment for her to thrive in. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

    My great-grandson adores the nursery. When we pick him up, the staff are so lovely and friendly. They have recently climbed up Mount Snowdon to raise money for three of the children who attend the nursery. Couldn’t wish for a better team to look after the children.

    My daughter enjoys her time at Orchard Barns so much. Everyday at pick up she has a huge smile on her face and she has made so many friends. She adores the staff and always enjoys her meals. I throughly recommend this nursery.

    My son is always very happy to attend nursery, never hesitates to run into the classroom!
    The staff are always happy and friendly and have really taken the time to get to know him and understand his daily routine.
    He has progressed significantly since starting at Orchard Barns and I’m always surprised when he comes home with something new to show me.

    My son has only been coming to the setting since October last year but we can already see a huge difference in his confidence and overall self. This is because of the care he receives from all staff at Orchard Barns Ardleigh. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a childcare setting for their child.

    The staff team at the nursery are amazing. They are willing to support and be a listening ear with family concerns. The staff are kind and caring. I can not thank them enough for supporting my daughter and getting her the help that she needs and deserves.

    Our son loves going to the nursery at Orchard Barns in Ardleigh and has developed a lot in the time he has been there. It is a great space, the staff are lovely, and there are just so many fun activities that the kids do every day. I’m jealous of all the fun they have!
