The Old Barn Day Nursery

We’ve had the journey is being in both rooms now and our daughter just thrives. The team are so attentive and she thinks the world of them. Though I’m concerned there’s been a lot of team changes of late. The only thing I would say negative, is the lack of parents’ app updates now. We used to get them regularly and whilst I appreciate the care of the kids is much more important than the worker spending time on an ipad. What would be truly nice is a ‘this week we’ve done…’ so you can understand and see what your kid has been up to, as some are still too little to tell you what they’ve done and you don’t want to spend ages at the door when collecting your kid, as there is consistently a large queue of other parents waiting. This is not a criticism of the Old Barn as I believe this was a Head Office decision but it’s something that should have been taken into consideration. Thanks. We absolutely adore The Old Barn because our daughter has the best time on her days there.

Though it would be much financially better if I kept him at home, I do not regret my decision to send him to The Old Barn Day Childcare centre. Not only has my son developed some fantastic social skills, he eats better than I do.

The team are remarkable and the setting itself is fantastic. They provide a cheerful, secure and supportive setting that my son thoroughly enjoys, to the point where he doesn’t want to leave some days. Although I don’t live in the Narborough area, I happily travel so my Son can attend The Old Barn.

Our daughter loves going here and they consistently make sure she is discovering as well as having enjoyable. Special mention to her key worker, we are so cheerful she returned to The Old Barn, she truly is incredible with kids and makes our daughter sense highly cheerful and settled at childcare centre! As are all the other girls, our daughter has a couple of other favourites. Updated throughout the day with images and notes on how her day is going through an app, which is truly nice if you sometimes leave them in the morning unsettled. Exceptional childcare centre!

The team are attentive, approachable and nothing is too much trouble. I sense confident when dropping my son off that he will be well cared for, looked after, and developmentally challenged. My son has settled in brilliantly.

The kids consistently seem cheerful when you walk into the room, with lots of stimulating activities and toys to keep them busy. Wouldn’t send my kid to any other childcare centre. It’s a lovely facility, the team are highly welcoming and consistently have time to stop and chat with the parents.

It truly is the lovely team that make it possible. The girls are so attentive and excellent with our son and it truly makes me sense at ease knowing they look after him like their own. He has loved this childcare centre and I consistently sense like things are communicated well.
The only downfall has been the invoicing, which we have had numerous issues with but hopefully, this has now been resolved. That aside, it’s a excellent place with lovely team. The Old Barn Day Childcare centre has been a truly excellent childcare centre.

All the team welcome her like they see her every day, even though it’s only once a week. One team member makes it seem as though she is genuinely cheerful to see her each time as if she is her favourite (even if she isn’t, making her sense that special is excellent!). Consistently truly secure on pick up/drop off; if a newer member of team sees me they check with experienced team to make sure I’m the right person. She will walk gladly to all the team with open arms, truly assistance her with the activities – even if she’s trying to be highly independent at the minute – and give a great summary at the end of the day.
Exceptional childcare centre that truly cares, put thought into the day and makes us sense secure where our daughter is. We’d suggest them to anyone. Our daughter seems like she loves going to childcare centre.

She is cheerful when she goes in the mornings and as well positive and content when she goes home. She enjoys her time there. All the team are fantastic and well trained to react in any situation, even in accidents and they give their best everyday. They helped a lot with her shyness, speech and potty training. Her keyworker identifies skills that could improve and keeps working with her.
We adore having access to the app and see how she goes with her day and see snapshots of her, however, there could be more information on what kids have done during the day (either on the app or on pick up) so that parents can work on certain activities at home too. The childcare centre team give excellent care for my kid.

Can’t fault the care and compassion of the team and the kids consistently come home cheerful. Thanks for looking after them so well. Our twins have been going to the Old Barn since 2019 and absolutely adore it there.
