Reviews

1. Charlie Edwards ★★★★☆

   After a tricky start with our little one finding it hard to settle into nursery, Cassie became his key worker in the baby room – and she has been absolutely incredible! She has such a special bond with him, and he completely adores her. Nothing ever feels too much for Cassie; she goes above and beyond every single day to make sure he is happy, comfortable, and having the best time at nursery. Her genuine care and kindness shines through in everything she does. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Cassie, we’re not sure we would still be at Neston – she really is a true superwoman and such a credit to the nursery!

   Daughter loves it, really flexible. Usually pick up around 4 but can do earlier or later. Always hearing about their trips to the woods, little kickers comes and tractor park. Lovely having the animals as well!

   After initially feeling excited at the prospect of sending my child here I learn that they only accept children for a minimum 10 hours per day. Pop a Google search in to see the detrimental effects of putting children in childcare for prolonged periods of time & perhaps you’ll think twice. Neston Farm - have a thought for the children’s long term welfare & be more flexible with your hours. Can’t comment on what it’s actually like there for the children… I expect they’d rather choose seeing their parent over cuddling a baby duck!

   We've sent 2 children to Neston farm, both with very different personalities. They have both thrived. Huge outdoor space. Great food. They spend time outside as often as they can, in every weather. The staff are really attentive and go above and beyond to anticipate the kids needs. Staff seem to enjoy their jobs. Would highly recommend.

   Our daughter thoroughly enjoys attending Neston Farm Nursery. She started around 8 months old and from Day 1 has loved every day she’s spent there. I fell in love with the directors ethos and values of child led play and feel the setting and the staffs practice really deliver this, contributing to our daughters rapid progression. She looks forward to going to nursery and has built lovely relationships with the staff and children. She has access to a wide variety of activities and outdoor experiences which has really helped her to love the outdoors and to build empathy with caring for animals. They have wonderful resources and equipment and opportunities to enhance children’s curiosity to learn.

   This nursery has an excellent focus on outdoor activities and animals, which is a great way for children to learn about sustainability and nature. The staff are very friendly and encourage learning through play, which creates a fun and engaging environment for the children. It's amazing when nursery invites parents to join in on outdoor play activities like the recent trip to the woods. However, it would be even better if they could organize more of these opportunities for parents to be involved in their child's learning and development. While the staff are friendly and approachable, and we do get regular handovers, I think it would also be beneficial for the nursery to have more meetings with parents and staff to discuss the children's progress and address any concerns. Like the recent emotional coaching session,maybe it's not for all parents but I really liked the idea of the consistency, therefore if parents are more educated of the concepts nursery is based on, then it would ensure more consistency between the two home & nursery. Overall, this is a fantastic nursery that prioritizes outdoor education and sustainability while creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for both children and parents.

   My daughter has been at Neston since she was a year old - she is now nearly 3 and absolutely loves it there! The setting is beautiful and the staff are so supportive. She always comes home with a smile on her face ready to tell me all about her day and she has progressed so positively in terms of her speech and social skills. I have since had a second daughter and she is already booked in to start as soon as she turns 1 as I didn't want her to miss out on a place! Thoroughly recommend!

   Our little girl has been attending Neston since September and having never left her much before, we were apprehensive! Neston has blown us away with its family feel, care and attention. We love sending her and she adores going. The animals, tractor park and woods are a firm favourite for her and the daily activities are just fantastic. Neston has nurtured our daughter’s sense of adventure and love for the outdoors. Her current key worker, Harriet, is incredible and we couldn’t ask for a more supportive care giver. Couldn’t recommend this nursery more!

   Our son has been at Neston Farm for approaching a year and we have been absolutely thrilled with the experience so far. Being naturally apprehensive how he would get on, it was such a relief to meet such kind and caring staff who communicate so effectively. The site is fabulous with so many animals and outside areas for the children, which is so important to us. We would recommend this nursery whole heartedly to all!

   The most deserving 5* ever. Our little boy has been at Neston since it opened and he is so happy there. We feel so lucky that he is part of such a caring, creative & adventurous nursery. He absolutely adores everyone who works there and his favourites Harriet & Carys - thank you to everyone who makes his time at Neston so magical!!
