What our Parents Say...
Tabitha Lewis ~ 25.01.23
We just wanted to say the biggest thank you for putting on last nights nativity. It was so amazing to see how well they all did (staff included!) and it does show you that the sky really is the limit! Thank you for giving our children the confidence to face anything in everything you do. Last night was so much more than just a nativity for us as parents. It was a glimpse into the wonderful world our children are a part of everyday, so thank you, again.

We also wanted to say a big thank you for all the work you are doing with him to help him get settled and feel happy. I can already see the progress he’s making, and that’s down to you all as a team for giving him the time, care, love and attention he needs.

On a personal note you have been a tremendous support for me . During my complicated pregnancy with ......, the forgotten packed lunches, sleep deprivation and tears all of your team have never skipped a beat when it came to being patient, caring and always able to make me feel like a good mum. With out hesitation you have been able to provide extra days or longer sessions to enable me to attend such things as hospital appointments. This has been a huge support that I did not know I needed.

I could go on and on, but most interestingly for me, I feel that The Barn have raised the bar for what we should be offering our children in terms of care and education. I feel incredibly lucky that we were able to get a space here for my son, and to witness first hand what the team here are achieving. ‘Blown away’ sums it up perfectly.

The Barn Nursery School, the only place I would trust with my babies. The staff all treat us parents like we are a part of their special barn family. They always go above and beyond to offer support, far more than their jobs require them to do and having been on the receiving end of a lot of support the last few years I really appreciate them!

The barn..... A place of wonder, a place of calm, a place of excitement and a place that as a parent you can leave knowing your child is in the best hands.

Exceptionally incredible in every area of my daughter’s learning journey. I wholeheartedly know The Barn Nursery is an environment providing the best opportunities for every single child to thrive. Jasmine Golding

Can’t believe how lucky we’ve been to have the Barn on our doorstep and have all my children experience the wonderful people and world created at the Barn. Such a fantastic start in life for all of them. Thank you!

I just wanted to say how amazing it was to come in today and do multi sports with …..! I had such a fun time. I will never forget the smile on her face when she saw me and how she paraded me around to meet her friends which such pride.Such precious moments I will cherish forever. Definitely would love to have more opportunities to join in! Thanks for doing such an amazing job as always!

Everything I have to say is 100% positive. I just love everything you do; I love that it is very child-centred and children can choose where they want to play with the support of the support. I myself am a big advocate of helping children to be as independent as possible and I just loved seeing how you teach the children to do all aspects of forest school life by themselves. The activities set up for the children to access are amazing; you offer such a range of great resources but also it was clear to see that your staff are highly skilled too in the way they engage with the children and use questions to get them thinking.
I just wanted to drop a note to say a huge thank you to all of the team for the beautiful card and book that you delivered to ….He was so excited to tell me when I got home just now and although he has read the book twice already, I have had to promise we can read it again as soon as he has finished his lunch. Thanks for always taking such good care of him and putting a smile on his face even when he’s not actually with you at The Barn

I think inviting us parents in for a session was an amazing idea! To come and see what it’s all about was so much fun! .......... was so excited to share everything at forest school with me, he was so excited to show me each and every area, and also telling me the rules! Forest school is actually much better than I ever thought it was, the freedom and adventures they can do is just beyond everything I could wish for ..... to start his education with! To be perfectly honest, I left feeling quite emotional that it’s all coming to an end for him, his happy place!! The place I know he is happy and safe! Everything has been thought about above and beyond! I can’t wait to come and experience it all again with my next child! Thank you so much to you all!

So many opportunities for independence and imagination. To be honest no feedback….other than keep doing what you’re doing, it’s amazing! The staff are always giving little golden nuggets of information where the children are exploring offering so many opportunities for development. The staff I met today were so nurturing and just everything I want for my little boy in a care giver. Thank you so much
I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how incredible the barn is. I feel so privileged that my children get to experience this kind of provision. My round trip is 40 mins to get my children to access such an amazing place. I don’t ever consider the journey because it’s so worth it. The staff are such an incredible team of caregivers.
