The review below was posted in March 2026.\n\nReview: Our child started at this nursery in September 2023, and at first it was a warm and welcoming environment. The forest school setting is wonderful, and initially the nursery felt reliable and caring.\nOver the past year, however, there have been a number of changes. Several experienced and much-valued staff members have left, and there now seems to be a heavier reliance on agency staff, which has affected consistency and continuity of care. Some organisational changes have also been challenging. For example, the merging of two rooms for older children seemed to happen quite quickly, wasn’t clearly communicated to parents and we don’t think it works as well as having them separately. More recently, we were informed on a morning that only up to eight children would be admitted to our son’s room for the day.\nThe setting remains lovely & there is a lot of potential but the recent management and organisational changes are poor.",

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported effectively by their knowledgeable key person. There is good, individualised support in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff work in partnership with other providers and professionals to share information about children's development to help them make good progress.

Moved my son here from another local nursery after he failed to settle and enjoy. Instantly found the staff approachable, friendly and calm. He LOVED forest school and continues to attend the after school club for one day a week, three years later. This is not for childcare - but because he enjoys it! I thoroughly recommend Barn kids and it suited my sensitive, outdoorsy boy down to the ground. I cannot wait for my second son to begin when he's ready.

Absolute horror show of a nursery. They let my child walk around all day with a poopy nappy and didn't even bother to change him. Staff are careless and management is even worse! AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Please note: We have now left the nursery so I am unable to comment on whether the situation has changed. The review below was posted in March 2026. Review: Our child started at this nursery in September 2023, and at first it was a warm and welcoming environment. The forest school setting is wonderful, and initially the nursery felt reliable and caring. Over the past year, however, there have been a number of changes. Several experienced and much-valued staff members have left, and there now seems to be a heavier reliance on agency staff, which has affected consistency and continuity of care. Some organisational changes have also been challenging. For example, the merging of two rooms for older children seemed to happen quite quickly, wasn’t clearly communicated to parents and we don’t think it works as well as having them separately. More recently, we were informed on a morning that only up to eight children would be admitted to our son’s room for the day. The setting remains lovely & there is a lot of potential but the recent management and organisational changes are poor.
