Dear Farrow Fields Team,

May I take this time of the year to let you know in writing how much I appreciate and value the wonderful work you do.

From the moment Noa-Rae joined your setting I have been nothing but amazed at the care you provide, the commitment and the love you give.

I can appreciate this isn’t an easy role by any means and with so many horror stories I can’t express how grateful I am for my daughter to be in a setting where I know she is well taken care of and looked after and has so many needs met.

The family based approach is so lovely and she has completely thrived under your setting in ways I couldn’t have ever imagined.

Finally I couldn’t be happier with the setting and what you have provided for me since March.

I’m thankful to each and everyone one of you and really want your outstanding efforts to be recognised. 
I appreciate it so much. 

With love, Ruwa 2026

"Our daughter has been attending since she was 6 months old, and she’s turning 5 this year. Honestly, the best feedback we can give is that she wakes up on a Sunday morning asking to go to Farrow Fields and praises John’s scrumptious food over our homemade dinners! She’s so happy there and always well looked after, full of ideas and positive energy. We often get a ‘Farrow Field tired’ child back after a day spent mostly outdoors in the fresh air. We feel like very lucky parents!"

"During Theodore’s time at Farrow Fields he has been exposed to a vast variety of interactive learning opportunities. His speech and understanding had developed positively as well as farrow fields supporting potty training which has been a big milestone for Theodore. He is very happy to attend nursery and enjoys being surrounded by his friends of different ages and abilities.

Theodore always has a full belly and Farrow Fields is exceptional with exposing Theo to new nutritious foods and is evident a lot of thought and knowledge goes into the food preparation for the children.

The staff are exceptional with caring for Theo with supporting his development, characteristics and a stand out point is the encouragement for outdoor play no matter what the weather which is brilliant for my very outdoorsy boy.

Overall we could not ask for anything more from the nursery, they go above and beyond for Theodore and we are confident every day he is safe and happy.

"Finding the right childcare is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, but from the moment we joined over two years ago, it was clear that Farrow Fields Childcare isn't just a facility, it’s a second family for us. The love and genuine care the children receive is visible in every interaction. You can see it in the smile on our son’s face waiting to go in every morning and the warmth of the staff greeting him and looking after him.


What sets them apart is how involved we feel in our child's day. We receive daily books filled with details of what they’ve been up to, and the securely shared pictures are such a highlight - it is wonderful to actually see the fun they're having while we're at work.

Farrow Fields strike the perfect balance between security and freedom. The gates are strictly  kept shut outside of designated pick-up and drop-off times, providing total peace of mind for us on their safety. Despite the high security, the children aren't ‘cooped up, but quite the contrary. They have incredible access to roam free across the fields and adiacent green belt land, allowing them to truly explore and have fun with their friends.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed around weekly themes that teach the children about the world around them. There is a beautiful focus on the seasons. Between planting, interacting with animals (including special visitors) and various daily stations for arts and crafts, the kids are constantly learning through hands-on experience.
They also have weekly music lessons and have recently built an ingenious ‘outdoor-in’ shed. This has been invaluable, as it allows the children to benefit from fresh air even when it’s raining.

Victoria, Lauren, Katie, John and the rest of the team here truly goes above and beyond. Their dedication is unmatched; they have even been contactable outside of working hours when we’ve needed them for support, which is virtually unheard of in other settings and truly appreciated.

The food is a highlight in itself. All meals are cooked from scratch on-site using organic, wholesome ingredients. There is no sugar added in any of the sweet treats, yet the recipes are so tasty that our child always goes for seconds on every meal!

We would wholeheartedly recommend this facility to any parent. It is, without a doubt, the best early years setting any child could ever need.

"We find Farrow Fields to be a wonderful Day Care setting. Since our daughter Olivia joined she has grown in confidence and academically and I believe this is thanks to the approach taken by the staff at Farrow Fields. I’m always pleased with the activities and experiences offered, there seems to always be a new way to learn and have fun at the same time. We enrolled Olivia after she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 18 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the care that is provided for Olivia’s additional needs. Her condition can be challenging, and frightening at times. Communication between the team and myself is always perfect and I am always kept well informed of Olivia’s well-being. It was extremely difficult choosing to place Olivia in a Day Care setting, the team at Farrow Fields have made the transition so much easier and we feel at complete ease that Olivia is in very safe hands. We love the variety of food/snacks that are offered and we really enjoy that the children get involved with chopping vegetables for meals and get involved in food preparation. We love that outside play is encouraged as much as possible and the children have a sense of freedoom. We cannot recommend Farrow Fields enough, we love the staff, we love the setting and there’s no doubt in my mind that if we did choose to have another child that we would want them to attend Farrow Fields. 10/10 from us."

"The experience, guidance and genuine care for the children is amazing. I feel very lucky to have found a fun, safe, loving and trusting space!"

 Rana, May 2024 

"My daughter always looks forward to going. I like the way they have planned out each week for the children to keep them engaged and active … what I really appreciate is Tory sends pictures and videos of my child almost everyday."

Natalie, May 2024

"My son seems to learn something new every time he goes and it’s lovely seeing him so happy to be dropped off in the morning. He often talks about his nursery friends before bed and says how much fun he’s had."
