A NURSERY school near Salisbury is “thrilled” to be in the top 20 nurseries in the southwest of England. 

Farley Nursery School was named out of 1,114 places within the early year settings as a result of Day Nurseries – a leading review site of nurseries and schools.

Emily Colligan, the nursery manager at Farley Nursery School, said: “Farley Nursery School is absolutely thrilled to announce that they have been recognised in the top 20 day nurseries in the southwest of England.”

Farley Nursery is a part of Storal Learning and it also achieved a place in the top 20 nursery groups in the UK.

Sarah Mackenzie, CEO of Storal Learning said: “It's been a truly amazing year and we’re over the moon to be named in the Top 20 Nursery groups in the UK. Feedback from parents, children and our team is pivotal, it’s what drives and motivates us and to receive an accolade directly influenced by our parents is incredible and means so much to our teams.

“At Storal it all starts with the idea that every child and every parent has a different story to tell.”

The nurseries were assessed on many elements including facilities, outside space, equipment, learning, resources, ICT, activities, care, staff, food, and nutrition, as well as management, cleanliness, and value for money.

Amanda Hopkins, who is the reviews manager of Day Nurseries, added: “We would like to congratulate Farley Nursery School Salisbury on being rated by parents as a top nursery in Southwest England! Being chosen as one of the best nurseries in the UK by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“Our award is recognition from parents and carers that this nursery is offering their children a high standard of care that is key to their social and emotional development as well as their learning.

“Storal Learning has shown that its nurseries are having a big effect on children’s wellbeing and development. We would like to congratulate them on being a top nursery group, as rated by parents.”

Awards are based on a review score and on 60,000 reviews which comes from parents, relatives and guardians of the children who attend the nurseries.
