I'm currently looking into childcare options for my 12 month old as I go back to work in September. Does anyone have experience of My Favourite Nursery just off Barry Rd?

It's ofsted was only satisfactory but if the care and feedback from others is good them I think I'll check it out.

Keen to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.

My daughter went there from 1- 2.5yrs and I was very happy with it. It provided a lovely nurturing environment for her and the staff were all lovely. Personally I find ofsted reports for nursery level education a bit arbitrary and would recommend visiting and getting a gut feel for a place.
My daughter went there from 8 months to nearly 3 and I was happy with it. I think The ofsted was done not long after they opened and there were improvements to be made but I believe it's come a long way since then. Happy to pm you with further feedback if you like as I know childcare can be very emotive so don't want to start disagreements here! Ultimately it is a great nursery with lots of plus points and I know many many parents who have also been very happy with it.
My son goes to MFN and I rate it very highly. He is so happy there and the carers there really are great with him. My second son will be attending next year. I understand the waiting lost is long so I'd pop your name down, they are currently conducting an audit of their list.
A big thumbs up from us. My 3y old often says she wants to go back to nursery about 30 seconds into our walk home and a few weeks ago she woke at 2am crying that she wanted to go to nursery. That was fun. I hope her love of nursery is not a reflection on our parenting! They have also been wonderful settling in our 13 month old, really loving and thoughtful as to what he may need and very keen to hear our thoughts.
Our daughter has been going there for the last 8 months and we are really happy too - her key worker has been great and is really caring. Our daughter loves it so much that she sometimes doesn't want to come home! I agree - I think the satisfactory rating was more about it being new so I wouldn't take too much notice of it.
My son went to MFN for two years until we moved out of ED and it was a bit of a come down when we visited the nurseries in our new area. None of them had the friendly, community feel of MFN and they all felt a bit 'commercial'. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. I only need to look at the scrapbook of photos and memories they gave him when he left to know it's a good place.

    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
    • Like most of us, I'm guessing they didn't look into thoroughly
    • It was implied, if we are talking about the candy shop comparison.
    • If there's something iffy with the organisation, how come The Plough has it in its car park? Are they being paid shedloads of money to have the bin there?
