Day Nurseries Owned by YMCA Dulverton Group in Somerset

Yew Trees have provided amazing care & learning opportunities for our son since he was 6 months until school age. He is now totally ready for school having been given a wonderful setting inside & out to learn, grow, make friendships & have a special childcare experience. Yew Trees have balanced the fun, care & learning and we are extremely grateful for this experience for our son.

We have had a wonderful experience of Yew Trees where we sent our first child, and our second has now started. The staff are all really special and make the setting really stand out from others in our opinion.

We love the outside area and the opportunities that children have to play outside and do other activities in all weathers.

The food is also excellent and now some is also home grown at the nursery!

Overall a really special place!

Our children are always happy after a day at Yew Trees The staff who look after them are always friendly and keep us up to date. We are going to miss the setting when our daughter starts school and thank the nursey for the effort they went to for the leavers' afternoon tea.

My son happily goes to nursery and really enjoys his time there. He loves taking part in the different activities and playing with his friends. The caregivers are amazing and take great care of him. They are always patient, attentive, and listen to any concerns I have, which gives me great confidence and peace of mind. I truly appreciate the caring and supportive environment they provide.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our toddler has received at this nursery. From the start, the staff have been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in our child's wellbeing and development. They create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel valued and excited to learn.

Communication is excellent, with regular updates on activities, milestones, and any concerns. It's reassuring to know our child is well cared for while also growing in confidence, independence, and social skills.

We've seen wonderful progress, from improved communication to forming friendships. The variety of activities is fantastic, with plenty of outdoor play, free play, and engaging sessions like singing and dancing.

During settling in, staff took time to understand our child's interests and incorporated favourite toys and activities.

We're incredibly grateful and would highly recommend this nursery.

We have both our girls at Yew Trees Nursery (baby room and little learners) and we are so impressed with the facilities and care the children get. Our girls love going to nursery and enjoy all that it offers. All the staff are amazing and build such lovely bonds with the children and spend time talking to parents about the childs day! Overall we are very happy with Yew Trees!

Our daughter absolutely loves Yew Trees. The outdoor space is fantastic, and the staff truly nurture her passion for nature and exploration. She has a wonderful bond with her key worker, who is incredibly kind, caring, and attentive to each child's individual needs. We feel she takes the time to genuinely get to know the children and supports them in recognising and understanding their emotions. Our daughter feels completely comfortable and secure in this setting; she trusts the carers and is confident enough to talk openly about how she feels. She often tells us about her day and how much she has enjoyed it.

Our children absolutely love attending Yew Trees. The staff are so friendly and communication is excellent. The outdoor space is fantastic and there are always a range of fun and engaging activities planned for the children. 100% would recommend!

Children have great outdoor space to explore, crafts, learning and so much more! I would highly recommend to future parents looking for a nursery for their child/ren.

Thank you Yew Trees.

Thank you for the care you show every day!

Fantastic nursery, really appreciate the engagement with the children, the feedback they give and generally the warm environment. Most importantly our son enjoys going to nursery (most days!). Thanks all

I can not praise Yew Trees and all the team there enough. From our first viewing with our eldest to onboarding my youngest, we have had nothing but warmth, care, and support from everyone that we've encountered. From coming from another nursery to this one, the difference has been clear that this is just a much better quality nursery (whilst even being cheaper!)

It's obvious that the management and the staff have a genuine commitment to the care and development of the children. Our kids have such lovely connections with the staff and each other and that's all down to the team's hard work making that happen.

The setting is beautiful, with so much open space, greenery, nature and wildlife to interact with. The food is made with thought and care, and I love hearing the updates about how they source and prepare the high-quality ingredients. I appreciate the Famly app too, great transparency of the kids activities, quality photos, much better user interface than other apps like Tapestry

Yew tree have been amazing from the very start. Myself and my son found the first few weeks quite hard with drop offs and settling in but all the staff were very supportive. They are very informative about his daily interactions and progress. The app they use is great for this. B has now been going to yew trees for 2 months and he absolutely loves it , he reaches out for the girls when he arrives and gets so excited when we head out to the car in the morning. To me that is a great sign as he has always been very sure about who he likes just from his body language. At the end of the day they are caring for the most precious thing in your life and I trust them wholeheartedly. Yew tree has been recommended to me countless times and I continue to recommend them to anyone that's looking for a nursery. Overall all the girls are so lovely, friendly and fun. They have endless activities for the babies and I love how much time they spend outside as we are a very outdoors family .

All the other staff I have had interactions with have been warm and friendly also. I can't speak highly enough about our personal experience with this nursery. They are contributing to making my son a very content, polite, happy and well mannered little boy and I am very proud of him.

I have 2 girls who have both attending this nursery since the age of 1 and both have thrived in this environment. Their development has come on leaps and bounds since attending and their social skills and empathy are fantastic. The staff in all rooms are highly attentive, compassionate and fair.

We are so grateful for the care, dedication, and positive impact the nursery and his key worker have had on his early years.

Thank you Yew Trees!

From the moment I first visited the nursery, I knew I would be doing my child a disservice by not sending him here. The setting is outstanding -with plenty of outdoor activities, a fantastic menu, and passionate, caring staff. Under their care, my child has come on in leaps and bounds. It's so reassuring to know he is safe, happy, and thriving in this environment. My only wish is that they would go on to open a primary school too!

My son has been attending Yew Trees for nearly a year and from the very first encounter at our show around to now, its has been nothing but outstanding! My son is in currently in babies and all the staff within his room are amazing, particularly the ladies who group keywork him. They are genuine, kind, helpful ladies. My son loves it here, he is always happy, loves all the activities set out for him and finds comfort in those that look after him. Nothing asked is too much trouble. The communication is brilliant, any questions I have are answered promptly and professionally. The app is well managed and I love waiting for the daily update. The staff in the office are supportive, understanding and will always help wherever they can. The menu is great, full of variety and lovely food. I leave him at nursery knowing he is looked after to the highest of standards, stimulated, supported and above all- loved. I could not have wished for a better place for my son.

We are especially grateful to one lady, whose gentle guidance, encouragement, and care have meant so much to him over the past year. She has helped him grow in confidence and happiness, and for that, we will be forever thankful.
