Day Nurseries Owned by Apple Daycare Ltd in Hertfordshire

So pleased with the staff and facilities at Apple. The under 2's lead Charlotte and overall lead Helen have both been so caring with my son, and at times me! He was very clingy after some medical issues before he started, and settling took a while but he absolutely adores nursery now. The communication is excellent. The ratio's mean he gets a lot of care and attention. The facilities are really clean, lots of great toys and a fantastic outdoor area. In the photos on their app he's always smiling which makes going to work so much easier. Highly recommend.

My little boy recently joined the preschool and I can't give them enough praise he's always happy when he comes out asks when he's next going and loves the staff! Couldn't recommend this pre school enough to other parents, the staff make you feel so welcome and you're always updated and can see what the little tots are up to when at the preschool!

Staff and manager of the daycare were all lovely. My daughter always look forward into coming to the nursery. They are also very proactive regarding my daughter's development. I am so happy with the help I am getting from them.

Overall very happy with the nursery and my children have throughly enjoyed their experience at Apply Daycare. The nursery provides several activities throughout the week focusing on their development but also some fun too with dancing & singing and gymnastics.

After we moved home, my daughter joined this nursery from another setting and was welcomed with so much love and care. She settled quickly and still speaks fondly of the staff. That experience gave me complete confidence to enrol my son, who is also having a wonderful time.

The nursery is incredibly flexible compared to others we have used. The staff are happy, calm and enthusiastic, creating a positive environment where children clearly feel secure and supported. Georgetta is truly exceptional, and the whole team is kind and professional. The children learn so much, and the staff go above and beyond for both development and wellbeing. They were also fantastic in supporting my son through potty training. I feel completely confident leaving my children in their care.

Would like to appreciate ADC Oxlease for the quality care they offered my son always ever since he joined the preschool and most importantly this January. My son has developed his speech amongst other things quite well evidence of a lot of engagement at pre-school. He is always smart.

My son started with his settle in sessions in August (11 months old) and now attends everyday. The girls at Apple Daycare are amazing, and seeing my little one now stroll in on his own so happy really shows this. They are so nurturing and reassuring. My son has had some issues with his health recently and they really show how much they care. Assuring they do everything they can to tend to his needs, including allergies and always checking in with us on hospital stays. My son has grown so much in his confidence and his independence and I couldn't thank the girls enough for all their hard work, they really go above and beyond for the children in their care. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, caring., nurturing nursery.

I'm so happy taking my son to this Nursery

My daughter has attended Apple Day Care since May, 2024, and has enjoyed every minute of it. The staff are fantastic and really take an interest in each individual child. My daughter comes home happy everyday, and will refer to her friends and teachers on a regular basis. The activities are varied, including sports coaches coming into the setting, and the garden area is excellent. The communication from the nursery is good, and they're very responsive. I would definitely recommend.

My son recently moved to Aboyne Lodge from another Apple setting due to Work/Convenience. Ronnie settled straight in and the team really made Ronnie feel welcome from the get go! Aboyne Lodge is a very New/Clean/Bright and happy feeling Nursery and we knew straight away we would be comfortable with them looking after Ronnie. Charlotte and Helen have been so helpful throughout and I would 100% Recommend Aboyne Lodge to everyone!!

This is the first time I put my child into childcare and it took some time for him to settle, due to new environment, and only going two days a week. I was unsure of what to expect and had some questions in mind, as a parent putting my child into someone else's care. I had a tour of the nursery with my son last July and I liked the commune areas, the outdoors equipment that support the child motors skills. It was tidy and clean. My son started developing his listening. He was listening to people while shopping and interacting with people more.I do appreciate that the team has been very patient so that my son is at ease and enjoys going to nursery.

Overall, I have been very pleased with Apple Daycare and I would highly recommend them. Thank you to all the amazing staff for making our transition to nursery life that little bit easier!

Apple Daycare have been fantastic, really happy with the care they have given my 1 year old daughter. She's settled in really well and seems completely happy and comfortable. I love getting the daily diary updates and photos to see what she's been up to!

My two little ones have been attending Apple Daycare Aboyne Lodge for just over two months now and I have to give credit where it's due. They both love it there. I've seen improvements with their listening at meal times and social development as a whole.

The two of them are typically sceptical of letting me out of their eyesight whenever we go anywhere or their around new people, within the first week I practically felt like they couldn't wait to get rid of me whenever I mentioned "Apple daycare" in the morning.

My thanks and praise goes out to the whole team, I can tell it's a place where my kids are truly paid attention to and genuinely loved.

If I ever have any more in future(definitely not the plan) I'll be sure to reserve a spot right here for them.

The on-site chef is a brilliant addition, and knowing he's getting fresh meals every day is a huge comfort. We also find the school-hours transition and the on-site location incredibly convenient. It's a wonderful setting, with nurturing teachers, and I would highly recommend it to any parent.

Thank you so much for helping our little one, Kya, settle in. She started nursery for the first time with you 3 months ago, and she has been so comfortable. We are certain that's down to the staff who look after her, particularly Helen and Charlotte who greet us every morning and afternoon at drop off and pick up. Kya is so comfortable walking in, and we know she is happy there (perhaps due to the snacks - she is a big foodie!). Thanks again for all you are doing, it's much appreciated

We placed our 4 month old into apple daycare at Aboyne and I have to say I was really nervous as he was still so small. However, Charlotte and Helen have been absolutely fantastic and really put my mind at ease. I'm kept updated throughout the day with messages and images and any questions they may have are asked straight away. My little boy has settled in straight away and has a huge smile on his face any time he sees Charlotte and Helen; so thank you all for maki my the experience a great one and for caring so much about my little one!

My wife and I have been so happy and impressed with the care and attention our daughter has received since starting at the Apple Daycare at Wild Hill. They always meet us with an enthusiastic smile in the morning at drop-off and we've seen our daughter settle right in and is excited every time she goes to nursery. The site itself is also in a lovely countryside location with immediate access to nature and outdoor spaces. The daily updates - either in person when collecting her, or via the app which includes photos of her playing and interacting - is greatly appreciated and gives us such a lovely insight into her day there. It was definitely a bit nerve-wracking when we were looking at different nurseries to whom we'd be entrusting the care and development of our daughter, but we could not have made a better choice and we are so happy with the Apple Daycare team and everything they provide - we would definitely recommend them to any parents looking for a safe, happy, and stimulating environment.

My child has been at the nursery since 1. The staff are all lovely and she has built strong relationships with them, often excited to see them each day. The staff go to great lengths to set up lots of activities including dedicated shaded areas during the hot summer days, sports events on the tennis courts and participating in various engaging sessions such as dance or singing, sometimes facilitated by external entertainers. Overall, she thoroughly enjoys her time there.
