Review from Abigail M (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started as a 14 month old at Oak Tree Day Nursery, leaves now as a Reception aged 4 year old having flourished in a sharing, caring, warm environment.


The choice on childcare provider like schools is probably one of the single most important decision parents and carers can make for their infants.

Oak Tree did not disappoint. My son has been able to hit his educational milestones and whilst learning is achieved daily, it is done in such a variety of ways that our family couldn't be more happier with achievements he has made.


The Oak Tree team have helped my son to thrive and develop his social skills. He is confident, warm and chatty. The team radiate warmth and generosity in whatever they do. The enrichment programmes offered such as Zoo Lab, Theatre / Farm visits, French and Yoga is also just such a nice extra touch.


My son's only gripe was that he was made to eat food he was unfamilar with eg chickpeas. (Shock horror). However, the food is balanced and nutritional.

Reply from Sade Okocha, Owner at Oak Tree Day Nursery
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting us with your son's care from such a young age. We are delighted to hear how much he has flourished during his time at Oak Tree Day Nursery…read more

My son is in this nursery since the age of 1. I have no other words than - the perfect nursery - to explain how this nursery made me feel at ease while I wasn't by his side. I was following his daily activities, lunches, happiness during the whole time. He starts the day with a wonderful smile and keeps
it the whole day which is the most important for me.

I cannot recommend Oak Tree Day Nursery enough to parents who are looking for a place for their child. Our daughter started attending there when she was 1 and we've really seen how much she's developed and become more confident over the years. The nursery offers so much for the children's development
from baby age up to Reception age. The staff are great and friendly (some have been there for over a decade!) and very welcoming, especially in the morning at drop offs.
We have spoken to so many parents around the Streatham and Balham area and this nursery definitely offers a lot more for the children.
I honestly I cannot say anything negative about them as they have been part of our lives for several years. Sadly, our daughter will be leaving in September to start her next chapter in a new school, but we're glad our 1 year old son will still be there for next few years.
Please do consider them in your shortlist and do visit the site. It's just a great place for your little one.

Our little boy went here for a couple of months before we moved away from the city. He loved the nursery and his key worker and we could see how he was developing just from the couple of days per week he was attending. Cannot recommend the nursery highly enough.

I can't recommend Oak Tree Day Nursery highly enough! From the moment our daughter stepped through the door she felt completely at ease and settled in straight away. This is a testament to how attentive and amazing the staff are. They became like family and have really contributed into shaping our daughter's
early social skills. The nursery has great facilities and organises a number of fun and educational activities, both within the premises as well as outdoors. We were very sad when our daughter left this summer, due to us relocating.

My child started nursery last year, l can see a big difference in her. What l love most about Oak Tree Nursery is how you can access the nursery app and get to know what your child is up to. l will recommend the nursery to anyone who wants the best for their child to attend the nursery. They have good
staff too, very friendly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I sent both my children to Oak Tree Day Nursery and I cannot recommend them enough!
They were like a second family to my daughter and to my son and now that my second one is leaving to start school, he is going to miss his teachers immensely. Staff and management are very helpful and they always try
to accommodate all kinds of requests. The nursery itself is big and spacious and clean. The baby room is the best and you can see the staff really want your baby to be happy and try their hardest to settle them.
They have a very good outside space and playground where the kids play every day and it's good as they get outside at least two times during the day. They have plenty of toys and they do some activities every day, like sport and French.
I know how it feels when it comes to choosing the nursery for your little one and I highly recommend booking a viewing here, you won't regret it!

We can not praise the entire team at Oak Tree Day Nursery highly enough. The care, attention and warmth the nursery staff have shown our child is simply outstanding. Each day our daughter attends nursery, we feel confident and happy that she will have a wonderful day. We couldn't have wished for a better

My son attended Oak Tree for one year in toddler unit. I am extremely pleased with the care my son receives at Oak Tree. He is always excited to go to nursery, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment created by the staff. I am consistently updated with what he is doing and eating throughout
the day, giving me peace of mind and a sense of involvement in his daily activities. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going the extra mile to ensure the children are well cared for and engaged in a variety of fun and educational activities. I highly recommend Oak Tree to any parent looking for a trustworthy and warm environment for their child.

Our son attended Oak Tree Day Nursery for a year. He started in the baby room and moved on to the toddler room. We had a great experience with all the staff in both the rooms, the staff was very caring and helpful. My son settled in very well with his classrooms. My son really looked forward to going
to nursery and made some really good friends - his first real friends. The safe worked with us and we were very happy with our son going to OTDN. We would highly recommend OTDN to new babies and parents. Thank you to OTDN for looking after our son so well.

My daughter started at this Nursery when she was just 1 year and 3 months old and soon she will leave the nursery as she goes to reception. And always very happy, but she gets sad when it's not the day to go to the nursery which makes me happy too, this just shows how much love and affection she is
treated. Everyone was always very attentive to me and my daughter. It's a very respectful place, and I certainly recommend it, and if I have more children in the future and at the Oak Tree they will attend, a place that I feel safe, all the kind members. My daughter will definitely miss it very much.

My son went to Oak Tree Day Nursery last year. He had a great year, was very excited to go every morning and was always greeted with a smile by staff members. Everyone was so friendly and caring and it’s like he had become part of a family. He misses everyone greatly and still talks about his teacher
and the trip to Godstone Farm. Thank you so much to everyone at Oak Tree and I hope to send my daughter to you next year! Would definitely recommend it.

We love Oak Tree Day Nursery, I cannot recommend it enough. Our children have thrived there under the love and care of the exceptional staff. The staff are fantastic, they are like family to us and the children. The nursery has a wonderful outside space and the children play outside every day. They
offer French and music classes, sports, baby yoga and have visiting specialists, which is always exciting for the children. It is truly a wonderful nursery where the children make real connections with their carers and the other children.

My wife and I love Oak Tree Day Nursery. It has a lovely feel the moment you walk through the door. It's more like a family than a nursery. Everyone is so warm, and all the staff know every child by name. We also love all the extras that they do like looking at tarantulas and other exotic animals, French
lessons, baby yoga, and music lessons. I can highly recommend it!

What a fabulous nursery! The staff are so kind and caring. They have done a brilliant job helping to get our four-year-old son ready for school in all sorts of ways.
Our son loves the range of activities on offer - including sports, dancing, French and the visits from the animal man. Last month they
even organised a lovely excursion to the farm.
We can't praise the management and staff enough - thank you, Oak Tree Day Nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Oak Tree Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.833 for Oak Tree Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.833
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oak Tree Day Nursery is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
