We've been really pleased with Oak Tree Nursery. The staff are caring, friendly, and create a safe, welcoming environment for the children. My son has grown in confidence and loves attending, which says everything. Communication is great, and I always feel reassured they are well looked after. I'd highly recommend it.

Our son absolutely loves going every day, which says everything. The team are caring, attentive, and truly incredible at what they do. We've seen such a positive difference in his confidence and happiness since joining.

My son is now 10 months old, he's been in the Caterpiller room for 4 months and doing brilliantly well. The nursery is a wonderful, nurturing place with a lovely, friendly team who are doing an excellent job in supporting my son's physical and cognitive development. Each week he's engaging in new activities, encouraged to try new food and learning new skills. We love the daily updates and look forward to the creative gifts he brings home after every seasonal event. The team are doing a stellar job!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We're absolutely delighted to hear how well your son is doing in our Caterpillar room and that he's enjoying such a nurturing and engaging start with us. It's lovely to know that the team's support for his physical and cognitive development, along with...
Oaktree is such a wonderful nursery I can't recommend it enough for the care and support they give the children. My eldest has been at Oaktree for 3 years now, my youngest has been there nearly a year and we have always had such a positive experience with nursery. The staff are truly amazing, they have always made my children feel so comfortable and cared for. My kids have learnt so much at nursery, have made great friends and genuinely enjoy their time there. What more could you ask for!
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We're delighted to hear how positive your family's experience has been and how happy your children are at Oaktree.
We came to Oak Tree when I was 20 weeks pregnant, we had been to see lots of nursery's but Oak Tree was different. There was a family feeling and we could tell the staff really cared for every student. Since my son joined in September he has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 16 months old. At a stressful time the nursery were there every step of the way and a few weeks after diagnosis he was back in nursery running around in his usual routine. They manage his numbers, food and treatment with excellent communication. We get regular updates, photos and check ins if he's not having a great day. I wouldn't trust anyone else with his care and I can't wait to see him grow as he moves through the rooms. Thank you so much for all you do
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that you felt confident in choosing Oak Tree and that your son has been able to continue thriving with us during such a challenging time. Supporting children and families with care, consistency, and clear communication is extremely important to our team, and your feedback is truly valued,
My son absolutely loves attending Oaktree, specifically the ladybird room! It took my son a while to settle, but all the staff were patient, caring, and there to offer endless cuddles when he needs them. He now LOVES walking through the door, always with a smile on his face, and never wants to go home! I feel so confident leaving him with the girls, knowing he is in the best hands, having so much fun, with so many toys to play with, and always well fed. I am so grateful for the way you have looked after my son, and us as a family. We couldn't ask for any more!!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear how much your son enjoys his time in the Ladybird Room! It means so much to us that he now walks in with a smile, and we're glad our team's patience and care have helped him settle so well. Knowing that you feel confident and supported as a family is exactly what we strive for.
He has made great bonds with the staff and everyone is lovely. We receive lots of updates throughout the day which we love.
He loves his food at each meal time.
The managers are very attentive and are always on hand to answer questions that I have.
We couldn't be happier and am so trusting of everyone at the nursery. I am so glad we chose this nursery for him. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're thrilled to hear your son is thriving and enjoying his time at Oaktree Nursery. It's great to know the updates, meals, and care from our team are appreciated.
The food is great, the management team are friendly and responsive and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear your son has settled in so well and is enjoying his time with the Caterpillar team. It's great to know the updates, photos, and activities are appreciated.
The nursery was kept to a high standard, had lots of activities and we were impressed by how every member of staff seemed to know every child's name even if they weren't in their specific care.

It means a lot to us that you noticed the care, communication, and high standards we strive to maintain every day. Our team takes pride in creating a welcoming and engaging environment where every child feels known and valued.
Although this review show just for July, this is an overall review that covers the past couple of years our daughter has been at Oak Tree as she has just left to move up to the next school. Admittedly I have not been directly involved as much as my wife, but we knew we wanted our daughter to go to Oak Tree the second we completed the initial viewing. It is like when you buy a house, you can walk into 4x or 5x but then one hits you and you know THAT IS THE ONE. This is how we felt about Oak Tree and I have seen nothing but excellence from them. Our daughter loved going to this Nursery and I have seen her grow in confidence week on week. She has always been happy to go in, and talked about her day with happiness. What more could you want? The staff were great and we would recommend Oak Tree to anyone/everyone looking for a fantastic, homely feeling, safe and happy Nursery for your child. thanks to everyone who works there !!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review. We're so pleased to hear that your experience with Oak Tree over the past few years has been a positive one. It's great to know that the nursery environment, staff, and overall atmosphere met your expectations and supported your child's development and confidence.
Our daughter absolutely thrived here. She formed strong bonds with the teachers and her peers, grew in confidence, and developed a real love for learning. The activities were always creative and engaging - from outdoor play and arts & crafts to early literacy and number skills, everything was thoughtfully planned to spark curiosity and support development.
The communication from staff was excellent, and we always felt informed and involved. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our daughter was in such capable, caring hands every day.
Thank you for giving our daughter such a happy, safe, and enriching start.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear your daughter had a positive experience at The Oak Tree Day Nursery. Supporting each child's development in a caring and engaging environment is our top priority, and it's great to know this came through.
We are so grateful to have found such a family-oriented, caring and welcoming nursery for our two children (aged 1 and 2.5). The communication from staff is excellent, the children are engaged in a range of activities every day, and meals are varied and healthy. I would unreservedly recommend this nursery to any friend looking for childcare for their toddler; if we weren't moving out of the area, I would be asking to increase the children's sessions!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our nursery and that your children have enjoyed their time here. Creating a caring, family-oriented environment is at the heart of what we do, and it's fantastic to know that our communication, activities, and healthy meals have made a difference for your family.
A great range of themed areas in terms of toy/activity areas. And a good-sized outdoor space.
Regular seasonal activities to involve the whole family.
Healthy fresh food, not just processed 'kids food' that we saw at other nurseries.
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear how quickly your son felt at home here at Oak Tree Day Nursery. Creating a warm, engaging environment that caters to each child's interests is so important to us, and it's wonderful to know the themed activity areas and...

Overall, a good nursery with caring staff and a safe environment for them to develop. Our two children have attended with one being neurodiverse, Both have enjoyed the nursery and have been well looked after. A big shout out to the staff. The fees are higher than others in the area, and there is not as much flexibility with the provider, however, overall it is a good nursery and we would recommend it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review. It's wonderful to hear how much your children, including your neurodiverse little one, have enjoyed their time with us. Creating a safe and caring environment for all children to thrive is at the heart of what we do. Your feedback about fees and...
Such a great nursery with lovely, friendly staff that all the kids love. Thank you for taking so much care of my child since she was only 9 months old. We will miss you very much!
What a lovely review, thank you so much! It's been such an honour to watch your little one grow from 9 months old into the amazing child she is today. Knowing we've been a part of her journey and that you've felt so cared for means the world to us. We'll miss you too, but you'll always be part of our nursery family. Wishing you all the best for the exciting adventures ahead!
My little one has been at Oak Tree since she was 12 months old. We can't praise the staff enough. The environment is so nurturing. We are sad to be leaving.
Thank you for your kind words! It's been such a joy to have your little one with us since she was 12 months old. We're so glad you've felt the nurturing environment we strive to create.

I love Orchard House Oak Tree Nursery. My son has developed so much since starting here. The love and support they have shown him has brought his learning and skills on so much.
handovers in recent years have sometimes been lacking and we would welcome more pictures of the day!
But overall a fantastic place! We will miss Orchard House.

Meet the Team (1)
My name is Becca, and I am the Nursery Manager at Oaktree. I have been working in Early Years since 2005 when I got my first part time job in a nursery, whilst studying my A levels. I soon realised that this was more than a job and I had a true passion for childcare and all that comes with it. After completing my A levels in Health and Social Care and Physiology I decided to pursue a career in Childcare. I received my qualification in December 2008 and quickly progressed through the nursery. I worked as Deputy Manager at Oaktree for 5 years and in December 2022 I took over as Manager.
At Oaktree we love to get outdoors and explore nature. We feel that it is important that the children learn to look after the planet therefore we joined Eco schools and have been awarded our green flag. The team and I have a passion for charity and love to give back to the community. We sponsor a charity a year and hold different charitable events to get the families and children involved. We also regularly collect items for the local food bank and teach the children about the importance of helping others.
