Review from Mel N (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has just started at Oak Tree Day Nursery going two full days per week. I was so concerned she wouldn’t settle or wouldn’t enjoy herself after months of lockdown stuck at home, but I didn’t need to waste the effort of worrying. She settled in straight away, and the team put my mind at ease through regular updates on the ParentZone app. We had a garden settling in session with her key worker which was brilliant, and then four additional part-day sessions to help her get used to the change which was a great way to transition. And since then she’s been super happy on drop off and pick up and has settled in so quickly with no tears!
The team are brilliant at pick up with filling me in on the day, and using the app to explain what she’s eaten, and what she’s been up to. And she’s used to all the different adults in the room which is great.

I would highly recommend this nursery!!

Overall Experience

I have had 2 children at Oak Tree Nursery from the first day I felt secure with my baby at nursery. I felt my childs need were paramount. During Covid the advice and support was excellent to get us all back to work and providing a safe environment for the children. Preschool has prepared my child really well for school and given her the confidence to go to school and has given her the skills for the next stage.

Overall Experience

I really believe that Oak Tree has been the best decision for my daughter. She has been in Caterpillars and Ladybirds and is now in the process of transitioning to Bumblesbees. She is incredibly happy and absolutely loves coming into nursery. She has a wonderful relationship with her keyworker and the whole team encourages and supports her quirky interests and personality. We love Oak Tree.

Overall Experience
Having our child attend this day nursery has been an absolute dream. The ladies are so attentive and genuinely caring for each child. It feels like we are part of an extended family. Now that my son is moving onto to reception there is so much sadness to leave this nursery behind.
Meals were well thought out and there was good variety. The garden is fabulous and the children absolutely love it. All the games, books and activities are well thought out and my son enjoyed his day at the nursery, every day.
Safety measures in place for Covid-19 provide good peace of mind, whilst keeping the children's' best interests and mental well-being in mind.

My son has attended 4 different nurseries in his life and none can even compare to Oak Tree Day Nursery. Simply Amazing!

Review from Manoj D (Father of Child) published on 15 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Finchampstead branch is fantastic. My son has been with the Nursery 4 days a week, full days, for over 3 years and has just finished and started school. They really understood how to help take care of him through the years and are incredibly supportive and caring. My son has developed into a proud young boy, who is confident with speech, numbers, alphabet, social interaction and a whole host of other skills. He has developed a great personality and has always enjoyed visiting the nursery daily. Food provided is all cooked fresh on-site and the menu daily is very good, they also to take into account any dietary requirements.

I highly recommend the nursery and staff who have helped my son, enjoy his early years and is now clearly demonstrating his school readiness. Thank you Oak Tree!

Overall Experience

My daughter has gone to Oak Tree since she was a baby. She loves it, always dying to get out of the car when we pull up and sometimes I don’t even get a goodbye as she’s eager to get into The bumblebees room. She has formed great relationships with the children and the staff in the nursery and always talks about the staff in the car on the way home. The staff at Oak Tree are so friendly and always make the effort to tell me about my daughters day and what foods she has eaten. They keep me informed of her progress and I love that they take photos for me to see what she gets up to. I can’t recommend Oak Tree enough.

Overall Experience

I have had at least one of my three children at Oaktree for the past 7-years. The staff are exceptional - they are professional and caring, and make each child feel special, and the parents part of their child’s experience. I have particularly been impressed with the way Oaktree has handled the current virus situation and welcomed the children back. My children have always been very happy at Oaktree, and I couldn’t recommend the nursery more to prospective parents.

Review from Nathalie H (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I chose this nursery for my son due to the warmth and detailed information given by the staffing on our show round. Since then I have continued to be overwhelmed by the exceeding of expectations with everything this nursery has to offer.
My son settled very quickly and loves attending daily. I feel so happy and reassured at how much my son loves it.
The nursery and its staffing and communication feels like a family set up. We feel very included as a family and reassured with everything my son experiences.

The communication and approach around the covid situation and follow up has exceeded all my expectations around the professionalism, expertise and operation of a top of its class daily function. It is by far and above the best I have seen when comparing to my friend's children's nurseries and I am so happy and proud that my son has the privilege of attending Oak Tree.

Review from Victoria M (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Oak Tree Day Nursery for the past year, he has been in bumblebees and now is in Pre School.
The care my son receives is outstanding and he has always been very happy there. He has a varied diet, eats really well and is always eager to try new foods. He has made some lovely friends and is very attached to his key worker and the whole preschool team. He knows every member of staff and they all know him, he is never ignored and they encourage his curiosities and active nature.
The Manager has always been a pleasure to deal with and no matter how busy she is, she always has time for you and will go above and beyond to help.

I highly recommend Oak Tree Day Nursery!

Review from Sarah-Jane (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We would like to thank the staff at Oaktree for helping our daughter feel more settled at nursery in the last two weeks. Our daughter has become very unsure and afraid of other people during lockdown and was very upset when she first returned to nursery last week. The staff kept in touch with me and let me know that she was doing really well and each time she attends she settles really quickly now. These are strange times and the nursery has been fantastic at giving us ideas for activities whilst stuck at home and being really supportive for returning when parents are ready to do so. I have always been really happy with Oaktree and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for high quality, considered childcare at any age.

Such a great team, my baby always seems so happy to go to the nursery and never wants to leave. She's come on leaps and bounds since starting and I have no doubt it's because of the team.

Since both of my children starting nursery in June 2019, they have grown in confidence and have come on in leaps and bounds with their development. All the staff are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. My children are so happy coming to nursery and always talk about how much fun they have had. Would 100% recommend.

The nursery is fantastic, we have a four year old and a 1 year old attending and they have the best time!

I can't speak highly enough of all the staff, it has a great atmosphere and the children are clearly thriving. I would recommend this nursery to anybody and I'm extremely happy with the care my children receive.

Review from Natalie H (Mother of Child) published on 8 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We’ve been with Oaktree for 6 years now - our eldest daughter attended from 14 months 'til she started school and our youngest is now in her second year of 4.
Both our girls have been extremely happy at Oaktree and despite a house move we have chosen to continue to keep our girls where they’re happy and settled. We’ve known some of the ladies who work there for as long as we’ve been going and they are so caring, thoughtful and attentive to our girls.
I would highly recommend Oaktree - our girls have thrived during their time there and it was a brilliant pre-cursor to school. Lots of learning through play opportunities, lots of focus and attention to each child and an ultimate focus on the happiness of that child which is paramount!

We’ll be sad when it’s our time to leave!

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Oak Tree Day Nursery since May 2017 and he truly loves it there. He's started in Caterpillars when he was 9 months old and then transitioned to Ladybirds when he was around 16 months old where he is absolutely thriving with the fun exciting environment and activities he gets to take part in. He absolutely LOVES the garden and would spend all day every day out there if he could! He has lots of little friends and really enjoys telling me all about his day when I pick him up. His speech is coming on leaps and bounds and I love seeing his confident cheeky character develop with a lot of thanks to all the lovely staff at Oak Tree. I couldn't recommend this place more highly!

Overall Experience

My baby started at Oak Tree when he was only 6 weeks old. I was so worried at the beginning of him starting nursery at that early age but he settled really well. The staff at Oak Tree are always cheerful and caring.they always write a not to inform me how many feeds he had, his naps and their observations to him during the day. I really liked the parent zone app as it shows me the photos of my baby and his progress every day especially with the professional assessment comments. Thanks so much to all staff at Oak Tree for loving, caring and hard work. Thanks to management for the quick response to any emails. I highly recommend Oak Tree.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Oak Tree since the age of 9 months and has just gone up to preschool at the age of 3. She has grown and developed so much since starting at the nursery and has made so many friends and loves the team. The staff are always attentive and friendly, and I always receive a detailed report when picking her up of how she has spent the day and the fun she has had! The facilities are fantastic, and the office team are always helpful and informative and give me the flexibility to book extra sessions whenever needed.

Review from Emma B (Mother of Child) published on 23 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter currently attends pre-school at Oak Tree, having recently progressed from the Bumblebees room. Since she started in the spring, she has settled in beautifully and I couldn't be happier with her progress and her learning. She absolutely adores it here and has formed close bonds with a lot of the staff here, especially her key workers. The facilities are wonderful and my daughter especially loves the garden and outdoor space. I think their golden values are fantastic, as is the care she receives. The staff are always very friendly and I always feel informed of how my child's day at nursery has been, what she has learnt, how she has played etc. I couldn't recommend Oak Tree more highly!

Rebecca Rowland Job Title: Nursery Manager
Rebecca Rowland

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.
