Review from Ania W (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My Son has been at Oak Tree from 11 months until leaving for Primary School in August 2017. We have been delighted with the care and attention he has received during his time there. My Daughter is also at Oak Tree and I anticipate shell be there until she leaves for school too. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they have loads of energy for playing with and occupying the children. The facilities, including the excellent outdoor space, are great,m and the meals are lovely and healthy too. Thank you!

Review from Vicky J (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 3 yr old and 2 yr old attend. The atmosphere is warm and fun. I can really see the progression both have made since attending, my son comes home every day having learned something new. My daughter is very shy but is happy and confident there. The staff are caring, kind and thoughtful, and take excellent care of the children. They all work extremely hard and create new activities and themes to encourage new interests. They get the children involved in so many things, e.g. sports days, exercise coaches, science classes and eggs to hatch at Easter. The toys and facilities are plenty and clean. The opening hours are very convenient and the food is fresh and healthy. Communication is great - weekly update email, a parents forum and they use an electronic system to upload observations and photos of the children's' learning. They hold parents evenings and ran a school readiness session for parents of pre-school children, with on-going support towards this. They also do a lot for charity.

Overall Experience

My son has attended since 11 months old and is now 2 and a half. He’s been in three rooms and every person that has cared for him has been faultless. They care so much about his wellbeing and development which is evident in his speech, care for others and happiness.

Overall Experience

We can see our daughter being very happy in the nursery and this is all we need! She is developing in a very welcoming and soothing environment with happy faces all around. We are well informed about her day, every day, some times with interesting observations and photos that we can see through the app, which is also a great feature. Overall, I would recommend this nursery, for the people, the environment, the cleanliness, the beautiful garden, the level of learning! Well done!

Review from Rehana R (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son absolutely loves Oaktree and is excited every time he goes and always tells me he had lots of fun!
Only constructive criticism is that the memo sent should be every Monday, the way it was when my elder son was at Oaktree 2015-2016. He also used to receive reading books weekly for parents to read at home too, which my son at the moment does not get.

Overall I am really happy with the nursery, as my son is happy and I have recommended to many people and will continue to do so. Thank you to all the staff for making this a clean, safe and fun environment for all the children.

Reply from Julie Wilson, Area Manager at Orchard House Oak Tree Day Nursery (Finchampstead)

Thank you for leaving a review, we really appreciate your great feedback.

On occasions we have missed sending out our weekly memo and this is something we have now rectified.

The nursery is holding a ‘school readiness’ evening on 24th October and reading bags, with share at home reading books, will be introduced following this.

Professional, well run and well-kept nursery. High standards throughout. Excellent food that is nutritional and without cakes, biscuits. Educates good behaviour into children and sets expectations. Good communications via email that are regular as well as ad-hoc when needed.

Review from Caroline G (Mother of Child) published on 31 August 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We moved our toddler to Oak Tree in March 2017 and are delighted with how he has progressed in that time!

The staff are all lovely and incredibly supportive of our child's development and he has come on leaps and bounds in the time he has been at the nursery.

Not only do they focus on the more academic side of learning through play and more structured learning activities, they also ensure that the children keep active and love that as well as lots of time outside in the garden area, they have an external sports coach that comes in every week to teach the children different sports. My little one absolutely loves it!

The staff are always available to speak to at both drop off and pick up times should we have any questions and we always receive a detailed account of what our little one has been up to during the day, in terms of activities, food and sleep etc. We also love that we can see pictures and development logs on the parent portal and the weekly memos are great!

Review from Kirsty H (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery and its team have an amazing family feel, like a home from home, my son has been so happy and relaxed here, instead of crying when I drop him off (like his old nursery) he cries when I pick him up because he never wants to leave. My son has come on leaps and bounds with his learning since joining the structured and fun pre school room. Can't say if value for money as my son was funded only.

He has such an amazing relationship with a few of the girls in Bumble Bees you can really tell the among of time and effort they have put into him.

Review from Chloe T (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Oak Tree Day Nursery provides a warm, caring and happy environment for my 15 month old son who attends for 4 days per week.
All of the staff in the Caterpillar room are brilliant and he goes into nursery smiling every day. The range of activities e.g. sensory play, outdoor play, music etc. are great and I have seen a huge difference in my son's confidence since starting at Oak Tree.

As a parent, I really like the Parent Zone app and feel that I'm kept up to date with everything he's done in the day. Overall, I can't rate Oak Tree Nursery highly enough!

Overall Experience
The staff are very professional and caring. We always get plenty of feedback about how our child has done on their day at nursery.
The indoor environment is spacious and there are lots of books and toys. Outdoors, the garden has plenty of room and activities for the children.
The food is nutritious and is of good quality and variety.
Communication with parents is good, and we get a weekly update detailing what is planned.

We are very happy with this nursery.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Oak tree enough, my children started in October, 1 had special needs and nothing is ever to much trouble. My boys absolutely love the outside and inside areas of the nursery, it is more like an additional family, not just people who look after my children. I know they are safe and cared for which is the most important thing.

My little girl absolutely loves it here. When she first started there were plenty of tears but the team are so fabulous that it didn't take long for her to settle. Now she goes in full of smiles and legs kicking with excitement. Since joining Oak Tree my daughter has gained so much confidence and developed so many new skills. She's stimulated and well cared for.

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.
