  • Orchard House Oak Tree Day Nursery (Finchampstead), Wokingham
Oak Tree Day Nursery in Finchampstead, Wokingham, proudly holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating (August 2024), recognising its exceptional quality of care, education, and commitment to children’s development.

The nursery inspires children to become investigative and curious about the world around them through rich, small-world play experiences. It features a bespoke growing area and greenhouse, where children develop a love and appreciation for nature by growing fruits, vegetables, and plants - which they can later use in cooking activities or even to create their own natural inks.

A dedicated learning library is available for families, offering books, story sacks, and activity bags designed to support learning at home, as well as to help children navigate new experiences and emotions.

The nursery’s diverse team ensures that individual cultures and backgrounds are celebrated and shared with children in meaningful, everyday ways. Activities such as singing and reading stories in Spanish enrich the children’s understanding of the wider world.

Family involvement is at the heart of Oak Tree Day Nursery. The team listens closely to parents and children to create a warm, home-from-home environment where everyone feels part of one big family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Oak Tree has great atmosphere and is warm welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. My oldest son come he when he was 9 months old loving every day that he was here. That's why my second son now goes to Oak Tree he also came at a early age, the nursery can not be faulted, the growth, skills and
development of both my boys coming here has been outstanding and I can't thank the girls enough for all their hard working, caring manner, their skills and knowledge and artist ways off helping my boys grow also for being very approachable and understanding.
My Son likes coming to nursery I tend to normally have a job getting him to go home as he wants to stay and play.
The home cooked food that is cooked on the premises is a hit with my son.
The management is fabulous to, again easy approachable, caring will solve any inquiries that I may have straightaway.
I would 100% recommended Oak Tree to others.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.841 for Orchard House Oak Tree Day Nursery (Finchampstead) is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.841
  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 Orchard House Oak Tree Day Nursery (Finchampstead) is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2, which has been reached with 21 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

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.
