Our Daughter has been coming to the wishing tree since the second half of last year and she absolutely loves it. She comes back tired and happy every time we pick her up. She learns so much and her development has drastically increased since starting. We have had great interactions with everyone who
works there, they are all lovely. Couldn't recommend it more.

The management and staff are absolutely fantastic. They are friendly, caring, and incredibly supportive. Both of my children love attending nursery and are always excited to go, which says everything about the fun, welcoming, and engaging environment they create. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Friendly and enthusiastic staff team. Good communication from staff. Food cooked on premises so I felt safe even with my little one's food allergy.
Refurb has been happening the last few months so I'm looking forward to seeing how everything will run when it's complete.

We are very happy with the Wishing Tree nursery, our two children currently attend the setting and our older child has attended before leaving for school.
The staff are absolutely wonderful, caring, attentive and professional. Staff tend to stay, which means that there is continuity and all staff members
seem to know all the children and their families which is lovely. We are particularly impressed with the staff supporting our child with additional needs, they have been fantastic in understanding and supporting our child and making a huge difference to our little ones development.
The food is excellent - it's a varied, nutritious and delicious menu.
Recent renovations have transformed the rooms beautifully and have been well thought out, creating an environment that is stimulating and safe for the children.
All in all we are very happy and would highly recommend the Wishing Tree!

I've had my daughter here for around 2 years, since 8 months old, and the experience has always been great. The staff have all been fantastic and everyone sends to take real care to ensure the children have fun at the same time as learning. There are always lots of activities and a good chunk of time
spent outdoors when possible. The food seems tasty and healthy and is made fresh everyday in house.
Reply from Charlie G, Nursery Support Team at The Wishing Tree NurseryThank you for your review of The Wishing Tree Nursery. We're so pleased to hear that you and your child have had such a great experience with us so far!

Spending time outside learning and playing in the fresh air is so important for children's physical health and well-being so we strive to do so as much as possible. We serve a good variety of delicious and healthy meals to the children which are packed full of delicious flavours.

I am honestly so smug that my child is at this nursery when hearing about friends experiences with their children at other nurseries! It provides so much rich experiences each day, great communication and most of all really nurturing, gentle care of my child. Having nappies and varied, nutritious meals

My daughter has been at the Wishing Tree for two years now and she loves it. She has made some amazing relationships with the staff, she's confident due to the fact they are attentive, caring, and all of them have taken the time to get to know my child. The spaces are more purposeful since the recent
refurbishment.
Sometimes communication could be improved but I can't fault the care, thank you!

We absolutely love this nursery. All the staff are so attentive to our sons needs and have all made such a great effort to get to know him throughout his time at the nursery to learn his little personality.
The staff always keep us informed of what he's been up to, what he's eaten, what they have
been doing as a class, pictures etc which is so lovely to see. We feel like we are part of his nursery experience without physically being there.
It's clear all the staff absolutely love working with the children and my son loves seeing all the staff and has build some great bonds with them.

My daughter has been attending the wishing tree since September 2025 and I'm so happy with how she's settled.
She had a few rough days to start with as expected, but the team in her room were amazing and reassured me so much about how she'll settle in. After a couple of weeks she was nicely settled
and has really enjoyed going since.
I'm so happy with what she gets up to, the food she's given, the activities they put on for the kids each day. The whole team are so lovely and supportive, and it's really nice having the app updates throughout the day. You can tell the teams really care for the kids they're looking after which makes all the difference!

December is always a busy month for everyone, I feel like it is even more so when kids are in the mix. The nursery has been great with keeping up with updates on the usual illnesses that come with winter and doing deep cleans when needed! There was also a cool Christmas Grotto event that took place
with some of the staff coming in on a Saturday for the kids to have fun and meet Santa. Such good lengths to go to and keeping everyone involved. Absolutely fantastic!

I have two children at Wishing Tree Nursery and I think it is a fabulous place!


My eldest has now been with them for over 4 years and the continuity of care they offer has been invaluable for her confidence.


The staff are personable, professional and always provide excellent communication. They

take the time to get to know the children as individuals but also offer a whole family approach and feel very inclusive.

All of the staff seem friendly and attentive. My son loves attending. He has progressed in his social and academic skills since attending. Overall a great experience.


My only feedback would be a real lack of photos although end of day feedback is strong it's nice to see your little one in their

nursery enviroment. My other comments would be that my son is vegan and has ate none vegan things a couple of times by mistake which I'd rather he'd not but I have been told. Some more care on this would be appreciated.


Excited to see the refurb.

Reply from Charlie G, Nursery Support Team at The Wishing Tree NurseryThank you for your review of The Wishing Tree Day Nursery. We're delighted to hear how happy your little one is here and that you've seen such great progress in his development. It's wonderful to know you've found our team friendly, attentive, and supportive. We also appreciate you raising your concern about him being given non-vegan food on a couple of occasions. This happened during times when the preschool children were self-serving their meals, as part of encouraging independence. While we see this as an important skill, we completely understand the need to ensure all dietary requirements are fully met. We've revisited this process with the team and carried out extra training around food safety and dietary awareness to prevent this from happening again.

Nothing but great things to say about the wishing tree, the workers are so kind and caring and they picked up on my baby's little quirks so quickly it was very impressive - things like she likes to play with her hair when she sleeps. They take them for little trips out which my daughter loves and the
food is prepared there and sounds delicious. My daughter absolutely loves it there and I feel so happy she's somewhere that really cares for her.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for The Wishing Tree 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.826 for The Wishing Tree Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.826
  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 The Wishing Tree Nursery is based on 26 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
