Overall Experience

The nursery is excellent - our children really enjoy their time here and have a lot of fun. There are lots of activities for them to do and the food is excellent quality. The app/website is great and I love that we get pictures of what the kids are up to. The staff are excellent and clearly care a lot about the children's well-being. The kids particularly enjoy the garden and the variety of activities they have available to them there. Although it may be a bit more expensive than others in the area, it is worth it for the quality of care.

Overall Experience

Nursery has been fantastic for our child. We get regular updates and can clearly see how our child is progressing. The staff are very friendly and our child looks forward to seeing them as much as their little friends! The food is excellent and we can trust the nursery to keep our child well-fed and watered. They recognised our child's speech development issues early on and this helped get quick support. Our child is now doing much better with his speech.

Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery every day. She talks about the staff being her friends as much as the children, which for a parent whose child spends so much time at nursery during the week, is really lovely to hear.
The menus cooked by the chef are incredible and my daughter really enjoys the variety of food.

As always, the pictures and updates that we receive each day are fantastic. We couldn't be happier with busy bees, the staff really make this place, thank you to all.

Staff are all friendly and welcoming. We have two children with a two-year age gap and both of them come home every week learning new things. Nutrition is always key and both the children try new healthy meals weekly.

Review from Emily L (Mother of Child) published on 18 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Wonderful nursery, the staff are super engaged and supportive of the children. My son has been at Treetops since he was 1 and is about to leave for primary school. I am so happy with the progress he has made with his early education and also his social and emotional development. The staff are all a credit to the nursery with great communication and are always willing to help and advise if needed. Would definitely recommend it!

Review from K C (Mother of Child) published on 4 May 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughters love attending Treetops. They come home engaged, enthusiastic and chatty about their day. The Hippo room staff, who look after my two year old are fantastic. They keep me informed of my daughter's progress on a daily basis and clearly love their job. They are engaging and funny with the children and my daughter adores them. Every day my daughter has some new vocabulary and is really keen to do things independently, something that is encouraged at Treetops.

Review from N C (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son had an accident whilst at nursery involving a piece of equipment in the garden. I was contacted at work and informed of the incident immediately and updated as to the condition of my little boy. I was reassured by several members of staff that he was ok and they would monitor him and contact me immediately if anything should change. On arrival to pick my son up that day again several members of staff spoke to me to update me and reassure me. They also carried out completion of all necessary paperwork. Late in the week on my son's next day at nursery, I observed that the piece of equipment had been removed from the garden. I was informed by management that they had felt this was the best thing to do to protect all children from any possible further incidents.
