Orchidale Children's Nursery

Excellent nursery and staff, my child will be very sad to leave this year. Very well run nursery always one step ahead with excellent facilities. All staff so friendly. Thank you for all your hard work.

My son has attended Orchidale since around 5 months old and it has really developed into a second home for him. Over the years he has made bonds with the friendly staff team and created strong friendships. This nursery has been a huge part of his life so far, giving him great opportunities and experiences. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Wonderful nursery with an exceptional team. Well run. Couldn’t recommend anywhere else, have nothing but good things to say about this Nursery. If my child can’t be at home they would rather be at Orchidale.

Our daughter attended Orchidale a few years ago and left for school a confident, loving four year old. When we had our son there was never anywhere else we would have sent him. Our little boy is three now and counts down the days until nursery! The team are warm, loving and knowledgable in how to support each child that walks through the door. Orchidale’s environment is outstanding!! Inside and out has loose parts to encourage creative and imaginative play and a forest school that our little boy seems to live in! He is becoming so independent and I can only put this down to the way they encourage the children to manage their own risks in the environment, building his confidence to persevere through challenges he would have asked for help for straight away before. The opportunity to roast marshmallows on a real fire or to freshly pick strawberries and bake strawberry cakes are those that create memories that will last forever! Thank you Orchidale!

Our son has been attending Orchidale Nursery for approximately 7-months. He loves his time at nursery, he looks forward to going and is always happy at the end of the day, telling us about what he has been up to. The staff are all very friendly and experienced. We feel welcomed by them each day and feel reassured to know that our son is well looked after. There are a huge variety of different activities for the children at the nursery. The garden and forest school are fantastic. We love how the nursery focuses on natural play and teaching children independence and confidence building. Fantastic nursery- 100% recommend! Finally, the nursery remained opened during covid-19 pandemics which has been a great relief for us as key worker parents. The support and flexibility of the nursery manager and staff have been fantastic. Thank you!

We can't recommend the nursery enough and look forward to the years to come at Orchidale

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My son gets so much out of attending. The staff are so friendly and helpful; when he has a wobble during drop off. There is so much for him to do and his speech has really come on along since joining, as well as his sharing with other children. The nursery takes the children out on small trips in their new minibus, which I think is really beneficial. It also gives my son a chance to see things he doesn't usually see.

Orchidale offers a fantastic, fun, welcoming and educational environment for all ages. Our daughter has been attending from the age of 1 and has sought comfort and reassurance from the staff at Orchidale as if they were a member of our family. They are always keen to explore new experiences with the children and support there development and growth every day. As well as educational benefits, Orchidale offers great social support. My daughter's confidence and understanding of others has improved dramatically since joining. It is also fantastic how you receive constant updates on the app, so even when I am at work I can see the fun my daughter is having. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to Orchidale. She started going when she was just 10 months old and even at such a young age she really flourished. Her key person in the baby room was simply amazing and so too is her new key person in the 2-5 room. Staff keep us up to date with what she has been doing and always make the time to discuss anything we have questions about. Activities are well tailored to children’s needs and their likes. Tapestry is used really effectively and links to the EYFS so we can see how our daughter is developing in key areas. Food is freshly prepared on site and our daughter absolutely loves it, and often has seconds! It’s always daunting looking for childcare but my husband and I are extremely happy we found Orchidale.

Wonderful Nursery with a great bunch of staff. My child was very well settled and Orchidale is kept very up to date and does not look tired as some nurseries can from being open so long. Garden is outstanding!!!

Orchidale is a really fantastic nursery. The staff are so lovely and amazing at what they do, the children are always so happy to be there. My oldest child left Orchidale for school last summer and he still asks to go back now he loved it that much. They helped him massively with speech issues and getting the correct help he needed. They also really helped prepare him for starting school. I also currently have my other son attending Orchidale and he has created such lovely bonds with staff and the children. We love everything about Orchidale!

Both my children have been and still attending this nursery and in over 5 years have never had any issues at all. My children love the nursery and the staff are lovely and very approachable. I always get fully informed on the day my children have had and always get updates throughout the day via Tapestry. Very impressed with everything and highly recommend it.

My daughter had 4 very happy years at Orchidale and now her brother attends. The staff and setting are fabulous with wonderful facilities and activities. The nursery is extremely well managed and both of my children have flourished in terms of their social skills and developmental milestones whilst at Orchidale. I can leave my children knowing they are being cared for by a wonderful team who are like extended family to them.

My daughter has been going to Orchidale since she was 10 months and she loves it. The staff are very friendly and always happy to listen and advise when needed, they help to progress the children and I love that I get updates from them.

We love this nursery. Our son has attended here since he was 9 months old. He loved his time in the baby room and all the staff there were very attentive, especially his key worker. He is now happily settled into the “big boy” room and looks forward to his nursery days. My favourite thing about this nursery is how much all the staff appreciate our little boy for who he is. Orchidale Children's Nursery was recommended to us and we couldn’t have found a better place for our son. We feel very happy and comfortable leaving him in the staffs care.

Absolutely wonderful nursery, staff are just amazing, mature management team and really well run nursery. The outside space is amazing and my child had four very happy years at Orchidale before going off to school, couldn't recommend highly enough.
