Lovely Nursery with kind and helpful staff. My daughter has been attending for the last 2 years and thoroughly enjoys going. She engages well with the staff and other children and always comes home happy. They are always so helpful when I have had any queries too. I would 100% recommend to anyone.
Reply from Tracy Green, Owner at Oakland Lodge Day NurseryThank you for your very kind review, we are so pleased that you love what we have to offer. It is a pleasure watching your little girl grow in kindness and confidence! It is a pleasure to care for her. Thank you. All the Mulberry Bush Team

Amazing staff, been so helpful with our boy, put so much effort and work with him to get on track with his speech, always polite and friendly. Nursery overall well equipped and planing/making new and exciting activities for kids every day. There is no comparison between mulberry bush and previous nursery
he was attending. Can't fault in anyway, just great.
Reply from Tracy Green, Owner at Oakland Lodge Day NurseryThank you so much for your kind words! It is a pleasure to watch your son grow and learn with us, and we are very pleased you chose our nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have experience of 3 other nurseries in the past 5 years and none are as good as here. Fantastic, professional management and their staff genuinely seem to like my child. I completely trust them with him and feel they handle all family issues very well. The only things I would change, if possible,
would be: to make the menu more vegetarian-friendly. To have berries room less busy. To use less plastic/be more environmentally friendly - but I appreciate this is tricky in a nursery setting. To lose the alarm on the door, I'd say this was the worst part of our entire experience! (Which says a lot.) It would also be nice to be able to come into the nursery more on the occasional drop-off, to see the rooms. Despite those minor things, the care of my son has been outstanding. Any matters dealt with swiftly and ensuring I am supported and happy with his care. The staff seem happy and cared for and I would use again without question. They cost more than other settings but it's worth it!
Reply from Tracy Green, Owner at Oakland Lodge Day NurseryThank you so much for your kind words, we feel incredibly lucky to have your child here with us at The Mulberry Bush Nursery. Our nursery chef caters for a number of different dietary requirements and preferences, although we do not have a separate menu, each meal is carefully tailored to each child's preference/allergy, which we continue to work closely with our chef to create. We're unable to lose the alarm door as this is another way of us to ensure the safety of the children is always met, however, we do understand this is incredibly loud. Please keep an eye out for any of our special events such as parents' evening, Mother's Day stay and play etc. which we would love for you and your son to attend. Again, thank you, your kind words really do mean a lot.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wouldn’t send my son anywhere else than The Mulberry Bush Nursery! They are so caring and clever with the range of activities they put on for the little ones and everyone is so charming. My son loves going in every day and sometimes doesn’t want to leave. They encourage sharing, being kind to one
another, learning inside and the outdoors too and fostering a real sense of creativity. The meals they put on are healthy and varied and I’m often envious when I look at the weekly menu on a Monday morning. The app is wonderful so you can see what the children did over the day, including photographs and important milestones. I often ask the nursery for advice on things as I’m a single mother of one and they are incredible at supporting me as well as my child. I have complete peace of mind taking my son to nursery, he is safe and loves every minute of it - I thoroughly recommend it!

The Mulberry Bush is an outstanding nursery. We’ve been overwhelmed by how wonderful the staff are and our youngest thoroughly enjoys all his time at the setting. He’s been there almost a year and everyone is so accommodating. He comes home and tells us all about his day and has made some wonderful
friends. He will be off to big school next year and I know he will miss everyone, but I have great confidence he will be very well prepared ready for his next adventure. Thank you to all at the Mulberry Bush.

I would highly recommend this nursery; it is a lovely setting, and the staff are brilliant, very caring and really go above and beyond. The activities are excellent, always varied, fun and educational. My children love coming to the nursery, and it has really helped their confidence, speech and development
in all areas. They have built a great relationship with their keyworker, and I love the feedback from staff at the end of the day and on the app showing what they have been doing at the nursery. I can not recommend this nursery enough.

Nursery has provided both our children with a home from home experience. The care and attention to learning is tailored to the children who they know so well to engage and stretch them on a daily basis. Our children have loved attending nursery as staff are welcoming and interested in their little lives
outside of nursery too.
Reply from Tracy Green, Owner at Oakland Lodge Day NurseryThank you for your lovely comments. It has been a pleasure to be part of your children's learning and lives both inside and outside of the nursery. This plays such a relevant part in their interests and development. Thank you.

The Mulberry Bush Nursery is just fantastic. Our daughter started at age 1, and in just under a year at the nursery, she is a very confident and caring little girl. This is credit to all the team. Our daughter loves going to nursery and we know she is well looked after. We would recommend to anyone
looking for childcare.
Reply from Tracy Green, Owner at Oakland Lodge Day NurseryThank you for your lovely comments, we are thrilled your daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the Baby Room and has already developed into a confident, happy little girl and you are confident with our care. It has been great fun looking after her.

My husband and I are extremely happy with the care we have received for both our children since 2019.
All the staff are very friendly and willing to help in any way.
The different range of activities for all the children in all 3 rooms are excellent and really help them to develop. I would be more
than happy to recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has been attending the Mulberry Bush Nursery for 2 years and we have seen her developing well under the supervision and care of those who work there. We are confident that her social and academic skills would not be at the level that they are now had she not attended.

Both my children have attended this nursery since the age of 9 months old so they have experienced all three wonderful rooms which have been carefully designed to ensure they are age appropriate. I feel confident that my daughter is safe whilst having a fun time with her friends alongside learning and
preparing her ready for school. My son is now at school but occasionally comes back here for Holiday Club which he really enjoys. Homecooked food cooked on site and wonderful staff who build a great relationship with the child and parents.... what more can you ask for?
I honestly think this is the best nursery in our area and I recommend it to all my friends to whom agree and have signed their children up.
Reply from Tracy Green, Owner at Oakland Lodge Day NurseryThank you for your lovely comments, it has been a great pleasure to watch both of your children grow and develop through nursery and onto school. It's wonderful to have the opportunity to welcome your son back in the holidays. Thank you for all of your recommendations, we really do appreciate your support.

Our son loves Mulberry Bush Nursery. He is one and attends four days a week, which I was concerned about leaving him so often at his age but he absolutely enjoys going and has such fun when there. The staff take such good care of him and they do activities and sensory, exploratory play that I would
never imagine doing. He has developed mentally and physically since attending. One of the things I love is getting his daily updates via the parent app. I don't feel I miss out then. Another great addition is the home-cooked meals they have. It is so nice not to worry about packing lunch for him.

The Mulberry Bush is an excellent nursery and one I would highly recommend to anyone. My first child began attending in 2015 and I still have one child who currently goes twice a week. The care my children have received has been outstanding, and you can tell how much the staff care about the wellbeing
and happiness of every child. When my first child left, they were desperate to be allowed back to attend the holiday clubs. The activities on offer are extensive and my children especially love(d) all of the outdoor spaces and equipment, and the quality and range of food given to the children is also really good. I have been impressed by the management and communication from the nursery as well - both before and during the pandemic when we received regular and very clear information. This nursery is definitely worth a visit to meet the staff and find out more.
Reply from Tracy Green, Owner at Oakland Lodge Day NurseryThank you for your lovely feedback, we are thrilled you and your children love the nursery, staff, care, learning and facilities. It has been a pleasure to look after your children.

The Mulberry Bush has such a warm environment for the children. The staff are so passionate and caring, they build a very trusting relationship with the children and parents and they cater for the individual needs/characters. My son has been there for 2 and a half years, 5 days a week, and loves going.
They have so many activities set up throughout the day - no two days are the same. My other son ‘graduated’ a year and a half ago and still talks so fondly of the staff and place. Would never hesitate to recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.423)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.423) out of 10 for Oakland Lodge Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.914 for Oakland Lodge Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.914
  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 3.509 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oakland Lodge Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.259
  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.
