Review from L B (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Yew Trees has been a brilliant safe space for my child to learn and grow. In the last year, her speech and moto skills have developed greatly and I know some of this has come from her days in Yew Trees. There is always a wide variety of activities during the day for the children to take part in and a great variety of healthy food. The staff are kind and patient at all time whilst teaching and nurturing.

Review from P S (Father of Child) published on 11 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both our daughters attend Yew Trees. Our eldest joined in 2016, her sister in 2018. We have been blown away by their progress and the diligent caring nature of all the staff. When they head on to infant school they will hit the ground running because of the foundation work done at Yew Trees. We genuinely cannot speak highly enough of the whole nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter loves coming to nursery. She has so much fun. Yew Trees spend a lot of time taking the children outside. The staff are fantastic - you can tell they really care about the children and invest time planning activities for them. We get lots of feedback and the admin side of things is really efficient. A very well run nursery.

Review from Steve E (Father of Child) published on 14 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Yew Trees are phenomenal, we had our first child and after visiting a number of nurseries, the minute we stepped in (alongside our daughter with us) it was “the one”. We noticed that it was really well managed and staffed, had a fantastic atmosphere, the kids had so many different areas inside and out that they could be playing in, good quality kit and everything just felt perfect. We’ve now had our daughter in for over six months as of December/Jan time and love the place. Our main assigned key worker is amazing, a totally lovely person and super qualified, not to mention fantastic with our daughter. We both highly recommend this nursery, there is not truly enough good things I can say! Not to lastly mention, in house food for the kids is second to none, balanced, fresh and varied. Just A class all the way guys, thank you.

Review from Katie W (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

When I was offered my ideal job whilst on maternity leave I was both overwhelmed with excitement and anxiety. We hose Yew Tree Nursery as it came with rave reviews from other parents we have known use it. The staff are everything one would wish for in an early years setting, they are not only competent but filled with compassion, empathy, kindness and love for the children under their care. This, along with a willingness to want to see the children progress independently, emotionally and academically makes for a very special place. I can't think of anywhere else I would rather have my baby!

Review from Holly P (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with the staff, setting and environment offered to my son at Yew Tree Nursery. He started three weeks ago and loves his time at the nursery. The staff are friendly, approachable yet professional. I know my little boy is in safe hands and well looked after. He arrives smiling and leaves smiling (but a little bit tired too!) the day is full of fun and creative activities with great outside areas to explore. Any parent looking for a clean, safe and secure environment for their child should visit Yew Trees. Happy staff greet him/us with a smile and a warm welcome ensuring I leave feeling reassured he will have a brilliant day. Thank you to all the team at Yew Trees.

The team at Yew Tree does an amazing job at caring, nurturing and developing our two young children from the babies room through to pre-school, learning and development is a key focus and the carers continuously go the extra mile. We can't thank you enough for your dedication and hard work.

Review from L R (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son started here following the closure of his much loved first childcare provider. I was concerned at first as its such a large nursery but I shouldn't have been. The facilities are excellent they spent so much time outside play equipment in the nature field, with animals, gardening etc. Best of all though are the staff who are, without exception, first rate. They are kind, knowledgeable, devoted and professional. Both my children have thrived here under their care. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Reply from Heidi Brook, at Yew Trees Nursery

We really enjoyed reading your review and would like to thank you for posting such positive comments. We are extremely pleased that both your children have been so happy at Yew Trees.
