The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover

The Mickleover Nursery has been brilliant over the past year. My daughter has been previously reluctant to go to any nursery, however, the Mickleover staff was/ is so friendly and caring. She now wants to go to nursery even on weekends!

The staff in the baby room are so lovely and caring towards my son. Three staff members have been brilliant in answering the hundreds of questions I have had over the last couple of months! I can't wait to see how my little boy develops over the next few years at Orange Tree, Mickleover.

The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover is a fantastic nursery. Both our children have learned so much and developed in confidence as a result of fantastic staff and a huge range of activities offered there. It is obvious that all staff really care about the children and their development and are always very accommodating and helpful. The outdoor space is brilliant and our children have created lots of happy memories there. We would definitely recommend this nursery!

The staff at Orange Tree @ Mickleover have been amazing with my daughter. They have really helped her settle in and have been working so hard on her speech development- she's really come on so much in her communication since she has been with the lovely ladies at Orange Tree. She is so happy to come to nursery. She really loves the unrivaled outdoor space the nursery offers- this was the main reason we picked Orange Tree @ Mickleover over other nurseries in the area.

We love The Orange Tree @ Mickleover, the team are fantastic and I have no reservations surrounding leaving my children in their capable hands. They get lots of opportunities to do new things and learn about the world. I recommend you to everyone I talk to!

My little boy has thrived since joining the nursery. He just loves it so much and all the ladies are so good with him. They are so loving, caring and compassionate, the nursery really has a family feel. I was worried about him joining the nursery given his multiple food allergies but accommodations have been made for him and he hasn't missed out at anything because of it. I am glad my friend recommended Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover and I would do the same without hesitation!

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Always greeted with a smile and feel safe knowing my child will be going to have a fun day and will be well looked after. I'm always impressed how all the staff (from all departments) know my child's name. The Christmas fair confirmed that I had made the right decision with my choice of nursery for my child, the staff were so friendly and fun!

My daughter is happy at the nursery. She enjoys her time to the extent she wants to stay longer. Girls are nice and friendly. She started just a few months ago and she settled very well with no problems.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone willing to get admission for their little ones.

Keep up the good work!

Honestly; Five staff members have all had such a positive impact on my little girl- I will be sad when she has to leave. But I know that this team are preparing her well for her next adventure in September!

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for the last 16 months and we couldn't be happier. She absolutely loves her time there, always coming home happy. The nursery has lots of outdoor space which is very important to us. The communication is fantastic and the staff are wonderful. We highly recommend!

I can't recommend highly enough.

My son really struggled with being left, and the first few drop-offs were really hard. But The Orange Tree staff have been amazing and worked really hard to make him feel at home. He is now really happy at nursery. I'm so grateful to all the staff for the care he has been shown.

Avoid! Do not send your child here! Absolutely disgraceful and a safety hazard. My child has a peanut allergy and they lost his medication and failed to inform me his EpiPen was out of date despite the medicine cabinet apparently being regularly checked. The manager here thinks she is gods gift. Never met such a rude unprofessional person. We requested one thing from her which she didn't like so she chose to either ignore us during collection and pick-up up or talk to us via our child in some kind of baby voice. I would highly recommend you also read the reviews on another platform from staff who have worked there. It says it all!

Amazing nursery. I am so glad I decided to change nursery for my son, who has been attending the preschool group of The Orange Tree for now six months. During this time, he has formed strong friendships with the other children and bonded beautifully with the staff. My little girl, a one-year-old, has started nursery there too and similarly to my son, she loves going to nursery with a strong bond to her wonderful key person. The staff are extremely caring and dedicated and have become special to our family. The manager is incredible and passionate about what she does. The facilities are superb with huge outdoor spaces, which offers the children a strong connection with nature and lots of fun. Amazing pirate ship, mud kitchen and beautiful orchard. Same enthusiasm about the baby room. Amazing play areas and calm star-lit sleeping area. We are very grateful to the staff for the great care our children receive and strongly recommend The Orange Tree!

My Daughter absolutely loves it at this nursery. From the day she started, we have never had any issues dropping her off, she is happy to walk in and wave me goodbye. The staff are so kind and friendly and bond great relationships with the kids. My daughter has now moved up a class and the transition was easy. This, I have to say, is due to the way they look after the kids. She had an issue with eating for a few weeks and they worked with me to solve the issue and were extremely helpful with ideas and things they did while she was there. She has learnt so much being there and her communication is so much better. they also do loads of outside play time as well, which is great. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

My son has taken to The Orange Tree Nursery very well. The staff are friendly and caring, and the atmosphere created for the children is lovely and calming. Daily activities are varied and my son seems to enjoy them. The daily feedback about how my child has been with regard to mood, eating, sleeping and playing is very welcome. Our only minor complaint is that because there is no designated carer for our child, we have to repeat instructions to different people before they are actioned. However, we appreciate that this comes with the approach of helping the child get along with all the carers, something that we like and agree with. A little more communication between carers with regard to specific instructions would be better.

My child attended Orange Tree day nursery for three years and what a wonderful experience she had during the whole time she was there. All the staff are extremely welcoming, helpful, supportive and friendly. You can clearly see how passionate they all are, working with kids and truly make the children's experience there a memorable one. My daughter had a lovely time at nursery and made some great relationships with the staff members and other children. What was done for her graduation was absolutely brilliant and we will never forget it. The manager and deputy manager are both incredible and deserve recognition for how extra special they are with the children. Cleanliness is superb as well as the food options/quality and education/fun/learning. The orchard is well maintained and a definite bonus to have at Orange Trees.

Our son has been going to Orange Tree for the past 8 months. I was a bit sceptical at the beginning about how he would adjust to the nursery as he was mostly at home, due to covid restrictions. But people at the Orange Tree Mickleover have helped our son to be comfortable at nursery from the day he started. I believe he loves the place and the people in the nursery. I would highly recommend Orange Tree Mickleover for someone who is staying around Littleover/Mickleover area. We have a new born and we have decided to send her to the same nursery. Thanks to all the staff from Butterflies and Preschool. Special thanks to one member of staff, in particular, for all her support.
