The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover

My daughter has now been at The Orange Tree @ Mickleover for over two and a half years. She has received a warm welcome into all three of the units she has been in and developed strong relationships with the staff. There are lots of lovely facilities at the nursery and they are constantly working on improvements and adding new learning aids and activities. Zebra Orange Tree, Mickleover has a fabulous outdoor space The Orchard which is an amazing space for the children to play and learn. We have always been very happy with the Orange Tree and I always have complete peace of mind leaving my daughter in their care. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, quality child care provider with excellent staff and facilities.

Absolutely delighted with our daughters first time at nursery. Previous to finding this nursery we had a bad experience with another nursery at a settling in session. We came across The Orange Tree Day Nursery through the internet. We rang and were offered a look around the next day, when we arrived we were taken to look around all rooms and explained the days routine. Lovely staff with very welcoming attitudes. We're so happy our little girl is settled here and can't thank the staff enough.

Excellent character and notion. Staff are kind, generous and been very supportive. Would definitely recommend this place based on personal experience and have no issues or quarrels in supporting them by reviews, they do a tremendous job.

The Orange Tree Day Nursery has been fantastic for my son and I can’t praise the staff enough. As an anxious mother, I struggled to leave my son and he was also upset however his key worker was amazing with him (and me) and they have now formed a lovely bond. He loves to give her lots of cuddles. His key worker, unfortunately, has moved rooms now but my son has managed really well and has now formed new relationships with the staff. So thank you all.

Regular reviews would be a bonus.

Orange Tree Nursery is a fabulous nursery, I always rave on about it to my friends with children. The staff are amazing and the building is fabulous I wouldn't take my child anywhere else and will be taking my 3-month-old there when we are back to work.

I would like to express our thanks and admiration for the job that you all do at The Orange Tree. Both our boys are so happy with you, and all of your staff clearly take so much time and effort with them both. All of the staff are outstanding, and their key workers frequently exceed all expectations. There is never anything that is too much bother, and an upbeat flexible attitude to any issues that may arise.

Long may it continue !

Staff are approachable and easy to talk to. They listen and help the best they can.

This nursery rescued my eldest daughter from a terrible nursery experience and assisted me with our journey when we became a family of another girl. They then went on to help when we took on my niece as well. So as a busy working mum to three beautiful girls, it was extremely important to me that all three girls were and are happy going to nursery. The staff are all amazing, the facilities are exceptional and honestly, you would be daft to not send your children here!

We can't thank them enough for the time and energy they have had to invest in order for a little boy with such complex needs to be given the opportunity like any other child.

A fantastic nursery in a homely environment. The staff are well trained, caring and have loads of energy! Both my children have attended from 6 months old and have never been anything other than completely settled. The staff always take any concerns you may have about your child very seriously and are quick to assess a situation and provide reassurance or put plans in place to improve it. The Orchard is the most amazing outdoor environment for children to play and learn and the chickens and rabbits as well as Barry the Bird are the icing on the cake! Top marks from us.

The Orange Tree Nursery is amazing. The girls that work there don't just look after the children but the parents too. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds before she started school. Now I use the nursery as an after school club as they collect her from school and feed and entertain her until I finish work to collect her. I would highly recommend this nursery. If I do ever have another child I would put them in this nursery full time without a doubt. Lovely nursery layout and the workers are fantastic.

Overall really good nursery. Staff are always friendly. They must work hard to keep children entertained all day. The building is great and if the work they are carrying out is due to them being slightly more expensive than other nurseries, then it should be worth it.

Excellent nursery. My son loves his time here and I've even upped him an extra day when I'm not working. The girls make him feel at home and always welcome him with a smile as soon as he gets to the gates he runs in. I have recommended this nursery to several people and I couldn't rate it high enough.

We get timely updates and the elog system introduced has made it really easy to see the wonderful journey our little star has undergone and will be continuing at the nursery.

Very impressed with the care and attention Orange Tree provides. Extremely clean nursery, with countless activities. The staff are very engaging and informative and I trust their educated judgment in making decisions for my wee one. I know I made the right choice in Orange Tree, I cannot rate it highly enough.

Love the staff. They really make you feel like your children are cared for and loved while you are away and both my kids love them too. Always give great feedback every day and have a really good structure for the day. Fab facilities.

Such a wonderful nursery - our child has been coming here since 12 months old and our second child will be coming here later this year. The nursery is light, bright and very welcoming. The staff are very friendly and professional and you feel confident that your child is in safe hands and being looked after to the highest standard. The activities for the children are tailored according to age and are varied each day with lots of creative/messy play with an educational element in a lot of what they do. Would not hesitate to recommend.

My son loved Christmas time at The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover, they had so many different activities for him and special Christmas cards were also on offer for parents to buy which I thought was a wonderful idea. Special care and attention was taken and Santa came in with presents for the children! My son was sent home with everything that he had made which I am able to put into his scrapbook! The staff are always lovely and attentive.

Really well thought out setting, great staff, good communication and overall lots and lots of happy looking children! My son has an engagement plan set out for him and I receive daily feedback and pictures so that I can feel part of his day. Lots of care and attention goes into their activities, food, engagement and development. The outdoor spaces are lovely....I can't wait for my little one to be big enough to get out and about in their playground!
