Review from Lauren G (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our daughter has just graduated from pre-school after 3 happy and fun years at Treetops. She started in the baby room aged 11 months and hasn't had a day she's not enjoyed since! We'd like to give a massive thank you to all of the Matlock staff, past and present, for nurturing our daughter and making her time at Treetops truly enjoyable. You've helped make her the gorgeous, kind, little girl she is today.

Overall Experience

As a mother every day I drop off my son and when I pick him up I am reassured he's had a great day at nursery. With an on-site chef who cooks freshly balanced meals. I trust he gets fed well. All the staff are friendly and you can see they are dedicated to the children in their care.

Review from Julia A (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

To leave your child with complete strangers requires great trust. In my experience, not only the key worker and 'Bear Cub staff' but ALL staff know my son's name and show him great care and affection. He is thriving as an individual and developing a great personality and I have no doubt that this is due in part to the support he receives at the nursery. I have recommended Treetops (Matlock)to other parents based on our experience of the wonderful staff for which this job is a real vocation. Thank you for all your care and attention.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My child has been attending Treetops for almost a year now and we have been very happy with the transition from childminder to nursery. The activities are great and the staff in charge are very approachable and professional. There are some excellent members of staff that work with my child, however, there does seem to be frequent new staff/high turnover. I often note the newer members are without name badges/uniform. When I hand over in the morning I would prefer to know their names!

Overall, I am pleased with the way nursery enhances my child's social development and would recommend your nursery to others.

Overall Experience

My Daughters thoroughly enjoy going to nursery. The staff spend the time getting to know the children and care form them on a personal level. The activities are varied and they get plenty of outside time which they love. The nursery provided the opportunity for the whole family to be involved with special workshops for the children to enjoy with their parents and grandparents. The pre-school room really prepares the children for the outside world and for school.

Overall Experience
The nursery is absolutely brill and my daughter genuinely loves coming! In fact, she sometimes cries when we pick her up!

The staff are just lovely and my daughter is happy, safe and comfortable with them. They are encouraging and nurturing and have her best interests at heart. We have seen her develop lots since being in her current class and her key worker is just fab! So are all the staff! They would be even 'fabber' if they made her walk!

Overall Experience
Our little boy loves his time at Treetops, Matlock. He has developed a close bond with some of his peers and the girls who work his room and it's lovely to see. His confidence has developed enormously as have his speech and social skills.

Treetops, Matlock has a fantastic outdoor space and our little boy loves playing outside. He would be there all day if he could. I am very happy with the caring and friendly attitude of the staff at Treetops, Matlock.

Review from Rebekah G (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Generally pleased with the ongoing quality of care and facilities. My daughter loves her nursery days and tells me all about her friends and the new songs and stories she's learnt.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always making time to talk about how she's developing at home and at nursery.

I was particularly impressed when the new manager put on an open evening to meet her and discuss any changes to the nursery. It was a great opportunity to be better connected and informed which we really appreciated.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My little girl has been going to Treetops since she was a baby and has always loved going. The staff in every room have always been really friendly and she has formed excellent relationships with her Keyworker and other staff members. My daughter loves playing in the lovely big garden and digging in the sandpit. She has made good friends at nursery and talks about them all the time at home.

She is excited to move to the preschool room and will hopefully attend the swimming lessons they have on offer, where the staff take them to the Arc on a Friday morning.

Overall Experience

A really great nursery that I have recommended to many people. The staff are very caring and really listen. The facilities are excellent and the children's activities are very varied. My son has been going to this nursery since he was 9 months old and I can truly say Treetops (Matlock) has played a huge part in shaping the little 4-year-old boy he is now.

Review from Amanda M (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son is now in the 2s room he has been coming to the nursery from 5 months old. He has enjoyed every room he is very close to the girls that have looked after him which makes it easier for me to leave him. He enjoys most of the meals. I don't think it's the cleanest place but it's not too bad (mainly the floors) but I am glad they are spending time with the kids instead of cleaning.

I would/have recommended the nursery to friends. I just hope the price stays the same as a single parent I am finding it hard with the increases.

Staff are super friendly and professional. My little boy started there at six months and has always loved it there. He has really benefited from the stage rather than age rooms, and the transition between staff and rooms was handled really well.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 11 months old, she is now nearly three and seems to get a lot of learning experiences and skills from coming here. The staff are always friendly and know all the children by name. My youngest daughter will be coming to Treetops as well, she is having her settling in sessions and seems very happy here already. As a family, we are very happy with this nursery.

My husband and I have been extremely pleased with the care the staff at Treetops Day Nursery have given to our son from being a baby in lion cub room, right through to preschool.

Treetops Matlock provide excellent care for our son and he has developed immensely since starting Crocs. They have put so much effort into the outdoor area recently (cannot wait for some reasonable weather so our son can enjoy it). Would really recommend this facility, Thank you for everything.
