Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has recently started with this nursery and we are so pleased with how he has settled. From our first visit to view the nursery to now, we always feel welcome and we are made to feel like an important part of the nursery family. There is a lovely caring and nurturing ethos which is evident from management, all members of staff and the nursery environment. We are so pleased that we chose this nursery for our son.

Overall Experience

My son has just started here recently, but has settled in amazing thanks to the care the staff provide. Amazingly ran. Lovely staff and all well presented. Professional standards, would happily place future children without a second thought. My son has allergies, so was a big worry not knowing if he would have a reaction to something he was exposed to, but the staff have been reassuring.

Review from John S (Father of Child) published on 22 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Previously my son attended the nursery, and currently my daughter does. I could not be happier with the level of care my daughter receives. The facilities on site are of a very high level. It is clear a lot of time and resources have gone into making this nursery a superb environment for children to learn and thrive, especially the large outdoor areas on site. All the staff have a passion for caring, and I think this starts at the top with the nursery manager who is always there to listen to any concerns we may have with our child and any inputs we have. I am so glad we chose Oranges and Lemons as the nursery for our children to attend.

Review from Jenn M (Grandmother of Child) published on 19 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My grandson started at Oranges and Lemons Technology Park nursery earlier this year. All the staff and children have made him feel exceptionally welcomed and thanks to this, he has settled in extremely well and loves going to his new nursery.
The facilities are welcoming, open, spacious and very well furnished with great attention paid to the needs of the children.
Staff are professional, qualified, caring and attentive and encourage the children to be risk aware in their play.

Parents and carers are always welcomed and kept well informed of updates to curricular activities and policy updates. Feedback from both children and parents is welcomed. All in all, I'm so happy that my grandson is happy and cared for so well while attending this nursery.

Overall Experience
The care, attention and child first focus that drives this nursery setting is second to none. I cannot recommend more highly.

They keep the children occupied in such fun and inventive ways that the children don’t even realise they are learning while they are there. I absolutely love the limited use of screens and the genuine joyful enthusiasm demonstrated by every single one of the staff. Your children are in very good hands at Oranges and Lemons Tech Park.

Overall Experience
This nursery is excellent and I can't fault it in any way.

My son currently comes here and my daughter previously came here. The staff are very friendly, attentive and really care about what they're doing. The facilities and structure to the day are amazing and have really helped bring on both my children in terms of learning and confidence. I'd highly recommend this nursery to anyone who asked me.

Couldn’t recommend enough!

Amazing staff who are super friendly, they all know the kids like the back of their hands and remember every parents' name on arrival with a lovely welcome. Very homely feel and feel happy to leave my daughter here bowing she is well and truly looked after and that she’ll have so much fun!

Staff at the nursery provide a creative and positive environment for the children where they support and encourage their individual development. Children are given a great range and variety of healthy food options which are prepared on site with care and attention. The overall space provided by the nursery is safe and diverse, giving the children scope to explore and learn with caring staff.

My son has grown so much since being at Oranges and Lemons. His confidence has blossomed. He can't wait to get there to see his favourite ladies. He comes home at night full of excitement at all the things he's been up to!

Overall Experience

I can't praise the staff at tech park enough. My daughter has been at this nursery since she was a baby and the support and reassurance I had leaving my baby was amazing, meaning I could return to work assured she was in great hands and learning each day. She is now a confident 3-year-old who loves nursery, her social skills and her learning abilities are growing all the time and this is down to the amazing team at tech park and I can’t thank you enough for helping her on her journey through the nursery. I have always recommended this nursery and will continue to do so. Thank you all!!

Overall Experience
When I drop my daughter at nursery, I feel safe that she is in good hands and being cared for by genuine staff who always show an interest in her.
My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 8 months old and is nearly 3 years old now. She is coming on greatly in all areas of her development and contributes part of this to how the staff at the nursery treat her.

I would definitely recommend this nursery and already have on several occasions.

Overall Experience

Oranges and Lemons have looked after my children for a combined total of the last 8 years. They have helped wean, potty train, take first steps, learn to read and write and most importantly make new friends. The staff are, without exception, incredibly friendly and helpful. The food is healthy and nutritious. The play areas are varied and interesting. It has been the perfect environment for my children to grow into school kids.

Review from Jane C (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery has been the best for my daughter. They have helped her overcome her anxiety issues and have made the drop-offs a pleasure rather than the very upset child we used to have.

They have gone above and beyond researching our daughter's health condition and have even taken the time to sit down with a specialist to understand the condition better. The management team are fantastic and nothing is ever a problem for them. They are quick to resolve any issues or worries we may have and we are fully reassured when we return to collect our child.

Overall Experience

A very friendly nursery, staff are engaging and helpful. Management are excellent, great communication with parents and the nursery is of a very high standard with lots of outdoor space. Nursery is always being improved and parental engagement is actively encouraged from new equipment to growing things in the garden and most recently, the visits from the theraponies. Lots of exciting opportunities for children to be creative and explore new things.
