Review from Angela (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

If you are searching for a nursery for your little one - stop right here. From the second we came to view the nursery when my son was 3 months old, I knew this was the right place. 3 years later and this has been proven time and time again. I trust the management team and the girls 110% and there is no question my second son will join his big brother when I return to work. Every nursery follows the same curriculum but I believe the way they deliver it and treat each child as an individual is truly unique. My son skips into nursery giving hugs to all members of staff. I'm sure he would rather be here than a day with me! The food is freshly cooked each day and I'm often told he has seconds. They have done home baking on occasions with the kids! For me what really stands out about members of staff is the dedication they have to meet the potential of each child. Management is second to none and will go above and beyond expectations. I will forever be thankful for the recent support given.

Review from Louise T (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son joined Oranges and Lemons in January 2019. Unfortunately, he was only able to attend for a few months before lockdown, and as he is an only child, I was concerned about the lack of interaction with other children. He returned to nursery in August 2020, and I cannot fault the support and professionalism of the staff, who have gone above and beyond to settle him back into the nursery. Staff are fully committed to supporting the development of the children, and the nursery has a wide range of facilities for learning and play, including a large outdoor space and forest school environment. It’s very obvious that my son loves Oranges and Lemons. He is always excited to go to the nursery and spends a lot of time telling us about his day, the activities that he has been involved in, and games that he has played. We have absolutely no concerns about his time at nursery, we are confident that he is being very well looked after, and as a result, we have a very happy boy.

Overall Experience

My daughter started in September 2020 and being a lockdown baby, I was nervous as she hadn't interacted with other people or children. Right from the visit to the nursery, the manager and her team were amazing and so welcoming. My daughter has come on so well since joining this nursery and would never look back now. Definatley recommend to others.

Overall Experience

My daughter has only recently started at Oranges and Lemons after spending most of my maternity leave together in lockdown. It was an anxious time as she hadn’t spent much time away from me but the staff have been brilliant and nothing but reassuring! Nothing is too much and they are very understanding. My daughter loves going and gets excited when she sees the nursery and staff! 10/10 from me

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.

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.

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.
