Review from Kevin W (Father of Child) published on 26 April 2019 Submitted via Website
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.

Review from Fiona C (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
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.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 2 years old and she has been given the best care and attention to her needs as possible. The manager and all the team at the nursery really go above and beyond to make sure all the children and the families are happy.

The standard of the nursery is so high, I'll forever be grateful for the care and support they have given my daughter during her time there.

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An amazing nursery for both my kids, they both love coming and see it as a second home. They have both come on so much at the nursery with staff supporting them not only with their learning through play but also with anxiety issues. The nursery is also spotless and the food provided is amazing!

The kids love spending time in the garden and the “mud patch”. They also love the theraponies visits!

All the staff and management are fantastic in supporting the kids and parents alike.

I have previously recommended the nursery to others and would not hesitate in doing so again.

Review from Stephanie S (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been at the nursery since he was 11 months old. Since day one, we have had no issues whatsoever as he was made to feel welcome from the start. The nursery have played a major part in furthering his development through the group activities and one to one time he has with the staff.
My son loves to be outdoors and the fact that he has so much space and activities to partake in outside is fantastic. Each day is a different adventure for him and he absolutely loves the bi-weekly visit from Bella and Rosie the ponies.

It is also very good to see the nursery investing money to ensure they have the best possible facilities on site. All staff are very attentive and we know that we are able to speak directly to either the manager or another staff member should we have any need to.

Review from Nicola H (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery. Cannot praise the staff highly enough, they all make a huge effort to learn all the kid’s names (even staff not directly involved with my daughter) and greet them individually on entering the building. Have found all staff extremely accommodating and easy to speak to. Detailed reports at the end of each day.

Fantastic menu on offer. Play and learning facilities great - especially the outdoor access and more recently the therapony visits have gone down a storm. Five stars.

Review from Lauren S (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 9-month-old daughter started at Oranges and Lemons Technology Park early April and absolutely loves it! All staff, from the nursery manager to the early years practitioners and even the chef, have been excellent in making sure that she feels comfortable, happy, and loved.
The baby room is a brilliant space with lots of areas to explore. I love that there's a dedicated outside space for this age group so they can enjoy the fresh air and get involved in outdoor activities suitable to their age and ability.
At the end of every day, I get a mini written report telling me everything from nap times and nappy changes to what she's eaten and how much. This doesn't stop the room leader from taking time out and talking me through it, adding in as much as possible so I don't feel like I've missed out.

A wonderful place for little ones, run by thorough, kind and genuine people. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

The staff are very friendly and helpful. They look after individual needs. Any issues are sorted out straight away. It was the best decision to sign my daughter up and I think the best recommendations is that my daughter is always very happy after her day spent in the nursery. She always talks about her great day over there and she looks forward to going to the nursery.

Review from Jennifer G (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Daughter loves going to nursery. She enjoys a variety of activities and learning environments indoors and outside. She has lots of stories from her day and is especially proud of her writing skills and ability to spell her name. She is encouraged to be independent but has group time which mix up pairs to foster bonds with other children out with her normal ‘best friends’.

Staff will give a summary of the day but also encourage my child to explain what she got up to. The staff seem to have a good relationship with the children and my daughter is fond of several staff members.

The nursery is a very welcoming environment with a fantastic outdoor space.
The staff are always welcoming, helpful and show a genuine interest in your child's wellbeing. Staff help children grow through a wide variety of learning experiences and encourage friendships.

It's lovely to hear my child speak excitedly about his day spent at nursery. His development and confidence has grown so much over the times he's been at Oranges & Lemons, Technology Park, Dundee.

Review from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very happy with the level of care provided for both of my children. They both love coming to nursery. The nursery always seems clean. Things are well organised. Both of my children have enjoyed trips to the local park, library, shopping. Recently the visits from Theraponies has been very popular. Staff have successfully worked hard to help my son over issues such as separation anxiety and food issues. Now he loves and eats nearly everything on the menu which is also having a positive impact at home. I find all staff approachable and caring. The outside space available to the children is excellent and they are encouraged to be outside daily. I am very happy that I chose this nursery for my children.

Overall Experience
Before my son went to Oranges and Lemons he was very shy and didn't want to say much. After this few months' he not only started to count to 20, he learnt how to behave with his peers. The nursery workers are very polite and every day my son is receiving excellent care.

When I bring him home I receive full information, what he was eating, when they changed his nappy and did he learn something new. I can recommend Oranges and Lemons to everyone with no regrets.
