Review from Lauren M (Aunt of Child) published on 19 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I highly recommend this nursery. On entering the building the manager and staff are very welcoming. The nursery offers a lot of leaning for the children and also tailers to the children's needs. I have never had a problem with the staff or nursery.

Review from Megan T (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has loved attending the nursery since day one. It is a fantastic nursery which has opened up so many opportunities for my child, they have access to so many different learning experiences that it would be difficult to provide them with on a one to one basis as their parent.

I love how staff always acknowledge the children and think it is so impressive that both managers are able to address all children by their name - that is a lot of people to remember.

I love the size of their outdoor area also, it really does allow the children great access to outdoor play along with learning experiences.

Staff are also super approachable so I would never have any concerns in approaching them if I felt there was something I needed to discuss.

My child was always more than happy since first day. There are lots of indoor/outdoor activities, as well as learning activities. She is more confident with relationships.

Lovely nursery in which my son has settled well in since the baby room. Staff are very approachable and couldn't give any faults to the manager who goes beyond her way to help.

Absolutely outstanding nursery, My little girl is very shy when there are large groups and the staff are great at accommodating smaller groups when she arrives, also her confidence has grown loads in the short time she has attended the nursery and I'm very grateful for all your help, highly recommend.

Review from Louise R (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff and management at Oranges and Lemons Technology Park are second to none. Two of three of my children have attended here and my third is due to start. I have seen first hand the effort and care that they put into each child. My personal experience is that this has had an immeasurable positive impact on my children, in terms of developing their confidence as well as their emotional, social and academic development. The outside space (particularly the mud patch!) is a big hit with my children. The dirty baths and clothes are evidence of the fun my children have had outside. I go to work safe in the knowledge that they are cared for, learning new skills and having fun at the same time. Thanks guys for all of your hard work!

Review from A T (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been attending O&L (Oranges and Lemons) in Technology Park for 4 years. I felt very happy for the choice. The nursery is an exceptional facility, with a big building benefiting from various room themes and an amazing garden, including their own piece of forest (called mud patch). A day in the nursery is well organised, children are busy learning new skills. Staff are well motivated and committed, helping children to achieve their milestones and developing their skills. Great manager, exceptional at leading the team. Thanks for looking after us for all these years. We will miss you!

Review from Kelsey M (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is currently in the 2-3 room and absolutely loves it! She is always happy to go to nursery in the mornings and has so much to tell me when we get home about the staff, her friends and what she has been doing each day, She even talks about them over the weekend and asks when it is time to see them! Staff are always happy, feedback welcoming, polite and give feedback about my daughters day. I do and would continue to highly recommend this nursery!

Excellent nursery, very friendly and approachable staff and management. My son has been going here since 18 months old and thoroughly enjoys it. He is always keen to return the following day. Great outdoor area for all of the children in all of the age groups would highly recommend to anyone.

My daughter settled into nursery very quickly in the baby room and I felt reassured knowing she was happy when I left her in their care. She is now in the toddler room and seems to have settled in there quickly too. All staff are friendly and polite.

Overall Experience

My son is 16 months old and has been at this nursery since he was 7 months old. Can't fault anything about the nursery. The staff are brilliant and talk you through everything about your child's day from what they have done to what they have eaten and what times their nappy has been changed! My son is really settled and I feel he's more advanced from being at this nursery. Also, the food variety for the children is really good. :-)

Review from Lyndsey R (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 2 daughters have attended Oranges and Lemons since November 2015 and we wish we had enquired about places here earlier. We are overjoyed at how welcome our girls are made to feel every day by each and every one of the nursery staff. The girls in the 2-3 room are very kind and caring towards my youngest and the girls in the 3-5 room make sure my eldest is settled quickly as she only attends pm session. The management team have helped me with enquiries I've had about helping my girls sleep all night, special medication etc. A wonderful nursery setting.

Review from Yvonne A (Mother of Child) published on 5 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our sons have been at Oranges and Lemons from an early age and we could not imagine a better nursery education for them. The staff are caring, nurturing and good educators. The building is well set up with fantastic outdoor space which our boys can't get enough of. Their access to learning resources, including technology, is evident even in the nursery's use of an online learning portal. Our eldest attends school in August and we feel the nursery has been there every step of the way in support of him growing into a confident, independent little boy set to take on his next adventure It's easy to recommend this nursery, it has the perfect balance of activity, challenge and experiences to match the needs of every child. All this is brought together with a fantastic management team, who ensure the staff are best placed to deliver a great education and take the time to know and care for every child and parent.

Overall Experience

We have had our 3 girls at the nursery for many years (2 are at school now) and they have all loved it there. Plenty of space, friendly staff. They are always doing fun activities. The outside space is fantastic, and they have a great time playing in the woods "mud patch" in the summer. We've been recommending the nursery to friends for years and several are there now and very happy with it.

Review from Jianli (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my girls go to this nursery since they were several months old. And they are now 4 and 2 years. They both receive great care at the nursery. There's always plenty of variety of activities on going for the kids. They've learnt a lot from the nursery. More importantly, they have fun. They love to go to the nursery. My 4 years-old even wants to go on the weekend!! As a family far away from our original country and with not much support from our bigger family, we always received help and support from the staffs at the nursery. They really are like family to us. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

Review from Libby B (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been at Tech Park since he was nine months old. He is now five and ready for school. Throughout his time at Tech Park, we have seen him come on leaps and bounds. All of the staff have always been consistent, positive, kind and attentive. The food is excellent; tasty, balanced and nutritious. At every age and stage there have been a huge variety of activites and opportunities for our son to learn. He really enjoys painting in the art room, finding out how things work in the construction room, exploring the garden and learning about growing food and flowers, playing in the den and mud patch and being a real wee boy.

Any issues about behaviour have been dealt with promptly and fairly, he clearly has a good relationship with all the staff. We deferred his school placement for a year, with the support of the staff. They follow the curriculum for excellence to prepare him for school and he is loving learning. The nursery have regular parents' evenings and we have always felt inolved.
