The children enjoy learning through play experiences in bright indoor and outdoor play areas. The nursery recognises and understands the huge benefits that free flow play has on the positive development of very young children.
Every child is supported by a key person who understands their individual needs and offers special care and support to them. Rigorous health and safety and safeguarding policies and procedures are in place to ensure every child is protected and feels safe and happy.

The two to five-year-old room offers children the opportunity to develop skills for life, promoting independence. Children explore being able to cut up snack, self serve and even have a go at washing up.
The nursery prides itself on making every opportunity a learning experience, children are able to self select to develop decision making skills and practitioners use children's interests to enhance the environment, plan for activities and new experiences.

Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery. It's just wonderful to hear how well regarded the staff team are. They work exceptionally hard to ensure all children have the best possible experience of early years. It's great to hear our methods of communication are still working as well as ever during the times we are unable to spend as much face to face time with our parents and carers.

Absolutely outstanding nursery! The staff are so friendly, reassuring and always there if I need a chat or to ask a question. Nothing is too much trouble. My son loves coming to nursery and seeing his friends and the friendly staff, I never have any concerns about my son whilst he is at Oak Tree Nursery; I know he is being well cared for. The staff give off that ‘family feel’, they do treat the children like their own family, whilst keeping professional. My son has come a long way and learnt a lot whilst being at Oak Tree and I really thank all the staff for this. I also love that you can see what the kids have been up to, using the app - which the staff update throughout the day. I know what books they have been reading, what activities my son has been involved in, what he had for dinner (and how much he ate) and the staff leave feedback as to how my son is getting on in his development skills and socially. Thanks again Oak Tree!

Wow! What a wonderful review of our nursery! Thank you! We are pleased that the Famly app keeps our families up to date with what's happening at Oak Tree whilst parents can't access the premises. It's a fantastic communication tool and we love sharing our adventures via this platform. We are so happy that we can continue to include parents and carers during these difficult times.

Oak Tree Nursery is an amazing nursery! Nothing is ever too much for them! Even through a pandemic, they have gone up and above to help everyone as much as possible. My daughter absolutely loves the nursery, she has learnt so much in such a short period of time. Her speech has come on a treat and I really do praise the nursery for that. They welcomed her and she settled immediately. The deputy manager especially is fabulous. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone! For my daughter, it's like from going home to another home. 100% recommend.

My son is 3-years-old and has been attending Oak Tree for just over a year now. He goes twice a week. He is always happy to go to the nursery and often asks on other days, “we going nursery?” It’s such a relief that he is excited to go. He has just started developing friendships, and it’s great to hear broken snippets from him about what he’s been up to. The staff upload photos and write-ups on the app, which are really lovely to see and read to gain a greater understanding of their activities and his abilities. It is also very helpful to be able to check daily what he has eaten and how much. Oak Tree has been great helping my son to gain independence in toilet training, dressing himself and feeding himself. I’ve figured out that he can do a lot more for himself than he lets on at home! The staff have also been supportive in highlighting potential problems - hearing and confidence for example and working together to find solutions.
I highly recommend Oak Tree!

My boy started in June 2020 and has loved it. He gets to do so much, outside and inside play, he has definitely developed quicker being at nursery than if he wasn't. Every morning he runs in for his breakfast without a care for me, which is lovely as a parent! The observations that get done on him are really nice to read through and show his progress. All of the staff there greet us with such lovely smiles, I just know he is going to have the best day with them and feel happy to be leaving my child with them for a day of learning and fun, sometimes quite messy play!

Being an Early Years educator I knew what I wanted to see when choosing a nursery for my daughter. After visiting the setting and seeing the amazing learning environment, friendly, longterm staff and an outstanding Ofsted review it was an easy decision. My daughter started attending Oak Tree around her 1st birthday and settled quickly. The communication between staff and parents is excellent. I am always well informed about naps, food, etc via the Famly app and I love to see the photos they take during observations. The friendly manager is always present and is very hands-on which I think is great in a leadership role. She made me feel at ease when discussing and managing my daughter's medical needs. Despite my daughter not having many opportunities to see other people (thanks to Covid), it's lovely to see the special bonds she shares with the staff. While they have recently expanded and hired new staff, from what I have seen they are already a credit to an already fabulous team.

Since starting in Sept 2020 my son has come on leaps and bounds. What has been a challenging year for all has not phased the staff at Oak Tree Nursery at all. They have been nothing but open, honest, supportive, understanding, going above and beyond, and so much more. My son loves going! We love using the app and it encourages great communication from both the staff and the parents. It’s really lovely to see what they all get up to as activities are posted on your child’s journey as an observation, you can also post your own photos and observations for the staff to see what your little one gets up to and enjoys. Couldn’t recommend Oak Tree enough.
