Review from Amber S (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely brilliant nursery. We moved to Hucknall last year and was worried about my little boy settling in but the staff here were fantastic. He straight away formed a close bond with select few staff members who encouraged him to play with other children and really come out of his shell. Now he absolutely
loves going to nursery every day and has so many friends who he gets excited to see every day. It is such a relief seeing your child run off and wave goodbye to you each morning knowing he is happy and in safe hands.


Such a breath of fresh air compared to other nurseries which my child has been to previously - the environment is so bright, modern and clean. He really has come on leaps and bounds since starting at The Orange Tree and with another child on the way, I feel comfortable knowing both my children will thrive here. Only downside is that it is quite expensive in comparison to other nurseries but I would rather pay a little extra for the standard of care you receive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Such a wonderful nursery - our child has been coming here since 12 months old and our second child will be coming here later this year. The nursery is light, bright and very welcoming. The staff are very friendly and professional and you feel confident that your child is in safe hands and being looked
after to the highest standard. The activities for the children are tailored according to age and are varied each day with lots of creative/messy play with an educational element in a lot of what they do. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Our daughter loves going here each day. There is so much for the children to do and the outside space is brilliant for the kids to play. The staff who look after her are brilliant. We get a daily update on what she has been up to.

Review from Lauren P (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My boys started the nursery in early January and I have been so impressed with the staff and how they both have come on. My eldest loves to sing and hes so good at so many different nursery rhymes his talking and communication have come on too. My youngest has come on so quick too. He is one very soon
and is so forward in everything he does they have really bought him on with his eating. I love the milestones and challenges they set for my boys, it shows they actually care about every child there and they no exactly where every single child is with this too. They build such a nice bond between them, its lovely to see someone else care about your kiddies and have a genuine interest in their development and care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff and manager are all lovely people. I look forward to seeing them almost as much as my daughter. Every morning, one of the first things my daughter asks me is if she can go to nursery. She loves the staff there, and her little friends. They have great activities, such as; baking, painting,
messy play, role play, story time, singing and lots of outdoor toys. On top of this she is learning so much: counting, reading letters and her name, as well as manners and social interactions. We will miss this place very much when she goes to school. I can go to work guilt free as she prefers going to nursery than staying at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had to drop off and pick up my granddaughter for the first time and I had never been to the nursery before so I didn't know what I was going! I was greeted at the door with a happy smiley face who guided me through the morning drill! All the staff were very welcoming and made me feel at ease straight
away, when I went back in the evening to collect my granddaughter the staff gave me lots of information about her day and they had even taken the time to make me a card which was truly wonderful!

I cannot fault this nursery in any factor at all. My son has been attending for 3 months now and his development and progress is coming on leaps and bounds. He is confident, well mannered and well behaved and I have the staff at the nursery to thank for this. A very well equipped, well managed and well
organised nursery with some very professional caring and polite nursery staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been at The Orange Tree a couple of years roughly when they took over from the old nursery and the owner and staff have been very supportive. My son is very close to his key worker and likes nursery. He has plenty of friends and the staff are lovely. They do plenty of educational activities
with the little ones too.

The Orange Tree is a fantastic nursery and has gone from strength to strength since my daughter started April 14. The staff are excellent with nothing too much trouble and have done wonders bringing our little girl out of her shell and encouraging confidence for her further to develop. She loves it
there and cannot praise them enough.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.986 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is calculated as follows: ( (544 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 552 Ratings = 4.986
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is based on 46 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 160 number of registered child places is 32, which has been reached with 46 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
