This nursery and it's staff are all so lovely! Daughter has been in for two years and has a great time, learnt loads and really developed her skills, vocabulary and confidence. Would recommend, in fact, we did and she's just joined with her daughter. We have every confidence in the staff and management!
Big shout out to our key worker who is great.

We couldn’t be happier, an amazing nursery, best by far. Our two sons love it and are always happy and smiling and we always get updates on how their day has gone, no faults or complaints.
Thank you for everything you do for our sons.

My daughter had just started here and she had adapted very quickly, the staff are very friendly and my daughter always talks about her favourite teachers. She does different activities every day and she really enjoys going to nursery and looks forward to the next day. I’m happy I chose this nursery
as it gives my daughter the attention she needs. I would highly recommend it! Being a nursery nurse myself who has worked in high-rated nurseries, I have to say this is a very good nursery. She always has great snacks and dinner and shows more interest in food!

Amazing nursery. My son has settled in so well at the Orange Tree. He is so happy to go to nursery. The care is outstanding. As a parent, it is a brilliant feeling not to have to worry as you know that your child is happy and well cared for.

My daughter has just started at The Orange Tree after previously going to another nursery. The Orange Tree has been fantastic at attending to and ensuring her medical needs can be met, unlike her previous nursery! As parents, this is very reassuring to know she is being cared for by fully trained staff.
Since starting my daughter has been made to feel very welcome by the staff who have taken the time to get to know her and communicate with us as parents.

My daughter started in January 2023 and they have been amazing. My daughter has been a very poorly baby and I'm quite an anxious mother. I feel completely at ease when I drop her off I get daily notifications and pictures of what she is up to. There are two particular members of staff who are amazing
and brilliant at their job, couldn't recommend a better nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves going to The Orange Tree Nursery. She attends four days a week and the staff are like family. She gets so excited to see them. They do lots of fun activities each day. We get regular updates sharing what she has been up to. The facilities are bright and colourful. Lots of
toys to play with and regular crafting activities. My daughter's development has come on leaps and bounds. I can go to work and not worry as I know she's in good care.

My daughter loves going to Orange Tree! She has made amazing connections with the staff, who are committed, thoughtful and enthusiastic. I receive a daily diary, photos and updates on a regular basis and the staff are always around to inform you of your child's day when you pick them up. The management
team are great, they have always catered for myself when I need to book an extra day and have always been quick to resolve any worries or issues. I am always informed about any bumps or accidents through a phone call from the staff and a briefing at the end of the day. My child has made great progress whilst attending the nursery. The indoor and outdoor areas are enriching and provides an engaging curriculum. Thank you!

My son has only been going to Orange Tree for a few months, but his confidence has grown so much already. I am so grateful to all the ladies for all of their kindness, patience and support. My only regret is not sending him sooner! Fantastic, friendly nursery, with lots of learning opportunities.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. They always go above and beyond and have helped so much with settling my little girl. As a first-time mum, I was very anxious about leaving my little one but they were so caring and always keep me updated with how she is doing. They do a wide range of activities
and my little one has come on so much since being at nursery. I can't wait to continue my journey with The Orange Tree and watch how my little one grows and develops! Thank you to all the staff!

My daughter loves her nursery, she is so happy and excited to go in the morning. All the teachers are amazing, and very well-trained. My daughter has her two favourites who are incredible with her. They have such a good relationship which is all a mother wants. I would highly recommend it to all my

My child has been at the nursery for over two years. It has been very smooth sailing, with no issues whatsoever. The staff are always nice, warm and approachable. I will be bringing my second child here as well without a doubt, from our excellent experience with Orange Tree Nursery Hucknall.

My son has been coming to The Orange Tree since he was two. Honestly, I could not recommend this nursery enough! The girls literally go above and beyond to make sure my son is happy and safe. They have supported me as my son is on the Autism Spectrum and The Orange Tree staff have given him so much
time and care. Nothing is ever too much for them. The Managers at the Orange Tree are currently supporting me in getting my son into a routine ready for school as well, so I don't have to worry. The staff just go above and beyond and will always do what's best for the children. No other nursery even comes close in my opinion. Thank you for all the support, cuddles given to my son, the care and the time you take out just to make sure he is happy. I've witnessed this on many occasions when I've picked him up. The nursery itself is massive, with plenty of space and activities for the kids and every where is spotless! I'm actually going to be so gutted next year when my son leaves.

My daughter has been at the nursery since July and since then has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are amazing and so caring and really go above and beyond to make sure her days are filled with fun! She always has a huge smile on her face from the moment she walks in, to the moment I pick her up
and as a parent that makes me feel so at ease knowing she's happy and content in her environment. The app is also great as the staff keep you informed on what your child has been doing throughout the day with photos and keeps track of how much she's eaten when she's napped & nappy changed etc. and they are quick to give you a ring if she's ever had a little accident or hurt herself which is amazing. I couldn't recommend Orange Tree Nursery enough!

Absolutely lovely nursery. My son started in September and loves his time there. He is really excited every day he goes and has had lots of positive experiences already within the nursery. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. They cater to my son's needs for GF so it doesn't feel like he misses
out at meal times. The staff are all great and supportive, the environment is clean and modern with lots of different play spaces. We 100% made the right choice choosing Orange Tree at Hucknall.

I can't praise Orange Tree Nursery, Hucknall enough for everything they do for our 3-year-old son. Their support in his additional needs, particularly around speech and language, has been and continues to be excellent. Since starting in September 2022, his speech has improved beyond all expectations.
He loves all the staff and runs to them each morning at drop off and back to them at pick up!
The wide range of facilities are of high quality and they do a variety of activities each day. A truly excellent nursery and wonderful staff.

These girls are genuinely the best in the business, they are always kind and helpful and always have a smile on their face. I've sent both my daughters here and they have had the best time every day. The management team are amazing, especially the blonde one. All the girls in the rooms are also fantastic.
I can't speak highly enough of these girls at nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.993 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is calculated as follows: ( (429 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 432 Ratings = 4.993
  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 36 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 36 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.
