Both our youngest daughter have attended Orange Tree, my littlest is still there. She absolutely loves going and is always excited to go. The communication between staff and parents is excellent. They do a varied a range of activities, and I love getting little messages and photos through the day on
the app they use telling me what my daughter has been up to. They also do the children’s daily diaries on there, which includes nappies/ toilet training and what they have eaten; this is amazing because it’s one less thing to have to remember to send each week.

The Orange Tree Day Nursery in Hucknall is amazing. My daughter is always so excited when she gets dropped off in the morning, and all the staff are lovely and so attentive. They take part in so many creative and fun activities,s and it's always so nice to see her so happy when we get our daily pictures
through. I love the app, which not only shows us what she's been up to, but what she's eaten, how long she's slept etc. It really helps keep us informed on how she's doing, and we don't miss out on anything! The food she gets is so good that I'm usually jealous of what she's eating! I can't recommend this nursery enough, and it's such a peace of mind knowing that she's getting the care and attention needed to help her get the best start.

My son has been attending Orange Tree for almost 3 1/2 years since he was 11-months-old, so we’ve been through all of the rooms now, and they are all excellent. He’s always excited to go, which is lovely.
The staff all really care about the children and their development. Their hard work has continued
throughout what has been a really challenging 2020/2021 as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Orange Tree Day Nursery has been fantastic for our daughter since she started. She started during the pandemic, which was difficult for us as parents to make that decision, however, the staff have been fully supportive and have included us in the journey to settling her in. They give regular updates
about her progress and her daily activities and achievements, which we find reassuring. The staff are all so friendly and professional. We would highly recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been attending The Orange Tree for around 6 Months and despite a rocky start he now loves his time at Nursery and loves to go and see his friends and teachers each week, which can only be a testament of the treatment and care he receives whilst he is there. Communication with The Nursery
has always been fantastic whether that be via email or directly with the teachers in each room which made for a very easy transition at the beginning of my son's Nursery experience. The facilities are good and the variety of activities available during the day are also what you would expect. I wouldn’t hesitate in sending my newborn there when he gets a little older.

My son started at The Orange Tree in April 2018 and I have had nothing but positive experiences so far. The staff are friendly and welcoming and always give detailed information on the day's activities. The nursery has been so accommodating when I have needed short notice changes to nursery times. I
am so impressed with the organisation and admin side as well. Most importantly, my son loves going to nursery, he has settled really quickly and as someone who sometimes struggles with change this means so much to me and is down to the lovely staff. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending The Orange Tree Day Nursery for around 4 months. It is a fantastic nursery and she has flourished under the care of the workers, she absolutely loves her keyworker and they have a fantastic relationship. I like the fact that the nursery has different rooms for the pre-school
children, it means they are not stuck in one room for a whole day, my daughter particularly likes the wiggle room which is a large room for the children to do physical activity, the outdoor area is also perfect with plenty of areas for shade in the summer months.


My daughter loves the food there, she stays for breakfast, lunch and tea and enjoys what is served, she never comes home hungry.


The admin team are great and always keep you updated on goings on at the nursery including what the children are working on week to week.

My daughter has been attending since March 2018 and started at just 7 months old. I can see how fast she is developing thanks to the team at The Orange Tree. I have no reservations in leaving my daughter with all the staff and she's always had such a lovely day when I pick her up. I can't thank them
enough for what they do. Professional, kind, caring and I wouldn't want my daughter to be anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Orangetree for a year now and I love the setting of the nursery. There’s lots to do for the children inside and out. As the nursery is set in an old primary school, I like that children have use of the indoor gym for a break from their room and there’s so much outdoor space.
I also like that they now keep chickens which my son loves.
The staff and management are always friendly and helpful, and I have already recommended the nursery to family and work colleagues who live in the area.

As new parents to the nursery, we are very pleased with the level of care given to our children, aged 2 and 3. We feel this is more important than other requirements. Along with this, the girls are very engaging, given in-depth summaries of the day and regularly advise us of things the kids have done
during the day. Star of the day with the pre-schoolers is great. The staff give the impression that they enjoy their jobs. This reflects the great care and attention they give our kids.

My little girl has been coming to the Orange Tree for just over 2 years now, the nursery has been beautifully decorated since they moved to new premises last year and it now offers far more in terms of activities and space. They have been extremely accommodating and understanding when it has come to
my child's medical needs and my daughter always loves the time she spends there.

I absolutely love Orange Tree Nursery Hucknall, the facilities are great, my son attended 2 nurseries previously and I hated taking him until he came to Orange Tree. I would never take him anywhere else he is due to start school in September, so he will no longer attend but I will certainly be sending
my little girl there once my maternity leave finishes. The staff are fantastic, Especially his keyworker, I literally couldn't wish for a better lady to be involved with my child's care!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since the move to the new premises and huge investment, the nursery has gone from strength to strength. My son has come on leaps and bounds in confidence and ability. He has learnt so much - he often tells me things I wouldn't have expected him to know for 3 1/2. The classrooms are busy but look like
fun, the toys are in good condition overall and a nice variety. The gym and outside facilities are amazing and the staff are attentive and well mannered, fantastic role models for the children. The variation and portions of the food sometimes seem limited but my son always seems to be happy! You can't put a price on your children being safe and happy but the fees do seem on the steep side - although not compared to like for like competitors.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We currently have two children at The Orange Tree, one 3 years old (has been there for around 1 year) and one 13 months old (has been there for around 6 months). As a parent, I think you will always identify areas that are less than 'perfect' when you entrust what is essentially a large part of bringing
up your child to other individuals, but overall we are very happy with the experience we have had. Both children are developing well but most importantly are happy, settled and well adjusted. Staff range from truly exceptional to very good; all work with you and leave you in no doubt that they care for your children as if they are their own. Educational opportunities for both are appropriate and in the case of our 3-year-old, challenging and undoubtedly preparing her for being one of the youngest in her class when she attends school later this year. The nursery is a bright and stimulating environment with a lovely outdoor space that is used as much as possible.

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.
