My children absolutely love this nursery I started sending my youngest at 6 months, he is always so happy when I take him, the staff are great. My oldest has formed close bonds with the staff/key workers and has made loads of friends, will be very sad when he finally goes to primary school. The new
building is very good, one of the best I have seen and the resources for the children are great. The staff they have are very good at helping my children progress. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Lovely nursery lots for the kids to do. My son can't wait to get to nursery he's always greeted with a big smile and hello from all the children and the nursery nurses. He comes home with lots of stories of what they've been doing that day. He enjoys it that much I even book him for an extra day when
I'm not at work. I've recommended the nursery to lots of people now to. It's always clean and is a nice bright set up.

Lovely environment and friendly staff meant both our daughters settled quickly and have thoroughly enjoyed their time here. Communication is good and they both seem very happy.
The baby gym is brilliant in poor weather and our youngest loves the big computer screen in pre-school.
Outdoor space is
being improved upon all the time and there is lots of space.
Any small issues are dealt with quickly and professionally.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my son first started nursery in April 2016 I was apprehensive as I am a full-time mum and& this was the first time he was going to be away from me. However I soon realised he was in good safe hands & if he wasn't with me I feel this was the next best thing. All the staff are friendly helpful &
engaging. It's a great environment for my son to develop & he has made many friends.
Upon entering the premises if you meet any member of staff they always greet you and your child each & every time. The outside & inside have all been well thought out & its colourful, engaging & fun.
I was extremely disappointed my son was sick before Christmas & was unable to attend both the nursery & the nativity but I was impressed that they contacted me to say my son had made several Christmas items & cards so I was able to collect them & enjoy them instead of getting them in January.
Definitely glad my son attends the nursery here & already have my second son's name down as I wouldn't want anywhere else

My daughter loves her nursery, I have been extremely happy with her progress and development. The girls are all fantastic and my daughter really does have a very trusting and positive relationship with all of them. I couldn't have found a better place for my daughter to be, while I'm at work I know
I don't have to worry. I trust them totally, we are very grateful for how hard the girls all work and their positive and fun attitude towards work. Thanks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been attending The Orange Tree for (almost) a year. I came to look around The Orange Tree after hearing good things about the low staffing ratios and was instantly impressed with how homely it felt and how friendly the staff are. I bought my child for a taster session the next day
and he was so happy. He loves the food, there is an indoor gym so he can burn off energy even when the weather is bad and loves playing outside. He has lots of friends and talks about his nursery nurses so fondly. I've noticed how much time the staff put in with him. He is reading already, can write his name and talks in full sentences and is just gone 3 years old and is always encouraged to be himself. I believe much of how content and confident he is is down to all at The Orange Tree. He will be staying until he starts school at 5 years old. This was his third nursery and by far the best he's been to.

My son has attended The Orange Tree Day Nursery since 2015 and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The staff are amazing and the nursery itself is such a clean, safe and nurturing environment. I have recommended the nursery to friends who now also send their children.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
