The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall

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!

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.

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!

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.

My daughter has been attending nursery since May 2016 and she absolutely loves it. The facilities available and the care she receives are second to none. My wife and I are so happy we chose to send our daughter here.

I am always impressed with the level of detailed knowledge the staff have about my daughter; they are very approachable. The smile on her face as we enter the nursery in the morning is all the confirmation I need!

Absolutely brilliant nursery the girls are fantastic with the kids. Beautiful looking nursery plenty of outside play area and toys, my daughter loves it, she goes to after school club most days and also in the school holiday she is even excited to go next week for the whole week. The nursery is always clean and today, everyone is very helpful and if I have another baby I would put them in to this nursery without a doubt.

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.

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.

The building is great and being improved constantly, with lots of fantastic equipment and resources for the children to use. Staff are all really friendly and caring and provide a safe nurturing environment.

Any small issues are dealt with quickly and professionally.

Staff well presented and very friendly. My child loves going to nursery he's always happy and is progressing well. It's very clean and a nice environment to be in. Overall very happy my child attends this nursery.

Definitely glad my son attends the nursery here & already have my second son's name down as I wouldn't want anywhere else

Staff are extremely friendly and personable and make you feel like they genuinely know and understand your child.

The nursery has an excellent vibe and feel, a great combination of learning and play.

The nursery is very clean and the outdoor play areas are excellent.
