The team at Olive Tree Day Nursery and Preschool are truly exceptional- warm, professional and genuinely invested in each child's development. From day one, the staff have gone above and beyond to create a nurturing, supportive and stimulating environment that has allowed him to flourish. My two kids
attend nursery and they both absolutely love it! They enjoy all the activities and come home with big smiles, excited to share what they've done. We are so happy with the experience they're having and would highly recommend it to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently joined this nursery and was a bit reluctant having seen mixed reviews, however, I have to say they have been great with my little one and they have helped her settle in and met all my concerns from day one. I’m so happy to have chosen Olive Tree they have a calm environment and the staff
are very friendly and compassionate. They have done well to engage with me and my child and ensured she integrated well into her new start. The advice given to me by teaching staff has been brilliant in helping me and my daughter get into a routine and feedback from them has also helped me with my daughter. Definitely recommend Olive Tree.

From day 1, this nursery has helped hugely. I am a single mother, working full time. It is a struggle to with a lot of things doing it by myself. I have to say, there are no words that can describe the relief and more, they offer help by being flexible when times get tough, and being understanding especially
with how demanding 'life' and my job can be.
I have put my daughter in nursery before but here they listen. They hear you when you struggle and they will advise accordingly anyhow they can.
Even my daughter doesn't know me the minute she enters the nursery. She's happy, safe and that's what is important.
I appreciate them! Thank you Olive Tree, if only you were open at weekends!

The staff are friendly and kind I'm happy and content to leave my son here. The atmosphere is good, my son loves to come and he gets upset in the holidays. Overall it is amazing, the best. Pre-school activities are well prepared, clean and good value for money.

Review from Sara S (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Don’t recommend this nursery to anyone. I registered my elder son but stepped back as I wasn’t convinced with the management and organisation. I then thought to give the nursery a 2nd chance with my daughter, but this was the worst mistake. On my daughter’s first day, her settling-in session, the teachers
told me to leave after five minutes without telling my child that I am leaving. I found this strange as I knew this would make my daughter distressed. On my way out I asked the centre manager about informing my child and she said they don’t distress the child. This was a mistake as it made my daughter distressed. The next day we buzzed in and the centre manager opened the door abruptly which led to my daughter falling over. She didn’t even ask my child if she was okay or check on her. On top the “owner”, who I spoke to after logging a complaint was dismissive and claimed no one has ever complained about the centre manager, completely dismissing my complaint. Avoid, protect your child.

My overall experience with Olive Tree Day Nursery & Preschool is a very positive one. They have very good routines with the kids. Both of mine have become more independent. The staff are like family to us and I am happy to know my kids are left in the best hands. I always get feedback on how my son
has done (eat, play etc) You also can find all sorts of information on the boards (holiday dates, dietary, children's comments etc).

My daughter started the nursery in the end of September. She adapted very well and she loves the teachers. Over all I am very happy with the nursery and with the care and dedication they give to the kids.
Thank you very much Olive Tree Day Nursery.

All three of my children have been at Olive Tree Day Nursery, all starting from baby room. The oldest if going to reception next month, and I am extremely happy with his development. I highly recommend this nursery as the teaching and learning is excellent, and management is great. They provide a variety
of food at the setting for lunches such as lasagne, meatball curry and fish and chips, and there is a range of fruit and veg for snack.


Additionally, the staff are all very friendly and available to speak whenever needed.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.076)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.076) out of 10 for Olive Tree Day Nursery & Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.292 for Olive Tree Day Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.292
  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 3.784 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Olive Tree Day Nursery & Preschool is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.284
  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.
