I would recommend Orange Tree to anyone, our son has loved nursery since his first day and has been supported ever since. I can’t thank all the staff enough for everything they have done in 2020, kids are so sensitive to the atmosphere they are in, and I have never seen anyone’s enthusiasm or positive
attitude waver! I can’t wait for our little girl to start in May and watch her blossom in the same way.

My son has been attending this nursery since the baby room, and he has always been excited to attend and is full of smiles when he is collected at the end of the day. The feedback from my sons day is brilliant, the staff discuss all of the lovely activities he has joined in with throughout the day,
and also share these through photos on my sons daily diary. The nursery is run by an outstanding management and staff team, which are all welcoming, caring and easy to approach. The nursery provides outstanding care and facilities, my little boy has learnt so much since being at The Orange Tree, and I can't thank you enough for everything you do. Definitely recommend to all!

We love this nursery, our little one is so settled now, and every single member of staff is amazing. Since starting in September, we have noticed how much she has developed and learned. It’s so reassuring knowing she is enjoying herself, and there are always lots of photos and updates of activities
she has been doing, which is great.

All the girls have been amazing with my little boy. He has come on leaps and bounds thanks to them. He started at just six months old and is still there at three years old. I will be very sad when he has to go to school this year. They've done an amazing job keeping our children safe during these hard
times. They ALL give 100% in their job, couldn't have used a better nursery. Would 100% use The Orange Tree with my next child. Thank you so much for your hard work!

I had a lot of anxiety to send my little girl to the nursery for the first time, especially because we just recently moved to the UK. She speaks a different language at home and has never been to childcare before. I am greatly relieved to see my child happily going to school now without any morning
tantrums. She is enjoying her school time. The staff and the environment are very much supportive, and I can't thank enough!

My child has been attending The Orange Tree since she was 10-months-old. The staff are wonderful - they are so polite, kind and hardworking. My daughter really enjoys attending, and I feel so safe dropping them off as I can tell she is in brilliant hands. She loves feeding the guinea pigs and all the
creative activities she takes part in.
The nursery is very flexible, which suits me and my partner as our shift patterns are irregular. We can’t fault how accommodating they have been with moving days around for us.
Thank you, Orange Tree, we think you’re great!

The Orange Tree Day Nursery is the best nursery that we know. The staff there are very kind and professional. They are constantly updating us with every milestone of our son’s and daughter’s development. Our children love going there, and they are excited for all the activities. We feel happy leaving
our children to explore and learn in a safe environment at The Orange Tree Nursery.

Where do I start? Not only do I love this nursery, but most importantly, my daughter absolutely loves this nursery. Every morning has a beaming smile on her face as soon as she sees the staff. This nursery goes above and beyond for the children and really do care about each and everyone one of them.
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting this nursery in September, and I can’t thank the staff for this. They have amazing facilities inside and out, which benefit the children so well. Cannot fault this nursery. Thank you so much for your continuing hard work!

My little girl has been attending this nursery since she was 6-months-old and she has loved every minute of it! All the staff are wonderful, and she has come on in leaps and bounds. For a 3-year-old, her speech and confidence in social situations, particularly for an only child, are brilliant, and this
wonderful nursery has helped her in so many ways. I genuinely feel that the staff care for her and that she is safe whilst we are at work. I would also like to add that the support showed during the lockdown, and the speed at which the changes to combat the covid-19 situations was made so that keyworkers such as ourselves could continue, was amazing.
Maty Thanks to you all.

We absolutely love The Orange Tree Day Nursery, but more importantly, so does our son.
The staff are, and have been incredible from the moment we stepped through the door for a tour of the nursery. All our questions were answered thoroughly and honestly, whilst everyone we were introduced to took
the time to help us.
Our son loves the nursery, the activities are educational and entertaining, and he is even starting to try new foods there - something which he struggles with at home sometimes.

My little girl has been coming to this nursery since she was 9 months old. She is 3 in September. Over the last few weeks with the lockdown due to coronavirus the nursery has been amazing with me being a key worker. They are taking all the relevant steps to ensure the safety of the children. Best nursery
ever!

Our two children attend the nursery and they absolutely adore it. The staff are always so helpful and friendly and make you feel very welcome. I'm extremely happy that my children love the time they spend at The Orange Tree and the new things they learn and the relationships they build each time they
attend. Both of them have come such a long way since starting at The Orange Tree, and the staff there continue to do amazing work.

The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Stoke go above and beyond for the care of my 2-year-old daughter. She has attended since she was 8.5 months old, starting off in the baby suite and now currently in the caterpillar room. The girls are always excited to see her when she arrives and you can tell that they
genuinely care for each child that attends the setting, regardless of being full or part-time. There are always activities happening and frequent updates via the EYLog, both from us as parents but the key workers too. My second daughter is due to attend in the next couple of months, and I know she will receive the same great care during her time at the nursery.

My son has been here since he was 8 months old he's now 3.5 and is thriving. He loves his friends and the staff, the ladies are kind, caring and supportive. The outside space is a huge bonus here the rabbits and chickens are fabulous for the kids to learn about.
I'll be sad to send my son to school
as he's so happy here.

The Orange Tree is the perfect environment for a child to develop and blossom. My daughter has attended for around 3 years and the staff are like family to her, I genuinely feel they care about every child and make sure they know all about them. The setting is perfect, inside is amazing, well organised
for the age groups they cater for. The outside has several excellent different areas for the children to play in and learn.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.735)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.735) out of 10 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Stoke is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.735 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Stoke is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.735
  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 @ Stoke is based on 16 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 16 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.
