This nursery is absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. Staff is friendly and very supportive, activities are great and food is healthy. The overall feeling is very positive and my daughter gained incredible confidence in her years at the Orchard Day Nursery.

Having moved around and experienced several nursery settings for both of my children, The Orchard Day Nursery has been the very best. Now that my youngest has graduated, I'll truly miss the warm smiles that welcomed us every morning. She has been so happy here, learned so much, and grown into an amazingly
independent little girl. The variety of activities - from Teddy Tennis and Theater Bugs to Spanish lessons and outings - are meaningful and enriching. The staff are wonderful, caring, and clearly love the children. There's little turnover, which brings great consistency and comfort. The manager is exceptional - working tirelessly and always going above and beyond to give the children the best start in life. Orchard also makes a real effort to involve parents - inviting us in for special events, celebrations and shared experiences. My daughter has thrived here and is more than ready for school. I couldn't recommend Orchard Day Nursery more highly!!

Both our children have been to Orchard and we have been so happy with their care. The staff are warm and caring and the turnover is very low. The manager is organised with great communication with parents and is very dedicated to the nursery and the children. Since she started at the nursery it has
gone from strength to strength including the introduction of various events where parents can spend some time in the nursery. There are lots of enriching activities with external teachers. I love that they celebrate important events from different cultures. Both our children have learnt to recognise and write letters and numbers very early and they have great reading facilities and foster a love of stories. The outside space is nice and big compared to many other local nurseries. The food is cooked freshly on site and is varied with different cuisines. They use the app well to keep parents updated throughout the day. Our daughter runs in happily every day. We will miss Orchard!

We couldn't be happier with the care this nursery provides for our children, and that's largely thanks to the wonderful staff. The team is nurturing and genuinely committed to knowing every child. They're always friendly, and the support they offer is reflected in the incredible progress our children
are making. The nursery is very well managed, with strong, positive relationships between staff and all team members involved directly in caring for the children. It's also flexible and accommodating of our family's needs. We receive regular updates via the app, with observations linked to the The Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, and keyworker meetings are insightful and reflect the strong bonds staff have with the children. Children's achievements are celebrated-whether with a sticker, Star of the Week, or a lovely graduation-creating a real sense of pride and community. Extracurriculars like Spanish, Theatre Bugs, and tennis are great, and the garden is used daily. We feel so lucky to have found this nursery

We could not recommend this nursery highly enough. Our 3 children have all attended and we are impressed every day by the dedication, kindness and support of all of the staff. The nursery manager, goes above and beyond to ensure the children have a variety of stimulating activities and is always looking
for ways to improve the nursery. The nursery is a friendly, welcoming and supportive environment, and the staff all seem so happy and work together as a fantastic team.


The children enjoy different sessions such as theatre bugs, Spanish lessons and tennis, and a huge effort goes into recognising different occasions throughout the year. Any concerns are always dealt with quickly, and our son had extra support with his speech and language from the nursery. We are so grateful to all the staff.

Our overall experience of The Orchard Day Nursery has been very positive, with their warm home from home care and nurturing environment. The staff and management have been very approachable and extremely supportive of my child's needs, abilities and emotional development, which have been the primary
factors in the learning process. The Orchard Day Nursery follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum to a satisfactory level with a weekly review on learning and personal development observational updates.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at The Orchard! It's a truly nurturing environment where each child is cared for with genuine warmth and attention.


The staff are incredibly supportive, kind, and attentive - always going the extra mile to ensure the children feel safe, happy, and confident.

The preschool curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending fun with foundational learning in a way that really prepares them for school, while still letting them enjoy being little.


We also love how communication with parents is open and consistent, making us feel like true partners in our child's early education.


The nursery also offers a wide range of activities, from Theatre Bugs to Teddy Tennis to the Spanish classes, which our child really enjoys!


Another highlight for us has been the healthy, freshly cooked meals provided each day.


Highly recommended!

We have enjoyed sending our 2 girls to this nursery for several years and been so pleased with our choice. The staff are ever so kind and creative with the activities they run for the children. The on-site kitchen and chef is designed to inspire a good relationship with food and we have been very impressed
with the varied selection of hot, healthy food and snacks that are provided. They provide several events for parents and care givers to attend through the year and we very much enjoyed the recent graduation ceremony for our eldest daughter. Our youngest also has some health conditions which the staff have been especially careful with and for which we were very grateful. Our children get up to all sorts of messy play, sandpits, garden time and learning skills like tennis, Spanish, theatre, phonics, play time with a mixture of toys and waterplay. They are always looking at ways to improve the environment and upgraded their garden during our time there, the extended hours are helpful too

I am thrilled to share my wonderful experience at my child's nursery, where my two sons have been attending. The commitment they show to nurturing and educating the children is evident in everything they do.


A special mention goes to the manager, who are simply exceptional. Her leadership shines

through in the positive atmosphere of the nursery, creating a safe and nurturing environment for our little ones.
I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a loving and enriching environment for their children.

My twin boys have been attending Orchard Day Nursery for almost 3 years. They both really enjoy going to nursery and run in happily each morning! The nursery has good facilities with a lovely outside space and a large open plan setting. The best thing about this nursery is the incredible staff. They
are really friendly, caring and nurturing and have helped my boys develop and thrive. They also keep parents well informed of children's development and progress, which is really helpful. I'm so glad I chose Orchard Day Nursery as we've had an amazing experience and will be sad to leave once my boys start reception.

My two daughters went to The Orchard Day Nursery. They have been both very happy there thanks to the amazing staff working at the nursery. They always went above and beyond to make the kids happy. The kids were involved in so many different activities, never a boring day! We also loved the open-plan
arrangement of the nursery and the fact that all the children across all ages could interact.

My child loves going to nursery at Orchard Day. They have developed and progressed significantly developing their gross and fine motor skills significantly. Their social skills and talking have also improved with structured development on both. They are a very independent and happy child and feel comfortable
with all of the staff there. They enjoy all of the food and we appreciate the catering to no or low sugar/salt options. The only improvement would be to keep driving even more communication with parents - we love to see photos/updates and developments and quick and timely updates around any issues or challenges.

My second child is in the under 2s room at Orchard. We had such a positive experience with my elder that it was an easy decision to enrol my younger child at The Orchard Day Nursery. Every day I feel confident that he is being well looked after with love and care. It has been lovely to go into the nursery
for family events and see the clear affection that staff have for the children and vice versa.

We have supported The Orchard since it opened when our eldest daughter enrolled. Our second daughter just graduated this summer and we have another starting next year! We have no complaints at all - the staff have always been courteous, caring and fantastic with our children. The exceptional level of
care is matched by the range of the activities on offer, with opportunities for the children to experience a different language, learn tennis (with Teddy Tennis) and other sports, form an interest in theatre (with Theatre Bugs). We have been thoroughly impressed with the development of both our children following their time at Orchard - they have moved seamlessly into reception at a great school in the area. There's no greater vote of confidence than to send the newest addition of our family to Orchard for more of the same. Highly recommended!

My son has been going to Orchard Day since March 2023 and it has been an amazing experience! The nursery was brilliant in helping my son adjust to going full-time and also great in helping ease anxiety. The curriculum is well thought out and we love that it covers not just learning but also helps children
understand emotions, and feelings and how to communicate them.


Their outdoor space is small but really well utilised and we love that they cater to all our food requirements with care. My son absolutely loves going here and adores his minders and has formed great friendships.


I highly recommend it and would put my other kids in here as well!

My son has been attending The Orchard for just over 1 year now and coming from a childcare background my expectations were quite high. From the first show around the manager was very warm and welcoming and answered all my questions (there were a lot). My son settled in a lot quicker than I expected
and before I knew it he was running in and saying bye Mum! The staff are so lovely and warm, always a smile on their faces and my son goes to everyone with open arms. The app is always updated, messages are responded to promptly and I can see from the photos my son is having a great day full of activities and fun. He is absolutely thriving already and we are so impressed with everything he is learning at nursery along with his confidence and independence. We are so thankful to the staff and the management team for giving us such a fantastic experience so far and we can't wait to continue watching our son develop in such a lovely setting. Thank you all!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for The Orchard Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.826 for The Orchard Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.826

  • b) 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 Orchard Day Nursery is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
