My little boy looks forward to going to nursery every day! He absolutely loves it.
Ever since we started taking him, it's been evident that his development has come on leaps and bounds.
The team are incredibly caring and only wants the best for the kids.
We love The Orchard Day Nursery. Thank you,
team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Our experience at The Orchard Day Nursery has been genuinely exceptional. Our son eagerly anticipates each day, thanks to the nurturing atmosphere and engaging activities provided. The staff's unwavering dedication to his growth and open communication with us has been invaluable. The well-maintained
outdoor spaces offer excellent learning opportunities. In every aspect, The Orchard has far exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to other parents seeking an outstanding nursery.


Thank you to the whole team

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

We are delighted with The Orchard Day Nursery. Our daughters have attended (one still is) this wonderful place and it has exceeded our expectations. The staff genuinely care about the well-being and development of the children. Our daughters feel safe, loved and valued there. We are really happy as
well with how accommodating the nursery is with parents, providing certain flexibility and facilitating pick-ups and drop-offs. We would highly recommend this nursery.

No need to look any further! This nursery has it all! My son has been at The Orchard Day Nursery since March 2021 and my daughter was there since April 2018. We have got to know many members of staff who work here and all have been so kind, encouraging and such a support for my 2 children. The open
plan aspect to the nursery is wonderful and it feels very inclusive amongst the different age groups. The meals are all freshly cooked by a wonderful chef and we receive daily updates to say that our son has eaten everything (and extra helpings!). The manager is super friendly and approachable and any queries are always quickly answered. I definitely can’t fault anything and myself and my husband feel very happy and grateful that our 2 children have been given such a positive start in life. Thanks, Orchard!

The Orchard Day Nursery goes above and beyond for every child in their care. The staff there put us at ease from the outset and tailor-made the settling-in stage to match the needs of our child. It is a warm, nurturing environment and I can’t recommend it enough. Our child is so happy here.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery. Our kids have gone to The Orchard Day Nursery from the baby class all the way up to preschool and they love it. They love the activities and care and they have a wonderful garden. The staff are loving and caring while teaching the kids good manners, values and
how to focus on activities. The food is fantastic and kids are taught to be increasingly independent.
I would strongly recommend it. Teachers and management are incredibly professional.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 6 months old. The staff are amazing, friendly, caring and supportive. He has always been extremely happy to go to the nursery and I can see how being there has helped him develop his social skills.
The management is quick to respond to communication and
they are extremely flexible and accommodating.
The food is amazing with a balanced diet with lots of variety.
The activities are good and creative, however, could benefit from more variety in the under 2s room.
We regularly receive reports about progress with pictures, so that we always know what our son is doing during the week and where he is in his development journey.
I would definitely recommend it!

We love Orchard Day Nursery. Our child has been there since the 2-3's room and now in pre-school. The carers and educators are kind, helpful, optimistic and fun. The nursery has lots of activities, covers key events of the year and is very open and inclusive in its syllabus. I am constantly in awe at
how much our child has learnt, the growth in their development/skills and what they come home to share about their day. I've met like-minded families and it's a wonderful community to be a part of. The facilities have also recently been refurbished, such as the outdoor garden and there is a chef on-site for food/the kids' menu. The location is very convenient to transport and nearby amenities. I would highly recommend the nursery to any family looking, I am very happy we made the decision to go there!

Our son has been at the nursery for a year and a half, and we have had no problems whatsoever. The staff have always been enthusiastic and caring. Our son clearly learns lots of fun things that we couldn't reach him at home. The meals are healthy, and they have a good outside play area. The manager
is prompt with admin. I would highly recommend The Orchard Day Nursery.

Both my children went to Orchard Day nursery with my youngest still attending. The staff are incredibly kind and caring with a low turnover, which is unusual for the industry but excellent for children because they grow up seeing the same faces and having their needs met. The technology is so good and
I feel a part of my child’s day. I feel that the prices are fair and the staff are so good with the children who do such a wide variety of activities, from yoga and mindfulness to tennis and written learning. The food is also excellent! Personally, I feel that the nursery have excellent staff and the chef is excellent! The nursery is open plan and everything is clean. I know because my child’s socks aren’t horrifically dirty after a day in them!

The Orchard Day Nursery is an incredibly warm and happy place. It is a lovely open plan setting with great facilities but the dedication and level of care from their staff is its greatest strength. They are highly motivated, knowledgeable and kind which creates a very warm and supportive environment.
My son had SEN issues and the work the nursery did with him and the support they gave us, was highly appreciated. Included in my praise of the staff, is the chef who is amazing and the children are very lucky!

We have had a very good experience with the nursery for both of our children who are in different age groups. Generally speaking, the staff are attentive to the children's well-being and invested in their development. We feel that the learning experience is personalized and well balanced. The staff
are also very friendly and caring. We really can't ask for more! Both the staff and the management are great at communicating with us and always available to hear about our concerns and reassure us. The app is also a great tool that provides us with a glimpse of what the kids are up to at nursery and they are always up to great things! We are happy with the variety of activities offered including the tennis/football and French classes. Management is very involved in the kids' wellbeing as well as evidenced by the links and attachments formed between the kids and the manager. Lastly, we greatly appreciate that the nursery opens so early in the mornings and is open all year round.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for The Orchard Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.809 for The Orchard Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.809
  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 Orchard Day Nursery is based on 24 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 24 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.
