Review from Fiona C (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has been at the nursery since the age of 1 and is now 4.
The staff did change a little at the start of our time there, but my child has had the same key worker more or less since the start and absolutely adores her. She has created strong bonds with other teachers and children there.
The
current management team is good, receptive to ideas and comments and takes the time to listen to parent's concerns.
I am particularly pleased with the curriculum and the fact that the food is made from scratch on-site. It's always healthy, seasonal and varied. The children are also sometimes involved in cooking classes.
There are a variety of activities available for children attending, including sports, drama and languages, although mostly in the morning.

Review from Karen C (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been here since age 1. The staff have done wonders in improving his speech, which was delayed, and his confidence is at a high. SENCO policy clearly discussed at parents evenings. He is always happy and full of chat at pick up. The staff clearly know the children well, and that comforts me
as a parent. The activities are varied, and ones that my son looks forward to. I particularly like the emphasis on getting the kids outdoors - bring along suitable outdoor clothes, and out they go!
Special events, which parents can attend, are always fun, and other family members are welcome.
The food is great, and the kitchen is open plan so the kids can see the chef working, and interact with him. This has really inspired my now-preschooler, who enthusiastically wants to help me cook each day.
My son had a few months where he was upset at drop off, but the staff dealt with it calmly and swiftly, and my smiling little boy was there at pick up, having had a great day.

Review from K V (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter started at The Orchard Day Nursery 8 months ago, after moving from another country. Thanks to the care and patience of the teachers, she has settled well and her English has improved quickly.
What I like also is that the nursery is open plan which allows kids to see children of other age
groups. All the classes are organised around the kids and chef’s kitchen which gives a homely feeling to the setting. The meals are cooked on-site and of great quality.
The garden is also practical, fit for purpose, and quiet, away from cars and noise.
Management has been responsive to our queries and supports the families really well.

Our son has been attending Orchard Day since he was about 18 month's old. Now 4, he enjoys attending the nursery and has made a lot of friends there. He is happy, confident and engaged and this is all down to the staff. Particularly his care worker but everyone at the nursery has made him feel welcome.
It is a fun, active and educational environment and he has enjoyed and continues to learn new things every week. We are very happy with our experience and would recommend the nursery.

Review from Ahmad (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall this nursery gives me peace of mind that I'm leaving my daughter in safe hands, the staff are very friendly and caring towards all children. They adapt to every need and personality of the children. For example, my daughter is more a talker than walker so they've helped her advance in both to
make sure she is getting the best for her age. The food is excellent, and she eats a lot, more than when she comes home. The fact that the food is fresh is a big plus about this nursery and its open plan, so the babies/infants can see the kitchen and smell the food, this makes a huge difference. This is definitely one of the huge factors I liked this nursery. The biggest factor about this nursery is that the area is open plan, there is no segregation between the different age brackets. The babies can see the infants and the infants can see the soon to be children. This helps with development and influencing the child to follow suit of other children; Major plus for my wife and I.

Review from Gemma S (Mother of Child) published on 28 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Orchard is a lovely nursery, really supportive of all families and children. The nursery is very inclusive and have been very accommodating for children with additional needs/SEN and helping to ensure that children are prepared to move on to a reception setting.
The food is delicious and freshly
prepared from scratch, on-site, from fresh ingredients every day.
My child has loved learning phonics, numbers and letters and always has lots of fun at nursery with arts and crafts and free play too.
The outside area is large enough for trikes, water, sand, a mud kitchen, making dens, etc. as well as the sports activities which happen throughout the week. The children get plenty of time outside in the fresh air. As well as football and tennis, the nursery also has a children's drama and dance teacher come to the nursery weekly and they put together a show for parents at Christmas and graduation time which is lovely.

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.
