Review from Abigail M (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been using this nursery for the past three years and have happily recommended it to both family and friends. The staff are wonderful, and our children have always loved attending. Even now that our daughter has started school, the team still greets her by name and takes the time to ask how she is getting on, which shows how much they genuinely care.

We leave our children in their care with complete confidence, knowing they are being looked after by a dedicated, caring, and professional team. We couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

Review from R D (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We honestly couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. Our youngest son, who is now 3, currently attends, and our eldest also attended until leaving to start school - so we've been part of the nursery family for many years now.
Every single member of staff has been amazing throughout our experience. The care, support and genuine love they show the children is incredible. A special shout out to Imogen, Charlene and Kate in Preschool, as well as Aminah, Olivia and Lucy, who have all been absolutely fantastic with our children.
The nursery offers so many wonderful experiences, including trips to the local park which our son absolutely loves. They also have their own forest school and even pets such as chickens and guinea pigs, which is such a lovely touch and gives the children fantastic learning opportunities.

It's such a warm, caring and nurturing environment where children truly thrive. We are so grateful for everything the nursery has done for both of our boys over the years.

Review from Lu Xian L (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My almost 3 years old daughter have been in the nursery since 18months old. I love that all the staffs are so attentive and supportive towards my daughter who only speaks mother tongue at home. Slowly she begins to learn lots of English in the nursery and are pretty good in expressing herself and communicating. We love that we were away for some time and came back with a new settling session that boost her confidence. She managed to make lovely friends that she could know all of her classmates name!
All The staffs did an amazing job to make sure she comes in happy face and leave with happy face. They do updates on everything on the app and Passover information on every single pick up.

A lot of event celebrations and parents meeting evening as well as charity related fair.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended the Orange Tree for almost 2 years & is absolutely thriving! She loves going in each day & has built some lovely relationships with both the staff and the other children. The staff are very approachable and keep us fully informed of her progress, any concerns & I feel comfortable in approaching them if I have any concerns. I feel my daughter is supported well in all areas & we are really happy with our choice of nursery. There is a really good mix of activities in the curriculum & parents are often involved, which makes it a lovely, collaborative experience.

Review from Megan H (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have attended Orange Tree since 2021 for both of my children (one has left, one still attending) and I have never had a bad experience or anything negative to say in all of that time. The staff are absolutely fantastic; so friendly, warm and attentive. My youngest absolutely lights up when he sees them, which makes me feel so at ease dropping him off.
We get plenty of updates throughout the day which is good and management/admin get back to you with any queries or questions very promptly and are so helpful.

I have recommended Orange Tree to other families and will continue to do so as they're so fantastic! Thank you for your hard work.

Overall Experience

My Son has been attending the Orange Tree Nursery since the age of 1 and a half, he will going off to school in September and he has really enjoyed this nursery. The staff are so friendly, kind and attentive to the children. They have been very accommodating with allowing us to book additional nursery days as we work in the NHS. They provide lots of activists for the children to enjoy. We would defiantly recommend this nursery and we are planning for our next child to attend this nursery too.

Review from Fiona R (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is an excellent nursery where all of the staff are very caring and understanding of your child's needs and development. I first took my daughter who is now 7 years old to this nursery and she absolutely loved going to this nursery and we also felt at ease when she was there because we knew the staff and environment is amazing. Our little boy goes here currently and the staff are always doing everything they can to help him with his needs and development and they always keep me informed on how hes doing aswell. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this nursery and the building itself is very modern, bright colours and most importantly warm, welcome and a safe place for our children. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a honest and reliable nursery with plenty of activities for the children to take part in aswell as staff that really do care.

We are so pleased with our choice of nursery for our daughter. The staff are all brilliant and work so hard. If we ever have a query about anything they are there to help. Our daughter comes home happy and exhausted everyday - which I think is a sign of a good day!

Overall Experience
My son started nursery in April and we have been so impressed with the care, communication and attention to deal. The settling in process was smooth and it is lovely to receive notifications and photos via the apps to see how he's getting on throughout the day.

We are looking forward to seeing how he develops and progresses as time goes on.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been in nursery for a year now and is very happy here. She is always happy to go in each morning and always tells us she has had a nice day when we pick her up. She has progressed well with her writing as well as her social skills. There are always a range of different activities and themes that promote cultural capital. The staff are friendly, supportive and clearly know our child well. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience

We have been so happy and impressed with this nursery since our little boy started last September. His experience in the Blossoms room has been so positive, and we have been amazed to see how well he has settled after a few unsettled sessions at the start. We have absolutely loved to see how confident and happy he is at nursery, and how much he has developed since starting. The staff are absolutely wonderful and seem to know him so well which is so reassuring and lovely to see!

All the Staff in the baby room do an amazing job and provide a great level of care to our daughter. But Libby and Seren do an amazing job and help her when she needs a little extra comfort!

The daily updates and photos that come through via the app are always nice to see as well!

Overall Experience
After looking at many nurseries when we came to view this one we knew it was perfect for both our children.The staff are so lovely & helpful, they always go above & beyond.
Both my children have allergies which have always been catered for, never had any issues which was a big worry of mine.

If your looking for an amazing nursery I would definitely recommend. I wouldn't go anywhere else for childcare.

Overall Experience

Both our children attend Orange Tree Day Nursery full time. They love it there and have built such good relationships with the staff and other children. They have been growing physically, emotionally and intellectually thanks to the wonderful activities and learning at the nursery. The children love going to Orange Tree and they actively tell us that! The location is brilliant and the facilities are amazing, especially the outdoor areas. Would highly recommend them!

Overall Experience
We have sent our daughter to The Orange Tree for over two years now and couldn't think of any place else to send her now.
The staff are always friendly, accommodating and genuinely interested in their jobs.
Our daughter is enjoys being at nursery and she comes home and is always super chatty about what's gone off during the day and the food she eats.

A big plus for the fact they have Penny and the guinea pigs as it helps the children to understand different animals.

Overall Experience

Our two daughters have both attended this nursery since they were 6 months old. We really liked the feel of the nursery compared to others in the area. Both our girls loved going every day and have built lovely connections with the caring nurses. We can see how the nursery continues to invest in equipment and facilities for the children. We loved the fact the staff organises activities regularly and are very invested in the development of the kids. We would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the Orange Tree for just under a year now and we've been over moon with it. The staff are all so warm and welcoming and really take the time to get to know my son. There's always a range of activities offered throughout the week! Communication on the app is great and a range of photos and information is shared over the week! The management and reception team have been very helpful and accommodating especially when he started and when I've needed to book extra sessions. Overall we could not be happier!

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at The Orange Tree. From the very first visit, the staff made us feel completely at ease. The staff are friendly, welcoming and genuinely care.
Our little boy has blossomed since starting here - becoming more confident, social, and independent. The daily activities are engaging, with a perfect balance of play, learning, and creativity. We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos, which give us peace of mind and show us what our child is doing each day.

The environment is always clean and it's clear the team puts a lot of effort into making it a nurturing space. Communication with the staff and management has been excellent - they are approachable, responsive, and always happy to discuss our child's progress.
