Partou Apples & Cherries Day Nursery & Pre-school

I went to visit the nursery before it even had children attending, all the staff made both my boys feel so welcome, loved and wanted the minute we arrived. On these grounds I decided that this was the nursery for the boys to attend, the array of toys, outside equipment was amazing and I loved that they encouraged teeth brushing while at the nursery too. The boys loved apples and cherries from the moment they started, there was not one tear when I dropped them off each morning. The staff make the children feel so special and loved, the learning that they taught was outstanding and my boys knew things that I didn’t think they would learn until they went to school. The staff all kept me up to date with any issues straight away with a phone call if that was needed, usually, it was that one of them wasn’t feeling well, or had a slight accident (bumped head etc) I couldn’t love this nursery anymore and would recommend them to anyone, which I do.

As a parent I'm more than satisfied for joining this outstanding nursery. Staff are very professional always with a big cuddle for children. My son's first language is not English and it wasn’t easy to adjust to a new environment. His teachers made him feel safe always informing me about his progress. Since he started, his progress has been amazing making strong relationships with staff and children. Nursery’s facilities are amazing with lots of recourses, planned math and literacy activities as well as extra curricular activities. There is a wonderful garden, it's spacious. The nursery is very clean, sterilising toys. Food is organic and tasty with big variety. I couldn’t find a better place for my son as staff is updated about first aid etc. safeguarding children as their own and listening to parents worries offering solutions. It's a very well organised school and supports children in all aspects even SEN. My son loves learning, eating healthy being sociable and independent. I believe this is the best environment for a child to grow and glow, that's why I strongly recommend it.

Fantastic nursery with competent and qualified staff. Since my daughter has attended this nursery I have noticed immense changes in her speech, confidence and ability to form positive relationships. My daughter has made friends, her inquisitive mindset is harnessed and I feel confident knowing that she is in a positive atmosphere conducive to learning.

Me and my husband are very happy and lucky to have Apples and Cherries Day Nursery around our area. My daughter is always happy and excited to go to the nursery, who always welcomes parent and child with a positive attitude. We are happy with the growth and development of our child during these months. Health and hygiene are highly maintained. Staff is very helpful and concerned at all times. My daughter always loves to do the handouts given during the pandemic. She always gets excited by the name of Apples and Cherries, which brings a smile to our face too. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard for my child. Highly trusted Nursery.

We couldn't believe our luck when we found Apples and Cherries. Our son has been attending since they opened in 2018. The ethos of this nursery is a truly holistic approach. Facilities are amazing, with several outdoor areas, ideal for hyperactive kids. Inside, they have plenty of resources that many nurseries would envy, including a fab sensory room. The lessons are carefully planned (science experiments, mini beast adventures, baking, learning phonics, you name it). Even during lockdown we received printed packs, plus daily emailed resources. We could also listen to lessons via an app. Food is healthy and freshly cooked from scratch, incl. pulses, organic fish. Your child will become a good eater. But the reason why you'll love them is their staff. This is not their job, but their true vocation. They'll look after your child and love them as if they were family. Book quickly before they get booked up. Your child couldn't be in better hands. I give you my word.

Every day we are greeted by the same staff members who know my daughter by name and greet her with a cuddle and so much enthusiasm! They really care for her and want her to do well. Each time I pick her up she has learned something new and their activities are always brilliant and timely, for instance, they were doing projects for black history month on inspiring individuals. They also celebrate all the different holidays and events across the year. My daughter goes there one day a week and I have seen her doing Yoga, French, going on a 'holiday', having a dance class and learning about different types of music to begin to name a few! They are really good with all the children's dietary requirements and I know they go out of their way to make sure my daughter has similar dinners to the other children even though she doesn't eat the same things. I like that they send photo updates of what they are up to during the day too. They are very accommodating and flexible also.

I don't normally leave reviews for things but am so impressed with this nursery I want other parents to know about this little gem. My son has attended since January 2019 when he was 14 months, I moved him from another nursery that he just wouldn't settle at. Right from the start, I could see the difference in this nursery's facilities and staff. The nursery is very clean and I like that all children wear slippers so no outdoor shoes are inside. The staff are amazing!! You can tell they genuinely care for the children and enjoy playing with and teaching them. My son loves all the staff and I have no tears when I drop him off, he happily goes in. The food is all freshly cooked on-site and smells delicious, not the school dinner smell you get in other nurseries. My son's development this year has been amazing. His confidence has grown immensely and I am so happy I made the choice to move him there. It is worth every penny and can't praise the staff enough!!

It has been an absolute pleasure sending my little boy to Apples and Cherries. The staff have been welcoming to my son and treat him like their own. Thank you for all your efforts you all truly go above and beyond.

I highly highly recommend this nursery! 5/5!

Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a beautiful friendly environment for their little one.

I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Would definitely recommend!

I love how this nursery covers all aspects of a child's development and how they are able to make learning so much fun and relatable, I am one of those parents where I check and double check everything, I question everything, but I couldn't fault a thing. I was so impressed by how accommodating the staff are and the professionalism was like no other, this nursery has been around for decades. My little man absolutely loves the phrase "we are going to nursery" he gets his school bag etc and he's already showing me how eager he is to go nursery, he is so happy, which for a mother, it's so reassuring, it's unfathomable, because he has been to a nursery where he cried every time I left and now I'm the one, shedding a tear or two because my son is getting so independent and confident. He wants to learn and comes home and is excited to discuss everything he learnt at nursery. I am so excited at how settled he is, so now his baby brother will be joining him soon. I can't wait.

The staff are so kind and welcoming and are super-good with the children. I wish I had their child abilities and talent for entertaining young ones. You will find your little one asking with enthusiasm when they are coming back next!

The staff are very warm and welcoming and are always happy to discuss my son’s conduct around activities day to day.

The nursery itself is bright and spacious - well organised, it seems each room is carefully thought out with arrangements and displays for all ages, keeping my son well entertained!

My son enjoys all his meals, as well as catering to our religious needs the food is always fresh and healthy.

The standards the nursery has set are well above any other nurseries my son has previously been to.

This nursery is absolutely amazing. From the facilities to the staff and to the management, I can’t find any fault. Highly recommend this nursery for anyone searching for a solid nursery that’ll give the highest care and quality that’s needed for our children.

My child started going to this nursery at the age of two. I would recommend it. They pay great attention to detail and are a very dedicated workforce. I was really worried my child wouldn’t settle but I am much more confident. The feedback you receive is second to none, the staff are cheerful all times of the day. The food for the children is of a good quality - catering to different diets. There is a lot of activities and stimulation and sensory stimulation available.

Cannot thank you enough for making me (anxious parent) more comfortable. Apples and Cherries I will always sing your name to anyone asking for a nursery.

Thank you for being so great Apples and Cherries my little one loves you all!
