Staff and manager of the daycare were all lovely. My daughter always look forward into coming to the nursery. They are also very proactive regarding my daughter's development. I am so happy with the help I am getting from them.
Overall very happy with the nursery and my children have throughly enjoyed their experience at Apply Daycare. The nursery provides several activities throughout the week focusing on their development but also some fun too with dancing & singing and gymnastics.
After we moved home, my daughter joined this nursery from another setting and was welcomed with so much love and care. She settled quickly and still speaks fondly of the staff. That experience gave me complete confidence to enrol my son, who is also having a wonderful time.
The nursery is incredibly flexible compared to others we have used. The staff are happy, calm and enthusiastic, creating a positive environment where children clearly feel secure and supported. Georgetta is truly exceptional, and the whole team is kind and professional. The children learn so much, and the staff go above and beyond for both development and wellbeing. They were also fantastic in supporting my son through potty training. I feel completely confident leaving my children in their care.
Thank you,

Would like to appreciate ADC Oxlease for the quality care they offered my son always ever since he joined the preschool and most importantly this January. My son has developed his speech amongst other things quite well evidence of a lot of engagement at pre-school. He is always smart.
My son started with his settle in sessions in August (11 months old) and now attends everyday. The girls at Apple Daycare are amazing, and seeing my little one now stroll in on his own so happy really shows this. They are so nurturing and reassuring. My son has had some issues with his health recently and they really show how much they care. Assuring they do everything they can to tend to his needs, including allergies and always checking in with us on hospital stays. My son has grown so much in his confidence and his independence and I couldn't thank the girls enough for all their hard work, they really go above and beyond for the children in their care. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, caring., nurturing nursery.
My son love the Appledaycare Nursery the have different activities every day,food is very good and fresh .
I'm so happy taking my son to this Nursery
My daughter has attended Apple Day Care since May, 2024, and has enjoyed every minute of it. The staff are fantastic and really take an interest in each individual child. My daughter comes home happy everyday, and will refer to her friends and teachers on a regular basis. The activities are varied, including sports coaches coming into the setting, and the garden area is excellent. The communication from the nursery is good, and they're very responsive. I would definitely recommend.
My son started at Oxlease House in September (age 9 months). This was the first time he was under the care of someone other than me and my husband. The staff were really supportive during his settling-in period, providing messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind and reassurance that he was in the right place. The staff are friendly, kind, nurturing, and supportive-always willing to listen and give feedback. He's grown so much in independence. The fact that he goes in happily and holds out his arms to his key workers is a sign that he loves being at nursery and is truly cared for. The daily updates are insightful and provide a snapshot of the day, showcasing the numerous engaging and fun activities the children experience. The food is prepared on site, and my son loves the meals. He is thriving and developing new skills and language daily. I can't thank the staff enough for their hard work and commitment. The term time contract provides flexibility. I recommend the nursery.
We love Apple Oxlease. Our daughter is so happy there and always comes out of the door smiling. Her key worker is wonderful - very kind and supportive. They've recently been so helpful with potty training. Would 100% recommend. They have all ages in together which we love - my daughters friends are the older girls and they are the cutest girl gang together.
i am really happy with the nursery . They look after kids really well and teach kids some useful learning stuff and all the staff are so patient as well. My daughter learned lot of good stuff in terms of behaviour, learning and communication . I would definitely recommend Apple DayCare center
The staff are genuinely compassionate and caring, they keep me well informed with honest updates, and his daily activities, meals and progress. My son enjoys going everyday and I've seen amazing improvements in his speech behaviour, learning, and social skills. He's always happy each day.
I couldn't be happier with our experience so far, the nursery has made a big difference for our family.
Great to have external companies (eg gymnastics) come in to give children different opportunities.
Menu is varied - giving children opportunity to try things that they wouldn't get at home.
No complaints at all! Thank you xx
They are very happy to go nursery, always have an amazing time. Could not recommend apple day care enough, we've had a lovely experience with them.
I've recently moved my daughter to Apple Daycare Oxlease House from another nursery which did not meet my requirements and couldn't be happier. The staff are amazing, very communicative and always there to answer any questions. The nursery offers variety of freshly made meals and great activites for the kids. Everyday we receive information through an app about day activities, meals, nappy changes, including loads of pictures from the day. My daughter loves going there and is always excited to tell me all about her day when she gets home. Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and patience.
The practitioners are very caring, always lots of cuddles for the kids. They plan many activities to keep the children excited and stimulated.
My son also has special dietary requirements, which they never found it is a hassle to prepare them.
She has been able to grow in her learning and her social skills through the countless clubs they bring in. An extra special thanks to the chef for her amazing food choices day on day and my daughter has been able to try more foods than she normally would with her varied and healthy menu choices.
My daughter, unfortunately, leaves this setting at the end of July for a new adventure in school, and I truly believe Oxlease House has given her the best possible start to school life. She will miss all the practitioners and has already asked when she can go back to visit! Thank you Oxlease House.
What an amazing nursery. Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience with children, for making every day a fun and rewarding environment. My daughter has been attending Apple Daycare for 2 months now and she is so happy there. Since the first day it feels like a second home to her. All the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention, and positivity. I have found the key workers to be very friendly, communicative, caring and so supportive.
My daughter (aged 3) has been attending since the setting opened on the 12th April. Attending 3 days a week, she is always excited to go back -which as a parent is always reassuring! All the staff are very friendly and always helpful to go above a beyond!
This is a lovely brand new setup with a marvellous team that look after the children very well. The settling-in sessions are very helpful with parents allowed to stay and help their child settle. I would highly recommend.
