Beautiful nursery. My son loved it here so much. The staff are very lovely and you can really see they interact and know the children well. Highly recommend if you want that home-from-home and caring environment for your children. Looking forward to experiencing this again when my youngest starts in
September!

My children have attended this nursery since 2022 and their development since being there has come on leaps and bounds.
The settling-in sessions before they start are a great way to familiarise the children with their new surroundings but also great peace of mind for us as parents. Leaving my children
for the first time and going back to work after maternity leave was so difficult however, the team at Apple Trees Nursery reduced my stress and worry simply because my children were/are so happy in their care. The whole team are lovely in particular five specific members of staff who have all played a huge part in my children's learning and development; they are all an absolute credit to the manager and the director. Thank you all for making my children's nursery journey so happy and so special

I am thrilled to share my experience with Apple Trees Nursery, where I am delighted to send my grandson. The warm and inviting atmosphere immediately put us at ease. The staff are exceptionally caring, ensuring each child feels special and supported.
The facilities are bright, clean, and equipped with
educational toys and resources for different age groups. Their curriculum blends play and learning seamlessly. My grandson loves the interactive storytime, creative art sessions, and outdoor play, which provide a balanced mix of fun and education.
The nursery maintains excellent communication with parents, keeping us updated on our child's progress and daily activities. Safety and hygiene are top priorities, giving us peace of mind.
Overall, Apple Trees Nursery is a nurturing and stimulating environment where children thrive. I highly recommend it to any parent or grandparent looking for a trustworthy and enriching childcare option.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for 10 months and has settled amazingly! The staff are very knowledgeable and have really helped her with her development! She has strong bonds with all the staff and will walk straight into the setting without hesitation. I really enjoy the app as the staff
keeps parents informed and involved in their day with pictures and what they have eaten etc! I would recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking to start their child in a nursing setting! Thank you for all that you do!

My son has been attending the nursery for 3 months and I am so glad I chose this nursery. The manager is lovely and made sure my son was settled before I went back to work. I liked the starter sessions, the staff are so friendly my son took a shine to them instantly. The staff asked about our routine
at home and by the end of the first session I felt they knew all about him!
I like that there are a small number of children in the baby room. The staff organise a range of activities and my boy always has a busy day. I like the app the nursery use, I can see my son's nappy changes, bottles and what he's had to eat while I'm at work. The staff send me pictures of him playing each session. I can send messages to the baby room staff which is great, because I always forget to tell them something in the morning.
Overall, I am so happy with the nursery. My son has made so much progress thanks to his key worker. Thank you Apple Trees Nursery.

I can't praise this nursery enough. My little boy started here in January 2023 at 11 months old. He had barely been away from me in that whole 11 months so I was dreading him starting nursery. However within weeks he settled into the baby room and now at 17 months he couldn't be happier going in every
morning. The staff that take care of him are so obviously genuinely caring people but they also are teaching him so much stuff. His understanding is coming on more each day and his fine motor skills are to me incredible and this is because each day he does an enjoyable learning activity. I have 2 older children and they both went to nurseries which I did love but this place is something else and I am so thankful I got his place. I couldn't recommend it enough.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for well over a year and she loves it. She has made some friends and has grown a lovely bond with the staff, especially four staff members in particular. Since being there the staff have really helped her with her development as she was a little behind and
she has come on so much in a short space of time.
The nursery always keeps the parents and guardians up to date and involved in the child's day.
They've only been open a short time but they have achieved such a lot and have been given 'good from Ofsted'.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking to start their child in a nursing setting.

My daughter has been at this nursery since it opened she is very happy to go to nursery and will happily wave goodbye to me at the door. This is promising for me as it shows she likes to go and feels comfortable there.
They do loads of different activities and each day my daughter tells me all about
her day and her favourite teachers, who are welcoming, polite, and very friendly. They do a variety of different foods which has helped my daughter try new things that she has ended up loving.
If ever I have more children in the future I won't think twice about which nursery it would be for them, Appletrees all the way.
Well done to managers and staff for creating a lovely, caring, educational place for our children.

My daughter really enjoys it here she has come out of her shell so much. It's lovely to hear about the conversations she has with staff and friends and how she is coping with the next stages of learning. Would like to have a full handover/breakdown of her day more as sometimes don't get to (how/what
she's eating, favourite activities, books, learning).

Our son has been going to the nursery for over a year and absolutely loves it. From day one we have been full of ease and assurance he is in good hands. Three members of staff in particular are amazing. They are so good with him and do a fantastic job teaching him new things. The activities they come
up with are so clever and imaginative. He has developed so much since being at the nursery and he looks forward to going each day.

Terrible place! When applying was told couldn’t do a Wednesday then got an email to say he could do every morning. Once started was told had a big meltdown on the second day but was not called when it happened. Only got told when picked him up. Then was told can’t have him in the nursery the day after
(fell on a Wednesday) after no contact was made sent an email and had no response.
The manager hasn’t got a clue when asked simple questions. No key worker assigned.

Having waited fifteen years for our baby girl to arrive, she is absolutely precious to my wife and I and every step of her life journey is both exciting and nerve-wracking, ensuring you do your best as a parent.
I am pleased to say, getting our daughter into nursery was one of the easy parts of our
parenting journey, this was made possible thanks to the director and senior nursery manager of Apple Trees Nursery who made us feel really relaxed from day one, our daughter has loved every minute of attending nursery, the staff are excellent and have really helped our daughter develop.
If you are looking to enrol your child into nursery then look no further than Apple Trees Nursery. I cannot speak highly enough of the director and senior nursery manager and their team, my wife and I and our little princess could not be happier.

It is a very good nursery with good members of staff. They give me feedback on a daily basis regarding my child's activities.
They also gave a summary at the end of the term.
My son's speech has also improved tremendously, as he had delayed speech before joining them.

My 1 year old started Apple Trees in September and I'm so happy I was able to get him a place here! Communication is really detailed and with quick turnaround. All staff members are friendly, caring and reliable, giving you peace of mind. The app, invoicing and drop-off and collection procedures are
the best I've seen from any nursery I have used previously for my older children. My little one has really come on with development in the last 2 months and that is mainly down to his fantastic key workers.

This nursery is 10/10. Their values and standards are well above anywhere else in the area. Our daughter is more than happy to be here and we are more than happy for her to be there too. So far the nursery has proven to be a safe, secure and comfortable place where our daughter is able to be herself
and learn/explore new things every day. Updates regarding her day including food, nap times and activities are communicated clearly in person and via the app. Any concerns are addressed immediately and they always help wherever they possibly can. All of the staff seem competent and professional at all times and are very friendly and understanding. So far I cannot fault this nursery and since they seem to be improving every single day, I look forward to our daughter's future with the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Apple Trees Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.743 for Apple Trees Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.743

  • b) 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 Apple Trees Nursery is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
