Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Apple Trees Nursery is nothing short of perfect. They've been incredibly supportive from the start - we moved from another local nursery in early 2024 due to issues, and the team at Apple Trees really helped my little boy start to enjoy nursery again. I am so glad we made the move!


The nursery provide

a range of activities throughout the day, based on different themes each week that focus on the children's interests whilst still encouraging them to improve skills and achieve their next steps. The attention and thought given to the children is second to none, and the communication with caregivers is the same. It's lovely to have updates and photos during the day.


The nursery also hold little events, most recently graduation for their school leavers which is a lovely touch as well as to keep the parents involved and strong relationships with the nursery.


If I were to have another child, I would definitely use this nursery again - we have had such a positive experience here!

My son (now 2) started just before his 1st birthday. He loves nursery and all of the staff who work with him. They work hard to support him when he needs it, ie to develop speech, language and social skills. I can go to staff for support and feel comfortable doing so. This is my third child and Apple
Trees is by far the best nursery I have come across.

Our daughter has been attending since April 2025. With the help and care of the staff she has settled in really well. We get daily updates of activities she has done, what she has eaten etc. The management team are very prompt to replying to messages which is always a help. We have no complaints. Apple
Trees is a lovely nursery.

My son has been at Apple Trees since he was a year old and he loves every second he is there.


Its always reassuring when your child comes home talking about everyone who has spent time with him and all the fun things he has done. It amazes me every time he comes home that he has learned something

new.


In three words, Apple Tree is proffessional, caring and welcoming.

Apple Trees Nursery have been a positive impact on my child and knowing he's in a safe environment while I'm working keeps me at ease. I had searched a lot before coming across Apple Trees Nursery and I'm very happy I waited.


It's been a year since my son has been there and his development and growth

has been helped by everyone there and I'm forever grateful!


Thank you!

Fantastic nursery with great staff. My youngest little boy has attended Apple Trees since he was a baby and with every room he has had excellent care and we are updated throughout the day on the app. Every week he comes back telling us all about what he has learnt and been up to and he really enjoys
nursery! The on site parking is a plus too!

My daughter is very happy here, her speech is coming on nicely after so much worry. They keep me informed about her days, what she's been learning and her next steps. The food they give is healthy and varied and she usually eats much better than at home.

We moved house in January 2025 meaning we also had to change my daughters nursery. Apple Trees were so welcoming and attentive to our little girl. She loves going there now and runs in the door every morning without looking back! Every day we know we're leaving her in good hands. They provide insightful
reports every day to food, nappy changes, activities and pictures! It's so welcoming to know my daughter is thriving well at Apple Trees Nursery!

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.

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).

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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Apple Trees 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.843 for Apple Trees Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (445 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 489 Ratings = 4.843
  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 Apple Trees Nursery is based on 40 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 40 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.
