My son started at this nursery over a year ago, we looked at various nurseries and they just didn't have anything we were looking for until we came for the open day at the orange tree burnaston. From the moment we walked in we knew we wanted our son to come here, everyone is so welcoming and the rooms
are calm and inviting. My son has made brilliant relationships with all the staff and has made amazing progress there and that's thanks to all the staff he's worked with so far. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough!!

We have had nothing but positive experiences with our daughter at The Orange Tree nursery. She has enjoyed her time there a lot and is often disappointed to be taken home after a fun day there! The facilities are great with a number of rooms ensuring children are with others of a similar age and with
similar needs. The outside play area has lots of varied and interesting activities and there is access to a wooded area also. The day to day activities provided for our daughter are imaginative and often result in mini-masterpieces of art that we have to 'store' after bringing home. The staff there have been brilliant; caring and communicative and instilled confidence that she would be well cared for and looked after. They have managed administration of an asthma inhaler with no issues at all. They seem to have genuine care and enthusiasm for looking after young children. The management staff at the nursery are friendly, involved, knowledgeable about the children and always available.

Great nursery! Our daughter has been going for 2 years and the staff have been supportive with her development all the way through. Really friendly and attentive - she's warmed to them really well. Couldn't recommend a nursery more.

A lovely nursery developing children's connections and ensuring they are meeting the requirements for each milestone.
Great communication between the nursery and parents.
My son is very happy at this nursery and looks forward to going.
It is extremely clean and operates a no show policy in the
areas where the children play. It also operates a no phones policy to ensure the safety of children and as part of their safeguarding policy.
We are very impressed overall with this nursery and recommend to all our friends.

My partner and I are so pleased with the love, care and nurture that is given to our daughter at The Orange Tree. She comes home full of smiles after a day at nursery and I am so pleased with the progress she is making. The staff are superb; they show gentle care and attention every day. If I was asked
to find a fault with The Orange Tree, I would not be able to find one. I would highly recommend this nursery. Thank you for everything you do.

A lovely nursery that had done so much to improve facilities and care for the children. The staff really care for our daughter who always goes in happy and comes out looking very well taken care of. Our son was also very happy at this nursery and made many good friends who he still keeps in touch with
after leaving for school. They have encouraged confidence with kindness and good values which we appreciate.

My son has been going to this nursery for nearly 3 years now and in his words, "I love nursery". The staff are always so friendly and welcoming and they provide such a great variety of play activities, both indoor and outdoor. They provide a lovely balanced diet for the children and I am very happy
with every aspect of the care provided at the nursery.

My children are both so happy attending The Orange Tree Burnaston. The staff are so warm, kind and friendly. I am kept up to date with what my children have been up to and also what developmental goals they are working on and towards. The children are fed varied and healthy meals which my children always
eat up. The outdoor space is great, my eldest loves the giant Teepee. The staff always have wonderful tuff tray ideas which help the children play and feel different materials that they may not usually touch. It really is fab. I wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else, I love it and so do they.

My daughter has attended this nursery setting since just after she turned one and she has now been there for two years. She loves it and goes in smiling and comes home happy. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming, and very supportive and encouraging of my daughter's development. They always have
time for me and never make me feel like I'm being a pest or a fussy mother. I can't imagine my daughter being safer or happier anywhere else.

My eldest daughter has been attending Orange Tree - Burnaston for almost 3 years and we could not have picked a better nursery. So much so her younger sister started in the baby room a couple of weeks ago. All team members are welcoming and friendly and know every child's name whether they're their
carer or not - a truly lovely touch. The chef provides excellent nutritious meals that I've even used as inspiration for our home dinners. Even our pickiest eater will clean her plate most days (something she definitely doesn't do at home). The children spend the majority of their day outside and completing fun and exciting activities so our eldest is never short of stories to tell us when she gets home. If you're considering sending your child to Orange Tree - Burnaston, you will not regret it.

The Orange Tree @ Burnaston gets 5 stars from me. It's a fantastic nursery and a great setting for children to be in. My son loves attending and he's developing so well and that's thanks to the way the nursery operates and all the staff there. There is always a warm welcome when attending and everyone
is so friendly. I've always been made to feel comfortable and speak to staff and managers openly with regards to any feedback, or general advice and enquiries. I would 100% recommend Burnaston setting to anyone. Credit to all of you as you're doing an amazing job!

The team at the Orange Tree at Burnaston have really helped my son to improve in the last 12 months, his communication skills and confidence are much better with help from the team.
Child care is very expensive or my son would have more days at the nursery.

I have recently (7 months ago) changed my child's nursery to this one and I was anxious to do so. However, the staff have been fantastic and reassure me with updates and the second-to-none care they provide to my child. She comes home with smiles and arrives each day with enthusiasm. The learning skills
The Orange Tree provide to my 20 months have been fantastic and she has come on leaps and bounds. Fantastic facilities and wonderful staff. Couldn't rate this nursery any higher.

I absolutely love this nursery, my son used to go 10 years ago, now I take my 2 youngest and it has got even better, especially after the refurbishment. The staff are amazing and, most importantly, my little ones are always happy to go to nursery.
Very happy Mum and kids.

Our son started nursery at 1 year old and is now 2.5 years old, so he has moved through a couple of different rooms as he has got older. In every room, the level of care he has received has been outstanding. He loves going to nursery and seeing his friends and carers, learning, and having fun. He's
a very confident, happy boy and we believe this is in huge part thanks to nursery. He gets on extremely well with his carers, including his key worker, who has been with him throughout the majority of his nursery journey, which has been great for consistency. We wholeheartedly recommend the Orange Tree Day Nursery at Burnaston!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have had a wonderful time at Orange Tree Nursery. My child has thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant, colourful, airy and happy atmosphere created by both the building and the staff. The nursery promotes outdoor learning and playing as much as possible which I absolutely love. It's great knowing that your
child has been outside throughout the day! The staff are always cheerful and friendly and will answer any questions.
Unfortunately, we are having to leave the nursery due to them not accommodating shift patterns. This is my only criticism of the nursery and one which has affected us negatively as a family. The inflexibility has meant moving my child twice in 1 year. This has been inconvenient but also unsettling. I feel that given its location shift patterns should be considered and catered for. And this should be prioritised over and above the financial benefits that parents with regular shifts can offer.

We moved our son from his previous nursery due to being unhappy with the standard of care, can’t believe how much our son has developed since moving to The Orange Tree Day Nursery on Toyota. He’s singing at home, he’s happy in his environment and he’s developing at a rapid rate due to the care and kindness
from this nursery. We’re so happy and we wish he could be there more days and we’re even upping his hours to two full days because we’re so happy with his progress and love for his new nursery.
They have gone above and beyond with updates, photos, meal times, activities and more. He always comes home happy, well fed and outdoor sleeping is a firm favourite!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Burnaston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.946 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Burnaston is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.946
  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 The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Burnaston is based on 14 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 14 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.
