The Learning Tree Nursery School

This is a really good nursery. Karly and the team have turned the nursery around from what it was a year and a half ago. Really good communication and care. Our son has been here for 2.5 years now and continues to develop well. The staff members continue to be friendly and receptive to feedback. They can improve on the extra curricular activities for the children as well as having regular progress tracking against milestones for the children in the senior rooms.

I would have given 5 stars however I do have some concerns for how exposed the toilets are in an area where adults pass through to drop/collect their kids off regularly. To aid this issue I'd suggest installing high doors or curtains in the entrance to protect the children's modesty and privacy during busy times. I'm sure with this being addressed it would help many parents and children feel more comfortable and help the nursery achieve the 5 stars. :)

My daughter has been attending the nursery for 6 months and we've had a good experience so far. We get regular updates with pictures which bring so much joy to our day seeing her taking part in fun activities and laughing away! Equally if there are any issues we know the staff will message or give us a call right away which puts us at ease as regular communication is so important. All the staff are really friendly and are so great with the children. My daughter has thrived in her development since joining.

My son has been attending the nursery since July 2025, and his development has progressed remarkably since he started. His communication skills and understanding are exceptional! The staff create a nurturing and stimulating environment filled with engaging activities. He particularly enjoys their local walks, especially to the park. They keep us informed about his day through the app, and I eagerly anticipate the pictures of his time spent with friends. The nursery has truly transformed, and the new management team is doing an incredible job. As parents, we are excited to see what the future holds!

Great nurturing team at the learning tree. Our little one continues to thrive. The nursery was not in a good place when Karly took over, and there has been significant improvement in the look and feel of the nursery. Things are now more orderly and communication has been fantastic over the last 3 months.

Overall, would recommend!

It's such a lovely, nurturing environment and I'm so grateful to the whole team for everything they do. I'd 100% recommend The Learning Tree Nursery School Romford to any parent looking for a warm and welcoming place for their child.

My daughter has been going to The Learning Tree since May and has been loving her time at the setting so much. She has built a strong bond with her teachers as they have all been so open and welcoming to her. The nursery share a lovely set of pictures throughout the day of an activity they have gotten up to which is lovely to see - I do think it would be great to see more pictures of the activities and tasks they do to get a stronger understanding of their learning and progression. But the tasks shared are all engaging as the littles ones always look happy and involved. I would 100% recommend this setting. As a first time mom who was anxious about the whole Nursery process the staff always keep us well informed of needed information and are always on hand to answer any questions. The way my little girl has settled in so effortlessly and has created great bonds with her direct teachers and other staff in the nursery is a great testament to how nurturing the setting and staff are.

I've also had a few discrepancies with fees and how they're calculated which have been a little inconsistent. The invoices can be difficult to understand and how discounts are applied so I think this is an area for development.

Learning Tree has made me feel more at ease as a first-time mother.

The team is open to all feedback and do their best to fit all the requests.

I'm mostly satisfied with the nursery. I really like that they organize many interesting activities for the children and that the teachers make an effort to help them develop their skills. You can tell they truly care about the kids' progress, and the children enjoy going there.

It took us a long time to find a nursery and we have definitely found the right nursery good space great team

Would definitely recommend this nursery which my daughter attends. She has been here for about 7 months now, and she loves it. She is making so much progress whilst being here with making lots of friends and her confidence every day just continues to grow. Updates throughout the day of what my daughter has been up to or what she's eating etc. The staff are so lovely and friendly, the manager and office manager also. Defo a place to choose!

My daughter has been only going for a couple months now, but she absolutely loves it. Comes home so excited to tell us all about her day. There are so many facilities for all the children, staff are so loving and kind.

My daughter joined the baby room earlier this year and I've seen huge progress in her mobility, speech and general independence. She engages well with the other babies and toddlers and is thriving. The key workers in the willow room are all personable and affectionate and appear to really bond with all the children and my daughter, in the short time I observe their interactions, appears to engage with them all equally. There is however, frequently different team members and so it's difficult to know who is actually her key worker. When one team member is updated, she is typically not there the next day, or isn't a point of direct contact, and so there isn't a smooth transfer of shared knowledge. I'd like to see more warm food offered during tea time and more variety, other than crackers. Overall, the staff have been amazing and positively encouraging with my daughter.

The staff are all very friendly and professional, and it's clear the place is run by a proper management team, who understand the needs of the kids and the parents. I love that you can pick up and drop off in your kids' classroom for example. Our daughter had been looked after at home before coming here at age 3 and the transition has been very smooth. Two months in, we're really pleased with our choice. Our son went elsewhere and whilst it was a safe, suitable environment, the updates were sparse and we were not allowed inside for most of the time (well after lockdown ended) which made it feel very secretive - it's completely different at The Learning Tree. We'd recommend it to anyone.

We thoroughly recommend the nursery and in particular everyone in the Willow Room.

My child is really happy here and has settled in really quickly. I love the updates I get throughout the day which put my mind at ease. I can also understand how she has eaten and slept throughout the day, and what to expect when I collect her. My child seems to be learning lots and enjoying her time spent at the nursery. The facilities are great and so are all the extra touches which make it feel extra special. The staff in the willow room have been absolutely fantastic and all management are really friendly.

We're thrilled with our daughter's progress at Learning Tree Nursery, where not only the education but also the exquisite interior design contributes to a stimulating and welcoming environment. The vibrant, thoughtfully designed spaces encourage creativity and exploration. With safety and openness prioritised, and classrooms personalised with children’s art, the nursery clearly understands the positive impact of the environment on development. This beautiful, functional setting is why we’re so pleased with our daughter’s development, making Learning Tree Nursery an exceptional choice for any family.
