Both of our children have attended Magnolia Tree over the last 4 years - they had a wonderful time! We have really appreciated how the nursery staff have supported our children's development and helping to shape the curiosity and appreciation of the world around them.

Review from Tamara C (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been really happy and grateful for this nursery for my 15 month old. The staff are always very friendly and my daughter responds really well to them. They do a variety of really interesting activities, go out in their spacious garden almost daily, provide healthy, varied meals and give very thorough handovers. My daughter settled in quickly and I feel completely at ease leaving her in their capable hands.

Review from Quang N (Father of Child) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been at Magnolia Tree 3x/week since 9 months old, and really loves it. We love the daily photo updates, and hearing about all of the activities he gets to do. His development has exploded, and we are amazed at how much he seems to learn at nursery. We are very appreciative to be able to have early drop-off and late pick-up, as this really helps us with work. Huge thank you to all of the staff at Magnolia Tree for helping our son to flourish.

Review from Cassie W (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started in January and my experience has been extremely positive. The staff are all very friendly, happy, welcoming and absolutely fantastic with the children. My son has really come so far since starting at the nursery, and they work really hard on promoting listening and encouragement for all children to join in the activities. There is always fun activities, such as painting, building and reading as well as lots of time in the garden, which is lovely and big with lots of space to play and even a small pond (completely safe) with newts. They have good food with lots of variety and really promote healthy eating.

The morning handover is always kept positive and calm as is the pick up, where the staff go through their day, everything they ate, how they slept and what they did. I'm always very impressed with how knowledgeable they are, and I leave knowing my son has had lots of fun! I would highly recommend this nursery, I'm very happy and my son absolutely loves it!

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 7 month old baby started his settles in February and now does full time at nursery and we could not be happier with the service provided.
The staff are extremely attentive to my baby and his needs, they keep me and my partner updated through the app with lots of photos and messages which is very reassuring for an anxious first time mumma!
The outdoor space is lovely and has a variety of activities to explore.
The staff are extremely warm and kind and I get a really nice family feel in the setting.

We are so happy with the nursery we have chosen!

My child started in February and we have been extremely pleased with the care and provisions that is provided for all ages but especially in the baby room as that is where my baby is.

they feed back on how his day has gone with great detail and communicate with us through apps to keep us updated with is development and information. He has settled fantastically and we're really happy we chose Magnolia tree as the nursery for our son.

Overall Experience
My son has been at the nursery full-time since he turned one, and is now in the pre-school room. He has a wonderful relationship with all the staff in the setting, and it's a pleasure to pick him up each day and see how happy he is.

It's great that the nursery schedule in the peripatetic classes to broaden the children's experiences. You can see how engaged the children are and how much they enjoy participating.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Magnolia Tree since he was six months old. He is starting school this September as a happy and confident four year old, well prepared for this next stage in his life. We have always been really happy, at every stage the staff have been wonderful and we have always felt that our son was well cared for. The garden is fantastic, they spend lots of time outside, doing a range of activities every day which he has always loved.

Review from S L (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Magnolia Tree since he was 1 and we couldn't rate it more. The building has a spacious layout with a good ratio of children so it never feels crowded. The area is clean with a wonderful selection of toys and books. The newly refurbished garden is such a beautiful space, and I feel so lucky that he has such a large outdoor space to play in. The staff are all brilliant, so friendly and attentive, he has made some real connections with them over the years. The menu is great, I know he eats so well whilst he's there. My daughter is about to start there and I am looking forward to her receiving the same experience as he has, and couldn't recommend this nursery more.

Reply from Steph, Nursery Manager at Magnolia Tree Day Nursery

Thank you for such a wonderful review! You were the first family to register with us when we opened, and it has been a pleasure to see him grow! We cant wait for the next chapter!

Overall Experience

Our child has been settled and happy at Magnolia Tree since they started. The staff are friendly and professional and I feel that my child is totally safe in their care. They have lots of little friends to play with and they all seem happy when we come and collect them. My child has progressed with their learning and their social skills and Magnolia Tree have been a large part of that. The nursery is well managed and easy to communicate with when needed. Overall we're really happy :)

Review from Micha S (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff in the ladybird room (and extended) are always attentive and care for my child. I am always filled in about their day and any highs and lows that happened. It's really great to see how much my child has learned since they started and how they use their new knowledge when they are at home too! One member of staff in particular goes above my expectations and is excellent at communicating with me. I am really glad that we chose Magnolia Tree for our nursery and I believe this is truly reflected in our child's character and development.

Reply from Steph, Manager at Magnolia Tree Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your glowing review and for valuing our team! We work hard to maintain our longstanding team and are thrilled that their happiness is reflected in the care they provide! We are delighted to have you as part of our extended family.

Overall Experience

Lovely staff who you can tell truly care for and want the best for the children, taking joy from watching them grow and progress. Lots of outdoor time, healthy food, creative activities and friendly faces. The only thing that would make it better, like all nurseries would be more staff per child but this is not always financially possible and I think they do so incredibly well with the numbers they have.

Reply from Steph, Nursery Manager at Magnolia Tree Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate your kind words and support. We love working here, and it's our goal to maintain a positive environment for everyone. We're committed to pushing for better funding to ensure we have enough staff, which will benefit all the nurseries....

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Magnolia Tree Day nursery for almost 3 years. We absolutely love it here and our one year old daughter has just started as well. They go above and beyond to make sure that our children are well taken care of and happy. We love that they offer a pescatarian menu so they never feel left out. They also have so many wonderful activities and entertainment that keeps their days exciting and different. We also love the big beautiful garden. We love being part of the community that Magnolia Tree Day nursery offers.

I've been really happy with the support my daughter has been getting from the Bumblebees team with her potty training and the communication I've had with them on how best to help her. She has made great progress thanks to them.

Review from A N (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We're incredibly happy with this nursery. Our daughter settled in quickly and absolutely loves going every day. The staff are so attentive and caring-she talks about her teachers all the time at home.
As a parent of a child with allergies, I really appreciate how accommodating and proactive the staff are with her dietary needs. It gives us great peace of mind. The nursery has a fantastic outdoor space, and we love that the children spend so much time outside in the big garden. The extra classes are a lovely bonus, and the option for ad hoc sessions has been really convenient for us as a family.

We couldn't be more pleased and are so grateful to have found such a nurturing and engaging environment for our daughter.

Review from Stewart S (Father of Child) published on 19 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at this nursery for two years and her confidence has grown so much over than time. She was so shy when she first went, and now she has all the confidence in the world.
Initially we were concerned about the menu provided (weather our daughter would like it), but she always finishes her plate and goes for seconds as well. It's so pleasing that the food is healthy and full of vegetables. And the fruit snacks are great.

Our daughter loves going to nursery, she has made so many friends with children and adults alike.

Reply from Steph, Nursery Manager at Magnolia Tree Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review. It has been our pleasure to see her thrive! Our meat-free healthy menu is undoubtedly a hit with the children, it is always surprising how much children eat when their parents can not see :-)
