My son recently moved to Aboyne Lodge from another Apple setting due to Work/Convenience. Ronnie settled straight in and the team really made Ronnie feel welcome from the get go! Aboyne Lodge is a very New/Clean/Bright and happy feeling Nursery and we knew straight away we would be
comfortable with them looking after Ronnie. Charlotte and Helen have been so helpful throughout and I would 100% Recommend Aboyne Lodge to everyone!!

This is the first time I put my child into childcare and it took some time for him to settle, due to new environment, and only going two days a week. I was unsure of what to expect and had some questions in mind, as a parent putting my child into someone else's care. I had a tour of the nursery
with my son last July and I liked the commune areas, the outdoors equipment that support the child motors skills. It was tidy and clean. My son started developing his listening. He was listening to people while shopping and interacting with people more.I do appreciate that the team has been very patient so that my son is at ease and enjoys going to nursery.

My little one has attended Apple Daycare since September 2025. The staff have always been supportive, welcoming, and friendly. I was apprehensive about my little one starting, and how well they would settle, however, there was no need to worry at all. My little one now happily walks into the room by
themselves to greet staff and friends, ready to have a great day.
The communication from staff via the app, and on handover is excellent. I love being able to view pictures of how my little one has spent their day, and the observations to inform you of what the day holds is brilliant. On Thursdays they have little dance sessions, which my little one loves so much.
The meals are healthy, and as my little one has a few dietary requirements, I have found the staff to be very accommodating for this.
Overall, I have been very pleased with Apple Daycare and I would highly recommend them. Thank you to all the amazing staff for making our transition to nursery life that little bit easier!

Apple Daycare have been fantastic, really happy with the care they have given my 1 year old daughter. She's settled in really well and seems completely happy and comfortable. I love getting the daily diary updates and photos to see what she's been up to!

My two little ones have been attending Apple Daycare Aboyne Lodge for just over two months now and I have to give credit where it's due. They both love it there. I've seen improvements with their listening at meal times and social development as a whole.
The two of them are typically sceptical of
letting me out of their eyesight whenever we go anywhere or their around new people, within the first week I practically felt like they couldn't wait to get rid of me whenever I mentioned "Apple daycare" in the morning.
My thanks and praise goes out to the whole team, I can tell it's a place where my kids are truly paid attention to and genuinely loved.
If I ever have any more in future(definitely not the plan) I'll be sure to reserve a spot right here for them.

My son has been at this nursery for a few months now and we are so pleased we chose this nursery for him. On occasion he still finds it hard to say goodbye to me at the gate, however he settles in quickly and comes home full of smiles. I get updates from the nursery, and they are very easily
contactable. It's very clear he feels safe and happy once he's through the door!
He speaks very fondly of the managers and is always talking about his new friendship group and the fun they have together. As a new nursery, the facilities are fantastic-everything is bright, colourful, and very inviting for the children.
The on-site chef is a brilliant addition, and knowing he's getting fresh meals every day is a huge comfort. We also find the school-hours transition and the on-site location incredibly convenient. It's a wonderful setting, with nurturing teachers, and I would highly recommend it to any parent.

Thank you so much for helping our little one, Kya, settle in. She started nursery for the first time with you 3 months ago, and she has been so comfortable. We are certain that's down to the staff who look after her, particularly Helen and Charlotte who greet us every morning and afternoon at drop
off and pick up. Kya is so comfortable walking in, and we know she is happy there (perhaps due to the snacks - she is a big foodie!). Thanks again for all you are doing, it's much appreciated

We placed our 4 month old into apple daycare at Aboyne and I have to say I was really nervous as he was still so small. However, Charlotte and Helen have been absolutely fantastic and really put my mind at ease. I'm kept updated throughout the day with messages and images and any questions they may
have are asked straight away. My little boy has settled in straight away and has a huge smile on his face any time he sees Charlotte and Helen; so thank you all for maki my the experience a great one and for caring so much about my little one!

My 1 year old started at Apple Daycare recently and I cannot fault it. Having had previous nursery experiences with my elder son, Apple is by far superior in its setting, cleanliness, focus on providing a lovely environment and above all else wonderful care. Couldn't recommend highly enough

The team at Apple Daycare have taken such good care of my daughter since she joined at the beginning of May. They could not have done more to help her settle and make sure she has fun whilst learning each day. Each staff member is very professional whilst being approachable and friendly.
