My son absolutely loves attending Oaktree, specifically the ladybird room! It took my son a while to settle, but all the staff were patient, caring, and there to offer endless cuddles when he needs them. He now LOVES walking through the door, always with a smile on his face, and never wants to go home! I feel so confident leaving him with the girls, knowing he is in the best hands, having so much fun, with so many toys to play with, and always well fed. I am so grateful for the way you have looked after my son, and us as a family. We couldn't ask for any more!!

My son is absolutely thriving at Oaktree nursery. He's only been attending since May but each time I pick him up I can tell how much he loves it from his huge smiley face. He has made great bonds with the staff and everyone is lovely. We receive lots of updates throughout the day which we love. He loves his food at each meal time. The managers are very attentive and are always on hand to answer questions that I have. We couldn't be happier and am so trusting of everyone at the nursery. I am so glad we chose this nursery for him. Highly recommended!

My son has settled into Oaktree so well thanks to the amazing Caterpillar team. We get brilliant updates and photos throughout the week and he often comes home with lovely artwork. You can tell from his smile how much fun he's had! The food is great, the management team are friendly and responsive and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

My son had a fantastic time at Oaktree. Communication was excellent and the only reason we had to leave was moving out of the area. The nursery was kept to a high standard, had lots of activities and we were impressed by how every member of staff seemed to know every child's name even if they weren't in their specific care.

Although this review show just for July, this is an overall review that covers the past couple of years our daughter has been at Oak Tree as she has just left to move up to the next school. Admittedly I have not been directly involved as much as my wife, but we knew we wanted our daughter to go to Oak Tree the second we completed the initial viewing. It is like when you buy a house, you can walk into 4x or 5x but then one hits you and you know THAT IS THE ONE. This is how we felt about Oak Tree and I have seen nothing but excellence from them. Our daughter loved going to this Nursery and I have seen her grow in confidence week on week. She has always been happy to go in, and talked about her day with happiness. What more could you want? The staff were great and we would recommend Oak Tree to anyone/everyone looking for a fantastic, homely feeling, safe and happy Nursery for your child. thanks to everyone who works there !!

We couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care and support our daughter received during her two years at The Oak Tree Day Nursery. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured, and it quickly became clear that this was more than just a nursery - it was a nurturing, joyful environment where children are truly seen and celebrated. Our daughter absolutely thrived here. She formed strong bonds with the teachers and her peers, grew in confidence, and developed a real love for learning. The activities were always creative and engaging - from outdoor play and arts & crafts to early literacy and number skills, everything was thoughtfully planned to spark curiosity and support development. The communication from staff was excellent, and we always felt informed and involved. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our daughter was in such capable, caring hands every day. Thank you for giving our daughter such a happy, safe, and enriching start.

We are so grateful to have found such a family-oriented, caring and welcoming nursery for our two children (aged 1 and 2.5). The communication from staff is excellent, the children are engaged in a range of activities every day, and meals are varied and healthy. I would unreservedly recommend this nursery to any friend looking for childcare for their toddler; if we weren't moving out of the area, I would be asking to increase the children's sessions!

Oak Tree helped my son settle into Nursery life very quickly. Always warm and welcoming, and quick to learn the toys and books that would engage him. A great range of themed areas in terms of toy/activity areas. And a good-sized outdoor space. Regular seasonal activities to involve the whole family. Healthy fresh food, not just processed 'kids food' that we saw at other nurseries.

My little one has been at Oak Tree since she was 12 months old. We can't praise the staff enough. The environment is so nurturing. We are sad to be leaving.

Such a great nursery with lovely, friendly staff that all the kids love. Thank you for taking so much care of my child since she was only 9 months old. We will miss you very much!

Overall, a good nursery with caring staff and a safe environment for them to develop. Our two children have attended with one being neurodiverse, Both have enjoyed the nursery and have been well looked after. A big shout out to the staff. The fees are higher than others in the area, and there is not as much flexibility with the provider, however, overall it is a good nursery and we would recommend it.

Orchard House Oak Tree has been an amazing place for both our daughters to grow and learn! They have been nurtured and cared for at all times, to bring out the best in them and they have both enjoyed their time at Oak Tree immensely! We will miss Oak Tree and the staff who have the most amazing effect at all times. Special shout-out to the staff and the whole Oak Tree team.

We have had a wonderful 3+ years at Orchard House Oak Tree, the staff have always cared for my son and helped him to grow in confidence. The outdoor area was a highlight. The variety in food is fantastic for my very fussy eater! handovers in recent years have sometimes been lacking and we would welcome more pictures of the day! But overall a fantastic place! We will miss Orchard House.

I love Orchard House Oak Tree Nursery. My son has developed so much since starting here. The love and support they have shown him has brought his learning and skills on so much.

Both my boy and our family loved going to Oak Tree Nursery. We started our journey with Oak Tree when the little one was 5 months old and he is now 2. The staff, from receptionists to nursery nurses are beyond amazing. Our boy really bonded with the key person and the key person was engaging with our boy in a loving way. If possible I would love to have our boy stay in Oak Tree forever. Would definitely recommend it to everyone who’s close by.

Oak Tree is a lovely nursery, with a lovely family feel to it. The staff is kind, caring and well trained. They have been looking after our daughter since she was just over one and we have had an incredible experience throughout the years, up until pre-school. We knew she was being looked after in a safe and cheerful environment. The nursery is well equipped with toys and items for all ages and they make sure to always engage the children in new activities. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Since 2021, my son has been attending the nursery and preschool at Oak Tree Day Nursery. He is happy and cheerful to go to preschool. He has thrived and feels more confident with the support of the lovely staff. He is able to be himself which as a parent makes me feel reassured. The staff are friendly, approachable, caring and dedicated. The communication through the app allows the parent to be updated with the daily activities taking place at the nursery, hence this good communication allowed me to feel more involved in my son's playtime/ activities. I will definitely choose the same nursery in the future.

The staff clearly care about the children so much. Absolutely brilliant “readiness for school” curriculum from phonics to practising getting changed for PE to getting school uniform in from all the schools the children are going to so they can get used to it. Spectacular graduation ceremony for pre-schoolers, a proper tear-jerker - with so much time and effort put in by staff. I would say communication could be slightly better from management and better information provided when children change rooms but that’s about it.
