My little girl has loved Oak Tree Day Nursery; she comes home a happy girl every day. We are moving out of the area and are really sad to have to take her out of their care. The staff are wonderful - particularly my little girl's key worker, room leader and the manager. Great activities including Zoo
Lab on a regular basis. The app they use to share updates through the day is so great and provides peace of mind that my little one is happy and learning lots! We get regular updates from her key worker about the things she is working on development-wise with her as well. Communication is very good and the manager always has time for you even though it is quite clear she is a busy lady! Thank you Oak Tree Day Nursery team - we are sad to leave you!

Wonderful and outstanding nursery, our oldest daughter was so happy there and our youngest is there now. She bounces in every morning and doesn't look back. The staff are so caring attentive and provide daily updates and progress reports, they really know how to bring the best out of the children, help
them with their learning journeys and more important, keep them safe and very happy.

I am a mother of a child in the nursery, and so delighted to see my son so happy in this Nursery. Great staff and excellent service. I thank personally the manager whom is always there for us whenever we needed help or advice. Special thank you to the staff member who selects the best-qualified staff
for the nursery.
My son learned so much there and has been looked after very well.
Many thanks to the management and staff.

I and my partner rate this nursery as the best option to leave our children. Two of our children have been there and currently, one is in the nursery. The owner is the best lady, professionally looking after everything. The manager is amazing, caring, educated and the politest manager, very caring and
full of love. All the teachers looked after the kids as if they were their kids. We feel as if they are part of our family after many years of bringing our children there, from my 8-year-old daughter and son, and another son is currently in the nursery. We highly recommend this nursery, full of great activities such as sports and music. Food menu is top quality and play area is wonderful.

I can't praise Oak Tree highly enough. The staff are so warm and caring and committed to the children, as well as really communicative to the parents. Also, the extra things they offer like Zoo Lab visits and singing sessions are just so great. My daughter thrived there, in spite of all the disruptions
of coronavirus, and the staff felt almost like family by the end.

I really cannot recommend Oak Tree Day Nursery highly enough. Over the last four years, they have taken wonderful care of two of my sons - showing them patience, kindness and love. The staff are very professional, dedicated and care very deeply for the children. Communication is great - we receive regular
updates throughout the day about food/sleep/toilet/play, so I always know what my son has been up to. The food is nutritious and varied, and children are supported to learn to eat independently. The premises are always clean, and the rooms have a great range of toys/books. There is also a large well-equipped play area outside (well away from the sounds/smells of the road). Staff ensure that the children spend time outdoors every day. The nursery also provides additional activities, such as french/music lessons - or excursions. My sons have both loved their time at the nursery.

Great care! My child really enjoyed her time there. The staff are friendly and welcoming and my daughter was very happy going there. The regular updates during the day on the parent app was great as could see what my daughter was doing during the day.

My daughter has been hugely happy here. She has made new friends and has really enjoyed the care and learning received by all the carers/teachers who worked with her at the nursery. She is very excited to leave and start big school with many of her friends that will be joining her there, but I will
be sad to say goodbye to the lovely staff at Oak Tree. However, life moves on.

Our girls absolutely loved Oak Tree! The staff were amazing with them, and they have developed so much since attending the nursery. Not only have they grown in confidence, but their motor skills have come on leaps and bounds. They have been so happy there - we are gutted we are moving out of London
- if we could take the nursery with us, we would!

My 15 month old daughter has been attending Oak Tree nursery since she was ten months and always loves going in every day (So much so that I usually don't even get a goodbye wave or even a glance back)! The staff are always very kind and friendly every morning - even when putting away the buggy: I can
hear through the window how they greet my daughter when she enters the room: always with a big smile and are very happy to see her. Love that their fantastic outside space is used so much, particularly now during lockdown: so important for them to be able to get out and play every day. Love the regular observations on the app that are linked to the Development Matters guidelines: so important to know how she is progressing and the next steps needed to help her along the way. Really delighted that we chose this nursery for our daughter - couldn't ask for better care.

I have had two children attend Oak Tree over the last 8 years and can say that both children were well cared for and really felt like it was an extension of their family. The staff have always been very helpful and friendly. It is very clean, they have a great outside area for the children, the music
lessons were always a favourite. Thank you to the amazing staff for always caring for my children like they were their own.

I would like to thank the team at Oak Tree for the great job they did in looking after our Daughter from the age of 9 months, especially the staff in the baby room! We felt like she was really loved and cared for, and we know she definitely enjoyed as she would run in to play with her friends in the
mornings.
Thanks again and best wishes for the future.

My two children went to this nursery and I have never had any issues. My kids felt loved and happy. The staff friendly and understanding. A lovely garden where the kids can play various games and grow plants. My daughter loved the cooking activities very much as well as the mud kitchen. Would recommend
the nursery.

A very lovely nursery, my son enjoyed every single day and was always coming back home with a smile on his face. The staff are very friendly and professional. I can see how much my son developed. All the activities were great, also additional activities such as French and music classes were amazing.
The app that was updated on a daily basis was really good, I was able to see what my son was eating throughout the day and I was also receiving pictures with what he was doing. Food was lovely as my boy was always eating well and never came back home hungry. This is a very friendly and caring environment and I couldn't be happier that my son attended Oak Tree Day Nursery. Highly recommended.

Both of our children attended Oak Tree Day Nursery from the age of around 11 months until starting school. Both have had a consistently great experience.
The standard of care is fantastic for all ages/classes, they have both learned a huge amount, have participated in so many different age-appropriate
activities and have always felt safe, cared for and very secure.
The team are fantastic and although many of them have been there for a long time, if and when people do leave they have always been replaced with highly qualified equally caring staff. The nursery provides nutritious food and a very personal, welcoming environment alongside learning which sets each child up incredibly well for starting school. We are incredibly gratefully for the years of care and support which they have provided to us and our children and would not hesitate to recommend them to other families.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.792) out of 10 for Oak Tree Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.792 for Oak Tree Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.792

  • b) 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 Oak Tree Day Nursery is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
