All three of my children have attended Oak Tree so we've been a part of the Oak Tree family for the last 7 years. The nursery and staff are just absolutely fantastic! The children adore the staff in every room as they grow and the staff love the children like their own. All my children have been supported
in their development and reaching milestones. Their learning is amazing to see and we love seeing the updates and pictures on what the children have been up to and what subject they have been learning. The setting is great and the outside space is incredible. My little one absolutely loves the food and the chef there is fantastic. We love that they have hot meals in the day and a variety of meals etc. Two of my children have allergies, one being coeliac disease which is difficult and expensive. I can't praise the nursery enough. They catered to her needs fully and she was always included. We absolutely love this nursery and can't praise them enough!

Both of my daughters have gone to Oak Tree and I cannot recommend it enough - lovely, approachable staff and a nice setting. The outside space seems bigger than the other nurseries we looked around and has lots of equipment in. They take the children on little outings too e.g. to the park, community
garden or shops. Both of my children have been very happy here!

My daughter has been at Oak Tree since September 2022 at 1 year old. She has thrived since starting there. The staff are amazing and are always willing to help and listen to any struggles you are having at home, and will also work on it with the children during their day at nursery! My daughter eats
everything she is given during her day at nursery, they have the meal schedules on the front door so you can see what your child is due to eat that week and it is always a well-balanced and varied meals!
I cannot recommend this nursery and the staff enough. They are all amazing!

I visited Oak Tree after I was recommended it by an old student who had attended c. 30 years ago and had fond memories of her time there. I loved that it was a smaller environment with only 9 babies in the baby room at one time. The staff are all so friendly and you can tell that they have a passion
for what they are doing. My little girl started in May 2024 I am still impressed that every member of staff seems to know who she is and after a rocky settling-in period and many tears (which she was well supported through) she now runs into nursery in the morning. It's a nerve-wracking decision to leave your child with someone else but I'm confident that she is well cared for and I am 100% happy with my choice!

My little boy has come on in leaps and bounds since attending this lovely nursery! (After a not so great start at another). He is absolutely gutted to be leaving! The manager could not do any more for the children and parents - she's always around to speak to, and can always be found chatting away to
the children too. She is also very knowledgeable about what the children have been up to daily which is so reassuring. Weekly updates on the app for parents, but you can always speak to the ladies at pick-up, they'll always let you know about how the day has been! All the ladies are friendly and genuinely care about the children, you can see this from the hugs that they get in the mornings from the children. The food is great too, homecooked, healthy, lovely meals! My little one eats things that he would never eat at home when he's there - that reminds me, I must steal some recipes from the chef before he leaves - haha! Fabulous experience here, thank you so much!

Both of our children enjoyed their time at Oak Tree, our youngest was there for 3 years, our eldest for 2. We found the staff to be lovely, we always felt happy leaving our little ones with them and confident they would be well looked after. They do a great range of activities and our children loved
the garden and outdoor space. The nursery is well-managed and kept us informed with regular updates via the app, emails and chats. As working parents, the opening hours suited us, as did it being open year-round. Our children never came home hungry or thirsty, and often asked for the same meals at home that they'd had at nursery. They've made friends, learnt new skills and developed in confidence. Our eldest settled so well into his first year at school, no doubt due to the start he had at Oak Tree and I'm sure our daughter will too.
We will always be especially grateful for the help and support they provided us as a family while our son was being diagnosed with SEND. Definitely recommend.

Oak Tree Kindergarten (Ashcroft Road) are wonderful. If you are in any doubt about where to send your little ones, don't hesitate to send them here. Both of my children have been at the nursery since they were 12 months old, and stayed until they started reception. My second child is currently in his
last weeks at the nursery and, as a family, we will be sad to say goodbye. The staff know the children so well, they take safety seriously and truly care about the children they are looking after. They have helped us to raise our children, from exposing them to all kinds of wonderful food, helping with potty training, behavioural 'phases' and preparing them for big school. 5 stars all round.

I'm happy with Oak Tree Kindergarten because it offers my daughter a very friendly and safe environment to learn and grow. The kids go out to play in the garden three times a day which is really great. She learns lots of songs, letters and she has developed lovely friendships with both other children
and teachers. I like that I can call and the team is always friendly and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.538)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.538) out of 10 for Oak Tree Kindergarten Ltd (Ashcroft Road) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.969 for Oak Tree Kindergarten Ltd (Ashcroft Road) is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.969

  • 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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oak Tree Kindergarten Ltd (Ashcroft Road) is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769

  • 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.
