My eldest child has been attending the setting since January 2021 and we couldn’t be happier with the service we receive. He absolutely adores those that work there and he always comes home with a smile at the end of the day. My youngest child will be starting alongside his older brother in September
2022 and we wouldn’t have considered any other setting for their early years education and care. I thoroughly recommend the nursery and know that my child is in good hands.

Reply from Rhoda Breakell, Owner at The Orchard Children's Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review - we are very much looking forward to his brother starting as seeing him interact with and introducing him to his friends, will be enjoyable for both children. Thank you!

My son finished nursery in July 2021 after attending the setting for nearly 3 years. The staff are fantastic and supported me and my son with transition, as he found this quite difficult. Staff are easily contacted via email or phone and are always available to help. You build a rapport with all staff
members which is incredibly important and always lovely to be greeted with a smile. Brilliant nursery.

Reply from Rhoda Breakell, Owner at The Orchard Children's Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery! We hope he is thoroughly enjoying big school and thriving as he did with us! Please don't forget to come and visit so we hear how he's growing up!

My daughter has attended the Orchard Nursery for just over a year joining at the age of two. In the year she has attended she has come on leaps and bounds, she has become more confident in playing with other children before she was shy and would sit on her own, her reading and writing skills have come
a long way and she is now able to write several words as well as read a full book, and more importantly, she loves attending the nursery and adores her teachers.

Orchard nursery is a warm and nurturing environment. My son is 3 years old and started a few months ago. His speech, counting, confidence and overall abilities have come on a huge amount. I sent my son here because my daughter attended previously and she loved it. They have both made lifelong friends
and I feel so grateful to have found this nursery. The staff are all so friendly and approachable!

Reply from Rhoda Breakell, Owner at The Orchard Children's Nursery

Thank you Jenny for your review and we are delighted to be looking after your son and watching him grow with us. It's nice to have an update on your daughter too and we're pleased she's continuing to thrive.

Wonderful, small, family feel nursery with super caring staff. A great range of activities, outdoor play and extra curriculum for both babies and older children. Always kept updated and feel like they are really looked after.

My little girl started Nursery at 20 months. It was a little hard at first until she adapted, but step by step she started to like it. The changes in her behaviour started to appear after a few weeks. She is a loving child and very energetic, but because of the lockdown, I lived in fear that I could
not give her the freedom and opportunity to grow up in an environment surrounded by loving and sociable people. This Nursery was the best choice I made. I found their highly qualified staff, who permanently take care of my child, pay a lot of attention to my little girl and have a lot of patience. The best part is when I go to take her home. They always answer my questions and tell me in detail how her day was at the Nursery. In the end, I would like to say a big "thank you" to all the staff!

Reply from Rhoda Breakell, Owner at The Orchard Children's Nursery

Thank you for your kind comments and I will ensure the whole team see your thoughts. We are delighted that your little girl has made so much progress with us, and we look forward to helping her develop further. Thank you!

My son's development has rapidly grown, all thanks to the staff at The Orchard Nursery. He can't wait to go to Nursery to see his friends, and comes home telling me things he has learnt during the day. I am pleased with the care he has received.

Reply from Rhoda Breakell, Owner at The Orchard Children's Nursery

We're delighted that your son enjoys nursery so much and we have loved watching him grow and develop with us. We look forward to continuing that journey with him. Thank you!

Both of our daughters have come to this nursery and couldn't have wished for better. The staff are fantastic, knowledgeable and so supportive. Our youngest never wants to come home. Food allergies have been handled so well that we have the utmost confidence in the team. Big thanks from us to the Orchard
team, you are all super!

Reply from Rhoda Breakell, Owner at The Orchard Children's Nursery

Thank you Aimee for your kind comments and I'll ensure the team read your review too. We've really enjoyed looking after your daughters and watching them develop. Thank you for the confidence you have in the team - they really are a credit to the setting and have every child's best interests at heart.

My daughter and I will miss the team and her friends very much. My husband and I have been very happy with the care that she has received and leaving Orchards will be sad for us all! The team are brilliant they always have a smile and time for each parent and child. Our daughter has truly blossomed
and speaks fondly of all the team and loves all the different activities they do.
We could not have asked for a better nursery and would like to say a big thank you to all the team for being fantastic at their job. The nursery is like a home from home and we've got our youngest signed up to start too.

My son has attended Orchard for over a year now and I can honestly say, hand on heart, that it was the best decision I have ever made for him.


The staff are incredible, each and every member do a brilliant job of looking after the children and developing their learning.


My son hardly spoke a

word when he first started, now he doesn't stop talking! He sings, counts and has learnt his alphabet.
He has developed a great relationship with the staff and made many friends.
It really is heart warming to see.


I can't praise this nursery enough.


Thank you Orchard:)

Both our boys have been full time at the nursery since they were 9 months old, and I can't believe that the oldest is now "in charge" of the little ones! As full time working parents it was really important to us that the boys were able to be together during the day, and not be in separate age rooms
as they would have been at some of the larger, more 'corporate' nurseries. The fact that at Orchard the children are together all day is perfect. Additional benefits of this set up (although not ones we had thought about when the oldest started) is that you don't have the upheaval of moving between rooms and changing key worker, which some of my friends at other nurseries have found a bit stressful, and it means you have lovely well rounded children that can play with different age groups. The staff are supportive of each other and bring out the best in every child, which they achieve by knowing the children inside out rather than having a one size fits all approach. Under the managers supervision the nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way and the boys are very fortunate to have had such a first class experience which will set them up for all their future adventures. We really can't recommend this nursery highly enough.

I have used The Orchard Nursery for both my daughters since 2011. I can never thank them enough for the positive foundation that they have provided and continue to provide.
It really is the most nurturing, well rounded setting you could hope for! Nothing is too much trouble where your child's needs
and welfare are considered.
I recommend this Nursery to anyone who's looking for experienced, professional staff. I'm actually going to be so sad come July 2016 when it's time to move on.

Deciding where to send your 9 month old child when you return to work, is one of the most difficult decisions you have to make as a new Mum. Deciding to send my daughter to The Orchard Childrens Nursery was the best decision I have made. She has been going to this nursery full time for three years
now and not once has she ever cried about being left there with Lauren and the team, in fact it is quite the opposite - she is often reluctant to come home!
I am continuously amazed at how much progress my daughter has made in the care of such dedicated staff. She has developed a thirst for learning and gaining knowledge as she is inspired by the staff who work there, their surroundings and resources. She frequently sings the songs complete with actions, talks to me about the numbers and letters she has been learning about, but more importantly talks constantly about her friends there; friends which include all of the staff. And all of this is captured in the beautiful learning logs that we receive each term which often bring tears to our eyes!
The staff at this nursery are wonderful and communication is excellent. They are all friendly and approachable and take utmost care to get to know our children, it is because of them that my daughter is as happy as she is. I wouldn't ever dream of taking my child anywhere else.
