Amazing setting with brilliant staff, the feedback always shows me the staff know the children. The setting is welcoming and inviting. We have always felt welcomed when picking up our grandchildren, safety is taken seriously and always ask for a password.

My son is attending Treehouse Nursery and my daughter has previously. They are excited to attend and see the staff as second family! The care and love that my son gets is second to none and he is always happy. The manager has been an absolute gem in being open and friendly when walking through the nursery
and always there to help with anything. My son's keyworker cares for him so well, ensuring he is always having fun, learning and looking after his individual needs.
The chef is so friendly and greets all the parents when she sees them, always high fiving the children and putting a smile on their faces. And of course, making delicious food for the children. Would recommend this setting.

Treehouse is a great nursery and my daughter has always been very happy attending. The team are very welcoming and provides high-quality levels of care. The manager is always around in the morning and evening and knows all the children which I really like. My daughter is offered lots of exciting learning
opportunities and also gets to go out on outings which she loves. The nursery chef is a big part of the nursery and knows all the children too. She always says hello to my daughter. The food always looks great and my daughter has always eaten well. The team know my daughter really well and you can tell they generally care about the children. I cannot fault this nursery!

My child is very happy at the nursery. They like the staff and enjoys playing with the other children. The staff are excellent and show genuine care and interest in my child. They're really informative regarding how my child has been during the day and give thorough information in the daily diaries.
Sometimes doors sit on latches and don't fully close.

The nursery is brilliant, the staff are always welcoming and really care for the kids. Honestly I think the place is brilliant and would always recommend it.
We get regular updates and pictures from play times and activities. Collection and drop off is fun and the kids always come across as happy and
play well together. Great place.

Absolutely love Treehouse Nursery and so does my daughter! All the staff are super friendly and genuinely care about all the kids. This past year, my daughter has really improved her social skills as well as picking up good counting and she can almost write her name on her own! I'm super happy with
the care, activities and food the nursery provides. I like that regular updates/photos are given on the app, which is easy to use. It has been brought to my attention that my daughter shows some signs of being on the autism spectrum and the nursery has been a blessing with helping. They put in an application for extra help/referral as well as discussing with me steps we can take to help my daughter achieve the best she can. Couldn't recommend Treehouse Nursery enough, it's an amazing nursery.

On the first visit, we knew this was the one!
The room layouts, the outdoor space, lunches provided and recommendations.
We recently had a parent's evening updating us on what's been happening, progress made and what the next 6 months look like.
Although my son is a late August baby and will be
the youngest in the year they have made sure he will be ready with no concerns.
The team are amazing as he has worked through the rooms. Now in the preschool room two members of staff in particular encourage my son 2 1/2 days a week and help progress all his skills, socialising, listening, following instructions and being school ready.
Constant updates and pictures are sent to us with daily activities.
I can't thank the team enough for all the help and support to raise my kind, caring, funny character! We will be sad to start school in September but will know my son will thrive as he has been guided by the Treehouse family!

My daughter has been going to Treehouse for the last 16 months. She’s bonded with all the staff and her peers. She absolutely loves going to nursery and is so happy when she’s dropped off and picked up. We have a great rapport with the staff and management who are so friendly and welcoming. It really
feels like a family unit. They have helped my daughter develop in so many areas including potty training. Her development with speech, numbers, and art has been much supported by the nursery. She also loves the food and even has seconds. I would highly recommend Treehouse. The best in the area. Thank you for looking after my daughter. And doing such a fantastic job.

We have been so pleased with how our baby girl has settled at Tree House. The staff are so friendly and caring. We feel like they have really got to know her and know how to comfort and support her. Big thank you to all the staff, in particular the lovely staff in the Butterfly room. Management are
very friendly and knows all the children and has checked in with us throughout the settling-in process. Staff set up exciting and engaging activities and we get regular photo updates throughout the day. Thank you!

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was eleven months old, and has progressed through all three rooms (baby, toddler and pre-school). She loves going to nursery and has made great friends there. The staff have always been friendly and show a real interest and care in the children’s
development. We are given regular feedback and photos of what she is doing and the management provides regular updates and newsletters. My son will also be attending the nursery soon and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

My daughter started in the toddler room a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with what I have experienced so far. She has settled so much quicker than expected, staff are absolutely lovely and it's a very calming atmosphere which suits her well. Loads of natural play and lovely toys for her to
explore. Great feedback at the end of the day rather than feeling rushed out the room on collection. The staff seem very invested in the childrens development and caring for them. A real credit to the new management team who have clearly put a lot of hard work into developing this nursery.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 21 months old and he will be four in May. Everyone has supported his learning and progression through the different stages and rooms he has been in (babies to toddlers and now pre-school). Following some staff changes, in my opinion, the team now work well
together and the support the nursery has received from Storal has been amazing. I will be sad to say goodbye to everyone when my son starts primary school in September and I know he will be too.

The nursery went through difficult times, and we all had to contribute/compromise in a way whilst they were getting back on track, but it seems like this is now behind us. The new manager is a lovely person, very proactive and positive, and you can feel that every staff member has the same mindset and
is willing to do his best to make this nursery a great place. It's just a few minutes walk from our home, so we feel very privileged to have a place there.
Our daughter loves it and has really bonded with the staff and the other children. She's developed a lot since she first started and just moved to the 2-year-old room; the transition has been very smooth.
The garden is great, and it feels like children spend time outside as much as possible, English weather permitting. We don't try the food, and our child is not a big eater, but the food seems satisfactory; what I can tell is that the staff worked on several strategies to have our daughter eat as much as possible, so well done, them!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) out of 10 for Treehouse Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.880 for Treehouse Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 4.851 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Treehouse Nursery School 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.851

  • 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.
