A fantastic nursery in a homely environment. The staff are well trained, caring and have loads of energy! Both my children have attended from 6 months old and have never been anything other than completely settled. The staff always take any concerns you may have about your child very seriously and are
quick to assess a situation and provide reassurance or put plans in place to improve it. The Orchard is the most amazing outdoor environment for children to play and learn and the chickens and rabbits as well as Barry the Bird are the icing on the cake! Top marks from us.

The Orange Tree Nursery is amazing. The girls that work there don't just look after the children but the parents too. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds before she started school. Now I use the nursery as an after school club as they collect her from school and feed and entertain her until I finish
work to collect her. I would highly recommend this nursery. If I do ever have another child I would put them in this nursery full time without a doubt. Lovely nursery layout and the workers are fantastic.

Overall really good nursery. Staff are always friendly. They must work hard to keep children entertained all day. The building is great and if the work they are carrying out is due to them being slightly more expensive than other nurseries, then it should be worth it.

Excellent nursery. My son loves his time here and I've even upped him an extra day when I'm not working. The girls make him feel at home and always welcome him with a smile as soon as he gets to the gates he runs in. I have recommended this nursery to several people and I couldn't rate it high enough.

Our 2-year-old has been going to the nursery since he was 6 months old. All the staff have been very helpful and attentive and our little star is certainly looked after very well. There have been days when it is a struggle to get him back from nursery (in a nice way!). His dietary requirements (vegetarian)
have been well catered for and he has come leaps and bounds in his overall development. There have been continued improvements to the care, playing facilities and the latest one being the large screens to assist in child's learning.
We get timely updates and the elog system introduced has made it really easy to see the wonderful journey our little star has undergone and will be continuing at the nursery.

Very impressed with the care and attention Orange Tree provides. Extremely clean nursery, with countless activities. The staff are very engaging and informative and I trust their educated judgment in making decisions for my wee one. I know I made the right choice in Orange Tree, I cannot rate it highly
enough.

Such a wonderful nursery - our child has been coming here since 12 months old and our second child will be coming here later this year. The nursery is light, bright and very welcoming. The staff are very friendly and professional and you feel confident that your child is in safe hands and being looked
after to the highest standard. The activities for the children are tailored according to age and are varied each day with lots of creative/messy play with an educational element in a lot of what they do. Would not hesitate to recommend.

My son loved Christmas time at The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover, they had so many different activities for him and special Christmas cards were also on offer for parents to buy which I thought was a wonderful idea. Special care and attention was taken and Santa came in with presents for the
children! My son was sent home with everything that he had made which I am able to put into his scrapbook! The staff are always lovely and attentive.

Really well thought out setting, great staff, good communication and overall lots and lots of happy looking children! My son has an engagement plan set out for him and I receive daily feedback and pictures so that I can feel part of his day. Lots of care and attention goes into their activities, food,
engagement and development. The outdoor spaces are lovely....I can't wait for my little one to be big enough to get out and about in their playground!

The nursery is in a great location and the staff put the surroundings to great use for the children. It has a great outdoor area where they have animals and lots of great activities for children to do. Also, the nursery is great working with the children on their individual needs and support each other.
One of the best nurseries I have viewed and been to with lovely staff and a great place for children to grow and learn.

My son has attended Orange Tree since August 2016 - he had just turned 1.
It was such a difficult time for myself leaving him and going back to work, however, I very quickly felt at ease leaving my son in their care.
The staff fully listen and take into account each child's personal needs and preferences
and follow the wishes of us parents to the letter.
I can't thank the staff here enough - without them, I simply wouldn't have emotionally felt able to return to work. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since he started here - he has picked up something new every day. He is growing into a very independent, happy little boy and I have Orange Tree to thank for their input.
He adores the staff and has formed close bonds with them. I also love how they always, without fail, take time away to tell you about your child's day in full detail when you collect them. My son now sometimes cries because he doesn't want to leave Nursery to come home!

Both my children attended from the age of 6 months through until starting school. They thrived from the relaxed nature of the nursery.
The staff were all brilliant, each having different skills, they were great at helping them settle in and encouraging them all the way through.
The surroundings are
amazing and all the children loved the orchard. The nursery seemed to improve facilities week in week out, with new toys and learning gadgets.
I loved the Orange Tree, mainly because I knew that while I was at work the boys would be having fun. They were so enthralled in what they were doing they wouldn't notice I was there to pick them up.

Very happy. The outside space was the reason for choosing. We moved from down south and this was something that was important to us as my son loves being outside. He has settled very well with the help from the staff and loves going.

Feeling slightly nervous about leaving our first child at nursery, we were struggling to find somewhere that we really liked. Orange Tree has been amazing in helping us all settle into our new routine. Our daughter loves her key workers, and often talks of them when she's not at nursery!
We love the
fact that there is plenty of inside and outside space for her to explore and play in, and she seems to have so much fun! Thank you for making a stressful choice so much easier.

This is a brilliant setting with brilliant engaged staff. Both of my children went here before starting school and absolutely loved it, so much so that they always want to go back in the holidays! The garden is amazing and indoors there is always lots going on. The staff take the time to get to know
your child so you get really good personal feedback. I can't recommend this nursery enough, I have never had any problems with them, and when my son was seriously ill they did so much to accommodate him and were so helpful. Definitely the best nursery we looked at in the area, there was no comparison which made our decision to chose it for our children very easy!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.546)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.546) out of 10 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.921 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 114 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Mickleover is based on 10 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.625

  • 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.
