Brilliant nursery - staff are fantastic and care deeply about the children. Both my daughters have thrived here, all because of staff commitment. They have also been extremely flexible and accommodating to changeable hours. I recommend Treetops Day Nursery to any parents.

My daughter used to go to a smaller branch of Cornerstone before it closed down and was very happy there. She was very little at that time but I could tell she was happy and learnt a lot of new things, staff were amazing too, always smiling and engaging with children. Most of young years practitioners
moved to Treetops, but unfortunately I haven't seen their faces as happy as before, neither my daughter's. From week one she showed me that she didn't want to go to nursery but I was dismissive as I thought she needed some time to adapt. Time passed, but she still was refusing to go in the mornings, her behaviour changed to worse with throwing things, and kicking, I haven't noticed new developments either. Managerial side wasn't very approachable, it was difficult to get swap days, had lack of communication in regards to illnesses and attendances, emails were not answered until I spoke to them personally. It felt more that it was not a nursery, but a strict bureaucratic estate.

Reply from Paula Malik, Director at Treetops Day Nursery

Hi Katie, we expected this review following the disagreement we had about our policy for children not attending nursery with Strep A. We strongly disagree with your comments and have always been more than accommodating to your needs.

All the staff are really friendly and are really attentive to my son's needs. They provide a personalised handover at the end of his day in nursery. His days are filled with a variety of activities and he enjoys telling me about his days in the nursery.

My daughter has recently left Treetops in preparation for starting Reception. The support, guidance and care she has received from Treetops has been second-to-none; she is, without doubt, more confident socially and in her learning as a result of attending here. The staff are kind and generous with
their time, for the children and parents, and nothing is too much trouble. They provide a safe, engaging and exciting environment and, despite the challenges facing Education of late, remain optimistic and driven to help every child achieve their potential and more. The facilities are airy, well maintained and varied in their opportunities for play-based learning; the indoor play and Forest Garden have been particular favourites but the classrooms and other play spaces are equally inviting. External providers are also well used. I will be forever grateful to Treetops for the foundation that they had given my daughter in preparation for “big school” and the wider world. Thank you.

My little boy has been so happy here, ever since he started in toddlers in June 2020. He's now in pre-school and asks me if he can go to nursery even on the days he doesn't usually go! He clearly has a wonderful time there, has made loads of friends, is very happy and well cared for. The outside space
is wonderful, particularly the forest garden and he has a great time in the mud kitchen! Staff seem very caring and approachable and management is very responsive and accommodating. I'm not sure about equipment as we've only recently been allowed back in since Covid but there seems to be a wide array of toys and games. In terms of school preparation, I think this programme is developing and some more phonics activities are starting soon. The decor overall may be tiring a little but the most important thing for me is how happy and well cared for he is.

Reply from Paula Malik, Director at Treetops Day Nursery

Thank you for your review. Treetops is a old beautiful building and our options for decor are limited. Our Forest garden is a ongoing project and we are thrilled all our children and parents are so happy with it. We are fortunate with our excessive grounds to be able to offer both indoor and outdoor learning.

I just wanted to write a review to thank all the staff who have made my son's transition up to pre-school so smooth. He took a long time to settle into nursery and therefore we were a bit concerned about how he would cope with this transition, however, he has been really happy since moving up and always
has a story to tell when he gets home about what fun activities he has been doing and what he's learnt. His keyworker has been fantastic with the transition, always taking the time to hand things over, and most importantly really taking an interest in my son and his ways, telling me daily all the funny things he has been up to. He also tells me daily how much he likes his keyworker! Thanks for all the hard work you do, no matter how hard things have got over covid, you have always been so flexible and I have no concerns at all about the care my son gets at Treetops.

Reply from Paula Malik, Director at Treetops Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your review the Pre-school team are so happy when parents show their appreciation of all their hard work. We really do try our best.

Having sent my child to this nursery, I can honestly say that I would not recommend that any parent consider sending their children here. The staff do not care about their job. They are dismissive, rude, and at times aggressive. It was a difficult decision to remove our child from this nursery as he
found it very difficult to settle in. However, we felt we were left with no choice as we had no faith that his well-being would be put first given the attitude of the staff.

Reply from Paula Malik, Director at Treetops Day Nursery

Thank you for your review, it was expected. I am pleased to say that the member of staff you bullied is fine now thank you. Your aggressive, bullish behaviour to a long-standing, well-respected staff member, loved by many families was out of order and very upsetting to say the least.
We hope your child has settled well into his new nursery and wish him all the best.

The staff are very friendly and communicative about the needs and development of my child. I love how many activities she is involved in, even though she only attends for a few mornings per week. Regular parents evenings are also helpful to have a more formal check-in. My child runs into nursery in
the mornings, eats well there, plays happily (apparently she has a group who chatter together) and then comes home ready for more fun.

All 3 of my children have attended and all have enjoyed it. As a parent, I have trusted that the children would be well cared for and happy there, plus they have always been flexible in accommodating changes to the usual days.
The older children often comment that they wish they could still go to
Treetops and I will miss everyone there when my youngest leaves this summer.

Our son has been at Treetops Day Nursery since he was 9 months old.
Throughout the last few years we have been nothing but pleased with his care and development. All of the staff have been truly lovely and we've been completely confident in their care for our child. He has formed strong bonds with
both staff and fellow nursery goers, we can't recommend Treetops enough! Sad to be leaving soon (for school!).

We have used Treetops Day Nursery for both my children. My daughter who is now 8 attended from 10 months old to starting school. She has maintained some friendships from Treetops to this day and has fond memories of her time here.
My son is 4 and about to start school and has also attended since 10
months. He loves Treetops and is very happy here. The care is kind and the nursery staff really humour and understand the individual children.

Our experience of Treetops Day Nursery has been pretty much all positive. Our daughter loves it here and feels safe involved and engaged. It's setting her on the right path for school, learning, engaging friends. The flexibility Treetops Day Nursery has provided has also been great for 2 working, slightly
disorganised parents.

I highly recommend Treetops Day Nursery, my son has been attending for the last three years. He loves the teachers, the nursery and has made great friends. The outdoor space is great, with various playground equipment and a mud kitchen, the nursery ensures the kids get outside as much as possible. The
inside is bright, welcoming and has an indoor play area which helps on rainy days and gives variety. The activities they do are interesting, engaging and age-appropriate. All of the staff are so friendly and always smiling. The staff have been very good at keeping the nursery going over the pandemic and ensuring that the level of care is not affected. We can't thank the nursery enough for giving our son a great start in his early development and we will be sad to say goodbye when he starts school.

Even in these strange times, the staff have been so accommodating and have gone out of their way to keep us updated and feel involved in her time there. The food also

My nephew has been at Treetops for over a year now, and I feel it’s a great time to share my experience. On arrival at nursery, he always runs in so excited to see all his teachers and friends, so much so, he forgets to say goodbye! The stories he tells me in the car about his day on the way home are
always great, he particularly enjoys the outings to the park and the nature walks! The overall standard of care from the staff team is unmatched, handovers are always so informative. Management always accommodates at such short notice and are very helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for Treetops 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 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 4.831 for Treetops Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.831

  • 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 4.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Treetops Day Nursery is based on 21 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 111 number of registered child places is 22.2. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.2 = 0.946

  • 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.
