My son has been attending Treehouse for over two years now (age 1 to 3) and they have been absolutely brilliant.
I feel really lucky that I selected Treehouse for my son. I feel confident that he is in good hands and any issues that have arisen (only minor issues, mind) have been dealt with very sensitively
and professionally.
Treehouse is a brilliant nursery.

I am always impressed with how caring and nurturing Treehouse Nursery is. The communication to parents about their child and what activities are taking place in the nursery is always excellent. The effort and imagination that goes into their snacks and lunches are of a very high standard. The staff
always make each day varied with plenty of outside play when they can. My children have always been very happy and settled here and would always recommend this nursery to other families.

My children go to the nursery and they absolutely love it. Every day they go in they are so excited to be there. It's so reassuring to know they are being well taken care of when not with me.
They are fed great meals and do lots of fun activities, which the nursery staff communicate to us on a daily
basis with photos and emails.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

We can't recommend Treehouse enough, we have always had great communication and a good relationship with all staff at the nursery. They have taken the time to build a relationship with our child and he loves going to nursery. All staff get to know each child across the rooms and work very hard to give
your child the best experience.

Our daughter has been attending the Treehouse Nursery for 4 years and is now ready to start school. She has really enjoyed her time at Treehouse and all the staff are great. The mix of indoor and outdoor play and learning, as well as community integration with visits to local libraries, care homes and
shops has been a great learning experience for our daughter. They are always welcoming and encourage feedback to help tailor learning to your child.

We've been using Treehouse since 2012 and our daughter has just finished up this week, over the years all the staff have been amazing.
For my daughter, she has had a special bond with the staff in room 3-5.
The staff member has excellent energy in the establishment as well.
Management has been on
point since the manager took over the position.
Highly recommend Treehouse.

The staff at Treehouse Nursery are wonderful with the children. We love that they take them outside in every weather, communicate clearly and with pictures and are lovely with the children. Another big plus is the healthy food. If any questions arrive they are answered promptly which is another big
plus.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 15 months old and it has been a fantastic experience from day one. The staff clearly care about the children, they are so helpful, friendly and welcoming.
They have gone above and beyond to help my daughter grow and I'm so grateful for all they do.
Dreading
her morning to school, we will miss the staff so much! An excellent nursery with wonderful staff.

I'm confident my child is safe and well cared for while at nursery. The staff are attentive and approachable. I think the older kids would benefit from more 'field trips', getting them used to using public transport and experiencing new things outside the nursery setting.

To start I would like to say Nursery childcare was never something I knew a lot about so I was quite apprehensive like most parents are about leaving my daughter with somebody outside of the family to look after her (attending since just under 1 until now aged 4). However, I have found Treehouse to
be a great place for my daughter to be looked after and I have confidence in the standard and practice of care given to the children who attend Treehouse. Being in Treehouse my daughter has learned so much and taken part in activities that you don't do at home. Now I look at Nursery as a time not for my daughter to be just looked after but a time for her to have her own space and enjoy being with her friends while learning new things. Now I can really see the benefits of children going to nursery from a young age and that is a result of the hard work that goes in at Treehouse from the management to the room staff. My Daughter is always excited to tell me about her day when I pick her up!

Staff are lovely and caring, nothing is a bother for them and all the children are really excited when dropoing them off. The staff are very knowledgeable and take time to get to know the families catering for each individual children in their care.

I was so nervous about leaving my little girl (1-year-old) in a nursery environment, as I find it hard to trust others with her. But the staff in the nursery as a whole made the experience so much easier with regular feedback so I, as a mother, felt included in everything my little girl would be doing
in the nursery and I felt as if I was there having fun too. I have seen such a difference in her socially, her language and sharing skills have become so much more advanced too. My little girl loves the nursery and now I feel comfortable leaving her with the staff in the morning knowing she’s going to be cared for just like a mother would care for her child.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.559)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.559) out of 10 for Treehouse Nursery 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 4.990 for Treehouse Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.99

  • 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 Treehouse Nursery 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.
