My daughter was at orange tree from 2022 to 2024 and she absolutely loved it. Staff were always welcoming and helpful. They did amazing in improving her speech and she was more confident and fluent before starting reception in September 2024. My Little boy started 2 months ago and he has settled in
really well. I highly recommend Orange Tree.

Orange Tree have been so good with my little one. They have so many brilliant activities to play with, and so much space for them all to run around. My little one loves feeding the two chickens, it's the highlight of his day.

We are amazed with how quick our little boy has settled in at the nursery. All the staff are so kind and passionate. We feel at ease and reassured that our little boy is enjoying his time here getting to know his surroundings and everyone. He enjoys it that much he asks me every day when he's going
back with excitement.

Our children thoroughly enjoy going to The Orange Tree Nursery and we are pleased that we can leave our children in the knowledge that they are happy and well looked after. It is a home from home and gives us peace of mind. The children enjoy the food and the kitchen accommodate our son's allergies
to ensure he gets the same varied and nutritious meals as the other children but tailored to his diet. The Management and reception always make themselves available for parents and are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and there is a good variety of toys, books and messy play. They are very understanding of our children's needs. When we had an external safeguarding concern related to our adopted children, the nursery took it very seriously and helped to reassure us by going through all their safety measures. The staff are all friendly and seem genuinely happy to see the children. We love that we get regular updates and photos (and a daily diary entry for the younger one).

Amazing nursery! We couldn't be happier with The Orange Tree. The staff are genuine, caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to every child's growth and happiness. Both of our daughters have absolutely loved going here, and we've seen so much progress in their speech, confidence and learning. A warm,
nurturing environment that feels like a second home. Highly recommend!

I would give more stars if I could! My daughter has been going here since she turned one and the staff in each room are wonderful. They are so kind and full of empathy and warmth towards the children. They greet you with a welcoming smile and give a detailed handover at the end of the day. They organise
some great activities to help with development. My daughter's speech and confidence has come on massively. She's got lots of friends and really enjoys the days she spends at nursery.

All staff at The Orange Tree Nursery have been exceptional at helping my little boy settle into his new nursery family. They have supported us as new parents every step of the way and my little boy loves going in on his days. The app is amazing; we love reading about his days and seeing his smiling
face in a range of different activities. Couldn't recommend The Orange Tree highly enough.

It's always hard leaving your little one with someone else but I feel a high level of trust with the staff at Orange Tree, Hucknall. The staff have helped my son come on in leaps and bounds and he's come out of his shell so much since starting in March 2024. Thank you to all of the staff!

Absolutely a wonderful provider in our moment of need they opened up nursery to facilitate and try and help us Christmas period. Staff went above and beyond they were sympathetic and empathetic to our plight after we had been let down by a major alternative provider which closed its doors on the 23rd
of December. The assessment was swift and thorough and we were offered a place. The transition was swift, and little one has settled in well and communication has very good platforms and they update on all aspects electronically that as a parent I feel at ease especially when in work and can check in on how little one's day is going.

We love Orange Tree Nursery in Hucknall. The staff have been amazing with your little girl since she joined at 6 months. They are always on hand to offer advice and our daughter has made so many positive attachments to the staff there. A lot of her progress is down to the care she receives at nursery.
They have also been amazing at accommodating her dietary requirements.

My daughter has been coming to Orange Tree since July 2024. Since she has started here, she has become confident and independent in so many areas. Her key workers and staff have been brilliant where it has come to my daughter's medical needs and have been extremely understanding and helpful. As a parent
you worry about your child 24 hours a day, but since she has been coming here I am more relaxed and can trust her Key Worker to tell me how she has been and if anything has happened she will inform me. My daughter has started to understand her emotions and how she should manage them. It is heartwarming when I go to collect my child and see her with a big smile on her face telling me she has had a good day and she has been playing with her friends. I personally can not recommend this Nursery enough after the last awful experience I had at a different Nursery. I am grateful to them and all they do to accommodate my daughter and see how far she has come in less than a year.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 9 months (now 2) and she has thrived. You get daily updates and weekly photos of the fun activities they do. They make learning fun and have definitely helped my daughter meet all her milestones and the parents evenings is a cute extra where you get
to see how your child has progressed and what's their next targets.
Also the staff are all so friendly and honestly deserve medals for how they keep going all day, making the kids laugh and help them feel safe. I don't know how they do it but they are all angels.

Our experience with The Orange Tree Nursery has been nothing short of amazing! From the moment we first walked through the doors, we knew this was the perfect place for our children. Our eldest daughter has been attending for the past two years and our youngest daughter started just four weeks ago.
The staff are exceptional, their dedication and passion for what they do shine through in every interaction. Since starting at the nursery both of our daughters have grown in confidence, independence, and social skills. The engaging activities, structured learning, and creative play sessions have been instrumental in their development. Communication with parents is also excellent. We are always kept informed about our children's progress, daily activities, and any milestones they reach. We cannot recommend The Orange Tree highly enough! The care, support, and nurturing environment they provide are outstanding. If you are looking for a nursery where your child will thrive, this is the place.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall 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 67 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 67 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 4.993 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is calculated as follows: ( (795 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 800 Ratings = 4.993

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is based on 67 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 160 number of registered child places is 32, which has been reached with 67 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
