My two daughters went to The Orchard Day Nursery. They have been both very happy there thanks to the amazing staff working at the nursery. They always went above and beyond to make the kids happy. The kids were involved in so many different activities, never a boring day! We also loved the open-plan
arrangement of the nursery and the fact that all the children across all ages could interact.

We cannot thank Orchard's staff enough for the incredible care and support that they have given to our children. Our 3-year-old boy needs extra help with his speech and the team of staff have gone above and beyond to support him, using their initiative and finding extra resources to aid him.
They are
always welcoming, flexible (where possible) and answer the door with a smile. Our children have been so happy there.

Our son has been going to The Orchard for well over a year and we've been delighted with the nursery. He is happy to go and is well cared for, a great start to life. We receive pictures, observations, reports and the staff are always willing to share how things are going during collection.

My child loves going to nursery at Orchard Day. They have developed and progressed significantly developing their gross and fine motor skills significantly. Their social skills and talking have also improved with structured development on both. They are a very independent and happy child and feel comfortable
with all of the staff there. They enjoy all of the food and we appreciate the catering to no or low sugar/salt options. The only improvement would be to keep driving even more communication with parents - we love to see photos/updates and developments and quick and timely updates around any issues or challenges.

Our 4-year-old child has been attending The Orchard since he was 1 and absolutely loves it!
It's a safe, warm and nurturing environment, where children can have fun and make friends while learning and developing their skills.
They have good facilities, including outdoor space where children can play
and learn about gardening and 'mini beasts', and they offer a range of activities like Theatre Bugs and Teddy Tennis. They provide healthy and nutritious food cooked daily onsite.
Teachers provide individual observations about the child development through the app and regular progress meeting with parents.
I would definitely recommend The Orchard. Thank you so much Orchard team!

My second child is in the under 2s room at Orchard. We had such a positive experience with my elder that it was an easy decision to enrol my younger child at The Orchard Day Nursery. Every day I feel confident that he is being well looked after with love and care. It has been lovely to go into the nursery
for family events and see the clear affection that staff have for the children and vice versa.

We have supported The Orchard since it opened when our eldest daughter enrolled. Our second daughter just graduated this summer and we have another starting next year! We have no complaints at all - the staff have always been courteous, caring and fantastic with our children. The exceptional level of
care is matched by the range of the activities on offer, with opportunities for the children to experience a different language, learn tennis (with Teddy Tennis) and other sports, form an interest in theatre (with Theatre Bugs). We have been thoroughly impressed with the development of both our children following their time at Orchard - they have moved seamlessly into reception at a great school in the area. There's no greater vote of confidence than to send the newest addition of our family to Orchard for more of the same. Highly recommended!

Orchard Day Nursery has been the perfect place for our daughter who has now been attending for over two years. The staff are incredibly caring and take the time to make sure they know each child as an individual. The children are offered a very wide range of activities including extracurriculars and
our daughter always comes home excited to tell us about her day. The nursery is a fantastic space with a great range of facilities and lovely outdoor space which gives children the chance to use the garden each day. The nursery have gone above and beyond to accommodate our busy schedule and supported us when we have needed additional childcare often at short notice. The staffing is consistent and the manager has fantastic oversight meaning any issues are dealt with very quickly and effectively. Overall Orchard Day Nursery is a very happy community of children, staff and parents and we wholeheartedly recommend it!

My daughter's time at The Orchard Day Nursery has been great so far. She created strong bonds with adults and I feel safe leaving her in their care, I see her progress every day and am sometimes amazed that she already knows how to do certain things. The manager is great and team leaders give good feedback

My son has been going to Orchard Day since March 2023 and it has been an amazing experience! The nursery was brilliant in helping my son adjust to going full-time and also great in helping ease anxiety. The curriculum is well thought out and we love that it covers not just learning but also helps children
understand emotions, and feelings and how to communicate them.


Their outdoor space is small but really well utilised and we love that they cater to all our food requirements with care. My son absolutely loves going here and adores his minders and has formed great friendships.


I highly recommend it and would put my other kids in here as well!

My son has been attending The Orchard for just over 1 year now and coming from a childcare background my expectations were quite high. From the first show around the manager was very warm and welcoming and answered all my questions (there were a lot). My son settled in a lot quicker than I expected
and before I knew it he was running in and saying bye Mum! The staff are so lovely and warm, always a smile on their faces and my son goes to everyone with open arms. The app is always updated, messages are responded to promptly and I can see from the photos my son is having a great day full of activities and fun. He is absolutely thriving already and we are so impressed with everything he is learning at nursery along with his confidence and independence. We are so thankful to the staff and the management team for giving us such a fantastic experience so far and we can't wait to continue watching our son develop in such a lovely setting. Thank you all!

We are delighted with The Orchard Day Nursery. Our daughters have attended (one still is) this wonderful place and it has exceeded our expectations. The staff genuinely care about the well-being and development of the children. Our daughters feel safe, loved and valued there. We are really happy as
well with how accommodating the nursery is with parents, providing certain flexibility and facilitating pick-ups and drop-offs. We would highly recommend this nursery.

Since day one Orchard Day Nursery have been amazing - the team were very supportive during the settling-in week and really made our daughter feel welcome. She now absolutely loves it - the food is healthy and varied, she loves the outdoor and indoor play and we love receiving the weekly updates and
photos to see what she has been up to. Would 100% recommend it.

No need to look any further! This nursery has it all! My son has been at The Orchard Day Nursery since March 2021 and my daughter was there since April 2018. We have got to know many members of staff who work here and all have been so kind, encouraging and such a support for my 2 children. The open
plan aspect to the nursery is wonderful and it feels very inclusive amongst the different age groups. The meals are all freshly cooked by a wonderful chef and we receive daily updates to say that our son has eaten everything (and extra helpings!). The manager is super friendly and approachable and any queries are always quickly answered. I definitely can’t fault anything and myself and my husband feel very happy and grateful that our 2 children have been given such a positive start in life. Thanks, Orchard!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for The Orchard 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.816 for The Orchard Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.816

  • 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 Orchard Day Nursery is based on 19 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 19 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.
