We couldn't be happier with the nursery. Our kids have gone to The Orchard Day Nursery from the baby class all the way up to preschool and they love it. They love the activities and care and they have a wonderful garden. The staff are loving and caring while teaching the kids good manners, values and
how to focus on activities. The food is fantastic and kids are taught to be increasingly independent.
I would strongly recommend it. Teachers and management are incredibly professional.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 6 months old. The staff are amazing, friendly, caring and supportive. He has always been extremely happy to go to the nursery and I can see how being there has helped him develop his social skills.
The management is quick to respond to communication and
they are extremely flexible and accommodating.
The food is amazing with a balanced diet with lots of variety.
The activities are good and creative, however, could benefit from more variety in the under 2s room.
We regularly receive reports about progress with pictures, so that we always know what our son is doing during the week and where he is in his development journey.
I would definitely recommend it!

They have lots of varied activities for the children which keeps them stimulated and entertained. People who work there are friendly
and caring. We definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking.

Our eldest daughter joined this nursery towards the end of the covid period - we had struggled to get tours of nurseries and were grateful for the chance to view the setting (carefully safeguarded at the time) in person. We really liked the unique layout where rooms are still separated by age but the
younger kids can also see how the older rooms work too. The garden has had a makeover since we registered and we love how it is now with areas to cycle, a sand pit, veg garden - it's always lovely to see pictures of the kids playing there. We also liked how the kitchen and dining area takes centre stage in the nursery and there is a very varied menu of mostly hot food and fresh fruit snacks which we had also really wanted from a nursery. The staff have always shown a very high level of care towards our daughter and when we shared we were expecting again we received a lot of support. We appreciate the extended hours of 7-7 and feel we get good value for money from this. Highly recommend

We love Orchard Day Nursery. Our child has been there since the 2-3's room and now in pre-school. The carers and educators are kind, helpful, optimistic and fun. The nursery has lots of activities, covers key events of the year and is very open and inclusive in its syllabus. I am constantly in awe at
how much our child has learnt, the growth in their development/skills and what they come home to share about their day. I've met like-minded families and it's a wonderful community to be a part of. The facilities have also recently been refurbished, such as the outdoor garden and there is a chef on-site for food/the kids' menu. The location is very convenient to transport and nearby amenities. I would highly recommend the nursery to any family looking, I am very happy we made the decision to go there!

Our son has been at the nursery for a year and a half, and we have had no problems whatsoever. The staff have always been enthusiastic and caring. Our son clearly learns lots of fun things that we couldn't reach him at home. The meals are healthy, and they have a good outside play area. The manager
is prompt with admin. I would highly recommend The Orchard Day Nursery.

Both my children went to Orchard Day nursery with my youngest still attending. The staff are incredibly kind and caring with a low turnover, which is unusual for the industry but excellent for children because they grow up seeing the same faces and having their needs met. The technology is so good and
I feel a part of my child’s day. I feel that the prices are fair and the staff are so good with the children who do such a wide variety of activities, from yoga and mindfulness to tennis and written learning. The food is also excellent! Personally, I feel that the nursery have excellent staff and the chef is excellent! The nursery is open plan and everything is clean. I know because my child’s socks aren’t horrifically dirty after a day in them!

The Orchard Day Nursery is an incredibly warm and happy place. It is a lovely open plan setting with great facilities but the dedication and level of care from their staff is its greatest strength. They are highly motivated, knowledgeable and kind which creates a very warm and supportive environment.
My son had SEN issues and the work the nursery did with him and the support they gave us, was highly appreciated. Included in my praise of the staff, is the chef who is amazing and the children are very lucky!

We have had a very good experience with the nursery for both of our children who are in different age groups. Generally speaking, the staff are attentive to the children's well-being and invested in their development. We feel that the learning experience is personalized and well balanced. The staff
are also very friendly and caring. We really can't ask for more! Both the staff and the management are great at communicating with us and always available to hear about our concerns and reassure us. The app is also a great tool that provides us with a glimpse of what the kids are up to at nursery and they are always up to great things! We are happy with the variety of activities offered including the tennis/football and French classes. Management is very involved in the kids' wellbeing as well as evidenced by the links and attachments formed between the kids and the manager. Lastly, we greatly appreciate that the nursery opens so early in the mornings and is open all year round.

Orchard Day Nursery is truly one of the best nurseries in Wimbledon. My son who is 3 has been attending for a year and here are my highlights:
1) diversity of staff - people of colour, diversity of ethnicity and sex are very important. It teaches children caretaking is not the role/responsibility of
one gender
2) use of tech - they use the app for updates which are incredibly thorough and we get so many lovely photos every day of our children in action.
3) curriculum - every day is wonderfully unique and the team are very proactive in highlighting holidays from various countries and cultures. More recently they are doing "mindful Thursdays" engaging children in meditation, yoga, and kindness. I was excited to learn my child would learn about this early in life!
4) kind staff - every single person at Orchard feels invested in children's development. They have helped me so much along the way, whether it was potty training or getting used to wearing a mask for travel.

My son has attended the nursery for 11 months now. He absolutely loves it there! I had another baby in May this year and my son’s behaviour was hard to manage. Everyone at the nursery was so kind, caring and knowledgeable in helping us get back on track with this. Even now they provide me with new ideas
of any challenges we are facing. The app is a great way to see what your child has eaten and slept in the day. Daily posts on the activities they have enjoyed allow me to talk to my son about his day whilst his words are limited. Nothing is ever a bother for the staff and they are so reassuring in any worries I have. My second child will be joining them in a few months' time. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. Helpful, kind, reassuring, and passionate in striving to help our little ones develop. Thank you for all you do for us.

The Orchard Day Nursery is being a wonderful place for my little one, which he is enjoying every day. The staff are very attentive and very supportive of the children development.
This is my second child at this nursery, and when it was time for the younger one to go to the nursery, I didn’t look
for other nurseries; I already knew that he is going to this nursery, based on the previous good experience that I had.

When my son started at this nursery every time we walked to the entrance door, he would get frustrated and start crying as he was very close and clingy to both me and his father. But within such a small space of time, he has become confident, happy and very sociable not just with the staff and his peers
at nursery but even family and friends. Whereas before nursery, we were unable to take him to other people’s homes because he would start crying straight away. Through the nursery, I have discovered that my son is an auditory learner.

The nursery is great. My son has been going there for around two years. He loves it. The teachers are great communicators, regularly give us updates on his progress and update their app daily detailing his activities. Unlike the previous nursery he attended, the classes are not overcrowded and each
teacher really knows the kids in their care. He does a wide range of activities, helping with all areas of his development. The classrooms are all so diverse, which is great as it introduces my son to children from a range of different ethnic backgrounds. For the location, the nursery represents great value.

The team is great, very accommodating and extremely friendly. Our daughter happily walks in each morning which reassures us greatly. We notice her development as a result of attending nursery. They have called us when our daughter has been sick, which again reassures us. My wife and I are both doctors

Absolutely fantastic nursery, a real gift to have found such a wonderful set of teachers and professionals who genuinely care so much for the children in their care. They provide so many exciting opportunities for them and come up with all sorts of fun and engaging activities. The communication with
parents is also exceptional. They are like family, my son loves them and is always so excited to get into the buggy to go to nursery for the day! Can't thank them enough. Great food options too.

We are so happy with The Orchard. Our daughter has always been over the moon to go, runs in ar drop offs not even looking back. She loves her teachers and friends. The open layout is great. Kitchen is open too so kids can learn about cooking. They spend a lot of time in the lovely garden. The nursery
organises weekly activities like bug theater, teddy tennis, football, French classes etc. Love the Famly app for daily reports and communication. 5 stars!

Our daughter (3years) has been attending Orchard Day Nursery since she was 10-months-old. We have found this to be a very nurturing environment, and she has always been very settled and happy there throughout this time. The activities for the children are stimulating and creative, aimed at supporting
each child's developmental needs well. From the start, we've been very impressed with the variety of new fresh foods and meals provided each day, and we are emailed clear daily personalised reports about how our daughter's day was. The open plan design of the nursery has separate designated areas for the different age groups, and there is always a warm, happy and welcoming atmosphere in the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.806 for The Orchard Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.806

  • 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 18 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 18 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.
